    Kathy nailed it again!!

    Kathy nailed it again!! My winter wonderland nails I requested white with glitter on top and she did it perfectly

    A hidden gem in Gold Coast. Linh does fantastic work I've been going for years! Great service and friendly staff. They take the time for each customer, highly recommend stopping in!

    I've gone here a few times for my eyebrows and decided to try just a general manicure here. They changed who was supposed to be doing my nails without telling me (made my appointment with Nancy and got Kim, she was very nice though) but I'm really disappointed with how my nails didn't even last a whole day. I got these done Thursday and this is how they looked Saturday morning. Very disappointed won't be returning for anything mail related.

    Used to come here a lot, overtime though the service has been rushed and I figured it was because they were busy (I would go on weekends). Went back today two hours before closing (got in at 5 and they close at 7). I was scheduled to have an appointment with Kathy, although after I got there and checked in it was changed to someone else (which I did not ask for). Service once again felt rushed and left with my nails being uneven (on both hands). The employees are always nice, however I left very upset with how they were done. The nail lengths were uneven between fingers (couldn't take a pic of both hands next to each other) and my thumb nail wasn't straight. I will be going somewhere else to get them fixed now and no longer going back.

    Acrylic no chip

    Came for a spa day with my friend and got my toes and acrylics done. The ladies were so sweet and we both love the way they did our nails! We walked in at a perfect time when they weren't already busy so there was little to no wait time.

    dip full set- short almond

    Fantastic service! Made an appointment the night before and was very happy with my classic pedicure and dip powder full set.

    Abstract nails

    Went to this place for the first time after my friend recommended it and I was so happy with my nails. My friend said she's been to multiple places and this one by far is the best and I can tell why. I wanted this design so I showed a photo and Nancy did such a great job with the design. Overall I will be going back!!

    One of the best manicures I've ever had! Thanks, Nancy!!!

    Love love. Got a last min appointment and walked in after I called. Got sat immediately and the work begun! This was quick and great, thanks so much! Will be back for sure.

    Example of what gel overlay is.

    I came in this afternoon with an appointment for a gel overlay. While the customer service was nice, I was lied to. Acrylic powder was applied to my nails, a gel top coat over that, and then the regular polish of my choice. I asked twice if the powder was acrylic because I'm not new to nail extensions, have discovered an allergy to acrylic, and I was skeptical. The tech (Kathy I believe) assured me it was a gel powder. After she completed the acrylic application, I asked, "is this gel powder that doesn't need to be cured..?" Again, she assured me it was gel. My appointment was at 2:30 and it is now 4:25 and my nail beds are burning. I enjoyed speaking with Kathy and she was very nice, but I won't recommend a business that outright lies and tries to take advantage of their customers.

    No chip acrylic fill w/ french tips
    Jackie T.

    I got a no chip acrylic fill-in with french tips and they look absolutely beautiful. Kathy took care of me, and after showing her the inspo I wanted for my nails, she did exactly what I was looking for. I have been going here for years now and they have never disappointed. Perfect nails for the holiday season.

    Acrylic full set
    Gillian W.

    I was a walk in here and they were able to take me right away. They did a great job with my acrylic set and were very friendly. They were also surprisingly speedy, but still good quality. Usually if a place is fast the quality is compromised, but they did a great job here! Will definitely be going back :)

    Bad nails

    Everyone was really nice. But the whole experience was unacceptable. I've had a full set for more than 5 years and the girl who tried to do my nails couldn't even hold a drill right and was drilling over the same spot on each nail trying to get the paint off. I was in the chair for 20+ min and she couldn't get regular no chip off my nails?? All I wanted was a standard fill in. I ended up leaving because it was so ridiculous and I didn't trust her with the rest of the process/health of my nails. It was almost laughable and scary. Second time I've tried it here and they just aren't quality for the neighborhood/prices. I ended up going around the corner and it was an amazing experience. Even that tech was shocked at the weirdness this girl left my nails.

