However, the situation became less satisfactory when scheduled appointments were disrupted, and I was informed that my esthetician was unavailable, with the suggestion to book with another.

The quality of service provided by Denae was excellent, and I was genuinely disappointed to learn of her departure. Unfortunately, no forwarding contact information was provided, and I was simply told that other estheticians were available.

Threading NIGHTMARE:…read more Pros: Front desk staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and it was easy to make a same-day appointment. The actual conversation made during threading was pleasant and nice. Cons: I paid for full-face threading, and when I got home I realized that the person absolutely mangled my face. I have multiple bleeding, open wounds, and cuts on my face. I did not have acne, I have never had accutane, and I have never in my life had a reaction like this to threading. Redness? Puffiness? Totally normal and not cause for concern. Open cuts are another thing. I did not notice at the moment of threading because I was only told to look at my brows, and the appointment was already running late, so I was trying to make it to my next thing on time. In addition to horrible open cuts which I will need to watch for infection and pray will not leave scars...multiple areas of my face still had patchy bits of hair left. So, not only did I pay $50 for the privilege of having my skin cut open by someone....there was also hair left? If you visit, do NOT ask for threading, this is either inexperience or incompetence. Save yourself the embarrassment of walking around like this. I feel like a fool for walking out all smiling and happy because she didn't say ANYTHING about it, and I didn't notice until I got in the uber to leave and looked at myself with my phone camera.

After all that...there were still hair patches

I wish the tint showed up, maybe it needs to be on more than 1 second, although she did say if left on longer it would be too dark but I did not notice a difference. For the lash lift I am upset about this service. My lashes were pretty crooked/all over the place. The service also made a lot of my lashes fall out. I really wanted to love this. I am open to trying again, I've seen great results on other people. Maybe I just need to try a different technician.

I have nothing but the best things to say about Embellash Beauty Bar and the entire staff. Vivi has been doing my lashes for almost 2 years. In that time I also started getting my eyebrows done which I have never let anyone touch. Andrea immediately took me under her wing and always ensures I am happy with how they look. It is so amazing to see a small business grow. I am beyond excited to see they are expanding their service offerings. They are now a one stop shop for all your beauty needs. The salon is extremely sanitary and abides by all Covid regulations. The staff is extremely welcoming to all clients, regulars or new. Anywhere I go I always receive compliments and have NO hesitations sending them here knowing they will be in the best of hands. Truly the best example of a small business! read more

I've been doing lashes for over a decade and have been to Cali, Dallas and other places in Chicago and this place is the best hands down. I see Vivi for lashes and Andrea and Tabitha for brows. Tint lasts a long time 2. Most importantly the staff is very special and has an aura that makes me feel better then when I left! They empower me and pump me up. You can tell they love what they do and love each other. They are a vibe! You won't regret! read more

The lady on the phone said they won't be able to see us until 5pm (at that time it was 3:30). I asked if they had any sooner slots since it was raining and windy today and we were already in the parking garage at the time and they said no. I told them I would call my friend and ask if it was okay first and they said okay. About 2 mins later I called them back and they never picked up the phone twice. I thought they were probably busy so I decided to walk in through the garage entrance since I wanted to make sure to secure the 5pm slots for today. When I walked in I was greeted by a friendly lady who asked me to come in. I told her that I called earlier and just wanted to make sure I secured the appointment for 5pm today. I don't think she understood what I said and told me to take a seat to look at the service menu. It was a bit strange that they were so willing to have me sit down to serve us right away considering the fact that they told us on the phone that we would have to be seen at 5pm. The salon was practically empty with only one other customer in there getting their nails done. Anyways, service went on just fine after that! The nail salon was adorable and girly and the staff were sure to be very transparent with the prices. They did my nails very efficiently and I was very happy with my nails. I think the only downside to this place was the language barrier. It was very easy to misunderstand what we wanted. For example, my friend wanted to pay for her service only and the lady misunderstood and charged my friend for hers and my service which was rather inconvenient since I planned to pay cash and now had to Zelle my tip.
