I came here because i got a deal from groupon, during the consutaltion she mention that would benefit from this and that and and i thought sounds good let's try it endup spending over$180 dont see anything different done on my face, will stick to my local facials, according to her she is very busy i didnt get an appointment until 2 months after, feels like she pressure you to buy her product. Thank you will definitely not coming back!! read more

I'm honestly not a fan of ilona. She pressures you to buy her skin care line which is annoying. I get that she's trying to sell her skin care line but still I'm going to a facial to relax not to spend money on products I don't need. Her facials are good if you are looking for something superficial and quick. read more

I love going to Ilona. She's quick and efficient. She never pushes to make a sale and she works with me. She told me about the vagacials she offers and I had to try it! It felt so refreshing after my Brazilian wax. I may need to get one every time. read more

I highly recommend Beauty by Ilona for waxing services. She is gentle and uses great products, easy on my skin. You do need to plan ahead as she is typically booked a few weeks out. I started with a Groupon but now buy packages consistently with Ilona. read more

This woman is a scammer. DO NOT PRE PURCHASE A SERVICE! I purchased a 3-facial package with her but haven't been able to receive services. Once you pay, she never returns your calls or emails!! I have been trying to contact her for weeks and NO answer. I will be reporting her to the Better Business Bureau as it looks I'm not the first one that she has done this to. Stay away! read more

Got a Groupon deal for eyelash lift. It was awesome. I really like the result. I have very straight Asian hair. Of course my lashes are stick straight too. Now my lashes have beautiful curls and I don't need to do anything to them. read more

Beauty By Ilona - YAS! Woke up like this! - Skin Care Near Me - Studio City, California

She took $80 from me and never scheduled me for my facial appointments! Do not spend your money with her! She has horrible customer service and is very unprofessional! read more

She was kind kind pushy for upgrading the service as well as seeking product. And she didn't look happy when I said no. I don't get really good impression for her vibes. Service was good. I go facial to get relax and feel good so it's very important that esthetician has good happy soul. read more

I love microdermabrasion! If I had a machine, I would do it to myself every day. Since it's highly recommended that a professional do it, Ilona is the answer to my microdermabrasion dreams. I make my appointments with Ilona after work. It's the perfect way to unwind from the day. I walk in feeling tense and slightly road ragey from traffic, but after my session with Ilona I am far more relaxed and my skin is smooth and bright. Such a joy every time. I cannot recommend the experience enough. And with a private lot in the back, parking has been easy every time. read more

I recommend Ilona! She's very kind, meticulous and accommodating. Support small and local business by booking your next beauty appointment with her!! read more

Ilona is my go-to girl for bikini waxes. She is: Thorough - Ilona makes sure every hair is taken off even if she has to pluck it Clean - she uses a different applicator every time she dips into the wax Accommodating - Ilona will give you whatever type of design you want - thumbprint, brazilian, playboy, etc. I highly recommend Ilona's service as she is caring and funny. At the end of our session, she always reminds me, "No sexy time until the next day!" :p read more

Have been going to Ilona for more than 10 years and I can say that I will not go anywhere else for wax services or facials.. clean salon great service, wonderful person to be around... she uses the latest organic products on your body and skin .. I have very sensitive skin and have never had an issue going to Ilona for services.. she's always accommodating to your time and schedule... even if she's fully booked. I highly recommend her services! read more

This is the second time that I have a Organic Brazilian Wax by Ilona just as excellently well done as first time. She takes her time and makes sure that she does a complete job. The first time I purchased a groupon and because my experience was great a purchased a package to come back. She doesn't overbook her clients and I didn't feel she rushed her service or pushed any other products or services on me. I booked my appointment immediately after my first appointment and forgot my appointment date and time. However, was given a 72 hr reminder text and email notice to confirm, reschedule or cancel. Which was great. My service was amazing and Ilona is very professional. I have been getting waxed for over 20+ years and I will say she is one of the best! read more

