HOW I FOUND THIS FACE PLACE So... just looking around for a local lash extension place... came across an ad sale for this service - at half the price of Extreme Lashes, and decided it was worth a try... LOCATION and AMBIANCE Place... close to my gym, difficult to find, since access is not directly by the parking lot, and pretty obviously one of the smallest spaces in the office park. Decorations and style of the interior, reminded me of a cross between a grandmother's house (furniture dating from 40 years ago, too many tchotkes) with some bad Frenchie style gilt mirrors and bad crystal. Not feelin' the vibe, in comparison to the usual medspa haunts... but the lure of reasonable lash extensions led me onward... I could deal, if this got me what I was looking for... SERVICE Okay, the lash tech, daughter of 'Marie' I gleaned from the conversation, was running late on the appointment... because the person ahead of me had gotten there 30 minutes late, cutting into my appointment time. NOT COOL, this is NOT how you gain my admiration or return... BUT it was the day of another Xmas Party, and I had scheduled this into my calendar, so I waited, finally got in, and had them done. Different brand of lashes, supposed to be better technical design, okay... after the 45+ minutes of application, the results were... thicker in diameter, and a lot of them seemed to be attached at a ratio of 1 extension to 1-2 or even 3 of my lashes. All one length across the whole lash, they should be varied in size (8-10-12mm) longer at the corners, shorter toward the center, ideally matched to the supporting lash so that it doesnt flip around - which happened, because the extension being longer than the lash, is not stable, and obviously not attached at the base. Okay - maybe I am getting boring with the details, summary, I went back in 2 weeks and complained that a lot of them had dropped, or clumped together and pulled out when I combed through them. Pretty much demanded repair or a refund... these are supposed to last the life of the lash... which can be anywhere from 30-90 days... not 10... Second repair, lasted 2 weeks again, not the life of the lashes... if it had, I would not have any lashes where the extensions were attached - strangely, I have tons of lashes where they were. HMM... Going back 2-3 times a month to get lashes done negates the 'savings'... right? read more

Just left The Face Place and my skin looks and feels amazing! I have been seeing Marie for over 10 years now and just LOVE how she takes care of my skin. Every visit gets a thorough consultation and whatever your skin needs, Marie delivers. You'll be amazed at how your skin looks after one visit, and for years to come. I'm 42 and people always take me for my late 20's. :) Thanks Marie! :) read more

I went for a treatment on Saturday today with Marie. She used her Dermapen and I swear I saw a difference in my skin instantly! I have some acne scarring from having teen-age acne. I believe if I keep getting treatments, my skin will look even better. Thank you as always Marie for your expertise and your warm and inviting personality. read more

I am 25 and suffer from mild acne and decided to give 'acne facials' a try. After going to about 4 different spas and not being pleased with the results, I thought I'd give Face Place a try and I'm so glad I did! Marie is the sweetest lady and really wants to understand your skin before she starts any procedure. She uses mostly natural ingredients that do not irritate my skin (I have very sensitive skin btw). After the first facial, Marie had a new customer for life. My skin is now clear and balanced thanks to Marie. I would recommend her for anyone looking to have a facial or cosmetic procedure done. Her wealth of knowledge and expertise in the industry puts her far ahead of the rest! Thanks! Mike read more

I really love The Face place. I have seen Marie several times and am very happy I found her! I have had several treatments including the Trinity Plus and facials. She created a special lotion specifically for my skin with organic ingredients. Each time I had an appointment, I left with my skin glowing and soft. I love how she pampers me during the treatments, I always feel so relaxed there. read more

Marie Marie Marie, she is such a doll!!! Very sweet and caring person. I use to get my facial's and microderms done by Marie. But unfortunately I began to travel a ton for work and still am. Marie, till this day my skin is beautiful! You helped me out a ton with great advice and the right products to use. Yes she can be a bit pricey but definitely well worth! She was so gentle on my skin and worked on every issue I had. I highly recommend this place! Thanks for everything Marie. Miss you!! read more

Great place. Custom formulated moisturizer show excellent results in about. Highly recommend this medicine spa