    Two weeks later & my mani & pedi both look great!!
    Danielle S.

    My mani pedi was well done & walk ins were available when I went. Quick service & no problems with over clipping/cuticles etc. the place could use some updating, but it reminded me of an old style nyc nail sa

    Kathy called me to discuss the matter and to make everything right. She gave me a call with an apology and has offered a full refund.

    The Loop

    I came by for a brow wax after reading the solid reviews. This benefit brow bar is inside the…read moreBenefit boutique in the State St Macys. It's located by the State and Washington intersection entrance. There were 4 associates when I went. There's the retail section that has most of the benefit products for sale. There are multiple stations that are open to the rest of the department store. Booking online was quick and seamless. They had same day appointments so I was easily able to drop in. They were fairly busy so I'd recommend an appointment but they do take walk ins. Humberto helped me and was super sweet and nice. He explained exactly what he was doing and had me go through the brow shape in the mirror for each side of my face. He worked quickly and touched up my wax with tweezers and I was in and out pretty shortly. Prices were transparently displayed and they take tip in cash or card. Would recommend for a quick brow place in the loop. They also do lamination, threading, and tinting here.

    I've been a customer and client at this specific Benefit Brow Bar for over 10 years. I've been a…read moreloyal client for brow aestheticians here from Cherie, to Vanessa, to Mercedes, to Cathy, to DeAndre over the years, as well as meeting, on several occasions, the district manager at the time, Jae. From these past visits, I've never had a negative experience with them. Today, I came into Benefit on State Street and I receive a brow waxing service from Shavece. She was kind and had great conversation - and also did a great job on my brows. However, towards the end of my service, Shavece takes a purple paste and applies it (she took it past my eyes, and I could not see in the moment what was actually happening, as my eyes were opening and closing during the wax), but I could feel it being applied. She says "I'm just adding our special paste and it'll take all of the dirt and debris out of your pimple". OK.. I know that Benefit offers eye masks during their service, so maybe this is something that will enhance my service? I asked her to remove it, because I do not ask for it. Shavece wipes off the paste and begins to squeeze the pimple that is on my forehead. I ask "excuse me, what are you doing?" She says "sorry I just think this pimple is ready up come to a head... that doesn't hurt does it?" I respond "yes that hurts a lot, please stop". She continues and I say "please leave my pimple alone, this is not what I came in here for". She says "ok sorry". She then gives me a mirror to look at my brows, and I see that the pimple that's on my forehead is now bleeding, purple, more inflamed and irritated. I'm not someone who pops my pimples, and I for sure did not come into Benefit for my brow aestheticians to pop it during a service that was booked for an eyebrow wax - especially without my consent. I asked her for a tissue as the bump was bleeding pretty bad and I needed to stop the blood. She proceeds to check me out and asks "did you want to leave a tip?" A tip that I would give is not to touch parts on a customers face that is not given permission to do so. I did not come in for a pimple consultation. I did not come in for a pimple treatment. I did not come in to get "pimple paste". I called the brow bar directly and spoke with the manager, Mariaelena, and she basically upheld what the aesthetician did. She claimed that popping pimples and applying pimple paste was a part of the service. Never in my 15 years of coming to benefit have I ever had that done. I've had pimples on my forehead or on my face before, while being serviced at the many locations I've visited, and no aesthetician has ever done this. If you're touching someone's face, it should never be something that the aesthetician simply chooses to do - and if it's brought to the managers attention, there should be more sincerity and apology towards the customer. You don't just start extracting a customers pimple or something on their face without their consent as I could be allergic or have skin that is sensitive to certain products, which I do. That's not a part of the waiver that sign before initiating the service and I was extremely dissatisfied. I came in for a brow wax - and I'm not sure if she assumed that she was being helpful, but this experience has deterred me from returning to this Benefit location in the future.
