Description

Specialties

Kristy is a Licensed Esthetician of 13 years who spent years at some of the top spas and waxing studios in Chicago. She’s finally off on her own and ready to give clients a «Detail Oriented» experience. She specializes in Waxing (Brazilians especially), Eyelash/​Eyebrow Tinting & Facials using Epicuren products. She also has extensive Make-​Up Artistry experience, having worked with brides, special events, and TV/​Film work. Kristy also became a Certified Eyelash Extensionist in April of 2013.

History

Established in 2013.

Kristy’s client once told her that if she ever opened her own business, she should call it Detail Oriented because of her outright need of perfection with every service she performs. Her client told her this as Kristy was making sure every single hair was removed, OCD style, during a wax. This got Kristy’s wheels turning… she was already working on clients privately for 2 years, so why wouldn’t she just go for it and put all her eggs in one basket once and for all?

This is a great spot and Marisa is awesome. I’ve always seen her for my waxing and I highly recommend her. Makes you feel comfortable and is great at distracting you from actual waxing going on. I feel it doesn’t hurt as much as other places I’ve gone to before too. Most recently, she is helping grow out and reshape my eyebrows which had been over plucked by someone else. They are looking better thanks to her.

The best waxing place in Chicago. After Kristine’s waxing closed this was the closest place to me and even though they moved the locating I go there to. Everything is always up the par, hygiene, atmosphere and Kristy always makes you feel comfortable.

Kristy is the absolute best! I’ve been coming to her for 2 and a ½ years since moving to Chicago and although I’ve moved out of the neighborhood, I’ll continue making the trip to go to her for years to come. She is kind and patient and meticulous. I don’t go often, but she even remembered personal details about me and the guy I was dating at the time! Developing a personal rapport goes a long way with keeping clients. Plus, she’s just awesome! I go for Brazilians, eyebrow and lip waxing and have never been disappointed. I’m so happy to see all of the good reviews, because she really is 5-​star!

I have been going to Kristy for a few months now. We just moved from St. Louis and I’m soooo relieved to have found her. She is an amazing person and ridiculously talented at what she does.

I spent years in Chicago looking for a place to get my brows waxed where pricing wasn’t basically highway robbery. Then Kristy came along and saved my face. She’s friendly, fun, and professional, and her rates are some of the best out there. The actual waxing is quick, painless, and my brows always look amazing afterward. I’ve only ever gone for eyebrow waxing, but definitely plan on getting a tint and/​or facial somewhere down the line!

I was so afraid to get waxed! But found so many wonderful reviews of Kristy! She’s the total best! Besides being an awesome person she’s great at doing her job! I’m more than satisfied! It wasn’t as bad as I thought but I owe it all to her! This will be my spot from now on! Love it!

OMG Kristy is the truth. She truly is a wonderful person, inside and out, and provides incredible service. The namesake of her salon lives up to who she is as a person — extremely detail oriented, and will not let you go until your service is executed to perfection. She is on time, professional, friendly, and efficient. Every unwanted hair on your body is removed with meticulous precision. She’s amazing!

Kristi is incredible and always provides the best and fastest service. I’ve gone to her for waxing and facials. She’s got spunk, too !

Kristy deserves this and every other 5-​star review she’s gotten. She’s friendly and professional, and she will remove every last hair (including ingrown ones) with her meticulous attention to detail (as the business name suggests). I’ve seen her for a variety of waxing services, including Brazilians, arms, legs, armpits, and eyebrows, and I always come away pleased with the results and impressed by her efficiency and ability to make the process relatively painless. Furthermore, the room in which she performs her services is comfortable and clean.
The prices for the services offered at Detail Oriented Waxing & Skincare are comparable to several other well-​rated waxing salons in the area. Appointments are very easy to schedule online. Accepted forms of payment are credit cards and cash. New clients get 20% off their first appointment.

