Her products are great and nor does she even push them on to you to purchase. I have had my make up done at your typical places and major stores and this is a total different level of personal service that you can't get these days. I would highly recommend Dawn! Thank you Dawn for making me feel good about myself again and knowing how to apply properly.

Linda makes you feel right at home the second you walk through her doors. Her studio is located in a fresh and clean updated building. I am greeted with a smile, a hug and some coffee if you so desire, every time! She really listens to what you want, looks at all your pictures of hair ideas if you bring them, gives her opinion of what style would look good on you and takes the time to point out how short it will be before even cutting a strand of hair. In the end, she wants to make sure you are satisfied and I always am. A+ experience from start to finish.

Thank you, Linda! Can't wait for my next visit!

After two refills I decided to look into better quality options and came across Hildy through Yelp, and I'm so glad I did. There is a big difference between Hildy's service and my experience at Amazing Lash. First of all, I could tell Hildy really cared about exactly what I wanted in a lash look, and about lash care and health. She's very accommodating, knowledgeable and professional. Her at home lash studio is very comfortable and clean, and her rates are fair - especially for the quality of her work. I also love how easy it is to schedule appointments - just a few quick texts and you're all set (she's very responsive and flexible with scheduling). I always leave loving my lashes and only need a fill about every 4 weeks (I had to go every 2 weeks at Amazing Lash because of the quality - I haven't done anything different care-wise). Go to Hildy for your lash extensions, you won't be disappointed!

Sadly this service showed absolutely no noticeable difference as far as I could see with my lashes. I'd get more definition with the cheapest mascara on the market. I was disappointed after laying there for an agonizing amount of time with my eyes closed and so still. The four stars are for Hildy's customer service. I felt so welcome and well taken care of the entire time. She was friendly and clearly had expert knowledge. She even gave me a blanket to make sure I was cozy and comfortable on the table. If I ever give extensions a try I will certainly be going back to her.

I brought in photos and when I say they delivered.....they delivered!!! I walked out of my trial looking better than expected and in my actual wedding day they stepped it all up and I felt perfect. I am usually very hesitant to get my makeup done because of my pore size and early stages of maturing skin but I looked flawless. I wanted a non-traditional bride look with a rust eye and berry lip. But still natural- Eliana hit it perfectly. With hair up-dos I find that I'll show a picture and they talk me into a slightly different version of what I brought in- not Deb. She was like- absolutely and then added more oomph to the pictures I showed her. I went with clip-in extensions (a ton of them), half up, boho fishtail braids throughout and a ethereal bridal headpiece. These two were magic and I couldn't recommend them enough to make you look spectacular on your special day. I also had them do the hair and makeup for my mom and sister-in-laws- everyone was super happy with their look, and they are all picky!! These two are perfection!

Thanking them for their website where I was able to read personal bios and reviews and figured out that Amy Doda was my best option. What really drew me to her was reading other reviews how she will cut your hair as close to pictures as possible. Upon entering, I was greeted and I was heard! She understood the assignment and I love that she's a visionary, she can picture everything in her head beforehand. We had good casual convo and I really liked how the haircut turned out. It's really tough to find a good hairdresser these days and I think this has been the best one I've found to date in or around park ridge! The owner is also extremely friendly! Highly recommend!

Plenty of chairs ready to zhuzh you up! I did both wax and threading since I'm partial to wax and she assured me threading is a great complement.
