Xia has fit me in for lash fills twice now early in the morning before I needed to rush for work. She's fast, thorough and transparent. I look forward to returning for a full set with her. No coffee before your appointment! Parking around the area is a bit of a challenge but street parking is what I go with. read more

Space did not seem clean and sanitized. Services were low quality and not worth the money.

Very unprofessional. I booked a lash lift 3 weeks in advance. Two days before my appointment the owner Xiya texts me saying the appointment is canceled because Anna no longer works there. But my appointment was booked with Xiya (the owner) and NOT Anna, so why is the appointment canceled? She didn't even offer an apology for the cancellation. Not a great way to treat a repeat customer. Now I'm left scrambling to find lashes elsewhere before I leave town for my birthday. I DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

I walked in for an eyebrow wax at Linxia (no appointment). It is in an office-type building where you walk into the lobby and there is a receptionist who sends you up to the proper floor. They do not do threading, but the eyebrow wax was not painful and my eyebrows look good. The esthetician was very professional and polite. The salon was clean and modern. read more

Do not recommend for lash lift - I should have listened to the other review. The space: the space itself doesn't have a vibe - it seems like some abandoned studio, and there's a lot of random stuff on the floor (pillows, a yoga mat etc) as if someone sleeps there. The lash lift: Anna was my technician. You can clearly see in the photo that she had overprocessed my lash, making it bent, curled and twisted. She put primer on the tips of my lashes which you are NOT supposed to do since the tips of the lashes are thinner. When I pointed this out to her, she basically said that all she did was comb them up, there was nothing she could do. Despite my unatisfaction she still charged me the full 95, and when i walked out she had the audacity to ask for tip. Please do not come here. read more

Great wax service. It was not painful the first two times but was on the third - I was told I waited too long between appointments ... note to self - don't make that mistake again! I like that they have a lot of weekend availability, especially Sundays - which works better for my schedule. read more

literally the WORST lash lift I've ever gotten. both Anna and the other girl are nice but I'd take bad service anyday if it meant I'd get the lashes I wanted. my lashes are hard, clumpy, and there is glue all over my eyelid/eyelashes. when i called back to voice my frustrations Anna just suggested i wash them with water, but everyone who gets lash lifts knows you're not supposed to wet them in the first 24 hours. i am beyond frustrated as i paid a good amount just to leave with hard lashes that look SHORTER than my natural ones. to be fair, the lash extensions i have gotten here have been fine. don't come here for lash lifts! read more

Linxia Beauty Works - clumped, going different directions, and some aren't even curled. also peep the glue everywhere (this is after i cleaned them!!!) - Eyelash Service Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Anyone who knows me will tell you I have no sort of makeup skills. I try but Zi usually just add a little eye liner and eyebrow powder and I am good. My friend is going to have a Carribean wedding and I knew I would sweat like no other there! So I thought false eylashes always gives a pop on girls and you do not have to worry about putting liner or mascara. I searched all over but was skeptical with stars and reviews until I found Linxia beauty. I was amazed at how many reviews they had and ALL 5 stars. This put me at ease IMMEDIATELY! I have never done eyelash extensions before but I was adamant to give it a try and now I believe I am hooked! Anna was the one who put them on for me! She was so sweet and looked at my eyes and let me know what she thought was best for me. Being a noob, I just told her I trusted hers. The process was really not uncomfortable for the most part. I think I was just apprehensive and eyes twitched a lot but she was so patient! I really thought once I open my eyes it would sting and it did the first time but now I feel like nothing is there!!! Like seriously it feels great! The natural look of the extensions was exactly what I wanted! No wonder they have 5 star reviews from everyone!! The only thing I was a little sad about is that before I booked my appointment I called because I found a Groupon. Very good deal for full eyelash extension plus 2 week touchup for $129! I let Linxia know and she said she would honor the price of Groupon and I did not need to buy through Groupon. I took a screenshot to make sure. That day Groupon had a 20% off all purchases so it took my eyelash extension plus 2 weeks retouch down to $103!!! But I did not mention the extra 20% Groupon would have given me to Linxua so unfortunately I did not get the extra 20% discount. But regardless this is experience was so wonderful that I seriously would pay again when a special occasion comes! I will update in a few weeks to let you know how long the lashes last! read more

