Okay let me start by saying, as a person, I find Missy absolutely wonderful. She’s always been friendly and dynamic. Initially I went in for a Brazilian wax because of a groupon. I was so impressed with the service that I bought a package (her package prices really cannot be beat!)
Now that I’ve purchased 3 packages and have been a client of hers for over a year, I must say the service seems to progressively gotten worse. The last three times I went there, it felt very rushed even though I have been on time and no other clients were waiting. I’ve had to pluck full patches of stray hair (OUCH!). It seems like she’s trying to take off way too big patches of hair at once which is not only extremely painful, but it also leaves behind hair and wax. I was willing to keep with her and continue using her services seeing if things would improve, just because Missy really is so sweet and really seems to care about her clients. But this last visit sort of put the nail in the coffin for me. I’ve had a landing strip for the past four months and it seems like she forgot and just slathered the wax right on it. I tried telling her but it was already too late. She tried fixing it but it ended up too thin, off center, and crooked, so i just shaved the whole thing off after over a year of healthy skin down there from no shaving :-(.
I tip every time (20% of her full price) so I really have no idea why things have gotten worse over time. I feel as though repeat clients should be getting the best service, not the old bait and switch. I think I still have 1 or 2 sessions left on my package, but after this last visit I don’t think i’ll be returning to Ms Verve to redeem those.

I had an extremely positive experience with Missy. She does her very best to make you comfortable while also talking to you the whole time to keep you distracted from the pain. I echo so many of the positive sentiments, as I also had a great experience.
I came in because of a groupon and needed a wax before going on vacation. Sometimes companies/​vendors make a fuss about accepting groupons but she made it so simple (as it should be!). I will return for all future waxes. Highly highly recommended!

My first time getting and Brazilian Wax and meeting Ms. Verve… AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!! She was so sweet, she talked to me through-​out the whole process to comfort me. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, private and relaxing experience. I felt so comfortable with her!!! I told her I’m her new client and will be going back every 4 weeks. I have my next 3 months booked for Brazilian and Underarm Wax. I’m her client for-​life now!!!

I just had my first waxing experience with Missy today and it was superb! Thanks to all the other Unilocal reviews for helping me find her (and steer away from other choices). In the past I’d always gone to Sisters, which is a fantastic place. However, the location is really not that convenient for me, so I figured I’d give Ms Verve a try. No disrespect to Sisters (like I said they’re great), but now that I’ve tried Missy, I’ll never go back. This was easily the most painless wax I’ve ever had (don’t get me wrong — no wax is painless, but this was a breeze compared to most). She used a blend of different natural waxes and oils to sooth, and so far I’m having no irritation, which is just shy of a miracle for me! She’s also extremely warm and friendly, and makes you feel totally comfortable with the process. I was expecting to pay a pretty penny for her service (and it would have been worth it), but then found out she has some amazing deals that brought the price down quite a bit. Not only was it the best wax I’ve had, it was also the least expensive!

A friend of mine recommended this place and I’m so glad she did. Not only did it come highly recommended but I also had a Groupon. WINNING!!! I’ve become a fan of Brazilian wax and Missy did an awesome job. Although I got there 15 min late she was still very accommodating and was able to get me done in 10 min. And she did a great and painless job. I was a little nervous at first but she made me feel really relaxed. So… u may ask why 4 stars. Well my only concern is that the Brazilian does not include waxing my stomach. Not sure why I would wax all that area and not get my stomach done… which will show hair when wearing a bikini. Shouldn’t that be part of the wax. IJS! But I will be back cause she super nice. I just hate paying extra to get my stomach waxed. Oh well.

Great wax and deal. Getting a brazilian is never a comfortable situation, but Ms Verve takes your mind off it by asking questions and being funny. Really love this place!

Missy is fantastic! She is very skilled at both her art and customer service. Her internal special is also a steal!

All around fantastic. Convenient location just one block off of Michigan, clean boutique location, outstanding customer service, and, best of all, fast and relatively painless. Loved my first time so much, I purchased a package — one of the best deals I’ve ever seen in Chicago!

Ms. Missy is awesome! I just started getting Brazilian waxes this year and Ms. Missy has been a great and professional guide. She is very attentive, knows how to put you at ease, and never fails to address any issues you may have (such as cleaning up/​getting missed spots/​hairs) without offense or attitude. At my first visit I thought it was weird that she kept talking to me throughout the entire thing, but she knows what she is doing and knows exactly how to keep your mind occupied while your «area down below» is going through pain. But, I have to say the experience with her is much less painful than I anticipated and I am getting used to this regimen more and more after each visit. I actually enjoy our conversations. Ms. Missy is sweet, patient, and super funny and I always leave satisfied and feel taken care of. A great person and a great place! I wholeheartedly recommend her!

Today was my second out of a five pack I purchased directly through Missy. My first braz was in December with her, a little skeptical of having one done, but it turned out better than expected. First and foremost, she has a spot on balance of personal and professional. She can hold a conversation while she’s taken care of business– which keeps your mind off whats really going on. Second of all, her space is easy to get to, cute, and convenient. Lastly, her work is great and it lasted just about as long as I hoped it would. Oh! And very affordable compared to other downtown businesses. Highly recommend Missy.

She is really professional. She knows what she is doing. And she puts her heart into what she is doing. Therefore I had a good experience.
I just had brazillian waxing today and It was painless. I am glad I found her on groupon.

