Loved Yonnie! I'm beyond happy with my brows. I decided to go with the nano stroke and was a bit nervous at first, but Yonnie made the entire experience so comfortable. She took her time to explain every step and made sure I was completely confident before starting. I absolutely love my results and highly recommend her work! read more

Yonnie, you permanently F up big time my eybrows. You can now keeping saying "I didn't have a client name Rita" but you had at least me and also post an unauthorized photoshop pic of my eyebrow in your instagram. I DO NOT RECOMMEND WHAT YOU CALL "WORK". read more

Yonnie is absolutely the best at what she does. I have visited her twice now, first time for Microblading back in 2019. She did such a fantastic job that it lasted for 6 YEARS! I went back today for nano brows and a touch up! She's such a wonderful and kind person who is really so good at what she does!! The studio is pristine, very clean and everything is sterile and well looked after. I could not recommend this woman more if I tried! read more

Yonni treated my brows in two sessions. The results are just what I wanted. I found the process painless (I dozed off at one point). The studio is immaculate, Yonni explained the process and aftercare thoroughly. After a few weeks, the color has faded enough to look completely natural. Glad to have had such a positive experience! read more

This person got an attorney to try to intimidate me into removing my good-faith review. I am being asked to take this down (which I can't even do, because Yelp won't let you) and that is how my images will be removed. I don't see how the status of my good-faith review should have any bearing on images being taken down that don't belong up in the first place. The facts remain unchanged: - She breached my privacy, by publicizing a private matter I was attempting to resolve privately. - She further breached my privacy, by using an image of my face she has no release for. - She violated copyright law, by using an image I took and am the sole copyright owner to. - She defamed me (and continues to do so) by continuing to post about me, speaking ill (and falsely) of me on social media, adding my full name and tagging my business. - She attempted to extort me into removing this very review, by holding the illegally used images hostage. - She threatened libel, saying she would review my business negatively as retribution. - She committed credit card fraud, my storing my credit card information without my knowledge or consent, and then charging it on my behalf. Facts are facts. I will not be strong-armed into removing a true review that has the right to exist in the world. That's the whole point of reviews. But in any case, like I said previously, it's a moot point, as I am not even able to. read more

I decided to bite the bullet and go in for microblading earlier this year. Now that I have completed my second (follow-up) appointment a month ago, bringing the process full-circle, I can say with confidence that this is one of the better aesthetic decisions I have made. My brows used to be beautiful but unfortunately, I had one too many negative experiences with brow artists (using the term loosely) who were out of their depth when it came to my specific brow type - slightly unruly, with longer hairs. Their inclination had been to bust out the scissors, leaving me with a bald patch on my right brow, below the arch. The last few years had seen me spending countless hours and dollars on products to perfect, tame, and fill my brows. After a visit to my hairdresser where I was *thisclose*to getting bangs, I was recommended to Yonnie's business. It took me a lot of soul searching (sounds corny, I know) before booking the appointment. I was scared off by the cost as well as the time commitment and aftercare required. The first appointment, I was there for almost three hours. Yonnie took time to draw my brows, discuss what I was looking for, and put my concerns at ease. I ended up getting a combination of nano brows and microblading - machine and manual hair strokes. This was slightly pricier than microblading alone, but well worth it for my specific circumstance as I wanted a more natural look. Yonnie is a perfectionist and I encourage anyone who is on the fence to look at her business Instagram account which she keeps current with client photos. I'm not going to lie, the first healing week (no sweaty workout, no hair washing) was rough, but the result was well worth it. I recommend Yonnie and Chicago Microblading Studio without reservation. read more

Zero stars if possible Worst experience ever, Yonnie had the worst attitude . I came in to get some touch ups and and had to go to the emergency room from some type of fungus I got on my eye. She charged my credit card and wouldn' give me my money back. Now I have to use this cream for 6 weeks to repair what she did. I'm talking to my lawyer now to attempt to get my hospital bills paid for. Buyer beware.... she is not the cleanest person Service: Touch-ups read more

