Mariya’s Salon

I’ve been going to this place for years and have recommended several customers here. The owner does a great job and very friendly which is the only reason I will be giving this place more than one star. Unfortunately, she only works mornings and I have to go after 5pm due to my work hours and living too far of a drive on weekends (it’s close to my work). There’s a new lady who I’ve gone to twice. I don’t know her name but she has the station facing east and wears the glove (just one!) that comes with curling wands (why?!).
First time she did them she thinned my brows out way too much and they were uneven in thickness (right thicker than left). Grew them out for a couple weeks and came back. It’s just her again. She totally messed up my entire left brow. It’s thin. It’s uneven. The front is totally jacked. When I freaked out after seeing it she tried saying that «it’s always been like that.» Excuse me?! I look at my face multiple times a day every day never in my life has my eyebrow looked like this. Take responsibility for your incompetent work. So infuriating.
My eyebrows are honestly one of my favorite features and she totally ruined them. I left in tears and now have to add an extra 10 minutes to my beauty routine just to even them out while they grow back for the next several months. Sad to say I will never be returning after this.

Been going to Maria’s for the last years. She works wonders with my barely there eyebrows! Cash only. Very nice people.
Thank you, Maria!

Saw the reviews and decided to try this place out because I desperately needed to get my eyebrows done. SERIOUSLY the worst eyebrow threading I’ve ever had. I don’t know what everyone is talking about here but they jacked up my eyebrows. No thanks to Maria’s.even if it’s just five bucks

First of all, this place is called Mariya’s. Whoever created this page mispelled the name.
Two workers here, the owner Mariya and a younger lady. Younger lady works the latter shift and Mariya leaves around 4pm.
$ 5 threading
$ 7 eyebrow waxing
$ 12 manicure
$ 25 facial with head and shoulder massage for 30 min
$ 12 per 10 min of head and shoulder massage
They accept cash and check only. Make sure to write check to Mariya’s.
The low down. I didnt know waxing and threading have different price. Next time i am getting the threading, honestly where can you find another place that threads for $ 5 in 2015? I had my brows waxed and they look decent, not wow i am soo happy but it is definitely better than how they looked before i walked in. They are now more defined.
The mani… uhh for $ 12 i went for it. But the worst part is you have about 10 nail polish colors to choose from. The nail polish are not OPI. All nail salons i’ve been to use OPI. This is something called color connection. They got 2 shades of red, a couple pink, a couple silver and beige and clear and maybe a bottle of blue and orange. Nothing fancy about it, does not have a UV lamp to dry ofd the nail. Very simple and basic, no warm towel.
The owner is decently friendly. I will be back, basically for the threading. Conveniently located right off highway 94 exit 37 A dempster street

You can’t beat $ 5 for eyebrow threading. In and out in 10 minutes.

Never had a bad threading here, can’t beat the prices.

I have nothing but good things to say about Maria’s. When I first came to Maria, about 8 years ago, my eyebrows needed some major damage control. She recommended I grow them out fully, which any girl would know is complete torture. But I am so glad I did because ever since the first time she shaped by eyebrows, I get nothing but compliments! I’ve never had to reshape or re-​grow them since 8 years ago. Best thing is, it’s only $ 5! I recommend threading, it’s more precise and shaping is easier.
Definitely worth the trip to ol’ Morton Grove, Maria is the person to go to!

Very close by to my house, and right off the I-​94 highway, so easily accessible.
Free parking in the back, and you can enter through there to. I’ve never had to wait to get my eyebrows threaded there. There’s only 2 workers (sometimes just 1), but they are very fast, efficient and accurate when threading my eyebrows.
They take CASH ONLY, but for $ 5, you can’t beat their service and their precision. I always come back to Maria’s, especially since I usually get mine done when I’m in the middle of running other errands in the area.

First time coming here (May 13) I was helped by a lady named Seelas (sp?). The time it took for her to wash up was as long as the actual eyebrow threading. She was quick, precise and my brows turned out exactly how I asked– not thinned, just cleaned up.
Wish they offered eyebrow tinting and it’s cash only. Easy parking, $ 5 for eyebrow threading — my new go-​to place, when I’m in the suburbs.

3.5 stars.
For $ 5, this is probably the cheapest eyebrow threading I’ve seen in quite some time! There is no real neck rest, so be warned. She is fast and efficient and helped reshape my brows. She did miss a few spots so I plucked some more when I got back.
I’ve been to 4 other threading salons before and this is byfar, the fastest. It’s definitely less than 5 minutes, and I would say, even 3 minutes max at the most! I hope she considers offering a mirror for us to micro-​analyze next time. It would be better for ensuring customers come back!

