Lilian Salon And Spa

Recently bought a tanning package since I’m leaving for vacation in a couple weeks, it’s a cute salon! & its awesome I can walk here from my apartment :) I haven’t tried any of there other services yet but the tanning bed they have is decent and comparable to a level two lay down at LA tan.

I’ve been coming here for years for a wide range of services — nails, hair, waxing, etc. I am very picky and I absolutely love this place. Very clean and professional. It’s quite a bit of a trip for me coming from the South Loop but I still make it out there because nobody has ever done my eyebrows this wonderful. Love it!

I was really excited to try this place for mani/​pedis since I live right around the corner. I checked on Unilocal and saw that thy were open, did mani pedis, and walk in were welcomed. When I walked in there was one lady getting her hair done by one employee. The rest of the place was vacant. A second employee came up and was not pleasant at all. I said hi, cheerfully and asked for a mani pedi. «NO» was the only word out of her mouth. I repeated, «No?» and I see a very clearly empty salon. She repeated no at me again and said no time. It wold have been one thing if they said no they were booked with future appointments, or they were short staffed it wouldn’t have been an issue. For how rudely I was spoken to I will never attempt to go back and will not recommend this place. When I left I walked to the Aveda salon one block over where I received Awesome customer service!

Lilian Salon & Spa is great. All I have ever done here is use the tanning bed, but I have literally NEVER had to wait in line. Staff is very friendly and helpful!

What a wonderful surprise. and only a few blocks from my home-​I have been looking for my new go to salon/​spa for… well. Everything* waxing/​hair color/cuts/facials/massage.who knew I would find all my beauty maintenance needs in one lovely spot* I am very pleased with my cut and color, and am looking forward-​tomorrow:) to my facial/​waxing and massage-​Tranquil environment knowledgeable operators/​owners very fair pricing. Yay!!!

I came in for a pedicure this weekend and was not disappointed. The Spa Pedicure was relatively inexpensive and I enjoyed every bit. It was one of the best pedicures I’ve ever had. I thought at first that it was a soakless pedicure because there were no tubs, but they brought out a large bowl for soaking. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was chatty and casual. I’ll be back.

I have been happily going to this beautiful salon for many years now. Angela, the co-​owner, has always been so welcoming and kind and I really like the way Svetlana does my highlights. I also love how quickly they are able to get me in for appointments. I was completely taken aback by Angela’s generosity and concern when I came in just days before my wedding with a huge pimple on my chin. It was a pimple that was deep under the skin and I made it ‘spread,’ by attempting to get rid of it myself. She immediately whisked me into the back to apply some electric current (it didn’t hurt by the way) to stop the pimple from being infected. I tried to pay her for her services, but she refused. Thanks to her, my pictures turned out beautifully. It was truly a miracle that my chin cleared up that quickly.
Previously I went to Angela for a facial and was very pleased with it as well. She is very meticulous and it was very relaxing. I also discovered that not all estheticians do microdermabrasion like Angela does. Thus, I will go to her the next time I go for a facial.
I also purchased a tanning package. It is so nice and relaxing.
In brief, this is a great local place that everyone should consider.

I signed up at Lillian Salon late winter for a small tanning package in preparation for spring as well as our upcoming trip to NOLA.
The first thing that weirded me out: the door is never not locked. I’ve had to ring the doorbell and wait… sometimes wondering if I should walk away… or…wait, is someone? no… okay…
The staff was always very very nice and attentive. There is only one tanning bed so sometimes I’d have to wait for someone else, but it was rare. I bought a small tanning package, 150 minutes for $ 40-​something. The best thing about tanning at a small salon like this– they let you tan as little or long as you want and don’t frown at you wanting to start out at 5 – 7 minutes, not the suggested 2 or 3 big named stupid tanning places start. And they never push products on you.
Very clean, very nice. Unlock the door and I’ll be in there all the time. I also stopped by a couple of times they were supposed to be open and they weren’t, but. I’ll go back next frigid dark season.

Where to start?!
I stumbled upon Lilian Spa 2 years ago. It’ owned by two fabulous women Lilly and Angela… Hence the aptly named– Lilian Spa.
I first visited Lilian for a much needed eyebrow fix. A girl at a Salon in Streeterville had totally screwed up my eyebrows and Lilian was the first spa I found in my neighborhood.
After Angela did my eyebrows– I was her’s for life. She spent a while meticulously working to make my brows not only even, but perfectly symmetrical.
I vowed to never let another woman touch my eyebrows…
That was until Angela went out of the country for a few weeks. I was once again in a bind, and decided to let Lily wax my brows.
I was absurdly nervous… and Now, I can’t decide who’s better!!! They are both fabulous and will not let you off the table until you are completely satisfied. It’s easy to get bullied around by people with hot wax, but Lily and Angela both encourage your feedback.
Now, I’ve referred 4 friends to Lilian Spa and have gotten great feedback. I have purchased a few spa manicures. AMAZING! But, this is mainly my eyebrow spot, though they have massage, hair, facials, tanning, etc. If you’re looking for a quick in-​and-​out experience this is not the place for you. Go to Lilian Spa if you have the time to let yourself unwind, slow down, and enjoy the beautification process…

I’ve had my eyebrows waxed here twice and am very pleased with how they came out. Both times I was able to get an appointment that same day! The women was very thorough, pointing out areas that I should focus on growing in between appointments in order to achieve an ideal shape.
Plus– the service is $ 14 plus tip and street parking is available.