It's hard to believe something so simple could be so life changing. My eyebrows became sparse as I got older and it bothered me that I always had to "do" them with make up. Thanks to Yonnie's masterful skill, I got the eyebrows from my youth. It's so awesome to wake up, look in the mirror, and see my fresh face with amazing eyebrows. The picture is my before and after taken by my artist Yonnie. I follow her on social media and her work is consistent and gorgeous. A++ read more

Chicago Microblading Studio - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Yonnie is highly professional and a true artist! She took time to explain the procedure, then gave a lot of care in drawing out the brows before microbladed. Because of the way my brows raise when I open my eyes, she had to redraw them multiple times w precision care. No shortcut there, and her artistic eyes were very much appreciated. She said microblading is the easier part, and determining the shapes of the brows is the harder one. The rest of the procedure was fairly pain-free, and I almost fell asleep on the table! I highly recommend Yonnie if you are considering microblading. She is AMAZING!!!!! read more

Yonnie did an amazing job with my (previously hairless) brows! The environment in her suite is very relaxed, with great classical/jazz music and sterile. Her presence is very calming & she has really good vibes- someone you immediately feel comfortable with! Yonnie is extremely skilled, and I hope to be coming to her for years to come. She also gave me take home care in a cute little bag, which was just another nice touch to an overall perfect experience. I cannot recommend her enough! read more

Chicago Microblading Studio - Hybrid brows - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

She seems like a nice lady but be very careful when booking with her she uses manipulative and deceitful tactics to get more money out of people. For example she would change the date of your appointment without you knowing then send you a reminder 2 hours before the appointment and if u can't make it u have to pay an extra 50% of the initial fee for her to reschedule you and if you already had a deposit down you won't get your deposit back because you missed your appointment!!!! read more

Highly recommend Yonnie . read more

If you are like I was and want your brows nano bladed but do not know where to turn or who to trust....stop right here!!! My brows have always been an insecurity of mine & I knew I wanted to do nanoblading + shadowing for a while and spent so much time researching around the city before I finally got over the hurdle of deciding to pull the trigger and went to see Yonnie. I cannot adequately express how incredible the entire experience was from start to finish with Yonni - I am beyond happy with my results so far and will go back for the customary follow up in a few weeks! Yonni is so warm, kind, extremely talented with an INCREDIBLE attention to detail at every step from understanding the shape you want, measuring & marking, doing the actual nano blading + shadowing work, making touchups until they look perfect in her eyes as well as providing detailed care instructions for afterwards and goody bag to do so. I am sincerely grateful I found her and 1000000% reco her to anyone looking to do this type of service. read more

Chicago Microblading Studio - Brows - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I had microblading done 5 years ago while I was in CA but pigment didn't take because of my oily skin. I love super natural look with hair strokes as I don't wear makeup most of the time. One of my friend got her Nano brows done by Yonnie in May and I loved how soft and natural her brow look. I also loved many before and after pictures on her Instagram page so I booked Nano brow appointment online. Still, I was very nervous when I was at the spa at first. Yonnie explained every step and even showed me after first pass so I can see the shape. The whole process was almost pain-free. It took about 2 hours but when I saw my brows in the mirror, I was thrilled!! Yonnie told me that right after the procedure, brows are going to be thicker and darker than suppose to due to swollen but honestly I loved how natural my brows look right after already, framed my face very nicely. It's been 2 weeks since I got my brows done and I got so many complements already! My mom is going to get her brows done next week. Love, love my brows!! read more

Yonnie is the best! I only trust my skin and brows to the highest caliber professionals and she came highly recommended. Consult was easy to book. Process was very collaborative and sterile. Thrilled with results. Excellent price. read more

The best experience ever! Went in for microblading and I really liked how it turn out. Yonnie was very nice, professional and listens to my need. Also, the place is very clean and tools are all disposable! Highly recommend and definitely will come back again! read more

