Narumi left and I wouldn't go even if they paid me. I did notice, they do not post their Illinois licenses on the walls as required by Illinois law, do you know why???? Do the math The business above doll in a dash is a gym, the ceiling bounces when they drop weights and bits of the ceiling falls on you while you are lying down, I can't read more

Flavia is the absolute best. She's been doing my lashes for years and I would never go anywhere else. I consistently get compliments from people on my lashes and they are shocked when I tell them they are extensions because they look so real and gorgeous. Flavia will work with you to decide on the look you want before starting the service, so there are no surprises. And after she's done she will make sure you are 100% happy and ask if you want any adjustments (I've never needed an adjustment because her work is flawless.) She's also the kindest person and I look forward to every appointment just to catch up with her, or decompress, or sleep- she accommodates whatever vibe you need. This salon is special and I can't recommend Flavia enough. read more

I've been going to Lesley for my lash extensions for over a decade - I can't speak highly enough about their craft, work ethic, cleanliness, and customer service. I even moved to the suburbs a few years ago and have continued to make the trek downtown monthly for my lashes - I would never trust anyone else with something as precious as my eyes read more

The best lash studio in Chicago! Fair pricing, amazing services. The studio is clean and hygienic. Both Lesley and Flavia are meticulous. My lashes last long and look amazing every time! Highly recommend. read more

I absolutely love my new lashes!!! This was such an amazing experience. They call it a 'lash nap' for a reason - you're in a comfortable position lying down (not flat like some places!) with soothing music on. I got natural-looking lashes that exactly matched what I asked for and clear instructions on how to care for them. It's so awesome to wake up feeling pretty with automatic mascara and eyeliner :) read more

Doll in a Dash - Before and after lash extension - natural - Eyelash Service Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I just left after getting a lash lift and tint. This was my third appointment with Flavia since Narumi left. I have tried Flavia, hoping it would work out but do NOT spend your money or time at this salon. Every appointment was worse than the one before. the lift does not last, the tint is not the right color and I looked no different walking out after spending 150.00 for a service that was terrible. Do NOT go to this salon, there are better places in Chicago. read more

I saw Flavia today. She was swift, detailed and meticulous! If I were local I would be seeing her regularly! I couldn't have been happier. read more

Ive noticed a lot of great reviews for their lash lifts, tints, etc... but the lash extensions were an absolute no for me. To pay $200.00 for individual eyelash extensions and to get clusters falling out after two weeks of install is ridiculous. I was trying to get a refill and then I realized I received half ass service for a steep price...Never again.. waste of money and possible damage to my own nice lashes.. really disappointed. Don't have the energy to debate about this read more

Doll in a Dash - Lashes - Eyelash Service Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Amazing eyelash extensions and service!! My usual eyelash lady wasn't available and I needed to get them done last minute before vacay and I'm so happy I found this place!! I have gone in to see Narumi 6x+ and each time they are were amazing. I barely needed any touch ups after the first 4 weeks but we went ahead and make them thicker. The customer service is amazing and they explain everything they are doing and why. Plus they play amazing music and the spot is super funky and cute. HIGHLY recommend to anyone!! read more

Lesley is incredible and her passion for beauty is clear as day. And, the space is ADORABLE - cozy, kitschy, warm, and secluded. My 2018 resolution was to put more effort into my physical appearance. As someone who is traditionally low-maintenance, the experience was effortless and comfortable. Lesley is perfectly transparent and candid about the process, the aftercare, and common questions/concerns her clients have. Pricing was fair and Lesley suggests fills based on your eyes' natural lash shedding cycle. Pro tip: the location is below street level, so make sure to look for the neon sign and follow the stairs down to the basement. read more

Narumi is amazing! Such a natural look, but I feel like a new person every time she finishes.

