Michael Meyer's talent is immeasurable…read more I never believed eyebrow shaping, lash tinting, and custom blend makeup was an art form until I met Michael Meyer many, many years ago at Mon Ami. My hair stylist at the time was located at this small salon on Oak and introduced me to Michael. Thanks to Michael, my eyebrows have never looked better; my makeup never felt so light and natural. If it couldn't get any better, it did -- the handmade creations, tints and brow shaping outlasted anything that I have ever used prior, making each purchase and visit well worth every dollar spent. His genius goes a long way, instructing, advising and explaining as he works; taking his time in every movement, stroke, pluck, color mix and more. My original hair stylist is a distant memory as I struck gold in finding and then following Michael wherever he goes. The addiction has spread to my mother who comes in from Indiana, my aunts, friends and clients. Whenever one of my clients has a special event, wedding or just wants to look beautiful, I recommend Michael. He never disappoints. For someone so gifted to work on photo shoots and celebrities, you would think snobbery would be a factor. Not the case. Michael is professional, friendly, gentle and generous. Answering his own phone, making his own appointments, treating every client elegantly, he's one of a kind. Now, My Brows My Makeup is Michael's sole creation, located in the Taylor-Reese Salon. Venturing on his own, more popular then ever, Meyer is proving yet again that doing it his way is the best way.

Michael is nothing short of A-MAZING! He has been tweezing, and shaping my brows since I moved to…read moreChicago in October 2001. When I first moved to Chicago, my brows were "so thin" - and he was awesome in helping me shape and design a new brow as they grew in. I won't let anyone other than Michael touch my meticulously groomed brows - and its been close to 16 years since Michael created my new look! But our relationship has grown beyond just being my brow specialist - in 2005, Michael was the master behind my gorgeous wedding makeup. He has been there for me for numerous occasions - my wedding shower; my rehearsal dinner; my wedding; my baby shower; holiday parties; weddings, or just when I want to look and feel beautiful. When Michael creates my "look" - I look gorgeous and I feel so much more confident. He will even make a "house call" when I suddenly decide that I need my brows and/or make-up done last minute. Michael has even volunteered to go make-up shopping with me - and teach me how to apply my own make-up. Who does that???? MICHAEL!!!!!!!! Having my make-up done has seriously become an addiction! Michael is beyond amazing - and he is so fantastic at what he does! Whether he is creating my own personalized and customized blended J. LO bronzer/shimmer or creating a fabulous look to go with my fashion-forward ensemble, I know that I can rely and depend on Michael to always come through for me with a gorgeous make-up application that will even stretch to a 2nd day! Thank you Michael for coming into my life and for always being my go-to guy for make-up and brows.

Extremely disappointed with my eyebrow services with Jamie. I was a new client. Went there based…read moreon the positive reviews. First, the environment was not very welcoming or friendly, I felt entirely out of place. Didn't feel like I was greeted warmly, very impersonal. Jamie didn't engage in any small talk/pleasantries. The minimal conversation with me was forced. Didn't even call me by my name when she came from the back to get me when it was time for my appointment. Somewhat pretentious environment. Felt out of place and uncomfortable. As to the services, I was super proud of myself, It had been four or five months since I had last had my eyebrows done, so I had a lot to work with (or so I thought). I showed Jamie pictures from her Instagram page of how I wanted my eyebrows. She didn't really seem too enthusiastic to want to give me a nice arch and/or make my eyebrows pretty. Instead, she asked me if I ever had my eyebrows waxed. I was extremely offended by that question, I am 52 years old, of course I have had my eyebrows waxed before. In fact, not only have I had my eyebrows waxed before, I have had them tweezed, threaded, trimmed, tinted, laminated, the whole nine yards. I have used every eyebrow growth serum known to man. I felt like I was pegged as this "dowdy," "matronly" person who for my entire life either never had my eyebrows done, or if I did, that it was at Walmart for the $5.00 bargain basement eyebrow threading special. When I said I wanted my eyebrows to be nicely arched Jamie again didn't seem too enthusiastic and said that she will "clean them up" and put a little henna on them. Okay great, clean them up, fine, of course, but cleaning up and arching are too different things. Anyone can "clean up" eyebrows, I don't need to go to a salon to remove the stray hairs underneath the body of the eyebrows themselves, I can do that at home, it's the arching that is what is the important part. Also discussed lamination. I have had lamination once or twice before and I think they left it on too long because my eyebrows were brittle. Jamie has pictures of "buttery" laminated eyebrows on her Instagram page. I asked her about lamination/her thoughts if I could get the pretty laminated brows like the pics on her Instagram page and she really didn't respond or further discuss this with me. Again, I felt like I was pegged as this dowdy, matronly person who wasn't worthy of having pretty eyebrows, that anything would be good enough for me. So after twenty minutes and $60.00 later, (not to mention the $15.00 cash tip), my eyebrows Iook no different than when I walked in there, actually they look worse. The hairs underneath the body of the eyebrows were removed, and henna was thrown on there, and that was about it. No sculpting, barely any clipping, I have eyebrow hairs on top/within the body of the eyebrows that are sticking straight up they are so long, they weren't even touched, no brushing up of these eyebrows, no trimming. Likewise, there was no brushing down/trimming of the super long eyebrow hairs on the bottom eyebrow area, there are some eyebrow hairs that are almost an inch long that should have been groomed/trimmed. Also the same is true for the extreme ends/tail areas of my eyebrows. No trimming/no removal of extremely long hairs at the extreme ends/tail area. Eyebrow hairs that should have been removed weren't, eyebrow hairs that shouldn't have been removed were removed. Basically waxed off the outgrowth underneath the body of the brow, threw some henna on, and good enough. In retrospect, I should have just gone to Walmart for the $5.00 special, I would have $55.00 more in my pocket. Not a good experience at all. Even if I was asked to come back in for Jamie to spruce them up on a "gratis" basis I would decline. Very disappointed, to say the least. On a scale of one to ten, ten being excellent, the best ever, one being the worst experience, two through nine being in the middle, this experience is definitely a solid one.