This place is so close to home, parking is always available (you can park by the autoshop across the street), and the service is great. I consistently get my eyebrows done there, and they always look great. You get a downtown salon feel at a much lower expense. I definitely suggest coming here for eyebrow waxing, as well as nails. I have never gotten my hair done there, but many of my friends do an I have never heard any complaints.

This Salon is rare — quiet, sophisticated, clean and they take their time giving the best manicure I think I’ve ever gotten… don’t go if you are in a hurry and if you are letting your cell phone ring all the time — the best thing about this salon is the serenity. I really like this place!

I’ve been coming here for the last two years to get my waxing. I am picky since my sister is an esthatician but she lives in MN so I can’t always hold out for her to do it. They always get me in right away and do an awesome job. She always takes her time my brows and lip always look amazing. The real bonus…22 dollars for brows and lip. You can’t find that deal anywhere. I’m so lucky I have them right down the street from me.

This is around the corner from my house and hands down the best and most inexpensive salon I’ve been to! Lilly, Angela and all the other girls there make it great Spa experience. I’ve taken my parents, my sister and girlfriends here as well. The Pedi last over 4 weeks, I’m not kidding. The Manis, even with gardening and cleaning, last 2 weeks. Their facials, eyebrow shaping & tinting are all services I can recommend!

needed a haircut before vacation and didn’t want to spend a lot of money for a trim. Decided to hit up Lilian since I heard they were cheap and did a great job. I don’t think I have ever had such a quick and awesome cut! Sure I had to have one of the other ladies translate for me but I got exactly what I had wanted. You can’t beat $ 35 for a haircut in the city. Such a cute salon too and parking was easy.

I’ve been going to the same person to get my eyebrows done for the last 4 – 5 years and over the last weekend I was in a pinch because I couldn’t get in to see her and I had a date on Sunday. So I called up Lilian’s Salon because they just so happen to be a couple of blocks from my apartment.
They were so nice on the phone and were able to get me in right away which is a major plus. Once there I thought the salon was so cute! The staff was friendly when I walked in, I was taken to the back immediately and although I was a little scared during the process because it was a stranger working on my brows I am not disappointed. She did a magnificent job and I think I may be going to her more often. It’s cheaper ($ 14) and way closer to my apartment. I wish I had gotten the name of the technician who did my brows but I forgot.
I highly reccomend going here for an eyebrow waxing and I’m going to be visiting them in the future for other services. The prices on their services are too good to pass up!

I was really excited about going to this place; it is right around the corner from me and they had some decent coupons on their website. I also liked the idea of supporting local business. I made an appointment for Friday night at 6:00. On Friday morning when I went to print out the 15% off coupon from online it turned out that it was only good Tues-​Thurs until 3:00. I guess this is my fault but the restrictions of the coupon were not obvious on the website until you click the link to print it out. Maybe it is not exactly false advertising but I was disappointed. I called to explain my mistake and see if they would honor the coupon anyway– they did not.
I was looking forward to my appointment so much that I decided to go anyway– even though the coupon had been one of the things that sold me on this place. It was $ 45 for a manicure and pedicure ($ 15 for the manicure and $ 30 for the pedicure) I don’t get my nails done regularly but I though most places give a bit of a discount if you get the manicure/​pedicure service together.
The actual experience was very slow moving. My manicure and pedicure experience took about 1 ½ to 2 hours! It was not really due to attention to detail during my service as it was the manicurist taking her time and not working with any sense of urgency. I also got the impression she really did not want to be there. No one in the salon really spoke to me and I felt like quite the outcast because I do not speak Ukrainian. Overall I left the experience with painted nails and $ 45 (plus tip) less in my pocket. If I come back here it will only be because of its convenient location.

Great place. I have lived in every neighborhood in the city, had haircuts from $ 10 — $ 100. They were all sub par compared to Lillian. Best men’s haircuts in the city. $ 15 for a cut and shampoo! Where else can you do that? The girl who does mens hair is very shy and quiet, which i like because I have had too many hairstylist who feel compelled to tell you about their cats or cheating BF. Excellent service, very friendly.
p. s. you may need to tell Lillian how you want your hair and she will translate to the hairstylist.

When I have moved to Chicago I’ve been going to «Liliana Spa» salon ever since. Atmosphere at «Lilana Spa» is super friendly and their staff really cares. Plus it is conveniently located in the Ukrainian Village on Chicago Avenue. There is a lot of free parking around salon.
This spa and nail salon offers a full range of waxing, facials and nail services. There is also a tanning bed on site :)
What I like about them, that when it comes to nails Lilja and Rita know exactly what they are doing. To tell the truth, besides the excellent service they provide, I should admit that the products they use are of the best quality. The result for me was so obvious. After Lilja’s recommendation of the nail hardener and manicure, my nails became strong and healthy for the first time in my life!!! Once you visit this place you will be coming back again and again. I highly recommend it.

This is a wonderful little salon in the Ukrainian Village area. Lillian Spa always has the most perfect shade of essie and OPI nail polishes. After visiting numerous other salons in Chicago this one by far has the best services. I am now a loyal customer! They are friendly and through. The pedicures are heavenly and the manicures are just great! My pedicures seem to last forever.
When getting a manicure be sure to ask to have your rings cleaned, once they come out of the cleaner your diamonds just sparkle!
