Expert Waxing in Chicago: Brazilian, Bikini, and Brow Shaping Services

Our highly trained estheticians, premium products, and welcoming atmosphere set us apart. We specialize in everything from body waxing, brow mapping and more— thereby ensuring a comfortable and professional experience.

For the best waxing experience, ensure your hair is at least ¼ inch long (about the size of a grain of rice). Exfoliate the area gently 24-48 hours before your appointment and avoid using lotions or oils on the day of your service. If you’re nervous about pain, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever about 30 minutes before your visit. At 1845 Esthetics, we strive to make your waxing experience as comfortable as possible.

At 1845 Esthetics, we proudly serve clients from various neighborhoods on Chicago's northwest side, including Edison Park, Norwood Park, Niles, and beyond. Our convenient location makes us the go-to destination for those seeking professional waxing, brow services and more in the area!

YES! There’s nothing to be embarrassed about when it comes to waxing on your cycle. We ask that you wear a clean tampon or menstrual cup to your appointment.

Waxing is a great alternative to shaving while pregnant. It should be started early on in the pregnancy and repeated every 4 weeks until the end. After your pregnancy, you may find that you're hooked on waxing! Hormonal changes tend to make you hyper-sensitive, so it's best to not let the hair get too long in between waxes to minimize discomfort. Starting early on in your pregnancy will get you used to the process and make it easier for you in later months. You may also find that you have less discomfort and ingrown hairs if you wax, as opposed to shaving. The wax used at 1845 Esthetics is gentle and suitable for pregnant women.

We recommend allowing your hair to grow out for 4 weeks without shaving, trimming, or tweezing in between waxing appointments. This will help ensure the best results from waxing, as each session will be more effective than the last and less painful due to thinner and finer hairs over time. Waxing is an investment and a lifestyle!

Hair typically takes 3-4 weeks to grow back after a Brazilian wax, though this varies based on individual hair growth cycles. The goal of regular waxing is slower and finer regrowth over time.

At 1845 Esthetics, we offer soft wax, hard wax, and sugaring for Brazilian and bikini waxing. Each method has unique benefits, and the best choice depends on your personal preference and skin type. Soft wax is ideal for quickly removing fine or coarse hair, leaving the skin feeling smooth, while hard wax is gentle on sensitive skin and great for removing shorter hairs. Our skilled estheticians will help you choose the option that works best for you to ensure a comfortable and effective waxing experience.

The cost of our Brazilian and bikini waxing services reflects the expertise, advanced training, and dedication of our highly skilled estheticians. At 1845 Esthetics, we use premium products and techniques to ensure the best results in a clean, professional environment.

After your wax, avoid hot showers, saunas, tight clothing, and intense exercise for 24-48 hours to prevent irritation. At your appointment, we’ll provide personalized aftercare instructions and tips to keep your skin smooth and irritation-free. To ensure the best results and prevent ingrown hairs, every first-time waxing client receives aftercare products to support your skin post-treatment.

Exfoliate gently starting 3 days after your appointment to prevent ingrown hairs, and keep the area hydrated with a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer. At 1845 Esthetics, we’ll guide you through the best aftercare practices to keep your skin smooth and irritation-free.