This place is great! So convenient, right off the highway. The ladies who work there are sooo sweet! They are super fast, it is super cheap, AND they do an amazing job! I love it. I live in Chicago and literally go out of my way to go here.

I love this place for threading. Fast, cheap, clean and friendly! I would never try and go to anyone else! Just make sure you have cash on you. because they don’t accept anything else.

Maria’s is clean, fast, and cheap. $ 5 for my eyebrows and $ 5 for my upper lip. The ladies at Maria’s was quick and courteous. I’ve been to other threading salons and this one is legit.

Decided to stop by at her salon on a whim and oh boy I’m so glad I did. $ 5 for an eyebrow threading and she does a wonderful job. Eyebrow threading have always been painful for me but she manages to reduce that pain. I don’t know how she does it! I’m impressed.

I really enjoy the job Maria does at her shop. I have been going to her for a few years now. I’ve always been a freak about my eyebrows, and spent years getting them waxed every few weeks. Then I made the switch to threading and there’s no going back. I used to go to higher end salons and fork over 20 – 25 bucks plus tip. Then came the world of threading. A fraction of the cost, no more painful, and no skin irritation. Awesome. I make the trip to Morton Grove from the city just to come here. There are a few trade offs however, and although I for sure recommend Maria’s, this shop sort of exemplifies some them.
The shop is devoid of all ambiance. It’s kind of a dump inside, and nobody’s trying to change that much. But whatevs. I don’t think I would ever get a bikini wax here either. That seems a little beyond this places expertise although it’s certainly on their menu. Maria’s is a cash only joint so be prepared for that. One time she did greatly annoy me to the point where I considered not going back, even though I am completely a regular, because I was in a bind and out of cash and I wanted to pay two bucks in quarters. She won’t accept change, period. Which of course irked me since I have been going there for so long and am so loyal and it was just quarters, not like I was counting small change, and I wouldn’t have done it if I didn’t have to. And two bucks only at that. Money is money, right? Turning down my business that day because I wanted to give her eight coins (and was slightly embarrassed to do so) certainly caused for some harbored resentment from me. Nobody likes for their patronage to be turned away.
Also, in my experience you have to be very specific with Maria. She can seem kind of aloof when you’re explaining what you want done to your brows, but ignore it. She’s listening even if it doesn’t seem like it. I see her every few weeks, but I have to remind her every time what I want her to do to their shape. She won’t ask, so be your own advocate in this place and places like it. If you are, it will pay off. I love my eyebrows and at 8 bucks I can’t beat the price, and you probably can’t either!

So, I went back recently to get my brows threaded and lip waxed. I had read another reviewer’s post about Maria being the only one who can thread well, so I was a little nervous when I had a younger girl.
She did great however. I couldn’t tell the difference between her work and Maria’s. Actually, I broke out less after the waxing this time. I’ve only had good and great experiences here.

Love Maria’s. Very clean, friendly, and fast. She asks what you want and doesn’t thread too thin. The price for eyebrows is $ 5– probably the cheapest you will find on the north shore. Maria is cash only, and enough to cover a tip.

super cheap!!!
this is the first place i’ve ever had my brows threaded and i ONLY get mine threaded here.
i wish they had a place this cheap in downtown. so sad that i can’t find any.
i leave maria’s feeling like a million bucks after my services. :)

I have to come clean. I have been sneaking around for much too long. You may have even noticed my check– ins.
So here it is. I have been seeing another. Her name is Maria. I sometimes see her partner, Pinky.
They give me what I need at the same price. Sometimes a little more direction may be needed compared to your threadbare stylings.
But here is the skinny. The parking is in abundance. I do not have to pay the meter prices of the city. I do not wait more than 5 minutes to get my ‘facelift’ for 5 bucks.
$ 3 for upper lip threaded.
Other services offered-​check the prices. Closed on Sundays. Monday-​Saturday 10AM-​7Pm.
So there you go. Here is my Dear John letter. I love you Sophie, but I need to cut us off.

I like this place. I’ve been helped my Maria each time and I think she does a fabulous job. Sometimes it feels painfree and other times, not so much. I don’t know what causes this. But I usually get my eyebrows threaded and upper lip waxed. The price is right… $ 8 for both!
It doesn’t have he nicest décor, but I’m not going there for the spa experience. Great place and close to where I live! Bonus :) Make sure to carry cash… they don’t accept credit cards.
