I absolutely loved my experience! They offer amazing lash services and eyebrow threading, and they also provide waxing and facial treatments. The staff is friendly, professional, and pays great attention to detail. I'm so happy with the results--this is definitely my new go-to place! read more

I went here to get my lash extensions removed. The lady was really nice when I first came in, but once she put the remover on my lashes, she went straight onto TikTok Live and basically stopped paying attention to me. The remover was left on way too long, and at one point she came over and rubbed it into my lashes with her bare fingers. After sitting there for around 15 minutes, I finally had to call her over and ask how much longer it would be. She then started removing my lashes rather aggressively and got the remover in my eyes. It burned so badly that I couldn't keep bear it and had to sit up and it was just awful and i was cursing and all this things because of how bad it was. She tried wiping it away with a wet cotton pad, but it just made the burning worse (mixing the water and the BURNING solution into my eye). I ended up having to go into their bathroom to rinse my own eyes out, and the bathroom was honestly disgusting so that sucked too. The craziest part is she didn't even remove all of my lash extensions. She charged me $25 like everything was fine and didn't apologize once. I sat in my car for a few minutes, and the more I thought about it, the more I realized I shouldn't have paid for a service that wasn't even completed and left me in so much pain. I went back inside to ask for a refund, and she immediately started arguing with me. She kept saying the burning was "normal." I've had my lashes done and removed before, and this was way beyond normal irritation. Her only solution was to have me sit back down so she could finish removing them, which I obviously wasn't comfortable with after what had just happened.When I asked to speak to someone else, she said she was the manager. She just stood there asking me what I wanted, and when I asked for a refund, she shrugged and refused. I honestly don't know if they're properly trained or certified to be doing lash removals. Leaving chemicals on while you're distracted on TikTok Live, using your bare hands around someone's eyes, and sending someone home with lashes still on after getting remover in their eyes is completely unacceptable. I definitely won't be coming back and will be escalating this issue to the city. Such a terrible attitude for 25 dollars, they must be desperate. read more

I have thick eyebrows I usually maintain them myself to keep the natural. First of all the woman who did them I had no clue what she was doing. There was no shaping involved . She removed the end of my one eyebrow making it bald tail . The worst part is when I pointed it out to her she acted like she didn't know what was the problem all of a sudden and she couldn't speak English they definitely is a language barrier . Lash lift was a total disaster. I wouldn't not recommend this. Nothing about this place . Not even clean. Pay more and go to Anastasia read more

I'm very disappointed, I was recommended to come here for great service on eye lash tint and lift. It's been only 2 days and my eye lashes are back to normal. Not only that when I called to schedule I asked how much was the service they stated $70 when they finished doing my lash lift and tint she stated it was $80. I understand this a small business and what not but I'm a paying customer and if there products aren't going to do the proper job that I'm paying service for, just don't do it! You waste your money here! I'm never coming here again! read more

So I knew I was going to like this place as soon as I searched it up on google. I didn't expect them to do such a beautiful job. The ladies are very professional and courteous.

If youre in the portage park area look no further. They will take care of you and youll want to come back. read more

The WORST experience I have ever had in regards to customer service. If you want to get your lashes done in a respectful place, this place is not for you. I called ahead to make an appointment for lash extensions. When I got there the lady was threading another customers eyebrows. I waited for 10 mins which was fine. When I finally got seated and she started, a customer walked in . The technician left me to take care of this customer and told the walk-in to sit in the 2nd chair and she can do their eyebrows right now, in the middle of my service. She left me hanging several times with glue on my lashes to take care of either the walk-in customers eyebrows, or left to schedule service with another walk-in. I even overheard her say to the walk-in to come at 5.00PM, she has an appointment with a regular, but the customer is nice and so can wait very unprofessional. I told her I was tight on time and I scheduled this appointment, and would like my service completed before she takes care of the walk-in customer. She was not happy that I told her this and she rushed to finish my lashes. She said this is how we do it and we accept walk-ins. I still tipped her but I'll never go back there. Worst service! read more

