    After *note the glow on the forehead (hydrated) and post blackhead extraction on the nose
    Ella L.

    Plenty of metered street parking outside the building. $4.75/hour. There's a park right across the street, which looks beautiful, so for those with kids *hint hint* When I walked in, the lobby looks beautiful, organized, and smells great. Wish I took a picture to share with you all. Bathroom was clean. Heard about the rave of Hydrafacial and saw a deal off Groupon so bought it to try. They start you off with a skin analysis using VISIA. It was nice to see areas of concern. The analysis points out spots, wrinkles, texture, pores, UV spots, brown spots, red areas and porphyrins (bacteria on face). High scores means good, low not so good. It was reassuring to know I scored high in UV and porphyrins meaning my sunscreen application has been good and my face is clean from bacteria. Victoria was my esthetician. She's very nice, informative and gentle. The session was relaxing. She paid really good attention to my blackheads. After using the equipment for extraction she did manual extraction, which I appreciate. Manual extraction was the most discomforting, but tolerable for me. Victoria was nice enough to take before and after pictures for me. My skin is sensitive so I had some red spots after the treatment but was told it'll go away in a few hours. You can see after the treatment my is more hydrated based off the diminished lines. Blackheads not as visible. Victoria will give you recommendations post treatment, for me it was adding vitamin C into my regimen. She she didn't push any sales or product onto me. Hydrafacial maintenance is every 4-6 weeks. I'm all about self care, but don't think I'll be doing it every 4-6 weeks, maybe 8 weeks :p. They do have packages so do ask about the pricing for that if you want to save in the long run.

    I went for my first time to get botox and I loved everything. Paige answered every question I had and was so professional.

Later on, a random guy on the street even stopped to compliment how amazing my skin looked (and trust me, he definitely didn't see me before my appointment ). That alone says a lot about how good she is at what she does. If you're ever in need of a great facial, don't hesitate to book with my girl. She'll have you glowing and feeling gorgeous. Thank me later!

    About two years ago I booked a facial with Facial Studio Magdalena, and I thought my esthetician…read moredid a really great job! She politely explained what each step was meant to do to my skin and the studio itself felt very clean and modern. My problem came after the appointment. The owner came out to sell me her "Acne Boot Camp" program and skincare line, which I declined because it was out of my budget and I explained that I already had products prescribed to me by my dermatologist. Upon eyeing my face (which was covered in hormonal acne at the time) she judgmentally said, "Well, clearly it's not working." I never went back. And, since following my dermatologist's advice, my skin has cleared up a LOT. I use tretinoin which is a very common treatment for acne but one of its side effects is skin purging; which to her looked like "clearly not working." I know this review is quite late, but I just remember leaving the appointment so embarrassed and frustrated. Acne is a sensitive topic for a lot of people--which is why I treated myself to a facial! I know it's not easy to run a business, but there is no justification for such behavior. And you won't be able to find me in your database under this name. My appointment was on (1/31/2024). Best of luck with everything, you have talented staff and I hope my experience was just a one-off issue.

I wanted to add a lip and eye booster which was no problem. I found Vian Aesthetics through Hydrafacial's website and was happy with Nunzia's extended education through them. She also trains others in Hydrafacial too. Which I feel like when someone teaches it to others they know the ins and outs. This was my first time getting a hydrafacial. I saw the data and research about their efficacy and was nervous on finding a great provider. This could not have been a better spot for my first Hydrafacial. Since I live in another area Nunzia described and showed me some things to look out for and ask when I booked one where we live. I appreciate her helping me to become a more educated consumer! I really enjoyed discussing skincare with her. There are not a lot of times when I can discuss ingredients and brands that I like in depth with someone. The experience and Hydrafacial was everything and more that I had hoped it would be! I went in for my congested pores, redness and wanting more of a glow. Her technique is wonderful and my face looked radiant. This really agreed with my skin! She made sure I knew what to and not to do ahead of time and after. I appreciate her care in making sure the best and safest results for my skin! I think she space is lovely, very calming and rejuvenating. I would not hesitate to recommend her and I will be booking with her anytime we are in the area!

From the moment I walked in, she made me feel comfortable, welcomed, and cared for. Her energy is calm and professional, and she explained everything step by step, so I knew exactly what to expect.

Amaiya's technique is gentle yet effective, and she tailored the treatment perfectly to my skin's needs. I left the session literally glowing and more confident in my skin than I've felt in a long time. If you're thinking about booking with her--do it. Amaiya is knowledgeable, passionate about what she does, and truly gifted. I'll definitely be coming back again. Thank you, Amaiya, for making my skin feel brand new! ‍

    I had Dr Rachel do a face lift, lip filler, and rhinoplasty. I spent $20,000 and my nose now looks…read morecloser to my old nose than the picture I gave him of the nose I wanted. The face lift was okay, but he could have done better. See images below. The final results have left me with bumps and seamed (raised) skin all along my hair line. He took cartilage from my ears to put in my nose, but he didn't tell me. I found out after surgery. The day of the of surgery, I had to call him back into the room to remind him about the lip filler and how I wanted most of the filler in the top lip. Even after that, he put most of it in the bottom lip. When I came in for my one-month post-surgery appointment, I told him the nostrils were too big. He said he didn't touch the nostrils and that would be another procedure. I was so shocked and upset by his response, I didn't say anything. So, you want me to pay twice for what you should have done the first time???!!! Why didn't you touch the nostrils? It's my opinion that he is so concerned with his reputation and his work looking natural that he completely disregards what his patients ask for, what will make them look theirjawl best, and ultimately what will make them happy with the face they have to walk around with. And yes, I look better than before. But I didn't pay $20,000 to look better. I paid $20,000 to look good. Now I'm walking around with a $7,000 nose that I like less than my old nose and I'm wondering if I could have gotten the same jawline results with $1000 worth of laser tightening treatments and a good moisturizer. And to make matters worse, they gaslit me to a point where they had me give them a good review. How? They insisted in time everything would look better. It doesn't. You tell me. Look at the pictures. Would you pay $20,000 for these results? In addition: The receptionist was rude to me when I first called (At the Glenview office). The pre-surgery nurse kept repeating how thorough he was, except saying he was thorough was the only thing he was actually thorough about. He didn't return my messages. Several times he called me at the wrong time, then had to call me back because he misread his schedule. He then told me I'd have to tape my glasses to my forehead after surgery. Luckily, I found a band specifically made for glasses post rhinoplasty on Amazon. How didn't he know that? The day of the surgery the nurse was 30 minutes late, telling me that she didn't know that there was surgery that day. The anesthesiologist, however, was a dream. No stomach pain or nausea after surgery. She gave me an extra patch after I told her that I had a sensitive stomach. Their post-surgery follow up was a joke and consisted of a couple 2 min phone calls. They also sent my medication to a pharmacy an hour away from my home. All in all, this was one of the most disappointing things I've ever went through, ending up with me not wanting to look in the mirror anymore.