Missy was very professional and made sure I was as comfortable as possible with my lady parts in a strangers face. She was quick and knowledgeable about the steps I should take to keep ingrown hair away.

My friend suggested this place to me. She knew i was looking to find a good waxer and raved about Ms. Missy and the business, so I went for it. I have never had a Brazilian and was pretty unsure of what to expect. The office itself is small (in the words of my friend «you dont need a lot of space for whats about to go down»), but has a very relaxing feel to it. Ms. Missy was very kind, explanatory, and dealt with my lack of pain tolerance! I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. It definitely hurt my first time around (not because of her, but because of the obvious waxing part), but I went back for my second yesterday and it was WORLDS better. I was in and out in literally less than 10 minutes. Scheduling is crazy easy online, and the location is conveniently located near several CTA lines. Very affordable, very professional and clean, and Ms. Missy is very, very sweet and (most importantly when it comes to waxing your lady parts) works quickly! I will definitely be going back for the foreseeable future :)

Had a brazillian here this morning, and it was hands down the fastest, least painful wax I have ever gotten! Missy is very sweet, chatty, and knows what she is doing! Super affordable, clean, and professional! This is where you should take your bikini region for some TLC!

I had my first Brazilian wax today, it was needless to say nerve wrecking. However, despite from the last minute booking, Missy was inviting, soothing and professional. It was shorter and less painful than I expected. I couldn’t ask more for my awesome first experience, I will definetely be coming back after my travels! Thanks, Missy!

At 3.30 today, I had my appointment with Ms. Missy. I was a little scared because it was my first wax of any sort. I arrived about 20 minutes early, which wasn’t a problem at all. Ms. Missy sat me down, we chatted a bit and I filled out the form that she needed. So far, I was beginning the experience was not what I expected! I expected to be waiting in a room with other customers and for her to be rushed.
After about 15 minutes of talking, we proceeded into the room, which was right off of the main area. It was a smaller, more intimate room that was nicely decorated with supportive words on the lights!
Ms. Missy talked to me the entire time, easing all my worries. She was so sweet and sincere. She genuinely wants to have a relationship with her clients and get to know you!
I will be coming back again and again.

I normally only get Brazilians for special occasions, but my groupon is about to expire and Memorial Day is around the corner so I figured why not. I had an appointment scheduled for 6:00 with Ms Missy. I was on time and so was she.
The spot itself is very small and appears to have 2 rooms and a very small waiting area. That doesn’t bother me since I just want to get in and get out.
I’m not going to lie Brazilians are painful, but Ms Missy is so sweet and does everything possible to make you comfortable and alleviate the pain. She did go over a couple spots more than once, but it’s just because she seems like a perfectionist and wants to do good work. I was very satisfied with the results and will go back… eventually. Ha can’t take this pain all the time. Also as a side note I like the signs on the ceiling RELAX and BREATHE

Ok I really do not know why Ms. Missy has such terrible reviews! I love her and her quality of work! I honestly would never go anywhere else!
I bought 2 deals on YOUSWOOP and good thing I did! I went to here the first time and I was so nervous but she made me feel so welcome. I thought it was gonna be the most awkward thing in the world, but because how friendly and hospitable Ms. Missy is, conversations flowed and she was done before I even knew it.
I have the most sensitive skin in the world! I will break out if I go to a swimming pool, bug bites would get huge and red and blister, some lotions and skin care products will either make me break out or make my skin rip apart. If my super hyper sensitive skin didn’t have ANY issues with the waxing, I don’t know how other people did.
She’s never had to go over the same place more than twice and that’s only happened once, so I mean I don’t think you can blame her for your stubborn hairs. Let’s face everyone’s bodies are and react in different ways so I don’t think it’s really Ms. Missy’s fault.
She even accepted my second voucher that was expired by 5 months! She truly is the best and I would definitely recommend her to everyone!

I went here for a Brazilian wax. This is my second wax. I really love Ms. Missy. She was so nice and professional. 5 stars for her! She made sure I was comfortable and gave me a mirror to make sure she got everything.
My 2 star review is for how my skin reacted the next day. My skin was very tender and there were little red bumps around the area that looked like my skin was breaking out. I did not have this reaction when I went to Mario Tricoci’s for my first wax. I’m pretty sure it’s the wax. I don’t know if I can take the chance and come back again because of how my skin reacted :-(

The worst brazilian I have ever had. I was about 10 minutes late (whoops). Apparently she charges $ 10 when you’re late by 10 minutes or more – doesn’t post this anywhere. Because I was late, her next appointment arrived before I was done (again, my fault). While my vag was still covered in hot wax, she opened the door, and left the room to talk to her next client – not once, but twice (also, the client could not have been more than 5 feet from the door of the room I was in, AWKWARD). She was gone so long that the wax cooled. She then could NOT wax that area. She went over it and over it about 20 times. It was insanely painful. She went over most other areas more than once. It took forever and was the most painful brazilian ever. It hurt and itched for days afterward. She got ALL up in my business – much more so than any other waxer I’ve been to – which was a bit uncomfortable, and seemed unnecessary, but I would have been fine with it if she had been wearing gloves (seriously? disgusting).
Absolutely do not go. I got a deal online, and it was sososo not worth it.
