The overall vibe was pleasant and very relaxing. My facial was very refreshing, Lily did a great job. I also got my eyebrows waxed and tinted. They have never looked better. I will definitely be going back. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Amazing work, thanks Vladislava! Look forward to seeing you again in a few weeks. ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- A picture is worth a thousand words! However, in order to publish a Yelp review it must contain a certain number of words, lol. So this paragraph is here to simply meet the minimum word count requirement. read more

Booked a microdermabrasion apt with a Groupon and it was 100% worth it! Vladislava was so polite and professional. For Groupons I always set my standards kind of low, but here it felt like I was getting a full facial experience! We did cleansing, exfoliating, mists, serums, masks and facial massages. She also gave good skincare advice and a new mask at the end. Mind you, I was 10 min late to my appointment because I had trouble finding parking and the building, yet she was still so nice to me. Parking: office is located next to Millenium Park. Thought street parking would be ok to find on a weekday at 1 PM. I was wrong. Ended up using ParkWhiz to park in the Millenium Park North garage which was about a 5-10 min walk. Location of Facial Boutique: for some reason google maps led me to The Heritage which is the building behind The Garland (where Facial Boutique is located). The Garland has big gold doors and is next to the Staples. Office is on floor 13. Overall would come back again to check out her other services! read more

Vlada is amazing!!! Excellent technique and always friendly and warm visit. Can't wait until next time. Thank you so much!!! read more

I have Been getting lashes for years and they have never lasted ! As soon as i leave they shed. My lashes now have lasted almost 4 weeks! Definitely worth the price! Facial products are amazing read more

Vlada is the best! Love her thoroughness and highly personable & professional lady! Her microdermabrasion technique seem to have helped my skin feel rejuvenated. She is thorough and doesn't seem to rush in doing the treatment (facial) and then with all the warm towel and her gentle hands after it just feels so soothing..You would wanna stay with her as she pampers your face the whole day!!! I definitely would love to come back! read more

I saw a groupon for a facial and instantly checked them out on Yelp. GREAT, glowing reviews...however I didnt feel the same. Walk in, mom at the desk, I try to tell her I have an apptmt at 3P...she shushes me saying I am early. Now, I get it, I actually was talking quietly because I assumed this place was a one room spot...Ive been in this building before for stuff. OK, I go take a seat. Woman comes out and asks what I have/want. I say I bought the groupon for a choice of facial. She wants the groupon code...dont people usually pay at the end?? Then she asks me again, what do I want. I say, well I was hoping you could look at my skin and suggest what would be beneficial. She states, we will do the custom. Alas, I go back to the room. Get comfy. No bolster under my legs, which got to be uncomfortable after just laying there for 55mins. She comes back, massages and cleanses for 10 mins, steam for about 10 mins, extractions for 5 mins, mask for what felt like 15-20 mins, then wash off, moisturize and done. I was disappointed as it just seemed like I was laying there with something on my face for most of the time. I am used to more massaging, etc. Also, it was very bright in the room...which again, I am willing to give up ambiance for a great facial. Alas, this was the super saver special...and not in a good way. I felt rushed and disregarded. Maybe its because I am not a normal client. Maybe its because I had a coupon. Maybe she was having a bad day. Maybe she ate something bad for lunch. I dont know, but I was unimpressed and will not be returning for future services. read more

I feel like I just committed a robbery. Really, like I just stole something and I have this big secret. I went to the Facial Boutique today and I cannot believe the facial I got. It was beyond wonderful and I feel like it was probably the best facial I have ever gotten. I feel not worthy of receiving it because I got it for only $59 due to the prettycity.com promotion going on for February. For a full hour Vlada worked her magic on my skin. The facials at The Facial Boutique are custom tailored to your individual needs. I was in the midst of a breakout and she zapped the area with something called a high frequency machine and it made my redness go away like magic. They use Yonka La Grand products and Vlada told me that she loves them so much she gave me samples to try because she wishes more women knew about them so I got a bag of samples to take home. One thing The Facial Boutique does differently is their microdermabrasion. They actually use baking soda crystals that are propelled at a high speed across the skin's surface to abrade the skin. This is pretty cool because that means they can do that delicate area under your eyes and around your mouth and lips. Usually those areas are always avoided when you have the diamond tip microderm treatments. Vlada's mom owns The Facial Boutique and has been an Esthetician for over 20 years, my friend got a facial from her this morning while I was with Vlada and she loved her results as much as I loved mine. The Facial Boutique does waxing and a ton of other facial services including eyelash extensions. I can't believe I am the first to review this place? What? You ladies are missing out on a true gem! They are conveniently located steps from the EL. Go and get beautiful now! read more