After carefully researching, I booked my first appointment with Kristy. She was so sweet and kind. She took the time to listen to what I wanted and the eyebrow wax was practically painless. I couldn’t recommend her enough! I will definitely be returning!!!

Kristy is the best! She is extremely professional, knowledgable, and so friendly! I’ve been to a few different places for bikini waxes and this was definitely the best experience I’ve had. Kristy takes an appropriate amount of time to get the job done and made me feel comfortable the entire time. I will definitely be back!

A woman should never take a bikini wax lightly. No matter how many times I get it done, it still knocks the wind out of me. However, I’m not sure how Kristy does it, but her waxes are quick and virtually painless! She makes you feel so comfortable and by far does the best and most thorough job out of anyone I’ve ever been to. She cannot come anymore highly recommended!

After (unsuccessfully) trying many, many different aestheticians for Brazilians in Chicago, I finally found Kristy after reading many great reviews. And boy, were the other reviewers spot on. The salon has a chill, comfortable feel. Kristy is friendly, gentle, and extremely precise. Despite my apparent anxiety at having my first Brazilian in a long time, Kristy (and her calming crystal) made me feel at ease. She uses a numbing spray and waxes small areas at a time, making the process virtually painless. I’m so glad I finally found a great aesthetician and will definitely be coming back!

After reading reviews on Unilocal,I decided to make an appointment based on the exceptional reviews. After my appointment today, I must concur with the other reviews. Kristy was FANTASTIC! She was professional, friendly and gentle. Let’s face it, bikini waxes can be both painful and uncomfortable. Not the case with Kristy. She made me feel at ease throughout the process. And, for the first time, it was completely painless! She was very thorough and ensured that I was happy with both the results and the experience.
I would highly recommend Kristy to anyone requiring waxing services who wants a relaxing, pleasant and pain free experience.

Kristy was very gentle and kind. I came in for a Brazilian and it was my first time, so I was very nervous. She was informative and gentle. The overall experience was excellent. Thank you Kristy! You are amazing! I am definitely coming back!

I miss you Kristy! You were the best! Thank you for actually defining my thick crazy eyebrows and giving them an amazing shape that flattered my face. Since I moved back to NJ, I have found NO ONE that compares to you! But I won’t settle and keep looking! *sigh*

I’ve been seeing Kristie for a while now. I’ve seen my share of waxers in Chicago and I finally found «the one».
Kristie is personable. Makes you feel super comfortable. Online appointments and takes credit cards. All great. But what’s most important is she does a FANTASTIC job. Practically painless. Quick and thorough. I hesitated to post this for fear of loosing her to the masses but she’s just too wonderful not to share. Give her a try. You won’t be disappointed.

Kristy is simply amazing. I’ve been going to her for about a year now for Brazilians (which btw if you’ve had one takes a certain level of courage inversely proportionate to your self-​consciousness) and Kristy is simply amazing! She has a nice chill space, makes clients feel relaxed and comfortable, easy to chat with, and has superior skill and products. I am never disappointed, and due to her diligence have never had to deal with things like ingrown hairs, sore skin, etc. that have been common (at least for my skin) with other aestheticians. HIGHLY RECCOMEND!!!

For almost five years, Kristy has been the only person I trust to wax my eyebrows (not to mention other delicate areas), but she does so much more than just waxing.
Recently, I’ve gone to her for a facial, as well as eyelash extensions, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. She’s such a perfectionist and she will make sure you’re completely satisfied with every service. She really goes the extra mile for her clients.
She was also the make-​up artist for my wedding, the most important day of my life. She made me look exactly as I envisioned: the best possible version of myself, but not with so much makeup that no one would recognize me. I just wanted to look like a blushing bride. She absolutely nailed it: glowing, dewy skin, bold lashes, and classic pink lips.
Beyond all her amazing talents, she’s just a great person to be around. I will always be a loyal client of Detail Oriented, and I cannot recommend Kristy highly enough.