Got a last minute appt with Ilona because of her great reviews. She was very nice and sweet, but the manicure work she did was not so great. I had an event to go to the following day, she did good on the cleaning part but when she was applying the polish (which she doesn't have that many great choices) she did it so fast that the 1st coat didn't get to dry fully before she applied the 2nd coat. And she had no fan to speed up the process. Paid for the service and left. The next morning I woke up and one look at my nails I took the polish off myself. It was soo bad, all my nails were bubbled and the polish was LIFTING! I ended up doing my own nails at this point because I had no time to go get another mani done elsewhere. I don't know about her other services as far as to facials and waxing but for nails go elsewhere I do not recommend... read more

Having this been my first professional brazillian wax--I couldn't have imagined it going any better! Ilona instantly made me feel super comfortable, and kept easygoing light conversation throughout the process, therefore I didn't have time to focus on the pain. She explained to me what type of wax she was using, and how some areas would be slightly more painful than others. And after I told her I have my own waxing machine at home, she gave me tips on how to wax my under arms! She waxed my entire vaginal and butt area in a very timely matter and I left feeling super clean and confident! She even offers packages so her clients can save some money. I am definitely a loyal customer of hers now and I reccomend everyone to go to her! Great experience overall. read more

Save time go to a true professional. Businesses like this,especially self care get a bad rep because of horrible service and HARD sells. My skin actually was better before the Microderm. read more

Love love love her work! I am very busy person and usually don't have time to go somewhere and do my manicure which going to be ruined in couple of days because I have thin and soft nails and I use them all the time... One of the alternative was acrylic, but I hate it (used to have it) because I don't feel my nails, I cannot use them in different aspects and they look fake to me... So the best thing for me was no nail polish and cut as short as possible so I'm not going to worry about it... Not until I went to Ilona... My friend told me about her, so I decided to try... First of all she refuses to do acrylic so right the way we found something in common :), instead she uses some kind of "magic" gel. I love my new nails! First in a few years I grew them longer then "nothing" and they look so real! They not thick like acrylic but as strong, I can use them everywhere and it stays forever... Her nail polish stays longer then usually (I have it now for over a week), and the nails don't break... My friends told me that I changed, that I'm tacking care of myself now, but all what I do, I go to Ilona about every month and do my nails... I do pedicure there as well, not gel one though... yet... She is good! Thank you Ilona ;) read more

I began using the cleanser and scrub about a year ago and my face has improved a lot! I had severe acne and acne scars and this product has worked miracles for me. This is the best product I have ever used! read more

Ilona is wonderfully warm, professional, efficient and a joy to talk with. She also gives great tips regarding waxing - tips no one else has given me in the 10 years I've been getting waxed. read more

Best massage around. Ilona is magical with her hands. I'm a very active person who has an extensive background in martial arts. I've been getting body work on a weekly basis for the last 10 years. Ilona really knows her stuff. She gets in there and works out all the knots. I have my own consulting agency. I have a very hectic schedule. A massage with Ilona is the best hour long self care that leaves me refreshed and more energized to be productive and get things done. Check her out for yourself. read more

What a waste of time and money! I bought a spa package to Ilona's through Bullseye promotions. First it took 3 weeks to schedule an appt. with Ilona because she never answered the phone. After continuously trying to get an appt. for 5-6 weeks, she unexpectedly answered the phone one day and scheduled me. After I thought I finally secured an appt., she calls and leaves a voicemail one day before our scheduled time and says she has to cancel. I continuously called back to get rescheduled but she never bothered to call me back. Not even till this day which is a month later. I even drove by on several occasions only to find she was never open. Who runs a business like this!?!! I can't speak on her actual skills, however, I can say her work ethic and professionalism SUCK! Had I ever ahead of time, I would have never wasted my hard earned money on a scam shop like hers. I'm convinced she and Bullseye promotions are nothing more than a bunch of scammers only looking to take your money for services they never have intentions of providing you. Don't bother with this place or Bullseye promotions at that! read more