Ohhh VALDA!! How many ways I love you!!! Let me count the ways!!! 1. Always professional. 2. Takes pride in her work 3. So good I rarely let ANYONE else touch my eyebrows( on the three occasions in which I did I was wishing I hadn't) 4. Resonably priced 5. Many kinds of spa services 6. She and her mom are OH SO VERY SWEET 7. Quick ad EXCELLENT services 8. Have no problem referring her to friends 9. Was actually De-virginzing me to the waxing process. 10. I just love her so!!! But seriously this girl rocks my world in the beautification department!! I was a client of her's when she worked across the street at what used to be Marshal fields. I was introduced to her like 8 or 9 years ago and has been absolutely HOOKED since. She's very accomodating if she can and has even at times text me to let me know there's an opening prior to my scheduled appt to see if I wanted to move mine up!!! See??? This chick is the BOMB!!! check her out! read more

As a long time client of the Facial Boutique who recently relocated to California from Chicago and cried when I had last appointment with Vlada, I write this review to let the world know how fabulous the Facial Boutique and Vlada are. Facials are heavenly and very reasonably priced. She uses Yonka products which are the best and my skin has never looked better. You can also buy the products from her online, highly recommend it (I will be using the website to buy my Yonka products to be shipped to Cali!) I also have had waxing and lash extensions there, and every service was impeccable and again a good value. Lash extensions were to die for and always looked elegant and natural. She is a true artist! The location is great, right downtown and close to public transportation, very convenient especially if you work downtown. So, if you live in Chicago or are coming for a visit, please book an appointment with Vlada, she is fantastic and the prices are great. I plan on seeing her for a facial next time I'm back in Chicago! read more

I too got such a great deal at Facial Boutique during the October $31 Pretty in Pink deals in support of breast cancer awareness month. I've had my share of facials but never tried microdermabrasion before. Always curious and now in quest for baby but skin and a glow like J-Lo I thought I'd give it a try. At first fearful but the ever so kind Vlada was patient and gentle. I walked out of there feeling like WOW my skin can breathe like never before!! It looks and feels smoother too. I will definitely go back! Do not let the loop building deter you, this place is truly a diamond in the rough! Enjoy ladies!! read more

Bought a groupon; however, upon booking an appointment, I was required to pre-pay for the service. Since I'd already paid via groupon, I couldn't fathom why it was necessary to "double" pay for I service I'd not yet received. Decided to go elsewhere. It's obvious they're business practices are dubious. read more

Vladislava was AMAZING! I would HIGHLY recommend Facial Boutique to anyone looking for a great facial.

I emailed the Facial Boutique and the responded quickly with their Specials which I thought were out of this world! * $75 ($150 value) for a microdermabrasion with facial massage and custom mask * $75 ($150 value) for a SkinCeuticals gel peel * $125 ($250 value) for an Intraceuticals Rejuvenate Infusion facial treatment I met Vlada who did my Microdermabrasion with a facial massage and custom mask. Let me tell you that my skin was glowing. She took all of the dry cells out and I could really tell this morning because my make-up went on smoothly. I also purchased a serum b5 from her shop at a rather great price. I will definitely be back for more treatments in the near future. I thought I would just share my insights with anyone who is looking for a great facial in the loop during lunch or afterwards. read more

After reading the reviews, I purchased a deal on Yelp for this establishment. Upon arriving, I was warmly greeted and quickly taken to my room. The place is very small with a quaint, personal atmosphere. Compared to a very large spa, you really feel like you are receiving optimal attention from the staff. My facial with Vlada was fantastic. She is really very skilled and gentle. I left with a little bit of redness, but my skin was glowing within 24 hours. read more

I've been coming here for my lash extensions for about a month -- AMAZING! They last forever and she does such a beautiful job.

