This small shop caught my eye as we were moseying down Third Street in Geneva last weekend. The…read moreentrance is a somewhat farther back from the sidewalk than the others in town so it might be easy to miss. Any shop using the word "apothecary" tends to pique my interest since they often carry more niche brands, or higher end skincare, and as someone who loves exploring skincare I am quick to stop in; this was no different. I was a little surprised to see as much Dr. Hauschka here as they carry since that's a line you can get at Whole Foods. It was also a surprise that as a shop specializing in makeup and skin care that they didn't appear to carry a sunscreen--and I mean an a product that was solely sunscreen, not a foundation or lip color with SPF 30 or something. Sunscreen is probably the most important thing one can use in their routine, but you wouldn't guess that at a shop focused on skincare? They have a LOT of scents here. It's a small shop and it can quickly become overwhelming, as well as hard to tell the perfumes apart. Both of us customers in store quipped about the lack of coffee beans, and learned that they had them once and when they spilled they stopped using them. I was curious about one but I wasn't able to tell what it truly smelled like since one of the other folks in the shop had sprayed several already. The person working gave me a little tester to take home, though, which I appreciated. I would give this store another whirl if I was in the area. But overall I was a bit disappointed in their skin care options and lack of detail (the missing sun protection). They have a lot of makeup here too but I didn't really look at that much (it was somewhat dark in the shop so I wouldn't have been able to see a true color anyway). The building is not accessible; there are several steps to get into the shop. It's street parking only.

Bridget and the staff are so warm and helpful--they will give you a product demo or a little makeover to help you find the right products that you're looking for. A truly unique boutique!

In my 20s I thought I was super stylish keeping up with the "thin brow" trend... and let's just say my eyebrows never quite recovered So now I leave it to the professionals because I absolutely do not trust myself with a pair of tweezers anymore. In my mid-20s I also started getting more hair on my sideburns and became really self-conscious about it. I'm so grateful for esthetician Tiffany @beautybabe_tiff, who made me feel comfortable, and helped me walk out feeling refreshed--especially before the busy holidays. I truly can't recommend this local business enough. From the friendly front desk team to the professional estheticians who make you feel taken care of from start to finish, they always have a way of making you leave feeling better than when you walked in.

I've known people who've said they think her waxes are more painful, and they might be, but she just does such an insanely good job with shaping and cleaning up that I can't stop coming back.

My brows look great due to her.

You'll see a Subway and the Seven Dwarves Restaurant in this tiny strip and that's where Bioday Spa is. If you're looking to get a completely relaxed facial, this is the place to go. Brooke was my esthetician and she took all of the tension that was in my face away. Her hands are so amazingly good I was melting. She took her time and made sure I was comfortable and provided incredible service. Brooke was talking me through most of the things she was doing. The room you go into has classical music playing, a Velcro towel that you put on yourself before the facial and there's a small lamp in the corner that provides just enough light to make you feel relaxed. She gives a quick consultation and survey of your skin before she starts the facial to address your skin concerns. I would definitely come here again just for the incredible facial!

If you're looking for the best injector in St. Charles, Illinois or the top med spa near Elgin/St…read more Charles/Geneva/Batavia, I cannot recommend Dr. Thakkar at Pur Bliss Med Spa enough. I originally came in for a consultation, and right away I noticed how different her approach was. She took her time, thoroughly explained all treatment options (including Botox, PRF, Sculptra, PDO threads, dermal fillers, skin rejuvenation, etc. ), and never once made me feel pressured. Everything was customized, professional, and focused on natural, long-term results. Since then, I've continued seeing Dr. Thakkar--and after 18 years of experience with injectors (plastic surgeons, doctors, and nurses), I can confidently say she is the best cosmetic injector I've ever been to. Her technique is incredibly precise, and her results are consistently natural-looking, balanced, and never overdone. If you're searching for natural Botox results, expert lip filler, facial balancing, anti-aging treatments, or a trusted med spa in the St. Charles area, she is truly a master at her craft. She has a strong eye for detail and facial harmony that sets her apart from anyone else. What also makes a huge difference is how comfortable she makes you feel. Every appointment feels relaxed and personal--like you're talking with someone who genuinely cares about your outcome and your confidence. The entire team at Pur Bliss Med Spa is just as impressive--friendly, professional, and clearly dedicated to providing a top-tier client experience. It's easily one of the best med spas in the Elgin/St. Charles/Geneva/Batavia area if not the best. If you're considering Botox, filler, or any aesthetic treatment and want natural, beautiful results from a highly skilled injector, go see Dr. Thakkar at Pur Bliss Med Spa. You will not regret it.

I've also had Botox in several other cities, and I can honestly say I'll always come here from now on. Dr. Hemalini Thakkar is amazing- it's absolutely worth the trip!

Every appointment feels like catching up with a friend while also getting the absolute BEST care.

Kim is incredibly knowledgeable, precise, and genuinely cares about her clients.
