I live in the city and have tried dozens of different estheticians throughout Chicago, none even come close to Margie. Since letting my sister in law bring me to skin sational in December my face has cleared to 90%, this has not only made me incredibly happy but it has boosted my confidence! She has tamed my breakouts and redness and has dramatically reduced the oily-ness. She is worth the hour drive once a month! Margie is now the only one who is allowed to touch anything and everything on my face. She has converted me from lash extensions to lash lifts and tints and from eyebrow threading to waxing, both which are much better for my lashes and brows and look much more natural while still making me feel pretty. Margie's shop is also a huge bonus. I am always on the look out for a good crystal shop and she has some beautiful gems with great energies! I step into her spa and am automatically calmed and leave feeling beautiful. Thanks so much Margie!

The nails were so horribly done, I had to get them redone at another salon. I could go on and on on about the horrible design and botched paint job for my nails-BUT- what is more importsnt is the unsanitary work conditions that resulted in my boyfriend having the most disgusting infected toenail, that he had to go to urgent care to get taken care of. The pedicure resulted in an incredibly infected toenail that was pus filled and had to be drained, and part of the toenail had to be removed. He was also given antibiotics and told he has to come get the infected toenail checked out again in a week. I contacted the nail salon about this and requested a refund and they told me basically to get lost and if I wanted a refund to "call the police". DO NOT GO HERE. Absolutely the worst nail salon I have ever been to, only go here if you want to be treated terribly and leave with a horrible infection and an urgent care bill.

Ellie (she's the same person as the Noelle mentioned in other reviews in case you're confused) is…read morethe reason why I never have to wear concealer or foundation. I like that she talks through what she's doing since I really enjoy learning about the treatments and ingredients and the reasoning behind them. I've learned a lot about how skin functions biologically and how I can keep taking care of it at home. I also like that she's got a lot of experience and training working with different skin types AND medical needs/restrictions, and customizes each skin treatment every single time. The results are definitely superior to other spas, where they give you a peel just because you scheduled a peel, nevermind what your skin actually needs. If you have been considering getting professional skin treatments, definitely get them done at Fix Your Face! I've been going here since the beginning of 2019, when my pregnancy wreaked havoc on my skin. Ellie is very knowledgeable about how to manage skin going through a lot of hormone changes, as well as tailoring treatments to be pregnancy-safe. I got that pregnancy glow instead of a face full of breakouts after the first session but went every month to keep up with the rapid hormonal changes and to maintain that glow. I've kept it up through other big hormonal changes in my life since then--postpartum, breastfeeding, getting on birth control, getting off birth control--and also added eyebrow shaping and tint to what I get done. My poor brows got overplucked ONCE in high school and never recovered but after a year of regular monthly sessions, they are starting to fill in a little bit and look intentionally shaped.

The space was bright, light and clean - and I was immediately intrigued by the product wall featuring a range of beauty items for your face, body and skin (way beyond just waxing-related items). I'll def plan for extra time to look around more and buy a few things the next time I visit! I had an appt with Kyna for an eye brow waxing - which it had been too long since my last. She was so sweet and informative, made sure I was comfy then got down to business. I was out of there in no time (which is always my top priority) and my brows looked great. I'm usually very sensitive to waxing and no issues in the days after - yay! I'm going back again this week and will continue to visit them for my other waxing services. Love this place!