If you are ever in Chicago and need to get lashes, call her! She's so meticulous and takes her time to make your lashes look perfect. I also got my brows done by Xia. She's AMAZING, and understands your style completely. read more

- Clean and comfortable - Caring staff - Flawless application I don't get "fancy" things like this done regularly, but decided to get my lashes done for a professional headshot and wasn't quite sure what to expect. My biggest concern was looking too "over-done" for a professional photo, but I was very pleasantly surprised by the experience at Linxia! I got the perfect natural look I was hoping for. I'm also a very type-A person and was impressed with how even, straight, and well-approximated the application was! The lady who did my lashes was SO sweet and easy to talk to, and took the time beforehand to discuss what kind of look and length I wanted to go for. She was also very proactive and attentive to making sure I was comfortable with the protective lower-lid tape (I have a small face and it slid up a few times when we were chatting). I got the impression she really cares about her customers. I will definitely be back any time I want to try lashes again! read more

I was worried that eyelash extensions would give me an allergic reaction but I didnt get any allergic reactions. I loved how my eyelashes looked and the staff was so considerate and skillful. Highly recommend it!!!!!!! read more

I come here for waxing. Good service and good place. Speedy but keeps the quality. Would recommend.

Starting coming to Xia for brazilian wax after things opened back up, and she did a great job with me after such a long time. She is very professional and loves what she does. Came back a second time and it was very fast! She uses a combination of soft and hard wax that is very efficient and effective. I hate to be laying there for 30+ min, but you don't have to worry about that with Xia. I also got lash extensions on my last visit and they are exactly how I wanted them. I will be a return customer for a long time!! read more

THE BEST WAXING EXPERIENCE EVER. I was here from LA and I wish I lived in Chicago after coming here! First it was the least painful wax I've ever had. And so fast too! Also I asked her to wax my brows and she said I didn't need it. I really appreciate that kind of above and beyond service. She couldn't taken my money for something I didn't need. But instead she put me the customer first. If you live in Chicago or passing through, highly suggest this place!! read more

As you would expect, the Brazilian HURT. However, Xiya was so fast, it made the process much more bearable. She was so sweet and made me feel very comfortable. On top of that, I didn't leave with any lingering soreness (which I've experienced at other waxing salons). I'll definitely be back! read more

I have had three appointments with Linxia Beauty Works! I have tried out two suburban lash salons and three city lash salons. Linxia Beauty Works does the best lashes, beautiful but still natural. I also have never had a reaction to any of the products they use. My lashes are in perfect condition for 2+ weeks. She is very welcoming and the appointment lasts about an hour. Her office is welcoming and comfortable. I recently moved and drive an hour to get my lashes done here. There is pay to park street parking or a garage. She is easy to schedule with and responds to inquiries quickly. If you are looking to try out lash extensions, be sure to check out Linxia Beauty. read more

Ana is amazing . She always delivers consistently! Beautiful lashes. I get so many compliments every time I get them. Only downside for me is location... hard/impossible to find parking. read more

I am soooo glad I chose this location to do my FIRST Brazilian wax. I am visiting from out of town and decided to find a place to do the wax. Upon reading the other 5 start reviews, I new Linxia was the place. Xina was so welcoming and nice. Upon entering the room, I was really nervous and she assured me that it I would be ok and proceeded to tell me details of the process. The salad was clean, she worked quick , used too quality wax and as it did hurt little it wasn't as bad as I thought. I was actually laughing all the was through my service. Lol. But this is a top notch salon and service. It is highest recommended. My ONLY regret is that I don't live here, and have to find some wine equally as good in Boston. Thank you Xia!!!! read more

Waxing emergency---my usual waxer has decided to move out of my regular traveling area. Xiya to the rescue!!!!! Found Xiya on yelp---and with all the fab reviews I had to give her a try. Close to work---Yay! Easy to get to--Yay! Online Booking---same day too---double yay! She was very thorough, personable, and definitely knew what she was doing. My lady parts and faux unibrow thank you! Cash is King and definitely gets you a discount on services. Easy Peasy! Will definitely be back! read more

Really quality work from Xiya. She helped me with a fill before going on a trip and did some nice recovery on my lashes. She basically did surgery on my lashes, redid some clumpy ones, cleaned them, removed glue and made them more fluffy! I can tell she has pride in what she does and she's super gentle. I was falling asleep so hard I started snoring!!! read more