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing! I am 27 years old and recently started getting breakouts all over my chin. When it initially started I went to Ilona and she had made recommendations for skin care and products, but I was stubborn and thought I knew my skin better than she did and decided to treat and care my own skin. Fast forward a few months and my acne on my chin got worse and unbearable. I went in for an extraction, bought her face wash and moisturizer (Aeveka), all organic, listened to her recommendations for skin care and make up. My face has drastically cleared up and I havent gotten any new cystic zits on my face. I wish I had taken before and after images of my skin to show the drastic change! Amazing, caring and attentive to all my needs, I am now a forever client. read more

She is such a sweetheart and very knowledgeable in her field. She was the least painful Brazilian I've ever received. Plus I love the fact that she's located right near me. Free parking lot too which is great since so many places want you to pay for parking. I'd definitely return to her. read more

I found Ilona from a Groupon offer for a lash lift & tint and just kept going after that first appointment. Her lash lifts are very well done and last at least a month/month and a half (for me, anyway). I like that I don't have to wear mascara other than for a special occasion. I also ended up purchasing a set of microdermabrasion facials with an additional ultrasonic facial scrub and mask. I had it done yesterday and my face feels so smooth. I have a slight case of rosacea and had absolutely no flare ups with the facial. I can't wait until my next one! I also use her skin care line (I don't have it right in front of me but I think it's called Aaveka) and am very happy with it - the cucumber scent smells so fresh and clean and the resurfacing cream and day cream moisturize without feeling heavy or oily. When I arrived for my facial it was a very cold day (for Southern California) and the room was nice and warm with lovely soothing music playing and dim lighting - just like a luxurious spa. Ilona's office can be a bit hard to find the first time. I ended up going into a couple of different storefronts looking for her the first time I went. Her office is in a building on Ventura Blvd and Longridge St. but not facing the street. You have to park behind the building on the corner (the Bellweather restaurant is currently right on the corner) and use the back stairs. Ilona shares the offices with a photography company but her facial/workroom is completely private. Two thumbs up. read more

I started going to beauty by Ilona on a groupon and have been with her for over 2 years! She does a great Brazilian wax with attention to detail and always makes you feel very comfortable. She is also flexible and accommodating with my schedule! read more

Ilona is good at what she does, professional and sweet. Least painful waxing I've experienced. I tried several places but after I came to Ilona I haven't gone anywhere else for waxing since :) read more

Beauty by Ilona is my one-stop-shop for every beauty service I need! I've done a little bit of everything at Ilona's shop: great mani/pedi's (I just tried the shattered nail polish, which stayed on a long time and brought me so many compliments. I go to her for facials every month (my fave is the 4 layer face lift. My face feels as soft as a baby's bottom when she's through). Ilona is so professional and knowledgeable, so caring about my individual needs, and SO FRIENDLY. You know how sometimes you go get your nails done at a salon and you really feel like the people there are talking shit about you...right in front of you...but in a language you don't understand, so you can't do anything about it?! Well Ilona is the exact opposite. She's super friendly, inviting and down to earth. We always talk about the latest & greatest. I am a regular client of hers (it took me forever to find the time to write a review). I would strongly recommend her for all your beauty needs! You won't be disappointed =) read more

Worst gel manicure I've ever had. My nails were so healthy and so strong before going in and now they're flimy and ruined. And none of their gel colors were even close to their swatches. So upset. read more

I go to Ilona for waxing and facials. I have psoriasis so i was very worried about the treatments harming my skin. But Ilona uses all natural products that have no chemicals or harmful ingredients. I was very please with her work. She takes her time and is a perfectionist. She is also super flexible with appointment times and likes to work around you. She is very caring and seems to love her job. If her have any skin sensitivities go to her. She knows what to do. I recommend her to those who live in the valley as well as anyone who wants someone that's really hand ons. read more