I've been coming to Elite for threading and lashes for a long time and I love the staff here! They're always friendly and do an excellent job on their services. I've also gotten henna, massages, lash lift, and yesterday I got my makeup done for a wedding I was attending. Rashi did an amazing job with my makeup! I got so many compliments and all my pics came out great! I also love that this is a woman owned, minority owned business in my neighborhood. Highly recommend! read more

I usually get my eyebrows done at Beauty Castle on Belmont, but I was in a pinch and couldn't get an appointment so I walked here since it's close to my house and had decent reviews. Big mistake that I'll never make again. The price of a wax ($8) shouldve been a red flag but I took my chances. The first thing I noticed when I sat down was how dusty all the counter surfaces were and the floor clearly hadn't been swept or mopped in quite some time. Then the wax used on my face was luke warm at best. The process itself was no more painful than usual, but when she started using a cotton pad to clean off the brows I felt an intense pain on my right brow. I squealed and asked if I had a cut there and she said no, my skin is just sensitive. I opened my eyes and saw blood on the pad and asked if I was bleeding, she said no. After looking in the mirror I saw that I was very red in that spot and she assured me that my skin is just "too sensitive" and told me to use aloe when I get home. By the time I got home there was plasma dripping down my eyelid and the pain was intense. I googled what happened and found out that wax that isn't warm enough tears the skin. DO NOT GET WAXED HERE! read more

I've been here twice. Just left an appointment with Samreen and all the stars are for her! I came in for a leg and bikini wax but then decided to do a full body to get rid of dead skin cells. I'm shy but she made me feel so comfortable that I did my first Brazilian and she was super quick and professional and kept reassuring me that the first time is the worst :) Well I survived and am thankful she was so patient with me! I will definitely be back! One small note is that the lady from the front just opened the door (both times i have gone) to ask her question which wasn't a huge deal but if i was getting my bikini done at the time I would have been upset. She is nice and everything, but my advice to her is to knock and wait for someone to say it is ok to come in. read more

I've been coming to Elite Beauty Salon for the longest to get my eyebrows done ( which they always do an amazing job) but I've never tried any other services. Amy recommended for me to get my lashes done. I was skeptical because I've had many bad experiences in the past with other lash artists. But I decided to give it a try for my birthday and ended up getting a mega volume lash set with purple accent by Rashi. It came out amazing !! They are so fluffy , big and dark ( just like i like them ) The retention is amazing ! I've had these lashes for over a week and they look like I just got them done yesterday! They are sooooo beautiful ! It feels great to wake up in the morning and not have to worry about putting mascara or lash strips on. They're so beautiful alone that I don't even put on makeup like I used to ! If you're thinking about getting your lashes done , even if you're skeptical, go get them done here with Rashi! You won't regret it I promise ! read more

Let me just first say, Rashi the one and only employee there is amazing. She literally runs the whole entire store and is a jack of all trades but not sure if she's a master of eyelashes. The shop is clean and the prices are decent. Brows $8 and lashes was $75 for fills. Parking our front is easy but metered. She is amazing at eyebrows and really does a fantastic job! My eyebrows looked natural and I wasn't in pain from the threading. But my experience with eyelashes hmmm were not as great. I usually go to a shop that only does eyelash and the quality of the eyelashes were thick and heavy. Sure they looked great at first but the glue was thick and the eyelashes were coarse. It didn't look natural nor were they even in the way they were placed. I think I'll be going back for eyebrows but probably will stick to my lash salons for lashes. Hope that helps! read more