Great service, always on time! Have gotten a Brazilian twice here now and Linxia is quick and efficient. Will continue to go back. read more

Xiya is so nice and she made my boring lashing come to life!! She gave me tips on how to take care of my lashes as well. Will def come back for my refills!! read more

Went in for a waxing with Anna, she was great I barely felt any pain during the waxing. She was very informative on post instructions. I can not wait to come back for another wax and also for lashes! read more

Love this place. I called after not seeing availability on the website and found she was going on vacation. She squeezed me in the next day! And the bikini, brow and lip came out just as I wanted. read more

Friendly, professional, clean. Great service, she took her time to make sure I got the length and style of lashes I wanted. Also did a great brow tint. Nice location. Highly recommend. read more

Completely trust Xia with my brows! Xia is tedious but also efficient. Can't say that anyone else has ever made my brows look so symmetrical and naturally looking at the same time. Highly recommend her! read more

I was recommended by a friend to Linxia Beauty Works when I expressed interest in getting eyelash extensions. During my first appointment, I was extremely nervous (as well as excited), but Xiya had me feeling comfortable after a couple of minutes. She explained the options to me and showed me samples of the lashes she would be using. She even recommended me what lengths and curls would work best for my eye shape. The process takes about an hour or so. So relax and get comfortable. Xiya also makes great conversation. I now have been coming to Xiya for about a year and I will not go anywhere else. She is nice, professional, and efficient. If you are in the market for lash extensions, then don't look any further. Xiya gets booked up pretty quickly, so definitely plan in advance and make your appointment. read more

I got my lashes done by Anna. I was really excited to come to Linxia for my first eyelash extensions session, however my lashes fell off less than 1.5 weeks after getting them done. I had to come back even before the 2 week touchup because all the lashes on my left eye fell off, so I looked ridiculous with lashes on only my right eye. After my 1.5 week touchup, the majority of my lashes fell off less than a week later again. They also were out of place and pointing in every direction imaginable (not pretty). I took really good care of them after the first set and touchup, making sure not to exercise (sweat), go in the steam room/sauna/, shower, or get them wet the first 48 hours. Not sure why they fell off so quickly, but I was pretty disappointed. Asides from the eyelash extensions, I got my brows waxed here by Xia, and they turned out nicely. read more

Xiya waxed and used henna to tint my eyebrows. I could not be more happy with the result. The salon was easy to find and very clean. Had good conversation -- couldn't have asked for a better first time experience! read more

Updating my review because this last appointment was not a great experience. And I hate to post this, because she is truly attentive and efficient. But this last time, she left my brow area bleeding and my brows sloppy and uneven. I probably won't be returning and will go back to my old brow person once my skin heals. read more

I saw these reviews and my inner cynic said, "There are only a few reviews, they are all 5 star reviews, and they all spelled the esthetician's name correctly. You know that these were written by her friends and the service will be a terrible experience. You are too smart to fall for this." I'm so glad that I ignored that voice. This was a terrific experience. I have nothing but great things to say about Xiya (whose name I only knew how to spell thanks to the other reviewers). Background: I was overdue for a Brazilian wax. Since moving back to Chicago, I haven't found someone who I wanted to visit more than once. I booked an appointment with another person at a salon earlier this week, but she was fired the day before my appointment; I got very lucky! I checked lifebooker to find an appointment that I could fit in before I started travelling and luck brought me to Linxia Beauty Works. The Appointment: I booked my appointment online for the next day and received a confirmation call within an hour of booking. Xiya asked if this was my first time and if I had any questions. The space is in an office building and when getting off of the elevator, you are pretty sure that you are in the wrong place. Once you go into the work space, it is clean, quiet and so easy. I was dreading this appointment because I was overdue. I went in knowing that this was going to hurt and it would take longer than usual. I was so wrong. I was in and out of the room (including dressing and undressing time) in 17 minutes. (I happened to notice the clock when I entered and exited.) I was in and out in record time, but I never felt rushed. This was probably the least painful overdue wax that I've experienced. She distracts you with conversation and coaches you through the worst parts. And did I mention that she did a perfect job. I don't think that she missed a single hair. She mentioned that she had recently moved to this location, which explains why there were so few reviews. Ignore your inner cynic. Go here. Below are just a few reasons why you should go: * This place is SO close to my office. Odds are that it is close to your office, too. If it isn't close to your office, it is at least directly across from the Wabash entrances to Marshall Fields; so it's close to shopping. * Xiya is sweet, professional, and FAST; I mean fast. I can schedule my follow-up appointments during lunch and still have time to eat lunch. * This is the least painful waxing experience that I've had that was also a good wax. I've found that the less painful waxes don't always get every hair, but sometimes just break the hair. This waxing was ideal. * Package pricing is insane. I haven't paid so little for a B-wax since NYC. To sum up. You need to change estheticians unless you are already seeing Xiya. read more

