I wish I could give this place no stars because it does not deserve one. Do not believe everything…read moreyou read about this business especially their glowing reviews. The owner is rude, condescending and unprofessional. All she cares about is the money not her clients. When I tried booking an appointment and told her my bank rejected her payment method due to suspicious activity, she immediately cancelled the appointment even when I tried to explain things to her. She is good at providing excuses and tries to come across as caring. I should have paid attention to the earlier red flags-so buyer beware!

In January I booked Vicki for a bridal trial in April for my wedding in July. It took a week just…read moreto get something set up through text, which is the method her website and social media said to use. In April I followed up with her three days before my scheduled appointment to confirm she still had me on her schedule, which I felt the need to do after my January experience with her. She never contacted me back to confirm and my appointment time passed. I am very disappointed considering I live out of state, and I came into town this weekend just to have the trial done. I wish I could have had a chance to review her makeup ability but all I can review is her customer service which has been unreliable and unprofessional.

Okay, so the new big thing is microneedling - I'm game…read more This spa is located inside a dental office, but don't let that stop you - it's a super zen, spacious room, and there's no outside noise. So, microneedling is one of those get shit done services. You're not there to relax, you're there for results. My skin was cleansed and numbing cream was applied. Then it came time for the fun stuff. Lesley uses the stamping method while microneedling versus dragging the pen back and forth across the skin (if you're wondering why this is the best technique, google banana and microneedling). On my chin and cheeks it just felt like i was getting massaged with a mini Theragun. My forehead was my downfall, and apparently does not know how to man up. That's where I started to feel it, and needed a break. Around the eyes was more awkward than anything, as the force from the gun made my eyes water, and my neck was smooth sailing. Lesley also did some radio frequency work for skin firming. I'm happy with the results (improved skin texture and tone) and will def head back for more. I asked Lesley how many sessions I needed (I've heard up to six to start off with), and she said she felt I would be okay starting with a series of two. Looking back at other series I've had done, after the third or fourth facial is when I've seen greatly diminished or even worsening results, so she knows her stuff. Final verdict? I'm so happy I was able to rock my first microneedling appointment here.

Sonia Roselli's studio has done hair/makeup for two of my friends' weddings, so when I got engaged,…read moreit was a no-brainer that I would use this place: I wanted the absolute best. I have to say, while I was ultimately pleased with the way things turned out in the end, my experience didn't go according to plan. First, my stylist (who was awesome overall) arrived almost half an hour late. I understand that her Uber broke down, but no one called to communicate this to me on the morning of the wedding, and I was FREAKING OUT and had to run around trying to track down someone from Sonia's salon, which I was finally able to do, but it was super stressful. Hair and makeup ultimately came out great, but initially when I looked at my hair in the mirror I was not at all pleased, as it looked NOTHING like the photos I had given my stylist for reference. As she had run late, I didn't say anything because there wasn't time to fix it. It's also true that I didn't do a trial, which could have helped, but for the huge amount of money I was already paying and the fact that my ceremony was a small Chicago elopement, it didn't seem worth the price ($195 PER SERVICE, so over $400 with tip). Also, throughout the time my stylist was working on me, I kept asking if we'd be done on schedule and she kept assuring that we would be, but she ended up running about half an hour over, so everything about my wedding was delayed by 30 minutes as a result, including the ceremony itself. Everything turned out well as I was pleased with the look once I put my dress on, but overall I was not happy with the way everything went down. For that high cost, I expected the highest possible customer service, which this place did not deliver.