Excellent touchup of micro, blading eyebrows by expert aesthetician, Jenna! Greeted warmly by Jenna…read moreand her able assistant, CJ, where he applied Novacaine on eyebrows immediately because it takes about 10 to 15 minutes to take effect. Jenna checked with me how I want my eyebrows and I left it up to her expertise. Loved how she recommended extending the end tips a little bit more and using a dark brown/black color versus all black to help me look a little younger! Yes please!! Plus microblade w feather strokes & smooth shading. Location is conveniently in River North with ample street meter parking, especially during the day. Beauty suite is within a very nice office building with easy access. Follow up in two weeks to make sure eyebrows are to my satisfaction.

My skin glowed for days and I typically have extremely dry skin. She's extremely knowledgeable with skincare, explains what she is doing and lets me know how my skin (dry!) seemed to be reacting. A+ for facials! Lashes: I've only ever had one person touch my lashes before and I was super nervous to try someone new. She made me feel comfortable, the room is super clean and she listened to what I wanted (and what I specifically did not!) -- which is key to getting lashes that you're comfortable with. I loved my natural, lengthy lash extensions and would definitely recommend this service too. Overall, come visit! I prefer custom, relaxing services as opposed to going to a bustling place, so this spa is perfect.

It did take longer than the average set of lashes but that is expected for a good set of lashes. Sandra took her time to ensure that the lashes were done correctly and I never felt rushed. I waited till the next morning to give more feedback to see if the lashes would stick together but to my surprise I found them looking perfect when I woke up. I also noticed that no lashes have fallen out in my sauna time. Yes I know I am not supposed to do that but how am I suppose to know if they are durable or not? I like to push the lashes to limit to see how durable they are. Next is the wet sauna.

High praise for Anna's work here. I had bought a groupon for a 90 minute facial from Anna for an…read moreinsane $69, so wasn't expecting superstar work. I call on a Thursday trying to get an appointment for the next week, she squeezes me in on Sunday afternoon. For me, there are two things that define a good facial. 1) Thorough extractions with no scarring, and 2) the therapist doesn't leave the room for extended periods of time while you steam or have a mask. The first time I went in, Anna probably spent 30-40 minutes doing extractions after a thorough steam. Plus, she massaged my hands and shoulders while I was steaming or letting my mask dry. My face looked great. I have since been back for another facial and a microdermabrasion. The microderm did not cut my skin, and was glowing for days afterwards. If you missed the groupon, there's a pretty good chance she'll let you come in for your first appointment at the groupon price. The facility: is essentially in an office building, so don't expect a full spa with locker room and tea. If you want a lazy spa, spoilation day, this isn't your spot. If what you really want is your skin to be taken care of, then come see Anna. She can be a talker, so if you want silence during your treatment, make sure to let her know ahead of time.