Yura is amazing! She has been doing my lashes for a couple of months now and they are wonderful. I usually get touch ups every three to four weeks and they look great even when it's time for a touch up! She really does care about my lashes and uses extensions that are not harsh to my natural lash! Recommend anyone to come here read more

Xiya is the best. I wanted to remove my extensions from another salon because it was irritating my eye. She was the closest one to my workplace, so I called to make an appointment. She explained each step as she's removing them from my eye, as I've never done it before. She was gentle, and knowledgeable. My lashes were removed with no trouble at all. If I ever get extensions again, I'm coming back to her! read more

Oh, ladies. This woman is wonderful. I had my first experience with lash extensions and she was so wonderful throughout the whole experience. She talked me through which length to pick (especially as a first timer), how she was going to put them on, etc. It was so weird while she was doing it (eyes taped shut, sitting under a light...), but I was so incredibly happy with the results. I visited her before my bridal shower (services completed on June 8th) and although almost all of mine have fallen off, I still have 3 lashes holding strong! It actually cracks me up. I am so excited to book her again to get this done for my wedding day - everyone noticed how amazing my eyes looked. They couldn't pick out exactly what it was about them that really popped, but when I told them I had extensions, they lost their minds over it. It helps that she is so good at what she does!! read more

I made this apptmt because I had purchased a lifebooker loot for extensions. Message me if you want the code. See-ya (how you pronounce her name) is extremely nice! This is inside of Cindy's. My lashes looked good...not as great as my normal girl, however Xiya told me that she is just starting out and trying to get better and faster. I appreciate that. I really did like them. Also, it took a bit longer than I am used to (2+ hours), however she was extremely thorough. I also like that she is super close to me and has online scheduling! YAY! I am definitely going to continue to try to check her out and see her price range for fills, etc. read more

I love Xia! She is a great professional and an amazing person. I always do my lashes at Linxia beauty, and every time I am very satisfied! read more

Xiya Lin did my service today and it was amazing! I had a brazilian and she was so fast and gentle. I will absolutely be coming back!

Great Place! Xiya recently moved to this location in downtown and once you enter the spa you definitely feel relaxed. The atmosphere is calming and best of all it's in a great downtown location, easy access from most (if not all) "L" Trains. Xiya is GREAT! She's patient, gentle and makes you feel very comfortable and relaxed. Not to mention, she has great package deals and in return, you get great service for a really good price. If you give Xiya a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

I'm not a big fan of eyelash extensions, mainly because they look fake and I dunno....the idea of having glue so close to my precious eyes? now, would i trust anyone to mess with my eyes?!?! aaaaaah...i don't think so.. I've known Xiya's work for quite some time and every time I've been pleasantly surprise. Not only did she do an amazing job, my lashes look sooooo natural! she was so receptive to what i wanted....(not too dramatic, as natural as possible look)...and wow, did she nailed it! my bf loved it and he was even more surprise than me at how natural the look was! now, onto the experience itself....it was actually very relaxing, she was very careful, nice and easy to talk to....she just makes you feel that you are in the hands of a person who knows what she is doing.....I'm so happy with my lashes!!! read more

I highly recommend Linxia Beauty for eyelash extensions! I got my lashes done a few months ago for a vacation, but fell in love with them and have continued getting them done only at Linxia. Yura is an eyelash extension expert - she is very thorough, attentive, and takes her time. This shows as my lashes always turn out better than I expect and still look good a few weeks later! Yura also gives great lash advice and is such a sweet, calming person. I've become very loyal to her - I can't imagine going anywhere else! read more
