Lincoln Park Spa Expands Beyond Neighborhood

A national spa chain is expanding its Chicago footprint beyond just Lincoln Park with a new location soon landing on Southport Avenue in nearby Lake View.

European Waxing Center is doing an estimated $150,000 build-out at 3728 N. Southport Ave., adjacent to Chase Bank.

The almost 2,100-square-foot storefront will be one of the chain’s nearly 450 locations nationwide.

Chicago's centers are in Lincoln Park at 2065 N. Clybourn Ave. and 2717 N. Elston Ave.

Permits to renovate the Southport space, formerly occupied by Platt Construction, were approved mid-April.

They detail the addition of an entry lobby, six service rooms, an office, storage areas and restrooms.

A representative with the general contractor at the scene said construction has been under way for almost two weeks, and workers plan to be finished in about a month. He added the franchise owner is very private and will not talk to media about the new business.

European Waxing is quite simply a waxing salon, offering affordable services for both men an women. Clients can book their appointments online for treatments using the company’s patented “comfort wax,” which, according to their website, sets them apart from other salons.

Prices range from lip and chin waxing for $9 to Brazilian bikini waxing for $42 and full leg waxing for $60. Prices are the same for men.
