I still love my waxer and have left her a 5-star review on Google so she can get a little bump, but I just can't keep coming here. I could almost tolerate the pressure to buy products and wax passes if the people working the front desk could focus and make reservations correctly... but, the past several times I've been there, they have messed up my reservation. They've booked me with the wrong waxer, or made a reservation that never made its way to my account (I assume they booked the wrong customer?) but most annoying is when they rescheduled me without any communication, I just saw an updated appointment change in my account. Completely unprofessional and disrespectful to a once loyal customer.

She makes sure you're comfortable but at the same time doesn't waste any time, which I love. She is incredibly precise as well. I'm relatively new to bikini waxes but after my second one there, I now want to make this a part of my regular routine. Lasers didn't work for me as my hair is too light; Even after 8 sessions of laser, my hair grew back a little bit thinner but I could barely notice a difference. After getting waxed- even months later there were so few hairs that grew back! And this is a fraction of the cost of lasers. Overall, definitely recommend checking this place out even if it's your first time.

The salon is located inside a building with several other restaurants and businesses on the same floor, so it took me a minute to find it. I got a regular manicure and a pedicure, and the service was fairly quick. I liked that the staff took their time shaping my nails and applying the polish instead of rushing through it. The only thing I wish had been better was the massage. It felt a little short and could have used a bit more pressure. Unfortunately, about three days after my appointment, I noticed the polish had already started chipping at the tips of my nails, which was disappointing. Overall, the experience was pleasant, but I expected the manicure to last longer.

It's located by the State and Washington intersection entrance. There were 4 associates when I went. There's the retail section that has most of the benefit products for sale. There are multiple stations that are open to the rest of the department store. Booking online was quick and seamless. They had same day appointments so I was easily able to drop in. They were fairly busy so I'd recommend an appointment but they do take walk ins. Humberto helped me and was super sweet and nice. He explained exactly what he was doing and had me go through the brow shape in the mirror for each side of my face. He worked quickly and touched up my wax with tweezers and I was in and out pretty shortly. Prices were transparently displayed and they take tip in cash or card. Would recommend for a quick brow place in the loop. They also do lamination, threading, and tinting here.

I've been a customer and client at this specific Benefit Brow Bar for over 10 years. I've been a…read moreloyal client for brow aestheticians here from Cherie, to Vanessa, to Mercedes, to Cathy, to DeAndre over the years, as well as meeting, on several occasions, the district manager at the time, Jae. From these past visits, I've never had a negative experience with them. Today, I came into Benefit on State Street and I receive a brow waxing service from Shavece. She was kind and had great conversation - and also did a great job on my brows. However, towards the end of my service, Shavece takes a purple paste and applies it (she took it past my eyes, and I could not see in the moment what was actually happening, as my eyes were opening and closing during the wax), but I could feel it being applied. She says "I'm just adding our special paste and it'll take all of the dirt and debris out of your pimple". OK.. I know that Benefit offers eye masks during their service, so maybe this is something that will enhance my service? I asked her to remove it, because I do not ask for it. Shavece wipes off the paste and begins to squeeze the pimple that is on my forehead. I ask "excuse me, what are you doing?" She says "sorry I just think this pimple is ready up come to a head... that doesn't hurt does it?" I respond "yes that hurts a lot, please stop". She continues and I say "please leave my pimple alone, this is not what I came in here for". She says "ok sorry". She then gives me a mirror to look at my brows, and I see that the pimple that's on my forehead is now bleeding, purple, more inflamed and irritated. I'm not someone who pops my pimples, and I for sure did not come into Benefit for my brow aestheticians to pop it during a service that was booked for an eyebrow wax - especially without my consent. I asked her for a tissue as the bump was bleeding pretty bad and I needed to stop the blood. She proceeds to check me out and asks "did you want to leave a tip?" A tip that I would give is not to touch parts on a customers face that is not given permission to do so. I did not come in for a pimple consultation. I did not come in for a pimple treatment. I did not come in to get "pimple paste". I called the brow bar directly and spoke with the manager, Mariaelena, and she basically upheld what the aesthetician did. She claimed that popping pimples and applying pimple paste was a part of the service. Never in my 15 years of coming to benefit have I ever had that done. I've had pimples on my forehead or on my face before, while being serviced at the many locations I've visited, and no aesthetician has ever done this. If you're touching someone's face, it should never be something that the aesthetician simply chooses to do - and if it's brought to the managers attention, there should be more sincerity and apology towards the customer. You don't just start extracting a customers pimple or something on their face without their consent as I could be allergic or have skin that is sensitive to certain products, which I do. That's not a part of the waiver that sign before initiating the service and I was extremely dissatisfied. I came in for a brow wax - and I'm not sure if she assumed that she was being helpful, but this experience has deterred me from returning to this Benefit location in the future.
