$30 Brazilian’s at Daniela’s Facial Studio

When it comes to getting a Brazilian in this town, most PYTs make it a family affair.

But mix family and business and you’ll pay the price.

How fortuitous then that Daniela’s Facial Studio, a hidden gem in Lincoln Park, does the deed at a fraction of the cost. Tucked behind Restoration Salon, the tiny spot is filled with homemade balms, oils, and jewelry, making it more mystical apothecary than sterile clinic.

Your first waxing appointment may still set you back $40 to $45, but maintenance visits usually run $30 to $35. Since the salon is located smack in the middle of a residential neighborhood, there’s always meter or street parking available. So you won’t drop another ten spot at some pricey Gold Coast garage.

Thus saving you from the sting of an empty wallet.

The pain of waxing is bad enough.