This place offers an amazing experience from start to finish. As soon as you arrive your relaxation begins, the entire atmosphere allows you to check all your worries at the door. It's a cozy small salon filled with beautiful scent, deem lighting and gentle sounds of music. Their passionate about skincare owner, Vlada is a real expert in her field. She doesn't only provide a service you picked off the menu (like you would get at any big salon), she is able to assess your needs and cater to your particular skin challenges. Genuinely a warm person, her every touch brings special care. I ALWAYS walk away looking lifted and radient! As a woman in my 30's, I care about preserving youthful looking skin on my face, and therefore I value the special attention from a true expert. Unlike a bad manicure - we only get one chance when it comes to the gentle skin on our faces. Facial Boutique is the only place I would trust! P.S. Aside from her absolutely magical skin treatments Vlada does amazing job with shaping eyebrows or adding lushes eyelashes for that special hot date - she is a true beautician. read more

Although they are not very good at answering the phone, they are very good at responding to emails. I bought a groupon for this place and was quite impressed with the facial with microderm that I received. I get facials about 2-3 times a year (although this was my first microderm experience) and I truly feel that she focused a little more on extracting and cleaning my pores and the face massage I received was likely the longest I have ever received! Thank you! read more

I got a Groupon for custom facial and it was amazing! I arrived without my Groupon print out, the esthetician Vlada was extremely patient till I got it on my phone.(10 Mins). Vlada is very gentle and gave a relaxing face massage and pack, she even complimented me on my fine skin, thrilled me :) I will definitely come back!!! read more

I took advantage of a Rejuvenate Facial offer and am so glad I did. Vlada is terrific. The spa is tiny but well equipped, and Vlada knows what she is doing. I will be going back for more. read more

I love this place! I am very picky about my facials because my family has many facial boutiques in NYC, but I moved to Chicago so they are not here to help me with my facial and skin issues. She did extractions on me and she gave me a great product to use to help prevent future breakouts. I had a great time and I recommend her to other people who really care about their skin. read more

I've been going to Vlada for 3 years and achieved amazing results! I enjoy every visit because she never makes you wait, her salon is spotless and she focuses on long term results. It a great value, since this personalized treatment comes at very reasonable prices. My friends are noticing a visible glow and younger looking skin on face for a week after each visit and longer term results are even more amazing. Vlada takes special care of every client, you can see that it's not a "hit & run" approach you often get from a chain spa, where they up-sell you on services and push their product line. Vlada will examine your skin and create a custom treatment for YOUR face. She also offers "instant glamor" options I often take advantage of for special occasions. I had her ad eyelashes for me and before I knew it, I opened my eyes and had fabulous lashes. They lasted longer than she promised and it only took a few minutes each morning to look fabulous! Quality of service with a personal touch is what I found at Facial Boutique. read more

Over many years, I've tried numerous places for eyebrow arch and leg waxing. Facial Boutique is MY FAVORITE. And fast, too. For eyebrow arch, estheticians at other places wax for 15 minutes and then spend 20 minutes plucking missed hair and still miss a few. ?? The facials are great, too. Service is friendly and professional. The location is perfect for people who work or live in the Loop, but it also has weekend hours. It's a bit hidden in the Garland Building, where there are a lot of dentists and eyedoctors. Prices are lower than fancy spas but the end result is at least the same if not better. And, yes, the place is clean. If you are still not convinced, coupons make it easier (on the wallet) to give this place a try. I found coupons at http://www.yourfacialboutique.com/Specials.aspx and http://chicagobeauty.com/salons/facial_boutique_coupon.htm. read more

Facial Boutique - Skin Care Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I was initially super nervous to come here fearing that my pale, sensitive skin might turn really red. However, once I arrived, Vlada helped me get settled. She assured me that we would go with a very light chemical peel, perfect for the winter, and that I wouldn't walk out red or peeling. She talked me through everything she was going to do before she started each step and the results were fantastic. It definitely is a 'no frills' kind of place, but I left feeling very relaxed, calm, and my skin felt great. The entire treatment took 45 minutes, which I thought was very reasonably priced at $75 (with the Living Social coupon). read more

vlada is amazing! this lady knows what she is talking about and will educate you on all that you need to know about your skin! i will continuously send my clients to her and am lucky to have found her! best micro derm for the BEST price that you will find in the entire city she will not try to over sell you any of the products there and puts noooo pressure on you purchasing anything! fantastic service, and i should know as i am a makeup artist and am well educated on all of the products out there! THANKS VLADA! p.s. i was i dire need to get in after hearing good things about her from one of my associates, and she allowed me to come in at 7 oclock that night (WHICH IS THE TIME SHE CLOSES!) i really appreciated that! thanks!! read more

This place is no frills - but it's clean and Vlada is nice and thorough. Also, no hard sell on products. I will definitely be back.

