This was the third time this has happened to me. As a salon owner, it is absolutely unacceptable to repeatedly not show up or fail to keep appointments, especially without proper communication. I took time out of my day and planned to spend two hours here, only to be completely inconvenienced. There was no professionalism, no accountability, and no respect for my time. I was so frustrated that I had to walk out. I will not be returning and would caution others who value reliability and professionalism.

I was told an hour and a half prior to that appt that she had to cancel. Took a half day off of work so I can make that appt. on a Friday. I sent three texts after that with no response until Tuesday late evening. We agreed on the following week, having hardly any eyelashes at this point, that she could do 9 am on Friday. Then was told on Thursday that she can't do Friday, since she had a brunch to go to. Who doesn't check calendars before booking something? Then she said she could only do 9:30 am on Saturday. Yep, after that was booked, was told the next day that she could only do 8. So, once again, I switched my other appt that I had booked for something else to make 8 am work. You guessed it, was told the night prior after 10 pm that she can't do 8 am the next day. No response to see if it could be rescheduled for a fifth time. I have never dealt with any sort of "business" cancelling 4 appts!! She was told several times that after my initial appt being canceled that I had a huge holiday party to go to 8 days later and she still couldn't keep any of those appts. So here I am with no eyelashes and too late at this point to get in anywhere else. If she just told me upfront she couldn't make any of these appointments, I would have just booked with a different business.

Anyways, I got them done around the end of November for an European trip. It's now the end of January and the extensions are still on. Obviously, a lot less on each eye but I haven't gotten a refill and it is still noticeable that I have lash extensions. These extensions have withstood European wind and Chicago freezing temperatures and snow. Plus, they are comfortable. An important factor to note though is that I don't wear makeup, so it helps that I'm not washing off eye makeup. Regardless, I think they are absolutely worth the price , which is definitely more on the affordable end. I have gotten lots of extensions in the past living previously in New York and other suburbs of Chicago. This is my new favorite and go to place. They deserve more credit for sure.

I have…read moreshopped a few places and there were some issues with each I got hybrid mink lashes, eyebrows waxed and tinted. Here's why I liked Gorgeous Lashes: --Yura is professional and pleasant. She took the time to show me my options, let me know the prices, and provide recommendations. This was part of the appointment and there wasn't a fee for it. I feel like so many lash places nickel and dime you so there's that element of not knowing what you end up paying during your appointment. When that happens, I never go back. I don't like price gouging. --My lashes are lightweight. I don't feel them there. I ended up getting hybrid, mink lashes. Before, I always had natural/classic style with synthetic lashes. My hybrid enhance my eyes without the fake look. --Either it is the product she uses or the way she applied the lashes but my eyes did not get irritated with her. At other places, the adhesive would sting my eyes or irritate them. --Her other customers that arrived said their lashes stay on for a month. My lashes from Lash Lounge lasted a week . --Gorgeous Lashes prices are way better than other places in the city but the quality is better. I drive from the city to Niles to have my beauty services here.

She made my first lash perm a comfortable experience!…read more I attended a family wedding 2 months ago and wanted to do something different aside from doing fake lash extensions. I've done the fake lash extensions for years now and they just don't do it for me anymore. I also don't want to look like Mr. Snuffleupagus when I'm trying to look cute. If I do get falsies I'm lucky if they last a week. I've also done magnetic lashes too but those don't stay on well resulting in the corners being undone. I wanted my lashes to look as natural as possible with some curl to it. My lashes naturally lie flat and even with mascara, they don't appear to stand out. Lash perms can give your own lashes the extra curl needed. Most of all the perms last for at least a month! Odette was sweet, calm and patient with me given this was my first time doing this. She explained the process and checked in with me often since the perm solution they put on can cause mild stinging. I felt that but it didn't cause serious discomfort. In the days ahead, my eyes did crust up but what I was left with were a beautiful set of lashes that were of my own, just a bit enhanced to give you that va-va-va voom oomph to your look. If paired with eyelash primer and a coat of mascara, they stand out guaranteeing you won't get that Snuffleupagus aesthetic. I would definitely recommend lash perms for a special occasion/vacation. My session lasted an hour allowing for relaxation. In fact, I took a 20-minute nap while on the table! Parking is a breeze with Posh Beauty situated in a large strip mall with adequate free parking. Get your lash on and look fabulous!

