After the first session, the eyebrows were uneven. This was a shock as the natural brows after a…read morebrow wax and tint looks much better. But we were told the the cheek bone and over all bone structure was uneven, so the brow drawing followed such. Later as the brow healed, there were patches that were lightening up, and when it healed for the most part and the color evened, you can really see the unevenness of the brows. It was pointed out by so many people. The only hope, and the excuse we told people, was that it wasn't finished yet, and there would be a second and final touch up. The directions post op were followed to the tee. The final touch up, which is mandatory at this point, was an extra $200 on top of the $500. So that's roughly $700 investment before taxes and fees. We were a little uneducated on pricing of microblading/ombré brows as we only based our patronage from the referral of a person who's eyebrows we saw. Since the visit here, I've travelled to LA and NYC, and asked around Chicago downtown, and saw that the $700 total is up to par to the high-end salons that service brows. Where you're given much more salon treatment during, while waiting etc. I've also seen the works in person of brow artists who have done it on asian oily/dry skin, light colored skin, etc. And there's no problem with patching. The eyebrows also were done very evenly and nice, as if it were drawn in naturally, regardless of bone shape (no one's facial structure is even after all). The other shops also told me that O wouldn't need to come back until 1-2 years, but this place said 8 months to come back and pay $350 for another session. Like what? I retract my first statement. And definitely you're able to find downtown salons with greater customer care that check up on you post procedure for this price. The shape also of the brow isn't that great.

Excellent touchup of micro, blading eyebrows by expert aesthetician, Jenna!

Jenna checked with me how I want my eyebrows and I left it up to her expertise.

Plus microblade w feather strokes & smooth shading. Location is conveniently in River North with ample street meter parking, especially during the day. Beauty suite is within a very nice office building with easy access. Follow up in two weeks to make sure eyebrows are to my satisfaction.

I see her a few times a year for dermaplaning and laser treatment of broken blood vessels on my face and I am currently in treatment with her for laser hair removal. I am surprised by how well the laser hair removal has worked after only two treatments and I hope to get even better results after 2-4 more. Her facilities are clean and nice, but no frills - this is not a pamper yourself experience; it is a cost-effective way to quickly get a treatment that you need. The only negative I can mention is that her hours are difficult if you work during the day - only one Saturday a month and she closes at 5pm during the week.

Josefina has branched off on her own and I couldn't be more thrilled for this talented microblading…read morespecialist. I had been contemplating and looking into microblading for years but delayed, and delayed more, because of timing and apprehension. I mean, this is something semi-permanent on MY FACE so this was no small decision! Finally decided to take the leap and after doing my due diligence and research, found Josefina. I felt confident in Josefina's artistry and skill after seeing countless examples of her work on Instagram. Josefina takes the time to explain the process in detail and is a perfectionist. She drew out my brows so I could actually see them before committing. Her lines are incredibly precise and beautiful. She does amazing work and took me from barely there brows to gorgeous brows. I can't thank you enough Josefina - what a world of difference this has made!

This review/rating is not about Josefina. It is about the Lip Blush Color results I received. My…read morelips are dark. I sent Josefina a photo of my dark lips to determine if the process would lighten my lips and add color. It did not. My lips were dry but never peeled. When I shared this with her after each session, she showed me pics of other client who had dark lips and successful results. She said instead of 3 sessions it may take 4 for me to get results. After 4 sessions my lips are the same color they were before. Her reviews show she is good at micro blading eyebrows but the lip coloring process did not work for me. So do your research before investing in this. I paid $1500 for a cosmetic procedure that did not work and she is $1500 richer. Beware!

I started to receive text messages from GLAMD in early July, pushing my laser hair removal appointment with Laser Luxe out for multiple reasons. I rescheduled twice and patiently waited until August only to receive yet another text message from GLAMD notifying me that Laser Luxe was no longer with them. The number GLAMD provided to those who had prepaid packages goes straight to the voicemail of someone named Jessica @ Pin Me Up Chicago who has yet to return my voicemails. GLAMD will not answer the phone, only sometimes a text message, and has basically left their customers high and dry.

If you want a mediocre and embarrassingly bad experience, then this is the place for you. I booked Marissa for ombre powder brows in August, after a friend recommended her to me (this friend has since reversed course and no longer recommends Marissa - we both had the same poor experience). I paid in full for the service, which included a post-appointment touch up. I was initially happy with the results, but they faded after a two weeks. Marissa assured me that the color would eventually "lift" and that I should give it a few months to see better results. Two months later, the color never lifted and my brows had literal GAPS in them, so I reached out in late October for a touch up (the touch up is included in the total price). To book Marissa, you DM her on instagram. I DM'd her on October 14th to schedule a touch up. She responded immediately that she would "get back to me"...two weeks went by with no response. I DM'd her again on Oct 27, and she finally got back to me. We scheduled for the upcoming Friday. I work in consulting, so my schedule is insane, but I was able to rearrange meetings with clients specifically to get this done. Friday at 3:45, as I was already IN THE CAR driving to her salon, she texts me that she needs to cancel. I'm annoyed, but whatever - things happen. We reschedule for Sunday. She completely ghosts me on sunday and never responds to my texts. Finally she responds and we reschedule (for the 3rd time) for Wednesday afternoon. On Wednesday, about half an hour before my appointment (literally as I am getting into my car to drive to the appointment) she texts again that she needs to cancel because of...construction? This was the first time I had heard about this "construction", and it sounded to me like she was running out of excuses to keep cancelling. By this point, I was pretty angry because I had to rearrange my entire work schedule (for the 2nd time). I texted her "You tell me when you you're open and I can move things around". No response. By 7pm that evening, it was obvious she was never getting back to me, and I decided to write her off completely. I texted her and asked for a refund for the touch up that I had already paid for. Again...crickets. I finally gave up - you won, Marissa! Giving Marissa the benefit of the doubt, I would probably guess the reason for this extremely rude behavior is that Marissa is woefully naive and probably should not be running a business in the first place. I doubt her business will be open for much longer if this is the client experience she is offering her clients. On the other hand, it's possible she's running a scam. Guess I'll never know. TL;DR: There are plenty of other options for brow services in Chicago - don't risk your time and money on Marissa.
