Dilshad’s Hair Designs

So happy I found this place! I got my eyebrows threaded by Sarah (I think that’s her name) and I absolutely love it! She took her time on each eyebrow and even asked how I like it. I was in there for a little under ten minutes (according to my parking meter). I’ve been to a couple places that rush through it taking only 3 minutes to do both eyebrows and charge $ 10. This place only charges $ 5! I’m definitely going back!

I’ve been going here for almost 6 – 7 years now. They are the best with hair and eyebrows! And it’s so cheap!

This place needs to go out of business! the girls that work here are stuck up, snobby and just RUDE!!! My experience here was horrible– two girls greeted my mom and I slouched in chairs with their legs kicked up on the counter with both their cell phones in their hands. One looked up while the other continued to FB on her phone? We didn’t stay long bc when we asked if someone could do our eyebrows she said there is a wait for 15 mins, however, NO ONE was in the store!!! We ended up leaving and went two store down to the other salon and they were sooo professional! DILSHADS IS THE WORST PLACE YOU CAN GO TO!!!

Great eyebrow threading. Professional and cheap.

Last few times I came by, i feel like their quality wasn’t upto the standards when I first came here. I got my eyebrows threaded, and they messed up the shape. When I went to another place 2 weeks later the lady there asked me if I had done it myself! lol. There is a reason why i dont shapy them myself but i think even I could have done a better job.

I went here by recommendation of a friend and became a fan!
Nina was very efficient and friendly and did a great job threading and waxing. It is not the fanciest place– but the price is great. I highly recommend this place and look forward to becoming a regular.

I REALLY needed my eyebrows done, it was a Sunday so I went about 15 min out of my way. They’re fast but, I’ve had better experiences. I had cuts in the end, which I only do threading now and my regular person does not leave cuts on my eyebrows.
Won’t be coming here again. Other places in this area are open if desperate times call for emergencies.

I’ve been coming to Dilshad’s for a while now, since I was younger. The girls change pretty often but all are really nice. Some do a better job than others. For example my last time in there I got a few different parts waxed and the girl wasn’t blowing on the wax before she put it on… she would apply it then immediately blow on it which meant that my skin burned for a few moments while she applied. Not much fun. But other than that I’ve always had a thorough job there. The rooms are unfortunately a bit tired – they could use some spicing up and they’re kind of small, but oh well. The prices are right!

I’m the first to admit that there are a lot of things I don’t understand. I don’t know how to pair wine with food, how to mash potatoes the correct way or how to wear the right top with high waisted pants.
But I know what good eyebrows should look like. They should look like they do when Nikat @ Dilshad’s threads them. I was slightly worried when she began to thread away without saying anything. But she was just getting rid of all the excess before asking me how I wanted them shaped. And she shaped them perfectly!
My husband was getting some ice cream down the street & I was out before he could even order! $ 10 plus tip for well-​shaped eyebrows & a smooth upper lip? SOLD!

I have never waxed my eyebrows of course i plucked and discovered threading. I first came here when i was 16 years old and in High School! I continued to come for a cpl of years after that. Every time you came here there was a different lady threading so i was never picky who i got. One day I got a HORRIBLE eyebrow job done and i didnt come back here for for over 8years. fast forward 2010– MY friend elisa wanted her eyebrows done and I took her to my spot. Her eyebrows looked good but not neat. So I see her a few weeks later and her eyebrows look AWESOME she said she went BACK to dilshads. After so many years why not give them another shot. BEST EYEBROWS EVER! I cant believe i stayed away so long, now i will never go anywhere else again! The girls are nice and you cant beat $ 6!

When I lived on the southside… and I mean far southside I traveled to go here. I now live in Humboldt Park and I’m still willing to travel. I get my brows done when I’m in that area shopping. I definitely get threading every time and they do a pretty decent job. Thanks to genetics, I’m a pretty hairy girl so I get my entire face done from time to time. I recommend threading for the brows, and wax for everything else… but that’s just me.