I can't say enough great things about Doll in a Dash! I love the decor and it's super comfy and relaxing! And I am always able to find easy street parking, which is a major plus! I have been going to see Flavia for about a year now and I absolutely adore her. She does an amazing job! I get so many compliments on my lashes and have so many people ask me where I get them done, which is totally a testament to the quality of her work. Not only is she fantastic at doing lashes, she is also a phenomenal person. She is kind and funny, and I love spending the time that I'm there chatting with her! She's the best! read more

This is one of the best kept secrets in lashes. Situated in a cozy establishment in River North, every time I walk in it feels like I'm just going over to a girlfriend's place to hang out. They are always so incredibly welcoming and I never feel like it's yet 'another appointment' I have to attend. Flavia is the absolute best - her charisma and professional demeanor are what always keep me coming back. She knows exactly what you want and is incredibly detail oriented. I see her on a regular basis and every time she treats me as if I'm a first time client. If you have any concerns, she has your undivided attention and will always give the best tips. Additionally, while you're getting your lashes done, there's fun or soothing music (depending on that day's mood), and the beds are super comfy - they even give you blankets if you're wanting to take a nice nap while getting your lashes done. I cannot recommend this place enough - I don't want this place to get overcrowded but couldn't help giving them a stellar review as they're the absolute best in the game in my opinion. read more

This is seriously the best kept secret for lashes in Chicago! I've been seeing the team at Doll in a Dash for about 6 months and it has changed my life. I travel a lot, and will say that my lashes last through anything - including a 2 week safari in Africa, and many long, long flights to Asia and Europe. I arrive looking stunning (or at least my lashes do!). I also had a runner's injury surgery taken care of at the end of June. As my surgery buddy kissed and hugged me before they took me off to surgery (no makeup, thick glasses on), she said... "my goodness, your lashes are STILL on point!" Need i say more? I so look forward to every visit, cozying up on the table in the sweet little studio. See you soon, Flavia! read more

I'm so impressed with my lash lift by Lesley! Exceeded expectations 100%. Cannot wait to go back! read more

Amazing lashes! I've been coming here for years to get eye lash extension from Leasly. Lesley is meticulous and a perfectionist. She's kind, helpful, and very reliable. Your lashes will look amazing! I've recently done a few treatments of the Keratin lash lift with Narumi and love the results!! Narumi is amazing with the lift!! read more

Doll in a Dash - Post 2nd keratin treatment. They become more separated after you wash your face. Amazing if you want a very natural lifted look! - Eyelash Service Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

* This review is v overdue * First and foremost Lesley is such an amazing person, and she goes above and beyond to make her clients happy. After 11 years of being a lash-puller I figured it was time for me to start treating myself better. I got extensions somewhere else, and although the other girl did a decent job when I told her about my lash problem she didn't care and just told me to keep getting the lash refills. That never solved my issue though because my real lashes would eventually start growing underneath and I would just want them out. Luckily, Lesley really understands what I'm going through and we decided I needed to grow my natural lashes out again. Lesley started giving me the Yumi Keratin lift a few months ago, and I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to fall in love with their natural lashes. I'm sure I'll get extensions from Lesley soon, but for now, I'm growing out and loving my real ones. She also has a new employee, Narumi who does a great job on the Yumi lift (she gave me the procedure when I went in this time around). You can't go wrong at this place :) read more

I had another amazing experience at Doll in a Dash with Lesley! The main reasons I love coming here is : 1.) She is a professional. For a service at this price point, you want someone who knows what they are doing. Extensions is what she does all day every day of the week. 2.) I did my research, and this beauty boutique consistently (over many years) has happy, repeat customers--myself included now. She has an excellent track record for good quality hair extensions that last and look natural. 3.) I leave looking like I have celebrity hair! It's not too over the top (very natural. In fact, no one has ever suspected my hair was not my own in the 10 months I had them on). My most recent experience: This was my third application of a klix hair extensions with Lesley. I came back after enjoying my full head of beautiful hair extensions for a little over 3 months. I originally decided to get hair extensions because I wanted more volume and and a dramatic change in length. I love that these extensions do not use glue or tape for application, which has caused extensive damage to my hair in the past. I also love my klix extensions, becuase I can treat them as I treat my normal hair....I wash them regularly, dye them, and get them blown 2-3 times a week. Removal is a breeze; . After removal, which took maybe 20 minutes, my natural hair looked great still (healthy and as full as it was before I had extensions, what a relief!)! I had a new set of klix extensions applied, and I love them! Lesley is the BEST hands down! She's extremely experienced, does such an amazing job, and truly knows her stuff. She's smart and detail-oriented. I am soooo happy to have found her My advice to those who try extensions, make sure you take care of your hair investment! Brushing and caring for them will let you enjoy them for a long time and your natural hair will not be damaged from matting/tangling! Mine definitely will last longer this time around now that I'm experienced with caring for them. ******************************************************************************************************************* I see Lesley for hair extensions....which is why I decided to go for the eyelashes too! That's it...I will say it...Lesley is the eyelash queen!!! I will be with her for the long haul! It was my first time getting eyelash extensions and was a little scared on the whole process. She was so patient with me and explained the entire process and gave me tips on how to keep my lashes in great shape. The application was so relaxing too. She has done a great job with making her space so comfortable, clean and welcoming. Lesley as a person is so sweet, considerate and a true professional in her craft. If you ever have any questions or concerns all you do is send her a quick email and she responds right away. Same goes for scheduling. She has a super efficient online booking system that makes booking a breeze as well as the fact that she has the best and most accommodating hours i have foun dyet! My lashes look so natural and beautiful. It is one of those things where you know something is different but it is not a crazy change. She can customize a look for you too just tell her exactly what you want. Compared to other places I have researched, her prices are beyond reasonable for the quality of work she does. I really would not go anywhere else, happy to have found her!! read more

