I called a number of times and she never answered my calls or attempted to call me back.

I was moving from Indiana to Chicago and was referred to Liz by my old lash tech. Let me side bar…read morethis real quick-- my previous lash lady worked in Granger, IN and drove all the way to Schaumburg, IL to get her lashes done by Liz. That is 2.5 hours, folks! That's some serious commitment. That was more than enough to convince me to try her out. I started using Liz as soon as I moved and have been using her ever since. It has been about 3 years. Full transparency, I have tried other lash services in Chicago over the years in hopes to eliminate making the drive to the suburbs every few weeks. Let me tell you, it has never been worth it. The quality of Liz's services, lashes and technique by far surpass any of the other companies or products I have tried...and there have been many. I finally stopped trying other places because why mess with a good thing ;) For those of you who are reading reviews for cost purposes, I will let you know that she comes in very competitively. In my opinion, where she beats everyone coming in the same range, is the length of time the lashes actually stay on. Most places advertise three weeks, but I have only successfully experienced that with Liz. Aside from my personal love for my lashes, I am constantly getting compliments on the uniqueness of my lashes and the quality. I highly recommend her.

From the moment I walk in, she makes me feel completely comfortable and taken care of. She really listens to what I want and always tailors each facial to exactly what my skin needs.

If you're looking for someone who truly cares, pays attention to detail, and delivers consistent, beautiful results, Beth is the one. Highly recommend!

She takes her time shaping your brows so they come out perfect. She explains the after care very well, provides a little after care kit, and the follow up appointment is also excellent.

I highly recommend her microblading service.

I appreciated the attention to detail and conversation, next time I will not be so chatty though. I think my socialising was on overdrive, and extended the appointment an hour longer that it should have gone. Either way, she is the best aesthetician I've been to for brows ever... including places in Vegas, land of the most lashes and permanent makeup places ever... Definitely go see her (shop is inside the Salons by J) setup near the Ross strip mall

Mariana is completely professional and she does meticulous and precise work! My first impression…read morewhen entering her shop is that it's very clean, pristine, sanitized, and welcoming. It's minimalist in design and function, which is fine. Her room where the magic happens is equally clean and sanitized and she is highly organized. Everything is arranged with professional attention. She takes you through each step of the procedure and calms your nerves. I have been contemplating micro blading for the past couple of years and always chickened-out. After reading her website, reviews and photos on Yelp, and then calling her and having a very pleasant phone conversation, I was convince she was the right choice. I'm so glad I went with my intuition. She takes her time, does not rush through the process, lets you know what's going on, and is very supportive. The whole process is about 3 hours, which includes signing paperwork, discussing the procedure, the markings on your face, my approval of the shape, then the micro blading. She has a gentle touch and a steady hand. When it was finally over and I looked in the mirror and I very pleased! I would highly recommend Mariana if you're thinking of doing the micro blading on your eyebrows.

The size, shape and placement are less than ideal. 2) Havy and/or her assistant said microblading lasts for 18-24 months which is misleading. Microblading is permanent.

I got microblading from Havy in July 2017. I did some research and thought I understood the…read moreprocedure and felt confident in the reviews I read for Havy's work. Havy is very sweet and personable and made me feel very comfortable at the appointment. However, I was naive and did not understand that semi-permanent means that microblading is PERMANENT but will partially fade over time. Havy simply stated it would last anywhere from 1-2 years, which caused me to believe it would go away completely after a few years if I did not like it. Furthermore, I had a similar experience to many of the other reviewers - Havy shaved off part of my real eyebrow on the right side and microbladed far above my natural eyebrow in an effort to "even them out". The result is a much higher arch on the right side and I cannot grow in my real brows without having the two "tail" effect other reviewers have complained about. My eyebrows are also not at all even. Granted I have not gone back to have this procedure redone since my first touch up (because I just want my natural look back), but I am now in a situation where I have to figure out how to remove the microblading because I look ridiculous. It is embarrassing. I basically have half an eyebrow where there is no hair because it does not line up with where my eyebrow hair grows in, and you can tell where my real eyebrow stops and the microblading begins. Instead of creating more low-maintenance brows that are effortless, I have to wear make up and put in a lot of work to even them out daily. I regret the procedure and cannot believe I spent over $500 to mess up my face. Havy should have better explained that this would be permanently on my face and she should NOT be shaving off anyone's natural brow and tattooing somewhere else entirely. If anyone has had success in removing bad microblading, please send me a message. Thank you.

I have had a very similar experience a previous reviewer. I saw Nicolette out of her home and she…read moremade me feel comfortable instantly. I am a cosmetologist in Chicago and have grew up owning/running a beautiful, high end salon and spa with my mom. I was pleased to feel relaxed and be able to trust her with my brows within a few minutes of consulting with her. She numbed my eyebrows and we talked and she micro-bladed my brows for $550 and I tipped her $100. She told me if I refer anyone she would give me a $100 kickback, which I thought was awesome because I had a friend who I'd send her way. Excited about the referral program, since I also offer referral programs within my salon and that is the best way to build your business. I loved my brows the first apt she did, but like she states on her site and in person they are NOT complete until the touch up appointment that she includes in her fee of $550. I was looking forward to the touch up, since she told me after the first appointment they may fade a lot. They faded almost completely, which is fine because I knew I'd be back for the touch up since she includes that in her prices. Fast forward to several messages and texts, a phone call to try and book my touch up appointment... I also made a comment on her professional page because it was getting ridiculous 3 weeks and no response. She was even posting on her Instagram and Facebook about booking new clients and her work but no response to me. I sent my co-worker to her to get her brows, which she mentioned to Nicolette that I referred her and asked again about the referral bonus- nothing. I was never was able to make a touch up appointment, never was able to get the referral bonus and or get a response. It was going on 5 weeks and thinking I totally got scammed- I was not going to just give up because a) I am in the beauty business and I know professional clientele etiquette, it is not appropriate over a month for response to book an appointment and 2) if you say you're going to give a referral kickback you better stand by your word. I was super sad and disappointed. Especially since it was my birthday gift from my husband and just felt totally let down. Needless to say, I contacted my bank and credit card to explain the story, prove the non-responsive texts and everything-basically say that I paid for TWO services at the time of booking- but received one and was scammed. Super bummed. Thankfully, I was refunded some money back and although I feel completely scammed by someone who seemed so kind and friendly (when she was getting paid by me) but then when the "free" Touchup was supposed to happen she disappeared.. She claims to be a professional, but not responding for weeks and being a woman of integrity and your word is not. I'm also bummed I never was able to get my brows finished and now paying double to get them completed by another artist. I have never in my life made a claim against someone through my bank or had paid for a service and been scammed like this. Hopefully she learns... I went to write a review on her Facebook page and noticed she removed all reviews off of her Facebook- go figure.
