She's done lash extensions and lash tints for me, as well as microblading and permanent makeup. She did my brows and permanent eye liner about two years ago and they are flawless. She is very detail oriented and makes sure everything is just right (and also numb!) before she starts. I have very light hair and fair skin and the brows and liner are perfect. They look completely natural, even when I'm not wearing any other makeup. I came to her Geneva location to get my annual touch up. As always - she took her time and made sure my brows and eye liner were perfect. The Geneva location is lovely - relaxing and clean and in a great spot in the downtown area. Parking was easy and there's a great coffee shop next door.

I was not going to pay her more money to discuss her mess up. I would never want to write a bad review so I didn't for a very long time but for the past 8 months every time I look in the mirror I get more upset that my brows are a completely different brown and darker than the first session.

From the moment I met Joanna for my consultation she put me at ease. She answered all my questions from her sanitation method (new disposable tools are used) to how often she replaces her pigments (she runs out of them fairly quickly way before their expiration date). I had initially intended to have the hybrid (microblading and powder) service, but Joanna was truthful and upfront with me. She explained that due to my oily skin complexion I would not get the desired result from microblading as the strokes will be muddy and blurred once healed because of the excess oil my skin produces. I really appreciated her honesty. I'm also glad that Joanna took her time getting to the desired eyebrow shape and color that I wanted. Every decision from shape to color I was included in which made me feel that she truly listens. She also made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole process insuring that there was enough numbing cream where I didn't have to feel a thing other than what felt like a nice massage on my eyebrows. My first session was on May 30th where I'll share a before and after photo. My 2nd session was on July 16th and am currently in the healing process. I will update with the final results once healed. Having done this has made me more confident. My face looks more defined because I have eyebrows again. I had over tweezed them in my teens where I was left with no shape and sparse, thin eyebrow hair. I don't wear makeup daily so I didn't want to draw in eyebrows with a bare face, and I didn't want to spend 15mins drawing them in each time. Joanna has given me beautiful, natural looking brows! Thank you, Joanna for your lovely work!

I ended up going back to get permanent makeup due to her work ethic and I am beyond pleased! Not only did she make the process beyond comfortable but her attention to detail exceeded my expectations. I've had permanent makeup done before and she raised the bar beyond comparison. The end results are amazing and I've gotten endless compliments and I would go back again without a second thought.

I just had the most unprofessional experience with Anna from AK Microblading for a lash service…read more She does not clearly define on her website what her services are, how they are performed and who is a good candidate and a high risk candidate. I booked an appointment- first of all i had to chase after her to get the address - by the way - her salon is in her kitchen, its not a real salon. Then i show up within the grace window and she was just going on and on about being late. However, i arrived within the window. Next we start our consultation- only to find out im a bad candidate for her standard classic lash service. Then she kept trying to upsell me for a more expensive service (UV)which conveniently i would be a good candidate for. When i declined, she wasn't willing to give me a credit for a different service - she just kept saying "you signed the waiver, so im not giving you anything back" Terrible professionalism and RUDE! Not to mention she doesn't clearly spell out on her website you have to come back to her to have lashes removed for $35. Dont trust her. This is a shady business out of her kitchen! Run to a real salon!

Years ago my aunt from Australia came to visit and I never realized how nice and bright her lips…read morewere. I complimented her on the fullness and brightness of her lips, and that's when she stated to me that she had a lips tattooed.... Immediately after, I knew I would have to get mine tattoo/tinted because how good it looked. I was very hesitant on where to go because this is permanent, and its on my face.. FINALLY after looking for the right person, I found Robyn at Ink & Arch, and I am SO glad I did. Robyns work is so beyond what this review can describe. From the moment I walked into her studio I felt like I made the right decision. She took her time penciling out my lip line before she got started tattooing. The lining was clean and accurate, she checked in with me the whole time to make sure how I felt about it. She did great penciling out my lips so I trusted her to proceed. We looked at colors, which she has very many of and I chose a pinkish/light red color (mixed two colors together) After the tattoo processing began, I was nervous naturally and of course it hurt just a bit but this is all expected. Robyn checked on me throughout the whole appointment to make sure I was ok! Upon completion, Robyn pulled up a mirror to my lips, I was in complete shock-- I absolutely LOVED my lips, the lining was FLAWLESS. I honestly couldn't believe how great my lips looked. The best feeling is waking up in the morning and looking lively because of my lips. I have received tons of compliments on my lips, sometimes I want to play it off like its my natural lip but I cannot because that means I wouldn't be able to rave about Robyn work. If you have the slightest inclining that you want to do it, just book, she will not disappoint! Ps- PRIOR to my appointment with Robyn, I was planning on getting fillers after my lips healed from the tattoo. I no longer needed to do that because the color added so much fullness and boldness to my lips so I decided to skip out on the fillers. I am so happy with my decision!

I found her to be unprofessional in the way that she conducts business. I won a "contest" from her…read morefor a free eyebrow tattooing which I was super excited about. She cancelled the first appointment we set up because of something that came up with her son. No problem. When another appointment was set and I got to her salon, she became brisk with me when she saw that what I really needed was a fix to previously tattooed brows that were done with ink that she said was the wrong kind. Since there were no qualifiers to the contest, I had no idea that I would be a problem. At that point, she acted like she wouldn't honor the "free" element to this deal and I told her I was willing to pay for the extra it would take for her to fix my brows. Her work was good but after the initial appointment where she attempted to lift some of the bad color (which I paid her to do), I went in for a second appointment to get the brows colored. Again, I paid her something for doing that. I needed a third appointment (which she indicated I needed) but she no longer returned my calls when I was attempting to set something up. The whole experience left me wondering how she manages to stay in business. She could use a lesson or two in how to treat people.

That's some serious commitment. That was more than enough to convince me to try her out. I started using Liz as soon as I moved and have been using her ever since. It has been about 3 years. Full transparency, I have tried other lash services in Chicago over the years in hopes to eliminate making the drive to the suburbs every few weeks. Let me tell you, it has never been worth it. The quality of Liz's services, lashes and technique by far surpass any of the other companies or products I have tried...and there have been many. I finally stopped trying other places because why mess with a good thing ;) For those of you who are reading reviews for cost purposes, I will let you know that she comes in very competitively. In my opinion, where she beats everyone coming in the same range, is the length of time the lashes actually stay on. Most places advertise three weeks, but I have only successfully experienced that with Liz. Aside from my personal love for my lashes, I am constantly getting compliments on the uniqueness of my lashes and the quality. I highly recommend her.

I've been seeing Julie for a few years now and she's always given the best-in-class service leaving me looking and feeling great. Aside from the high-quality job her prices are super competitive compared to big brand names and commercial enterprises who offer the same within the area and charge twice as much and take twice as long. That being said, it's a no-brainer to go with Julie as her skill is in a top-tier class all on its own. Aside from this, Julie is very personable, and it feels like interacting with a friend for a more humanized experience vs something transactional as just another customer/client. This adds a layer of personal touch thus she makes you feel understood with a more consultative approach to understanding human relations as much as she knows the technicalities of her services and skin care itself. Which is a great foundation of Face Value Beauty Bar being so successful. All in all, if you're reading this then without a doubt, I highly recommend Julie for your waxing and skin care needs. You'll love the outcome of the services you get, how you look, and how you feel! I 100% guarantee it!