I was looking to get a microblading touch up since I wasn't happy with the last place I had gone to. A little over a year ago was my first time getting microblading done. I went to a place my friend had suggested but was not happy with the results, which is why I looked to try some place different. I read through Yelp reviews and decided to contact Yonnie since I figured with her being Asian, it would make her more aware of what's needed for a fellow Asian. I asked her if I could get a touch up or would have to be considered as a first time appointment since my last microblading session barely did anything. She asked for a picture and said I could just book a touch up. When I got to my appointment, I explained to Yonnie how my appointment last year left my brows with a reddish tint and most of the ink didn't even stay. Yonnie told me what pigments she'd blend together to avoid that reddish tint. She went through the whole process with me again, explaining to me what she'd be doing. After outlining my brows, she gave me a mirror so I could approve of the outline before she began the actual "tattooing." After she was done, she told me she'd email me details on the after care (which she did immediately). I was super happy with how my brows looked after the first session. She did more passes than on my first appointment a year ago (with a different studio) which helped a lot. After the first month passed, I did lose the ends and insides of my brows. During the touch up appointment Yonnie told me to change up the aftercare a little so I wouldn't lose the ends. Since I have oily skin, she told me to use blotter paper on days 5 through 12 which made a massive difference. I'm so happy she knows that every person has different skin types and tailors the aftercare accordingly. I also bled a good amount during the process which is why she wanted me to use the aftercare cream for a few days so I wouldn't scab too much and lose pigment that way. I'm so happy with the results and very glad I found Yonnie! read more

Wonderful experience and I love the results. Yonnie is highly professional, her studio immaculate. I am an older woman and was nervous about not liking my "new look" but I feel transformed. She is an artist, sensitive to my wishes that I keep the brows looking "natural" but still providing definition which is exactly what I got. I had no problem feeling self-conscious about being seen during the healing week - honestly there was no obvious irritation - just full brows that start off a little bold but softened to a perfect look after a week. I would not hesitate to recommend this business to my friends (which I have already done numerous times - getting so many compliments). read more

I've been going to Yonnie for over 2 years for lashes. I've also had the microblading service for my eyebrows (well worth it for anyone in their 40's like me). I stumbled onto Yonnie when she was working at a reputable lash studio in Lincoln Park. I needed full volume lashes for a work event. Since then, I've been seriously hooked. If you've done your research, you know that full volume lashes are not easy to come by. Not every professional does it well, leaving you feeling you've gotten your money's worth. Too, she's well known and has a growing clientele that has followed her to her new location in the Gold Coast. I live in the north-shore area, work downtown and intentionally go out of my way to see her on the weekends or after work hours. She's that good. Her line of work requires attention to detail and an eye towards perfection. Because she herself is a perfectionist, her work stands out. You will not be dissatisfied! read more

I am very satisfied my micro-blade eyebrows by Yonnie. She did a great job and made me feel comfortable during procedure. Highly recommend!!! read more

I have spotty and uneven brows. Yonnie took time curving the detail strokes of the fibers of my eyebrows on my natural skin. Very compassionate made sure I was comfortable during the process. The pain was manageable, the result more volume and even perfect frame on my face. She also very good in guiding me during the healing process. It is really worth the money. Thank you! read more

Yonnie has been doing my lashes for almost three years, so when I decided to try microblading, she was the obvious choice. I always receive compliments on how beautiful and naturally full my lashes look. Now that Yonnie has microbladed my brows, my look is complete. I have a signature look. My makeup time has been dramatically reduced and on weekends, I don't have to apply anything. My brows shape my face perfectly. Yonnie took her time in explaining every step in the microblading process to ensure I knew exactly what to expect. She even showed me pics of other clients she had done that had a similar facial shape and skin tone to provide a visual of what was possible. I am so pleased with the results. I am a Yonnie lash-and-brow lifer. My lashes and brows are perfect for my lifestyle. I now have several friends that are also devoted Yonnie clients. It's so funny to hear us when we get together. Inevitably, someone will comment that they know who has recently seen Yonnie! read more