I’d consider giving it more stars for the fact that its darn cheap when it comes to threading your eyebrows.
But wham-bam-thank-you-ma’m? No lotions or potions for poor red eyebrows? No massage around the eyes that can hardly open? Ah, in that case, no thank you.
Plus, beware of their ‘Let me thread/​wax your whole face’ pitch. Heard stories from my friends, and they don’t sound pretty!

$ 6 for well-​shaped, threaded eyebrows in 2 minutes? I think yes.
It’s cash-​only, sometimes they forget to cool down the wax (if you take that route), and on one or two occasions I’ve had uneven brows but never walk out looking shabby or more than $ 6 poorer.

This was the first place I went to for my threading. It was fine, no nonsense but after I found Bibya I never went back.

Not bad. Not great. I’ve left with uneven eyebrows but they’re always nicely shaped.

No frills but definately the best eyebrow threading I’ve ever gotten. And it’s only $ 6 for eyebrow threading.
I discovered this place almost two years ago when I had a client out in the suburbs. I’ve tried a couple of places on Devon but this place is absolutely the best. I don’t make the trip enough because of the distance.
Every time I’ve been here, they’re always trying to thread/​wax my entire face so be prepared to say no or pay $ 30. I’m not a hairy person so I personally don’t need it but if you are, you can’t beat $ 30 especially at a downtown salon/​spa.
fyi: some of the stores offer eyebrow threading for $ 5 but for a $ 1 more, this place is definately worth it.
Wishful thinking: I wish I could pay someone from this place to drive to the city — I’d be happy to gather a bunch of girls so the drive would be worth it!
(1) CASH only
(2) you can usually find street parking but make sure to bring quarters

I’ll be honest and tell you that this will be a mixed review.
So to clarify:
1. I suggest Dilshad’s Hair Designs for any hair removal needs
2. Bit of a commute (I live in Humboldt Park) but worth it not only for
Dilshad’s, but the entireity of the 2300 – 2900 block of Devon street
3. I suggest hot wax, but in small doses
Now the review:
Sooo…I went up to Devon street today to get a cheap and quick threading, but then things got kinda crazy and I ended up getting pretty much my whole face hot-​waxed.
ouch.
and weird!
I used to have hair on the side of my face… they were called side burns. Lady burns. Whatever. They weren’t a problem. However, my stylist thought that they needed to go, so away they went. I thought she meant the little peach fuzz I had beneath the burns.
It was an interesting and face-​numbing experience, and I’ll probably go back again if I’m ever in the area in need of some beautification. Just not for the full facial wax that ended up costing me thirty dollars opposed to the six dollars I had intended to pay.
Bottom line though — satisfactory threading job.
Here’s to the ladies at Dilshad’s Hair Design and the things women put themselves through to maintain their looks — PAIN.

I can’t compare threading, because I had my first one here, but I really like it, it’s less painful and more effective than waxing. I think they do the line a bit too thin, but that’s idiosyncratic.
I go there especially for their cheap and pretty decent waxing. I did underarm, bikini and lip. I was appalled by the prices for a bikini waxing anywhere else. Here prices are really affordable. Hygiene might be an issue for some American customers. It’s not really dirty, but it’s definitely not like a Spa. On the other hand, if I have to pay 30 or 40 extra bucks just for a septic environment and new-​age music, I go for no music and a towel (it can be changed on request!). They’re also very quick and pretty friendly.

FINALLY.
A real threading salon in Chicago. I moved here from New York about two months ago, and it’s hard to find a place that doesn’t do threading in NYC.
My previous experiences were total hack jobs, so when I finally broke down and made the journey up to Devon, past the sari shops and ethnic groceriesI felt like I’d made it to heaven.
The storefront and interior were unassuming at best, but the straightforward, no-​nonsense service I got was all I needed.
Another glorious quality to set Dilshad’s apart was the understanding that yes, having your customer hold the skin taut so the thread doesn’t snag isn’t just OK. It’s the right way to do things.
Great, clean lines, nice women and an off-​the-​beaten-​path thrill going there. I’ll be back – tomorrow.

The previous reviewers were right… this place is awesome! I would suggest that you get the full face threading/​waxing for $ 15. They can also do the downy hairs surrounding your face, bordering your hair line. You’d be surprised by how much it opens your face up when you have your side burns and forehead lines cleaned up!