Lesley and Narumi are the best! I am always looking forward to my fills for so many reason. These ladies are awesome perfectionists, and I know I will always be feeling/looking great when I leave. They're honest, and truly want you to learn how to treat and maintain your lashes. As an added bonus, Lesley's contagious spirit puts me in such a great mood every time. read more

Everyone will warn you once you start you can't stop and I'm 100% ok with this. Got a referral from a friend for Narumi and she is amazing. I never have to apply and remove mascara again and I wake up with amazing eyelashes. This has literally changed my morning routine and life. Great response rate, online booking and service. I recommend booking as far out as you can as schedules move up. Lay down, take a nap and wake up with amazing lashes read more

Update: it has been 2 days since I got my lashes done and my eye is so irritated that I had to go to urgent care. read more

Narumi is amazing! She did a lash lift on me and my reaction when I saw them "Holy shit!" They are beautiful, looks like I have extensions and are exactly what I wanted. The place is as cool and relaxing as it can get! Her communication skills are the best ever in getting back to you and answering all of your questions. Besides the wonderful job she does, she is a caring and great person. I highly recommend!!! read more

I love Doll in a Dash! I've gone to Flavia, Narumi and Lesley for a lash lift and all three do an amazing job. Flavia is so fun to talk to and makes the time fly by. She truly cares about the end result and won't let you leave until she knows you are 100% satisfied. read more

I see Narumi for my lashes. She does an amazing job. The lashes appear natural and afford me the opportunity not to have to wear make-up. She is super professional and always puts me to sleep from the relaxation. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Super friendly. Great space. read more

I love Doll And A Dash. I used to get my eye lashes and hair extensions from Lesley. My hair extensions lasted 8 months. Which is unheard of. If I did not move away I would still be going to Lesley. She's great at what she does! I highly recommend read more

The name says it all, my boyfriend gifted me diamond stud earrings after 1 month of lashes with Lesley. Need I say more? She is very clean, thorough a clean lash is a happy lash ladies... Love her and this adorable space she calls the Doll House. read more

I am hooked on having my lashes done at Doll in a Dash (and I'm in my 70's). Lesley is a great technician and a real perfectionist. She treats you like she would treat a friend and makes you look simply beautiful. She NEVER makes you feel like she is just there to get the job done as fast as possible and move on to the next client. My lashes often last for a month. Lesley really knows and loves the business and also keeps up on the latest lashes and lash products....so you know you are getting the best. I have had to go to other technicians while on vacation or out of town but nobody has ever done as wonderful a job as Lesley. She is also conveniently located downtown so you can have your lashes done at lunchtime or after work...very convenient! If you are thinking about getting lash extensions or are not happy with your current technician...give Leslie and Doll in a Dash a try. You won't regret it. Carol S read more

Doll in a Dash - Eyelash Service Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. Lesley is a miracle worker. I was super skeptical about eye lash extensions and did hours of research for several places in Chicago. I asked about every possible question that could be asked and ended up going to Doll in a Dash out of the 50 places that I researched. Let me say that I am SO glad that i did! I walked in and Lesley was welcoming and got right to work. She made sure to educate me on what to do etc. Best part, my lashes look phenomenal. They are natural but give me that exciting kick that I needed. They are more full and the length is perfect. I have big eyes so she knew the exact length to make them look just perfect. Thank you Lesley! read more

Just had another fill with Lesley & of course it was perfect. Cannot say enough good things about her! She is so good at what she does. The best part is that she LOVES her job & it reflects on the work she does! I dont think I'll ever be able to go to anyone else! Love love loooove her! :) read more