Threading- subpar, but you can get by. They don't properly clean your brows so when you get home you'll notice you still have a unibrow. Eyelash extensions- so first off they lie and say they last months if you take care of them. Obviously as someone who has gotten their lashes done in the past I knew there was no way. I was getting my lashes done here from September to January. And at first they looked great. Lots of compliments. The second to last time I got my lashes done she let me know I would need to get them removed and get new set. So she would be charging me for the removal and a brand new set. Fast forward to my last appointment. It was on NYE and I was running late which upset Aimee(sp?) understandable. So instead of telling me she didn't have enough time for my appointment she decides to do my lashes and she said I didn't have to remove my previous set anymore. The whole time she's talking and helping her coworker with another client. While I am laying there with my eyes taped shut. So uncomfortable. That night, my lashes were super uncomfortable, I didn't understand why since I've gotten my lashes done before by Aimee. They were poking my lid as well as falling off. The next day was 1/1/22 (Saturday)so they were obviously closed. They're usually open on Sunday, but they closed for the weekend due to the holiday. They don't open Monday's so by Tuesday when I go back in Aimee says too much time has passed and that she will charge me to fix them. She says they don't guarantee their work and or the lash service. And that no place will guarantee their lash service. So rather than her making it right with me she would have rather lost a customer, gained a bad review and charged my $30 to "fix" my lashes which she only layered more lashes on top off my own. Therefore compromising my lashes. And even after the lashes she installed were poking my lids. After going to a professional lash artist I've learned that you are not required to remove a whole set and then get a whole new one. They also should not be glueing clumps of lashes onto your lash. As well as using as much glue as they do. This place requires an appointment for lashes but while you're laying there with your eyes taped shut they will take other clients that come in for threading. They are always offering "deals" and that should have been the first red flag. I've attached pics of the lashes I've now had professionally removed. read more

Rashi is amazing!!!!!!! I got my eyes lashes done for the first time with her. I started off with a classic set to see how I would feel with them and if I would like them. She was done in a hour and they came out looking great. I was complemented by everyone. They lasted me almost a month. Which to me is a while since I work out 3 to 4 times a week. I got another set them done by Rashi again and I decided todo the Hybrid whispi lashes and those didn't disappoint either. I now have a addiction. Thanks Rashi! -Margie read more

After moving to the downtown area I needed to find a new eyebrow place and came upon Elite beauty! First off, my brows have never looked better than the women I used to go to since I was 16. All I can say is my brows are more on fleek than ever! They had a deal for eyelash lift so I took it. The first try it wasn't great and I had called and told them my eyelashes went down. They didn't even charge me to get them fixed which is awesome! The second time I went I'm not sure of her name but she did a fantastic job! She did the perfect measure and she also does my eyebrows! I wish I knew her name but she's the tall petite lady with long hair. Anyways anyone in the area that needs eyelash lift or eyebrows done come here!! read more

Top notch for brows. I won't go anywhere else. I was guilty of overplucking in my youth and then let them get crazy during covid...I stopped messing with my brows in between appointments at Elite and they have totally fixed them and made them beautiful. They suggested I tint them which I never considered before and took them to a whole new level. Excited to try facials and lashes too. Highly recommend. read more

I've only had one session but immediately saw the benefits of getting this procedure done. I got my face derma-planned here a few weeks ago with Amy and I loved it. Dermplaning exfoliates the top layer of your skin and removes all unwanted peach fuzz leaving your skin sooo smooth. This helped brighten my complexion giving me a nice glow effect. Helps your skin products penetrate deeper too! I definitely recommend this procedure :) read more

The lashes looked good when first done. But once my lashes starting growing out I noticed something was majorly wrong. I have gotten lash extensions many times and this has never happened to me. I always take care of my lashes as well. They started growing out and they began to make my eyelashes all itchy. I also noticed them falling out in chunks. I also noticed extreme natural lash loss. My eyes were so itchy because she didnt properly isolate the extensions and she used too much glue. When i got back home, my usual lash tech saw that my natural lashes were damaged and all glued and stuck together with no isolation. She removed the set and saw the natural lash damage. My lashes were so weak and now i cant even get a new set without fear of damaging my natural lashes further right now. read more

*pictures taken a day after service* My first time going to this place and I loved it! Definitely will be coming back. I originally just wanted lash extensions and ended up getting the henna tint on my brows also. Rashi was really great. I love my lashes. I feel like other places look and feel so heavy on the eyes. I can barely feel them which I love! I got the hybrid fyi. I wasn't really sure how the tinting would turn out. I've had tinting before but I didn't like how they just seemed like a shadow on my brows. I really wanted it to look filled in. The henna tint really did that! read more

Elite has become my regular threading place since I moved to the city! For the price, you really can't beat the eyebrow threading ($8 if you pay cash, $10 if you use card).

