I have been doing my makeup the same way since I was 15 and figured that I needed a change. My…read morebirthday, in conjunction with a 50% of WeDeal for a one hour makeup lesson with Cynde, made for a great excuse to mix things up a bit. She started off the lesson by going through different basic, daytime looks. Cynde worked within the time limitations I gave her (I am not the type to spend a ton of time prepping) to quickly change my look from a work environment to a night out. She went through everything from how to line my eyes, use of shadow depending on my mood, and even getting rid of my chapped lips. With every consultation, she gives her clients a free eyebrow shaping, which worked out well because I was long overdue! Cynde took me about fifteen minutes late for my appointment, which I really didn't mind, especially because she ran well over the one hour time slot making sure she went over different looks and perfecting my makeover. While she has her own makeup line available for sale, I explained my current financial situation and she didn't pressure me to buy anything, which was much appreciated. I did buy a couple things (it was my birthday after all) and I love her cream eyeshadow that I use as a base to keep powder shadow put, a lip pumice, and a lip gloss - all of which I love. While I am sure there are other places where you can do something like this, I have yet to come across them. I was planning on watching a couple Youtube videos to get some new ideas, but it was so much more fun to have a lesson custom for your face and color palate. I will definitely be back for a few other things once I have some spare cash. BONUS: When my boyfriend saw me later that night, he thought I looked like a total babe. Nice!

She came into our home and did the make up for the bride and all 6 bridesmaids. I loved her products - especially those she used on my eyes/lips.

Then as we were at the checkout we found the cologne gift set so we added that, but also asked our cashier Claudia if they had a good product for acne and she was super knowledgeable and helped us make the our decision to purchase the KHS Acne Excl Set. Sadly, the product for the acne isn't seeming to work, but happy with the mascara and cologne so far. Employees make all the difference. Do recommend this location for Sephora.

Then I remembered why I generally avoid this one! Unpleasant, unhelpful, zero eye contact salespeople - come on now, makeup is supposed to be fun, a nice distraction, an easy sell. But not this location. Three salespeople, one on her phone, one avoided eye contact; and the one that 'had' to interact with *the only customer in the store* (!) couldn't have been less courteous, friendly, or helpful on any level. So sorry I purchased something (which karma-like seemed to have disappeared later lol) - super bad vibes.

There is some apparel for kids and teens, not much, but some cute things, as well as a good selection of jewelry. The beauty items are extremely specific and well priced - I noticed an aisle with a huge section just for different nail files! Who knew there were so many? This place could easily take advantage of its prime Highland Park location and charge higher prices with an attitude. Neither is a concern here. They are friendly and happy to help. (I think some personalized summer camp-specific items are pricier, but that's an exception.)

It's time to stop giving Sephora money since none of it is going back into training or service.

I was a 63 year old woman with a droopy face - and the mirror just didn't reflect the way I felt…read moreinside. After much research, I chose Dr. Byun for my facelift. He and his nurse, Lauren, took SO much time talking to me, showing me pictures, telling me about his practice, and explaining why his procedure was so unique. I'm now 10 months out and I look and feel so much better, so much more confident. Dr. Byun's office staff is also incredible. Lauren and Lindsay are warm, friendly, skilled professionals that aren't intimidating or uppity in any way. Such a different vibe than a previous doctor that I'd seen. I showed up at all my post-op visits with a list of questions and they listened and walked me through every concern that I brought in with me. Healing takes time and comes in phases, so I needed to be talked off the ledge a few times with a gentle reminder to just be patient. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Byun. He is an amazingly talented, detail oriented 'perfectionist' surgeon that performs cutting edge signature procedures that will no doubt be copied and become the norm in the plastic field. By repositioning the actual muscles in the face (not just the skin) his end results look incredibly natural. No 'wind tunnel' looks are ever coming out of his office! If you're researching a plastic surgeon, your search should end with Dr. Byun.

I don't think these are legitimate reviews. I will keep this short, feel free to message me…read moredirectly with questions. Dr, Byun is nice but I was left with a permanent scar on my face. Spoke to other medical professionals and they told me it was because he didn't stitch it tight enough. Makes sense because right when I got in the car blood was literally dripping down and out of my face and I thought it was normal for some reason.. it wasn't. Ever since I got the surgery I told him something wasn't right but then I was charged again for him to fix what he messed up. Even tho I told him the next day after surgery. Also I was completely over charged. Should have shopped around more or talked to more people because my cousin was charged half the price for the exact same surgery and when I asked other surgeons afterwards, they told me it should have be half the price I paid. Unfortunately I got ripped off and have a permanent scar on my face. I tried emailing them but no response so unfortunately I'm left leaving this bad review. Also- Nicole the nurse will try to negotiate with you.. it so sad. Pushy- after coming down $2,500.00- still over double the price, she said i better not change my mind because if she goes back and tells dr byun and i end up not doing it she's going to look stupid... lol I really?? Haha okay...?? I knew that was a sales tactic but ignored it...I should have ran.

This store stocks many other local businesses and it's a great chance to try something new! Many vegan, ingredient conscious gifts and itsms.

I only wish I could buy more, but they last so long and their scent throw is great! Many candle-makers don't make melts and I was elated that they had so many in stock. The owner and her son are fantastic - always happy to help and they work very hard. The window displays change more often than Macy's, and the themes are so cute (they even had a Barbie theme over the summer)! They are always happy to give recommendations, chat, and it feels so welcoming whenever I go in - they don't make it easy to leave without half a bag of free samples. Their doggie floor manager is a plus too! He is always checking up on customers and is very sweet. All in all: this is a great place to stop in! Love Dierdre and Matthew and hope you meet them soon~

I say this because when he was done with the peel, my right and left side of my face was burned and deeply scarred. I had to go to his office repeatedly for a cream which he charged me a lot for to apply it to my face. The scarring never went away and now 2026, I am still babying that scarring with high priced creams. When I went back to see him directly after he did my peel, his nurse/ assistance was gone. So, did HE actually do it or had his assistant do it. I was never told that!! He always charged me for every visit after he screwed up my face!!! shamful! Yes, he always talked the big talk but did not do what he said would happen!!! He knew he screwed up but never tried to make it right by me. Every time I put on makeup or wash my face , I think of HIM.

Lana is extremely sales-y and manipulates the facts in an effort to get your business. I was trying…read moreto weigh the pros and cons of seeing her vs. taking a medication that my doctor had prescribed so I went in for an initial consultation. Even though I told her I don't plan on getting pregnant now (and don't even have a partner), she told me that the medication would affect my chances of getting pregnant in the future, and I should therefore see her instead. After consulting my medical doctor and the drug manufacturer, they said this isn't the case. The medication only affects people who ARE pregnant or IN THE PROCESS of trying to become pregnant. Taking the drug now doesn't affect people who want to become pregnant in the future. When I contacted Lana's office to clarify, they said that what Lana told me initially was her interpretation of the facts. Even the office staff is drinking the dishonest kool-aid that she's selling. Because of this, I decided not to see her and went to a different acupuncturist in the area. Please be careful and do your research before moving forward with her. Note to Lana and her staff: I'm not using my real name for this review due to privacy reasons. I visited your clinic using my real name; however, I don't wish to disclose that.
