    Today was my 2nd visit. The prices here are very reasonable. Both the students Holly and Linh today…read morewere very detail oriented and efficient. Really enjoyed my waxing and facial service. I would recommend coming with extra time if doing waxing in case it ends up taking longer than expected

    My husband and I scheduled a stress relief treatment which is a facial and back facial one day…read morebefore service over the phone. So the receptionist at that time knew it would be a male and female coming in (unfortunately, this is important). When we got there I did notice some scuffling around and it seemed like the receptionist wanted to see who would provide service for who, or something completely separate was happening, but I did notice. I talked to my student and went to the spa area. After a couple of minutes my husband also joined. I called his name, just saying hi since I knew he was excited because this was his first back facial. He tells me that the student said she is "uncomfortable touching a males back, so she can only do the facial". I told him we would just leave because he was looking forward to that aspect of the stress relief. The receptionist saw us leaving and confirmed that the student did say she was uncomfortable, and that she was the only one available to service my husband. Not sure how true that is because we saw several students walking around. Overall, I feel like this could have been handled so many other ways rather than making my husband feel like he is making someone uncomfortable for being a guy with a back at a spa ‍. I doubt I will be back with him or alone, we were caught off guard by the denial of service.

    After completing the 750 hour esthetics program, and now beginning a job in a med spa, I can say…read morethat I'm glad I chose this school. The instructors here are very knowledgeable estheticians who continue to pour their knowledge and skills into you daily. Each instructor has their strong suits, which allows for students to gain the best experience in each aspect of esthetics. The program includes tests, quizzes, projects, homework, practicals, and presentations, but you are given the chance to retake them as needed. I felt that the coursework was very doable. The tests prepared me VERY well for the state board exam, while the practicals and hands-on experience prepared me to take clients right away.

    I recently took the Advanced Facial Massage class at New Age Spa Institute in Des Plaines, and it…read morewas absolutely fantastic. The course was extremely informative and exactly what I needed to take my skills--and my business at Lipomassage Chicago--to the next level. What I loved most was the hands-on practice. We didn't just sit and listen--we got to apply the techniques in real time, which made a huge difference in building confidence and mastering the methods. The instructor was experienced and engaging, and the environment was both professional and supportive. This training gave me the tools to enhance client results and also find new ways to upsell services at my Medspa. If you're in the industry and looking to grow, I highly recommend the New Age Spa Institute.

    Hey ...! I just wanted to express that I'm so grateful for my experience while earning my…read moreesthetician license at YSBC. The staff was incredibly patient and supportive throughout my entire journey. They never made me feel rushed or discouraged, and truly helped me grow both professionally and personally. A very special thank you to the Director and one of my instructors, Mrs. P, her encouragement helped make all the difference. Highly recommend to anyone considering esthetics!

    Not much was different on my 2nd visit 2.5 years later than my first visit here, except the service…read moreI chose. I got a relaxer last time, but this time my hair was (mostly) natural and I wanted to keep it that way. I requested a natural hair process of wash, dry, and trim. I had a style picture sample to show them too. My stylist (Tranise? Denise? Raynisa?)was more of a novice in need of supervision this time than my previous stylist, who was mostly there to accrue hours. She was friendly and approachable. As with my last service, I paid FIRST, word of warning to those who go. Not sure what the return/exchange policy is there for very unsatisfied customers. The atmosphere was upbeat and supportive, with my signs encouraging smiling and positivity. There seemed to be the same supply issues, however, of equipment missing, misplaced, or unavailable. I was told a diffuser would be used to keep my curl while drying, but no one seemed to have one. After a mishap or two (too much product, had to rinse it out) I was placed under the dryer but no additional conditioner was applied to my hair. I should have requested it but really should I have to? I got some good advice on maintenance, and I got the style that I wanted too. When I am more comfortable handling my hair I will go back, maybe bring some equipment/product just in case.

    After the first session, the eyebrows were uneven. This was a shock as the natural brows after a…read morebrow wax and tint looks much better. But we were told the the cheek bone and over all bone structure was uneven, so the brow drawing followed such. Later as the brow healed, there were patches that were lightening up, and when it healed for the most part and the color evened, you can really see the unevenness of the brows. It was pointed out by so many people. The only hope, and the excuse we told people, was that it wasn't finished yet, and there would be a second and final touch up. The directions post op were followed to the tee. The final touch up, which is mandatory at this point, was an extra $200 on top of the $500. So that's roughly $700 investment before taxes and fees. We were a little uneducated on pricing of microblading/ombré brows as we only based our patronage from the referral of a person who's eyebrows we saw. Since the visit here, I've travelled to LA and NYC, and asked around Chicago downtown, and saw that the $700 total is up to par to the high-end salons that service brows. Where you're given much more salon treatment during, while waiting etc. I've also seen the works in person of brow artists who have done it on asian oily/dry skin, light colored skin, etc. And there's no problem with patching. The eyebrows also were done very evenly and nice, as if it were drawn in naturally, regardless of bone shape (no one's facial structure is even after all). The other shops also told me that O wouldn't need to come back until 1-2 years, but this place said 8 months to come back and pay $350 for another session. Like what? I retract my first statement. And definitely you're able to find downtown salons with greater customer care that check up on you post procedure for this price. The shape also of the brow isn't that great.

    I got my brows microbladed after 3 years of contemplating it lol .. i wanted a super natural look…read morethat required no filling in - & wouldn't look like makeup brows(ombre style usually looks like makeup) this is 1 month healed after 1 session!
