She never pushes products or unnecessary treatments and genuinely wants the best results for her clients. I have been to dozens of estheticians worldwide from 5 star hotels and spas, and she is truly among the best. You are in great hands.

I specifically went into the store because they were having a promotion where if you spent a…read morecertain amount you got a complimentary candle. I went into the store, asked about the promotion and a sales associate showed me the candle and raved about its scent and burn time. I browsed the store and upon selecting my purchases in around 20m, the associate checking me out informed me after ringing me up that they were out of the promotional candle (despite still having many on the floor). There was no indication when I asked about the promotion upon entering the store that quantities were limited. The sales associate who helped me with my makeup was very attentive, thus the 2 instead of 1 star. Based on this, I will be avoiding credo beauty in the future and making purchases at one of the many other retailers that carry the same products.

I like the concept of Credo beauty and having a bunch of clean, popular products all in front of…read moreme. But I seriously wish their staff would just let the customers shop. People were continuously interrupted to be told about the various sales/promos and this is nice to an extent. After a while, people want to look around and feel/smell the products without being bothered. I'm hesitant to go in here because of this.

Last August (2024), I visited Jennifer at Lustre's new location, not far from her previous one. She…read morehas completely transformed the space with her warm, modern, earthy-boho style--lots of natural wood, big windows, and plenty of sunlight streaming through the waiting area. You'll even find curated goodies like Eminence skincare products, vintage jewelry, and other unique finds. Jennifer is incredible--both as a person and at her craft. She's the only practitioner I trust with my skin, and this visit was extra special because I had my first more advanced treatment: an Erbium Peel laser. Afterward, my skin looked like I had a mild sunburn and felt warm, but I was still comfortable enough to meet family for dinner. Jennifer explained exactly what to expect and how to care for my skin, and she was spot-on (as always). By the next morning, the redness was gone, and my skin felt tighter, smoother, and glowing. For someone like me with super sensitive skin, Jennifer always finds the perfect balance--pushing just enough for great results without overdoing it. This treatment was the ideal first step into something a little more intensive without jumping into Botox or injectables. If you haven't visited Lustre or booked a treatment with Jennifer yet, this is your sign. She's been doing this for years, continues to expand her knowledge, and is amazing at recommending the right products--favoring organic options while also understanding when active ingredients make sense.

I have been going to Jennifer for 5 years now and she is the only person on earth that I trust with…read moremy skin treatments! Jennifer has state-of-the-art esthetician equipment, and is extremely competitive with her pricing. Her service is unmatched in Chicagoland. Highly recommend her services to anyone with troubled skin, or if you are just looking for a relaxing facial with the highest quality of products.

Face Foundrié is an excellent choice for a high quality facial. The atmosphere is definitely more…read morefunctional than luxury, but I've found the facial experience itself to be excellent. I've had the clean and natural facial four times, having joined their base level membership (without feeling pressured, by the way) after a first-time discounted visit. I've seen three different estheticians, and each has done a great job. The membership gives you a monthly perk, which sometimes is a small product, but other times is an actual add-on. I find the facials very thorough and relaxing, with neck/shoulder massages to start and finish. Others have commented on the layout not being private rooms. This doesn't bother me - I go for the benefits of the services more than the atmosphere. It hasn't been very noisy the times I've been there, even with multiple clients. One thing I appreciate is that even though they always recommend products, they don't pressure you to buy them. The front desk staff has always been great, especially when I stopped by before I booked my first facial to ask some questions. I always look forward to my monthly visit because I come out with my skin looking great and just overall feeling great!

I decided to try Face Foundrie before heading on a two-week international trip and it was the best…read moredecision. I normally get facials about two or three times per year and have received most of them from full-service spas like Kohler and ones inside hotel. I love the beautiful spaces and amazing amenities that some of these larger spa's have, but I don't like going if I am tight on time. Face Foundrie is the perfect option for when you want effective skincare treatments and you are good with being in and out. I had the glow facial and the dermaplanning add-on. This was my first time having dermaplanning and I was impressed with the results. I remember hearing that your daily skin care products and makeup absorb better after dermaplanning and I would highly agree with this. While they did mention the membership to me at the end, it wasn't in a pushy way. I didn't end up enrolling in the membership, but it seems like a pretty good deal if you would like to have monthly facials.

I saw a dermatologist who put me on antibiotics (life-long regime) and told me to stop eating tomatoes, avocados, berries, etc and no more coffee or alcohol. Pretty much everything I ate or drank so I gave up and thought I would just live with it. Luckily, my sister recommended me to Dayna (the skin angel) as the other review says! She believes in healing the skin from the inside out and I've seen stunning results in 6 weeks. She is very well versed in all skin anatomy and physiology. I love hearing her explain and talk skin while she is treating my skin. Thank you Dayna!

I've been to many a dermatologists who throw me on some medication that makes my skin even worse plus side effects. I've also used many different skin care lines from Proactiv to Clinique to Pevonia to Aveda. The skin care she recommends has been the best I've ever used. Her gentle and fluid touch shows her expertise. I've never met an esthetician with more passion for skincare and I'm a hair stylist who's worked at 2 high-end day spas. She checks on me after my service to see how I'm feeling after a few days. I've NEVER had anyone care that much. I love her so much I've sent my Aunt to her and my own clients. They all love her and how improved their skin is. Jeanine is truly a master!

I had…read morethis small vein burst on my face for years and never imagined it would be easy to remove/treat. But after one appointment with Liz, it was gone! Since then I have been back for her wonderful facial treatments that are relaxing and always have me glowing for weeks. Her prices are fair- I pay $90 for a 45-60 minute facial treatment. The best part is that she customizes the treatment every time, depending on my skin issues. I just show up and talk with her for a few minutes while enjoying snacks and then I can relax the rest of the time while she works her magic. She is enthusiastic and knowledgeable in her equipment and products. Great find!

She sent me home with products to try! The day after, she checked in on how my skin was feeling and looking, which made me happy! Safe to say that my face is still looking like a beautiful dew drop.
