Signature Free Waxing

Chanara is truly wonderful at what she does and she makes it quick, easy and painless. My delicate skin doesn’t love the bikini waxes I subject it to — but her process made a big difference and I will continue to drive about 15 miles from my home to continue to see her!

I just moved to the neighborhood. I needed my brows waxed and I like to support my local businesses. I called and got voice messaging, which I look at as a bad sign to begin with. I left a message about scheduling a wax appointment. No one ever called me back!

I’ve had two deep bikini waxes which is as close to a Brazilian without actually being a Brazilian and everything went smoothly-​pun intended. The service was quick and basically painless, no numbing solution needed. Chanara is really friendly and professional. She has a cute little spot on Irving park road. And the prices are very reasonable. So glad to have this addition to the portage park area!

Unfortunately, my eyebrows were reduced to pencil thin, uneven lines. I actually burst into tears in the salon. See the photo posted — that’s me with red eyes, after crying. Chanara apologized and didn’t make me pay but lost eyebrows… really awful.

I have come to Chanara for the last few months for waxing. She is quick and as painless as can be. She takes smaller strips which makes the pain less. She also uses a new stick for each dip in the wax for cleanliness.
She is also a sweet and funny gal that makes the time fly. I genuinely like to see her.
Prices are also reasonable. Booking is easy.

She is the best! Always shapes my eyebrows perfectly and super clean work space. Also very friendly and professional. I have never gotten a Brazilian but since she is so awesome I might just be brave and do it.

Firstly, if you’re worried about the pain aspect of waxing (BECAUSE OMG WHO LIKES WAXING), Chanara seems to have a magic touch. Least painful bikini wax of my life. I had a «deep bikini» wax with her a few days before my wedding/​honeymoon, and my other half was very happy with his wax as well. We will definitely be back to see Chanara :)

Chanara is AMAZBALLS!!! She is so nice and makes the experience the best. She talks to you to make sure you are comfortable with the whole process. She is the sweetest person ever! So glad I found her!

Incredible experience at a cute, quaint, classy salon in the heart of Old Irving Park! I know for a fact that I can’t ever go to another place because Chanara was uhhhh-​maaaazing!!! I’m definitely coming back!
I am super happy with the results, love love loved Chanara and her beautiful soul, and didn’t even feel the pain because we were talking and laughing the whole time. She is extremely thorough, attentive to details, clean, efficient, and her service is priced at a super reasonable rate — you simply can’t beat that! (AND she’s hilarious!!) It’s people and businesses like hers that make the local community thrive. I am so glad I found her and would recommend anyone to get waxed at Signature Free.

Chanara is amazing! Not only is she great at what she does, but she is one of the sweetest and most caring lady’s I have ever met. She really cares about her clients needs and wants, and has reasonable prices too! I’ve referred many friends to her (who have all had a flawless experience) and will continue to do so. Can’t wait to check out her new storefront!
Schedule an appointment! You won’t regret it (:

Amazing service as soon as you walk in. First time client and I felt as if I wasn’t a stranger. Clean location and the bed/​table you lay on is cleaned in between clients. I definitely recommend visiting her for any of your waxing needs. Currently it’s only by appointment which was a downer for me at first BUT after my visit she’s worth the wait! I do have to say that I called and was able to get in the same day so it was not that bad for an appointment. Not a dull second as you get waxed conversations are exactly what we all need, great topic with humor. I feel lucky having found her

Can’t wait to see Chanara in her new space. This will be the 4^th salon I have visited to see Chanara because she is worth it — even hunted her down to continue using her services last year.
So exciting to see her new venture take shape. Chanara is professional, courteous, gentle, kind and great at what she does — supporting a local, woman-​owned business venture is an added bonus!
I have super sensitive skin and Chanara understands my issues and personal needs. And we love to chat about our nails, our families, and life in general, just like any great friend! Amazed it took me this long to finally write a Unilocal review, but I have been a fan since my first visit.

