Our story

A small studio that refused to get bigger.

Chic Beauty has been on Army Trail Road for a decade. Two treatment rooms, three artists, and a book that fills on word of mouth.

Why we are still here

Sejal trained on threading at home, the way most people in her family did, long before it appeared on a menu in Illinois. She opened Chic Beauty because every place she worked wanted her to go faster and take more off.

So the studio was built around the opposite idea. Fifteen minutes for a brow is fifteen minutes, not nine. Nobody works on commission, so nobody has a reason to sell you a lamination you do not need. And if a shape will not suit you, someone will say so before the thread comes out.

That is the whole strategy. It has produced 181 reviews at 4.9 stars and a Saturday book that closes on Thursday.

  • Hospital-grade sterilisation

    Single-use thread and applicators, autoclaved tools, logged daily.

  • Licensed estheticians only

    Illinois-licensed, insured, and continuing education every year.

  • No commission, no upsell

    Artists are salaried. Recommendations are recommendations.

The artists

Three people, and you will know all of them by name.

Sejal, Owner + Brow Artist

Founder

Sejal

Owner + Brow Artist

Sejal opened Chic Beauty because she was tired of watching good brows get thinned into someone else’s trend. She maps every set to bone structure first and fashion second, which is why clients who moved out of Hanover Park still drive back.

  • Threading
  • Brow mapping
  • Tinting
  • Henna

Nikki, Lead Esthetician + Lash Artist

Team since 2019

Nikki

Lead Esthetician + Lash Artist

Nikki is the reason the facial reviews read the way they do. She is direct about what a treatment will and will not fix, builds courses rather than one-off miracles, and has a hand light enough that people fall asleep during extractions.

  • Hydra-facials
  • Acne care
  • Lash extensions
  • Lash lifts

Priya, Bridal Artist

Team since 2022

Priya

Bridal Artist

Priya has done more mehndi mornings than she can count and still runs a trial like it is the only wedding of the season. Skin prep first, product second — that is how a look survives twelve hours and a photographer’s flash.

  • Bridal makeup
  • Airbrush
  • South Asian bridal
  • Bridal henna