Researching & trying to pick a great professional makeup & hair stylist for a wedding is a big task…read moreof its own. I've researched for hours trying to pick the best of the best, and I've had my share of MUA/hairstylists in the past who left my face looking raccoon-like & my hair in weird bouffant & frizz ball. I am very particular because if I'm going to commit to pay a pretty steep amount for trials & actual session, it had to be good. Couple of my gf's had their bridal makeup/hair from Sonia Roselli staff so I had some expectations. If I had any worries, Bridgit was quick to address them & offer her advice. (She was great!) pros: * communication with the Manager, Bridgit was great & she was quick to answer any questions, concerns, & was a big help with arranging the trials and rescheduling if necessary. * the two ladies I worked with were lovely & had a great personality. (Korena-hair & Sami-makeup) *korena: she gave me the look that I asked for. I probably would change up the 'do since it didn't flatter my face, but she was great. Cons :( * sigh...... Woah, the makeup. I really feel bad for saying anything because Sami is a doll. But that makeup was not good nor flattering. I was excited because she's a pro at lash extensions/falsies, but after our 2.5-3 hour session, I didn't care for the lashes. With my monolids, it's difficult to create the same dramatic look as others, but when I came home to a better & bright lighting, my mom & sisters reaction said it all. "Omg linda.... You look exhausted, what happened to your eyes ?!? " I proceeded to the bathroom & saw that all the taupe eyeshadow was smothered underneath my eyes. My family knows how much I love makeup & the look that I love, but they exclaimed that I cannot walk down the aisle looking like that. For my wedding, I want to look elegant, but fresh & beautiful. Sadly, the complete look wasn't executed to my expectations. Who knows ?? I may have a better chance with a different artist, but after that long session & talking to Bridgit about my woes, I think I'm going to move on.

I have been getting my lashes done by Christana for about 6 months now. I absolutely love my lashes…read moreand always get compliments. A fill takes about 2 to 2.5 hours and a full set about 4 hours. This is typical for my custom volume lash style that I prefer. Christana's lashes stay on the longest! I can go 3 to 4 weeks between fills, 5 weeks or longer and I need a full set to maintain the look I like. Her place is always clean and it's in a pretty fancy doorman building. Parking is convenient at the valet across the street ($12). I enjoy chatting with her as we get started and she's very laid back and kind, always being courteous to my needs (water break, bathroom break, music/podcast preference). Definitely recommend Lashes by Christana to anyone who loves their lash extensions!

1st. Called to make an appointment same day and they were very accommodating. Great!…read more2nd. Asked if location was 20th st and she said yes. Hung up the phone. Then I get a text stating that they are doing renovations and I would need to go to a residential address. Ok, I gave them benefit of the doubt. I arrive. It is obviously that persons home. I go down to the basement with the lady. It was weird because it looked like a complete set up was there but it was a mess. Ok. Whatever, sometimes you have to do what you have to do. Later the lady tells me that they are moving from that location instead because of cost of the rent. Ok. I guess sometImeS it's hard to explain over the phone and what she said would have been easier. 3rd. While getting my lashes done, there were people screaming and yelling upstairs and were talking about being drunk. Super unprofessional. But I was ok with it cause like I said sometimes you make stuff work if they really were having renovations 4th. After 3.5 hours, I finally see my lashes. I can say I was pretty comfy as far as the chair goes. I dozed off a little. My lashes were great. They would be absolutely perfect if I ask for short lashes that were all one length. I asked for long lashes that has lots of varyIng lengths and volume so they looked a little more natural. Ok. Whatever. They didn't look bad my any means so I cannot really get that mad. I know what my lashes can handle and the length and diameter so I was confused by her decision to do exactly what I didn't want. 5th This is what reaaly turned me off. When we went upstairs to do payment, the mom was freaking out in the lady that did my lashes because she didn't know what she did and didn't understand how I was going to pay. She was being so rude and talk about me with me right there outside of the door. She never just came out and asked and tried to figure it out. I also got charge $185 when I thought I booked for the type that was $150. Not a big deal. They did give me 20% off for being a new client. I found it really odd that the lady/daughter didnt know how to take payment for her own services and that the mother was getting so upset with her. I'm not sure if the lady was even of age after that conversation. But anyways, I just don't feel like the professionalism is there. I understand things happen but they should have said no we don't have any appointments when I originally called. It looked like a nice place online and some reviews that seemed promising but overall it was a let down and I was uncomfortable. Edited: after doing some research, I found out my lash lady is not licensed and has not graduated high school yet!! What??