She’s the best, simple as that! I recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful looking, near painless waxing, and great conversation! So good that I don’t even need to look at my brows when she’s done, the trust is just there!

I can’t imagine going anywhere else !!! Best service in town! Chanara truly is awesome ! Exceeded my expectations second time around ! Attentive to my needs and my comfort. A plus will keep on coming and if you’re looking for the best search no more, she is the one!

COME HERE IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A GREAT WAXING EXPERIENCE
I have been waxed — correction, i tried to get waxed in the past but the experience was horrible! I decided to come to Chanara because of the excellent Unilocal reviews! The anticipation before getting there was the worse! I honestly thought that i was going to chicken out but i stayed. Everybody knows that waxing is not a pleasant experience and that it hurts. Chanara made this experience wonderful and very pleasant. She was talking to me while i was getting my Brazilian and after 5 minutes i felt like we were best friends. Chanara is a professional with an amazing personality!
My Brazilian took about 30 — 40 minutes and i was VERY VERY VERY pleased. Chanara has definitely changed my views on waxing and honestly i can not wait to go back! Waxing at her studio was the best thing i have done in a long time.

I really enjoyed her work! She was very personable and cheerful, and the brazilian itself was little to almost no pain. I also got the impression that she knows her craft and really took the time out to come up with the best methods of waxing (especially sensitive places). I’d definitely go back and would certainly recommend her services.

Chanara is the best! She’s beyond friendly and made my first experience pleasantly comfortable. I will most certainly be going back. Great conversation and customer service! Very professional. She takes her time and makes it perfect, tweezers and all! :-) I highly recommend Chanara for any waxing services!!!

Chanara is the best! I kid you not! Her technique is unmatched. Yes waxing is painful but Chanara knows how to make a pain go from 10 to 1 really quickly! She can talk about anything under the sun she is like the bestie you go shopping with and having a good conversation is key to helping to calm you down during waxing.
Ok so now to the nitty gritty:
–She uses oil instead of powder to prep the skin, it helps reduce irritation
–She is highly sanitary and does not double dip unless that whole waxing can is going on you for me I had a lot of services (full brazilian with buttocks, full legs, full arms, underarms, stomach) she is also very thorough and will ask before she tweezes if needed.
–Her prices are quite affordable check it out on style seat if you can!
–She checked with me during the service to see if I was ok and how I was holding up, and her technique was as gentle as a wax could be I felt like she was excellent in putting herself in my shoes.
All I can say is experience her for yourself please! I assure you these reviews are not misleading.
I look forward to making my next appt with her and you should try her out!

Chanara is fabs! She is just so matter of fact and sweet and genuine! I have been searching for a great place for waxing and this is definitely it. Soon we were chatting like old friends even though we had just met and I’m often reticent.
The location itself is kind of a funny little place– she just rents a room– although conveniently located, but once you get over that you’re in for a treat. She is just so meticulous and clean and very reasonably priced for the quality of the service. Plus she has lots of different deals and promotions which you hardly ever see.
Check her out!

This is an update!!! I still give 5 stars! I drove in from Detroit to see Chanara! I love her! She has moved into a bigger location and the place is gorgeous even though she states they are still «working on things». I received a full face hair removal and keep looking at my face like I’ve never had it done and my skin feels so smooth. She also sells her own essential oil good for men and women for skin irritation and ingrown hair. Keep doing your thing and never change! I can’t wait to see more big things from you! …
I feel like Chanara is my new bff! She is great I have had awful waxing experiences and now I know all hair removal does not have to be painful or take off a layer of my skin. She may have even convinced me to do «down there» my next visit!
She did smaller sections so you aren’t overwhelmed with pain. And she got every hair the bare eye could see.
She has such a gentle and kindred spirit I felt like I had been coming to her for years! I plan on moving back to Michigan soon but I will be making trips back for her. She has a new client for sure!