HORRIBLE! Let me repeat HORRIBLE! Stay away! Their ad says gylcomic peel that will leave you glowing for the holidays. I went in on Monday and By Tuesday my under eyes were so dry and wrinkled they looked like leather and I had aged 15+ years in one day!! I could not believe my own eyes so I took pictures. My before picture my face is gleaming ,healthy and glowing in the after I looked beat up,dull skin and HUGE leather like dryness and creases under my eyes! I called a few friends who do facials (and were not available for my last minute appointment I wanted on Mon) and they said there is absolutely no way the peel shuld have been under my eyes or making my skin appear the way it is. In saying that I decided to give it a day. On Wednesday I called Marie and she was very sweet (as she was in person). I explained what was going on and that the oil I was recommended to purchase by the woman who performed my peel was burning my under eyes. Maries immediately asked if the woman whom did my facial told me that I should wait to put the oil she suggested under my eyes and I said no she did not mention that at all! Now to the HORRIBLE part...Marie said that she was working late on Thursday (today) and that I can come for her to look. When I came in Marie greeted me but was with a client so the woman who did my facial came up to me and said whats going on? I was very polite and said well Im having a little (underestimating to be nicer) dryness under my eyes. She immediately rebuttled "Well I only used 30% Glycomic" and got very defensive repeating over and over that this is normal with a peel and it will go away. Then it gets uglier...I guess she thought I wasnt give her enough eye contact because she then commanded me to "Look her in the eye when she is talking" and thats when my patience ran out and I told her ok now im annoyed.,I would just like to know what I can do to make the peeling and dryness under my eyes better for new years eve. Im assuming that offended her because she went into the next room and said very loudly to Marie while she was working on a patient and I was sitting right there "I dont know what she is talking about peeling is normal and she is just confused"...I couldnt believe my ears and I said "you know Im right here and I can hear you?!". She then came out of room and started yelling so I said you know I would just like my money back please to which she replied "no way your not getting anything back" and "im not going to let you talk down to me". I was shocked stil!! And said I did not speak to you in a derogative manner at all and have been very nice this entire time. She the tried to reiterate the fact that the severe dryness and peeling under my eyes is normal and I said that should have been told to me previous to procedure as I was expecting "glowing skin" for the new year and it is not ok to yell at costumers (yes I had to say that out loud). And heres the grad finale of the most awful experience I have had yet to date : "SHE SCREAMED..."YELLING,NO THIS IS ME YELLING" at the top of her lungs! I took one look at her and said "ok I am leaving now" and turned to Marie who was still working on a patience and said" Im sorry Marie but she is absolutely ridiculous and this is unacceptable". I am still in shock they are operating this way and cant imagine that anyone would put up this as much as I did. I called Marie a few hours after the shock settled and left a message. I will be anxiously waiting for her call back and for my eyes to hopefully heal very soon! But for your safety stay away from the employee she has (whom also-go figure-works in the steel manufacturing industry!) read more

I'd love to share my three positive experiences with Marie who is the owner and Esthetician of Face place Med Spa because I am pleased with my results and I will continue to return monthly for more! I first went to Marie this past summer because my skin was looking dull. I had invested in a series of micro current facials at a prominent spa downtown but I did not get the results I had hoped for. I found Marie online here in Schaumburg and once we chatted briefly she encouraged me to come in and try a 70% lactic acid peel to help make my skin toner brighter again. It worked! I felt like I had made a good investment in trusting her and this was the first medical grade peel I had ever had so I noticed the results immediately. During our session she had me hold onto a mini fan so that my skin would be cooler. After the peel she let me enjoy a combination of carrier oils that hydrate the skin with pure lavender essential oil kept warm under a hot towel to calm down my skin. After a few moments she cooled down my skin with peppermint essential oils and it not only felt refreshing but I am a real lover of aromatherapy and I have a huge collection of essential oils of my own that I love to use on a daily basis. I was sold! About a month later I started to receive invites to Marie's botox and raffle parties so last week I finally participated and took advantage of the greatly reduced price of botox for that evening with Dr. Sharma who was very honest and suggested only 20 units of botox for a small crease between my brows that always bother me. I enjoyed socializing with all of Marie's family and clients who she treats like close friends. I even won a special moisturizing cream at the raffle so I am enjoying it now as I write this review. My third visit with Marie was yesterday afternoon and I opted for the Lactic Acid peel again because I love the glow. Yesterday evening my skin was so shiny and healthy looking I noticed a couple of men staring straight at my face ;) I am sure any woman who needs some special TLC will appreciate Marie's approach to natural beauty. You will leave feeling refreshed, listened to and the affects will last for more than just "a few days". I also enjoy asking questions during my treatments and Marie is more than happy to educate you and help you understand what steps to take to achieve the best results for your skin type. I will continue to return here and make use of Marie's wonderful skills! read more

So it's been a little over a month I have been using the products and my skin has never been better :) I can't believe how nice my skin is looking. Will definately keep seeing Marie. read more

I've been to a few dermatologists and estheticians over the past 20 years and Marie is the only one who really helped me to improve my skin. She keeps current on various techniques to improve the look and feel of your skin. I'm very impressed with her knowledge of herbs and supplements and how our internal health affects our skin. She's sweet and caring and makes you feel comfortable from the first moment you meet her. I love the results that I'm seeing and I highly recommend Marie. And, you won't believe how amazing she looks for her age! read more
