Later on, a random guy on the street even stopped to compliment how amazing my skin looked (and trust me, he definitely didn't see me before my appointment ). That alone says a lot about how good she is at what she does. If you're ever in need of a great facial, don't hesitate to book with my girl. She'll have you glowing and feeling gorgeous. Thank me later!

About two years ago I booked a facial with Facial Studio Magdalena, and I thought my esthetician…read moredid a really great job! She politely explained what each step was meant to do to my skin and the studio itself felt very clean and modern. My problem came after the appointment. The owner came out to sell me her "Acne Boot Camp" program and skincare line, which I declined because it was out of my budget and I explained that I already had products prescribed to me by my dermatologist. Upon eyeing my face (which was covered in hormonal acne at the time) she judgmentally said, "Well, clearly it's not working." I never went back. And, since following my dermatologist's advice, my skin has cleared up a LOT. I use tretinoin which is a very common treatment for acne but one of its side effects is skin purging; which to her looked like "clearly not working." I know this review is quite late, but I just remember leaving the appointment so embarrassed and frustrated. Acne is a sensitive topic for a lot of people--which is why I treated myself to a facial! I know it's not easy to run a business, but there is no justification for such behavior. And you won't be able to find me in your database under this name. My appointment was on (1/31/2024). Best of luck with everything, you have talented staff and I hope my experience was just a one-off issue.

The facial included hydration, exfoliation, cryotherapy, and targeted extractions to help remove acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation. It also comes with a lightweight peel option. I didn't try the peel this time, but I'm definitely planning to go back for it. I absolutely loved my experience. The place was very clean, well-maintained! Highly recommend this place! They also have a referral offer where both you and your friend get $15 off your next facial. Since this was my first visit, I also received a 15% discount.

I ended up with chemical peel that made my skin feel renewed and hydrated. My daughter made this reservation and I didn't know what to expect but everything went well. Victoria did my daughter's facial and she did amazing as well. Everyone seems knowledgeable when I asked them about the products they use for the facial. I love that everything is organic and all natural. When I come back to Chicago I will visit again! Parking- everyone knows that parking is hard in this location...so be prepared to walk.

Lucy, owner and master stylist at Lulu's Beauty Spa is truly an artist. I'm a senior woman who had…read morelash extensions done at a franchise salon. They were applied well but the look was just "meh" and I let them naturally fall out. I heard of Lucy and decided to give lashes another try. I asked her to first tint my blonde lashes so I would have a good base and also some color on the bottom lashes. After tinting, she began her magic. When she was done, and I looked in a mirror, I was amazed. It was exactly what I was hoping for. She followed my almond shaped eyes with her custom cat eye application. She truly is an artist. She made the lashes and cut them to fit my eyes precisely. I have gotten so many compliments. They look amazing and also natural. I'm hooked. My work zoom calls are elevated to a new level. Lucy also offers many services which I am looking forward to with complete confidence to scheduling. First up will be a facial. I clearly recommend Lucy and Lulu's Beauty Spa with no hesitation or reservation. It's a well decorated and clean space and you'll be very comfortable. Make an appointment, you'll be happy you did and may become addicted to her custom lashes.

Before going to Lucy, I got my lashes done by the same person for 7 years. However I decided to give Lucy's new business a try. I was so impressed I have remained a customer ever since.

This was such a great first facial experience for me! Amber told me what she was doing every step…read moreof the way. The whole thing was so relaxing; I could have easily passed out but I wasn't sure if that was frowned upon. Amber told me later that it happens a lot :D I've done a fair amount of my own research about certain ingredients. I'm not an idiot. I understand that she wants to sell products and I thought she did a nice job explaining the importance of a skincare regimen without seeming condescending or too pushy. I bought the sample sizes of the products she recommended and they're REALLY nice so she obviously knows what she's talking about. In addition to knowing that I was in capable hands, Amber is such a sweet person. She is really genuine and easy to talk to. Her Groupon deal is an absolute steal but I'll be back again for a full price service when she re-opens. I CAN'T WAIT. I recently had another facial with someone else and it did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for my skin so I am really missing Amber.

Sometimes I forget how beneficial a facial is to my complex oily-dry skin. When I first found…read moreAmber, I didn't hesitate to book her based on the amazing reviews she has, and I was not disappointed. It was early October and I was having some breakouts a bit more than usual, figured it was stress or hormones, maybe both. I was unsure what appointment to book as I don't treat myself to facials as often as I should, so I messaged Amber and got a response back immediately. She gave me a suggestion based on my skin type and I booked for an appointment that coming Saturday. When I walked into her room, she greeted me with a smile, and, a glass of wine! It was a delicious red blend, apothic maybe, and set me in such a relaxing mood while I filled out the new patient papers. Once we began the treatment, Amber did an amazing job at making sure I felt comfortable, and had a good understanding of what it was she was treating at that time. I'm a bit more curious than some, so asked questions, which she skillfully answered. After the treatment my skin felt so fresh and amazing, I was very impressed at what she was able to do. Also, I purchased a few of the products she offers, and I swear the Seaweed Oil I use is a godsend, and I don't know how I ever survived without it! My most recent visit to Amber was to focus on dry skin that the Chicago winter had caused on my face. As a Florida native, my body just will never get used to the cold weather. She was able to personalize her winter facial special to my skin type, and I left once again feeling even more hydrated and beautiful than before. Sadly, I have since relocated to Denver and can't visit Amber as frequently as I would like. But she is an absolute pleasure to meet in person and I would definitely try to come back next time I am visiting in Chicago.

I strongly recommend Francesca for all your waxing needs and want to share my experience of, maybe,…read moreclose to 5+ years. Francesca is the best waxing expert in Chicago! Any hair is completely gone or manicured with her precision, which extends the time between visits. And it's so easy to keep on track by booking appointments through the website. Not only is the service impeccable, but Francesca's customer experience goes beyond anyone who is providing waxing services. She truly cares about you, making sure you are well and is a great conversationalist! The experience is one-on-one and unlike any larger spa, since Francesca is an entrepreneur running her own business. But overall, her service is certainly more personable and caring compared to any spa I've been to. My family moved out of Chicago to Texas. And Francesca is so wonderful that I decided to continue to book my waxing needs and to catch up with her anytime I am back in Chicago, which is 1-2x per month. I absolutely love her and I'm sure you will too!

I wanted to add a lip and eye booster which was no problem. I found Vian Aesthetics through Hydrafacial's website and was happy with Nunzia's extended education through them. She also trains others in Hydrafacial too. Which I feel like when someone teaches it to others they know the ins and outs. This was my first time getting a hydrafacial. I saw the data and research about their efficacy and was nervous on finding a great provider. This could not have been a better spot for my first Hydrafacial. Since I live in another area Nunzia described and showed me some things to look out for and ask when I booked one where we live. I appreciate her helping me to become a more educated consumer! I really enjoyed discussing skincare with her. There are not a lot of times when I can discuss ingredients and brands that I like in depth with someone. The experience and Hydrafacial was everything and more that I had hoped it would be! I went in for my congested pores, redness and wanting more of a glow. Her technique is wonderful and my face looked radiant. This really agreed with my skin! She made sure I knew what to and not to do ahead of time and after. I appreciate her care in making sure the best and safest results for my skin! I think she space is lovely, very calming and rejuvenating. I would not hesitate to recommend her and I will be booking with her anytime we are in the area!