Amazing amazing what more can a girl say. If your like me and don't write a ton of reviews but when you know a good place, you have to just get in here and tell the world. Don't listen to the review below that's crying about not getting an appointment without booking a month out, hmmmmm I think that probably means to plan ahead as they don't get lashes but then again who am I to say.lol Lesley is amazing and her team is wonderful, such a fun n creative place to go too. Lesley is top notch and knows what she's doing, I mean the girls been doing it for years. She's definitely been my go to girl off and on for 4 years now, but don't take my word for it. Go book and book accordingly not bad reviewer down below cause guess what if you can get an appointment the day of you might need to do a bit more research on beauty. Kisses!! :)) read more

I had an appointment with Narumi who is the new technician and i was a little nervous, but I AM SO HAPPY with my lashes!!! I have gotten them done a lot and they feel so lightweight and natural. She customized exactly the style to my liking. Thank you for making me pretty! read more

Lesley is awesome!!! I'm a perfectionist in some ways (crazy I know) and what I love about Lesley is how particular she is about her work. Not only is her work fantastic, but she really makes you feel relaxed and genuinely cares about her clients. It's also an added bonus she has a flexible schedule (on top of being very responsive) so you don't have to book 3 months in advance to schedule time. I would recommend Lesley to anyone in the city; worth every penny read more

Lesley is amazing! This was my first time getting eyelash extensions and picked Doll in a Dash based on the Yelp reviews. Lesley exceeded my expectation and so much more! The whole process was easy (I was a little nervous going into it) and I am so in love with the results! I chose the Natural Set and am more than impressed with how they look. Price is VERY reasonable for the Chicago area. Ladies, if your debating getting eyelash extensions, go to Lesley! read more

Meticulous! Narumi does lashes with unbelievable precision, every lash in the perfect spot. She also took the time on my first appointment to ask about my lifestyle, how active I was and then we talked about the best look for my eyes taking into account practicality for me to maintain between sessions. She's just amazing! read more

I LOVE my lashes!! They last for three weeks and look so natural! Lesley is just a gem! She's so great at what she does and she has an amazing ability to connect with people. She helps you find the perfect lash length to suit you, but will also go a little longer if you like. Very accommodating and very relaxing. I highly recommend her! read more

I absolutely LOVE Doll in a Dash. I have been to several lash stylists all over the city/country for my lashes and Flavia is, hands down, the best lash artist in the industry. I have very sparse, thin natural lashes which most stylists overpower with long, heavy volume lashes to compensate for the sparseness. Not Flavia. She expertly applies the perfect length/volume every time which gives me an extremely natural look. In fact, my lashes have improved since I have been seeing her. Although I get compliments constantly, no one knows that I have extensions which is great because I'm an actress and the last thing I want at an audition is to look "overdone". Besides being a talented artist, Flavia is also a really awesome person and I look forward to catching up with her during my appointments. The space itself is extremely comfortable, clean, cozy, and super cute. The owner and other technician are extremely approachable and super friendly. I can't say enough about this place! If you are in the market for gorgeous lashes, call Flavia! read more

I agree with all of the posted reviews! Doll in a Dash might just be my favorite Chicago find. Not only is Lesley Herbert brillant at what she does, she is personable, reasonably priced and maintains a flexible schedule. I have tried several lash spots in Chicago and they were either too expensive or the quality was just too cheap. Lesley solves for both of these issues and her location is great! Perhaps against my more selfish desires, I continue to sing Lesley's praises to my friends and because a gem like this is so hard to find, I couldn't help but share on Yelp. read more

Lesley recently did my hair for a boudoir shoot and she was incredible!!! So professional and thoughtful and quick and on top of everything. She made sure not only to do a beautiful job on my hair quickly bit she also did changes and touch ups for 2 other outfits and kept the whole show running smoothly and made me feel great!!!! Lesley is outstanding at everything she does! read more

I cannot even explain how much I love Lesley and Doll in a Dash! I get stopped on the street so many times that I should permanently promote for this company! Seriously, I love the attention to detail, how long they last, and of course spending time with Lesley. She is such a wonderfully sweet, knowledgable, and kind hearted gal that does a fantastic job with lashes as well as hair! I get my lashes done once or twice a month and I am truly hooked. She cut my extensions for me and also did an amazing braid for me on my birthday and they looked fabulous. I always leave looking and feeling like a princess. read more

Lesley is the best! Great service and amazing product. Worth every penny!
