MK Waxing and Skin Care

Mirka is simply the best. I’ve been a client of her’s for 10+ years. I’ve followed her through her various establishments and am so happy she has a studio to call her own. She gives the best waxes in the city and is very thorough, no matter the service. She is super accommodating and so incredibly genuine and sweet. I won’t go anywhere else for my brows or any other waxing service.

Mirka gives the best waxes I think I’ve had in Chicago. She’s very thorough, taking her time to make sure she gets every hair, while also being quite fast. I went to her for a full leg and brazilian once and she was honest and very concerned about the fact that she didn’t think my hair was long enough. I still wanted to do it and she was able to get most of it — and didn’t charge me the full price. I appreciated her honesty. In general, you can tell that she really cares about the client and wants to do a good job every time. She is very responsive and flexible when it comes to scheduling. Still, while her friendliness is nice it’s the great waxes and reasonable pricing that will keep me coming back!

I have been here several times and have always had a great experience. I was worried that after not being back for months it would be incredibly painful but should not have bothered worrying because Mirka is amazing at waxes. And she is always friendly and professional; she makes me feel completely comfortable.

Mirka is amazing. I started going to her a fee months ago and she has been helping me grow my eye brows back and help with my arch. From day one of meeting her she was so nice and sweet. She made you feel so comfortable and trusting.
She def. Is the best around the area… I love I can text her to schedule an appointment and she is so accommodating and understanding if you have to. cancel last min or running late *I hate doing that*
I’m so happy to have found her

I don’t go to anyone but Mirka for waxes! I live on the north side of Chicago (and don’t own a car) and make the trek to Wicker Park/​Bucktown for her services. She is friendly, efficient, and makes the experience as painless and I’ve ever experienced. She is worth every penny!!!

My second time getting my brows done with Mirka. I thought I simply needed a little quick clean up of stray hairs. I was so wrong. Mirka took her time working to achieve near perfection.

Perfect! I highly recommend this place. Clean, fast and great results. She met all my expectations and it was so comfortable.

I went to Mirka for a brow tint. She ended up waxing, dying and completely reshaping my brows and they turned out amazing! I’ve always known that eyebrows can have a really dramatic effect on a person’s face, but I had no idea how they could change my own. I am absolutely obsessed with how my new brows make me feel and look. I received so many compliments in person and in pictures I’ve posted online. I will be going back again and again for my brows.

Mirka is amazing, for me wax is all the time painful, but she is patience and she does a great job.

I came across Mirka’s while meeting someone at a different business located in the same building. I was back in the area and decided to stop in, Mirka was so accommodating, she was able to squeeze me in for a brow/​lip wax and my brows were perfect!
While doing my brows she commented on my skin and offered some suggestions on what I can do to improve my dry skin. My next visit will definitely include a facial!

Excellent brazilian waxing service. Mirka is very pleasant and although the location is sketchy, her space is warm and inviting and filled with beautiful, positive energy. I will be returning for future services.

Mirka is amazing. From her sweet little spot on Damen in the heart of Wicker Park, to her beautiful personality, you instantly feel completely at ease in having her wax your privates! I had never done this before and was a bit nervous but she took care of everything and I never felt uncomfortable. I am so happy with my results. She explains everything and even shaped my eyebrows just to show me how! Love her! She’s got a customer for as long as she’s in business. Waxing, facials, etc.
Cash only.

Went to Mirka for the first time yesterday and was very happy with the results. The last person I went to for my eyebrows really messed them up but Mirka took her time fixing them and making them look great again. She is very meticulous and pays close attention to details. I think it took her 25 minutes to do my eyebrows compared to the usual 5 – 10 minutes it takes at other places, but it was well worth it. She is very nice and makes sure you know what she’s doing every step of the way so that she doesn’t do anything you won’t like. I will definitely be going back to her and only her from now on.
Also, I had friends waiting for me in the hallway and she gave them cups and some wine to have while they waited.
CASH ONLY!!!

She was great! I have NOTHING bad to say :) Everything was great. She was fast, made you feel comfortable, and did a great job.
Will be back :)

Awesome! So incredibly fast! Highly recommend! Plus, she was so nice! And when a particular area was a little more painful she took smaller strips and worked extremely fast!

Amazing Brazilian waxes! Efficient and professional. I actually showed up once about 25 mins late (terrible traffic) and Mirka was gracious enough to still perform a complete wax. Mad props!

To cross something simple off my bucket list, I decided to get a Brazilian. Since it was my first time, I was more nervous than going to a doctor or even a dental appointment. However, Mirka was very friendly and I felt pretty relaxed right away. I’ll cut this short and say she was FAST! For me, it took less than 10 minutes. She even had time to tweeze some strays. However, I will take away a star for 2 reasons: a. she uses only soft wax which makes it more painful because it is a sensitive area and b. I felt sticky the entire way home.
I had two girlfriends with me who also had their first time. They actually complained about the pain even more because their top layer of skin came off with the soft wax. Hard wax only grabs hairs. I will say, though, that even with a YouSwoop for $ 20, she did an excellent job and was very quick and thorough!
P. S. If you go for your first time, make sure you trim down (the longer the hair, the more it hurts) and wear cotton panties!

Don’t be turned off by the shady exterior or one-​room operation she’s got going on. You’re not going to get a dim lit room with scented candles and other zen-​esque qualities, but Mirka is SO fast and tries to engage you in conversion to take your mind away from the pain that comes with vanity. I’d highly recommend her!

One word — perfection! I would never ever trust anyone else to do wax but Mirka!

Waxing is normally a painful and uncomfortable event of life. Especially if your getting it in between the waist and the thighs. Mirka is fast and almost painless. I would highly recommend her for your waxing needs, especially in the sun don’t shine area.