Big shout out to Kim Sun Young hair design and the ladies who work there for patiently braiding and packaging up my hair I highly recommend this salon as the service was wonderful and I believe it was a valuable experience.

I went back and forth as to whether I wanted to write this, but I do think my experience was…read moreunfortunate and may not necessarily reflect their skill and service here, but I think it's still worth sharing. The TL;DR is that I was unable to get my hair coloring done and also got a haircut that was not very flattering. I felt I looked better when I came in vs when I came out of the salon. This was all despite the effort I made to contact this salon multiple times beforehand to ensure that they were able to do the hair that I wanted. In January, I had my hair cut and permed in Los Angeles, which I was happy with, but I wanted to also make my hair blonde with this hair style (I'm a Korean American with dark hair). I confirmed with my hairstylist in LA as well as the internet that you should wait a while to bleach your hair to space out the damage, at least ~4 weeks. I currently live in Cleveland, OH for grad school and heard there aren't many good salons in OH for Asian hair. So I did my research, found this salon in Chicago with good ratings, read through ratings, looked through photos, and then first messaged them on instagram to set an appt. I sent them reference photos of the color I wanted, plus a current selfie showing my hair to ask if what I wanted was possible. I also explained I was going to be driving in from Cleveland (took me 7 hours since I avoided tolls) so I wanted to really make sure before I made the trip. I told them also about my perm from weeks ago (it was going to be over 7 weeks since the perm for the appt day I asked for). I also called 24 hours later directly to the salon since I didn't get a response on instagram right away. The person on the phone booked me with Michelle. I then proceeded to explain my situation and told them I sent them photos on instagram. The woman on the phone tried to reassure me saying "it's okay, Michelle can do whatever color. Don't worry about it." I took their word. They also responded on instagram confirming they could book me an appt and gave me an estimate of pricing (starting around $350) and time range (3-4 hours) based on the color I wanted. The day of my appt, I show Michelle my pictures and what I want. She starts rambling about how the color I want is not possible, or needs to be bleached multiple times because my hair color is too dark. I was asking her to clarify if that meant I have to come in on different days to get it done, and she wasn't very clear and eventually just said, "It's okay, we will figure it out. For now, you need a haircut right?" So we cut my hair to a length I was satisfied with, but since it wasn't dried/styled yet, I wasn't sure what the finished product would look like yet. Then we went back to discussing color. First, she tells me, "okay, we can bleach multiple times, but it may take a long time, maybe even 6 hours. Is that ok?" I said yes (I knew it might take a long time so I purposefully asked for their earliest appt time that day). "And it's going to be around $400-500. Is that ok?" I said yes again. THEN she says, "oh, and the bleach is going to flatten your perm, so you won't have your perm anymore." This is when I was stunned and hesitated and asked for time to think. I was already starting to worry about whether the color would actually look okay on me based on Michelle's initial response to my request, but then to also not have my perm that I had paid for before but I still wanted to be a part of my overall hairstyle? I was incredibly disappointed. I was definitely ignorant of how this hair stuff worked, but that's why I tried doing my research beforehand and asked them multiple times, sending them pictures and explaining my situation BEFORE I planned a trip 7 hours away by car. I don't have many free weekends, so this was also difficult for me to schedule. Eventually I declined the color because I didn't want to risk not liking the final color AND losing my perm. But I wish the staff, all the people I talked to here, told me BEFORE I made the trip to Chicago, and BEFORE she cut my hair. I honestly would not have gotten my haircut had I known I wasn't going to get color. I know cheaper hair salons for hair cuts in the area and might've opted for another place if I wanted one (my hair was already short, but the haircut price was still $70). The staff didn't necessarily act rude or anything, but they clearly failed to take my situation into consideration despite all of my effort and wasted my time, money and energy. And honestly I don't like the hair cut. I look like Johnny Depp from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory; the lack of layers is not flattering. I have to pull my hair back daily to look decent. I'm just sad this happened and they may be competent at hair, but the inconsiderate communication was really disappointing.

The process feels kind of like someone is plucking out your hairs with a little string. It did not hurt or anything but does sting a tiny bit.

This is a very clean and sanitary place. Well worth the money spent.