I agree w/Vanessa! This place was great. Never gotten a microderm before, but I took advantage of the $31 Pretty City special and I will definitely be back! Vlada was so great and answered all of my questions. Pro: Conveniently in the Loop Con: Small, so need to book appointments further in advance read more

Vlada is amazing! She gives the best facials - I love the humidifier that she uses and the creams...I mean the whole bit...she really knows what she's doing. I've gone to her several times now and kind of want to commit going once a month since my skin is really bumming out on me :( i really love the way my skin feels after I leave her office. You'd definitely be happy if you tried her. And she's extremely flexible with her schedule/appointments! :) I won't be going anywhere else! read more

I went there to get an express facial as apart of their Love You promotion. Valda is amazing. I walked in and within 5 mins we were rolling on the facial. I have specific issues that I am working on with my skin and she was able to give advice that really made sense. Her hands were like magic on my face. Her office is small but since its only her, there is no need for more space. Great experience. read more

Hands down the best facial I have EVER gotten. Vlada and her family run this outfit and it means a lot to me in any business when the owner is actually working on the product or in this case, service. They just take greater care and do not just 'go through the motions' so to speak. I could tell right off the bat that Vlada was a 'skin genius' and as a result I received a custom built facial that was perfect for my skin. Their prices are extremely competitive and this is one of the better values I have found in the city of Chicago all things related! I will definitely be back time and time again. read more

I tried this place based off of the great reviews I found here on Yelp, and I was equally pleased. I had a bikini and eyebrow wax and Vlada did a very good job. She is very professional yet friendly, and she's fast, which I can certainly appreciate when having a bikini wax! She offered some samples when I left which was a nice touch. The place is rather small but clean, and for me, the location is great. Their hours are also good--open til 7 on weeknights so I could easily go after work. Best of all, prices are incredibly reasonable, especially compared to other places I've gone for bikini waxes that didn't do as good of a job (nor were they as efficient). read more

They say that eyebrows are important and that they frame your face. Vlada does a beautiful job on my eyebrows. In fact, I always get compliments on my brows. I just had a relaxing facial with Vlada yesterday. I highly recommend a Yonka facial. My skin looks great!! read more

Vlada does an amazing job! My first time getting eyelashes was with her and I probably won't be searching for anyone else. The process was relaxing and the results were gorgeous. She responds lightening fast to messages here on Yelp and books you really fast. I'll definitely be a regular with her! read more

I've been working with Vlada since all the way back to her days at Field's, probably 12 years or more. I wouldn't trust anyone else! Vlada is an artist, professional and she keeps abreast on the latest techniques, products and equipment!!! read more

Vlada gives the best facials I've ever had. I have very fair, sensitive skin, and she manages to leave me glowing rather than red and splotchy. The location is small but very comfortable. read more

I went to Vlada for a full set of lashes; and they came out to perfection! I have been to 4 different places in the city for lashes and Vlada has been the best! She took her time and took into account the look I was going for while also making sure the extensions would not be too heavy for my own lashes. I have now had them for a week and they still look as good as they did the first day! I also have had allergic reactions at other studios but did not here. I will agree that it is difficult to reach anyone at Facial Boutique on the phone. I even tried to send a message directly through the website and did not receive a response, BUT I have been communicating with Vlada via YELP message and she promptly gets back to you... within minutes! I'm so glad I found her! read more

I called Vlada today and she got me right in for a brow wax. She is the only person I trust with my eyebrows in this city. You'd be a fool to go anywhere else. read more

got the groupon. The location is incredible! Very easy to find. I did the acne facial. It didn't seem to do anything to my face, but the facial felt good. read more