I'll start off by saying I have received Brazilians more times than I can count and by different people. This by far was the worst experience ever. The only reason I tried this place is because they said they were available at short notice. 1. when I arrived the last appeared to not know that I had an appointment scheduled and questioned me on my appointment twice; although, I have the confirmation in my messages. 2. the place was slightly dirty. the cover on the table i was to lay on was dirty, but it did have a clean paper sheet over it. the sticks were all in a pile onto of the table that was not clean and even the wax warmer needs cleaning. 3. through out the wax I was told to help pull my own skin as she yanked the wax paper off. usually I'm asked to do this when my behind is being waxed, but never with the front. 4. she kept using wax paper that already had wax on it that she just used on me to pull off more wax. this resulted in the paper not coming off when yanked. so, she had to keep pulling a few times on the same paper to get it off. 5. I asked her to stop multiple times and she kept insisting to continue saying "its not even red." I asked her over and over to just leave it that I do not want to continue. finally she sprayed something on me and still tried using the paper to finish. I left with a half Brazilian, bleeding in some parts, extremely swollen, red red, and wax all on. and in case I was told that it's lies. I made sure to take pictures. THEN... I WAS STILL CHARGED even though the job wasn't finished and there were so many things done wrong. I even told the lady I cant believe im being charged. TO EVERYONE: PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND SKIP THIS PLACE. I would not want anyone going through the same experience as I did. read more

Great place! Love it! I did threading and full body wax. The personnel is very good and friendly! I am going back :)

I had an appointment at 11:00am and waited outside for 25 minutes and nobody showed. I also messaged their site and nobody responded. Another customer walked up and said "this is the second time I have come here and they haven't been open." Very unprofessional to make an appointment and than not be available or contact the customer to reschedule when running late. read more

I was so happy my sister brought me here for my very first eyebrow threading!! It's too far from Evanston but worth it. The place was nice, clean, spacious, and professional. The outside may fool you but I didn't get the heebeegeebees sitting in their like some places I've been at. The lady that helped me was super nice and professional. I've never had my eyebrows shaped, so I was very happy with the result and she wasn't rude to my sister and I when we were trying to make sure it looks good. I just really loved the place for a pleasant experience because you do hear a lot of horror stories for your eyebrow. As my culture says kilay(eyebrows) is life! read more

I really loved this place for eyebrows so much so that I suggested it to many people, however both they and I have had horrible experiences there since. My mom, who granted has relatively sensitive skin, explored with a facial here and her skin broke out in hives for the next week or so after. After this experience, I still wanted to give them another chance, and opted for a bikini wax before a vacation last June. The back room I was brought to had dirty sheets, but I let it slide. The woman who was working on me kept asking if I was OK after each strip she'd pull. I have a pretty high pain tolerance and said I was fine. After about 10 minutes of waxing (and her continuing to ask if I was alright), she stepped out of the room and brought in a colleague without even asking me. The two of them continued to investigate the situation and the new woman told me that there was some bruising. Mind you I'm half naked and the door of this back room is slightly ajar. Completely embarrassed, I say I'm fine and would like to be done (even though I still had hair down there). At check out, the owner offered me 10% my next waxing. This experience was completely humiliating and I will never return. Please do not offer services that you are not trained for. read more

Eyelash extensions started falling out in chunks the next day, by the end of the week there were barely any lashes left. I didn't get them wet at all for 48 hours and made sure to take care of them. Called the salon and the woman on the phone tried blaming me for the lashes falling out and wanted to charge me to get them fixed. Not worth the money at all read more

I tried this business based on Yelp reviews (on 4/9) but was very disappointed (3 star is generous). Had my eyebrows threaded...I was the only customer there but it was very rushed and she didn't put any extra effort on doing them. When I got home and looked in my bathroom lighting there were A LOT of hairs I had to clean up myself that should have been removed at appointment. Immediately when my partner (who notices nothing I do) saw me he asked what happened to my eyebrows and advised I not go again. Ouch...it was that bad.. honestly probably one of the worst thread jobs I've had in the city. Was going to book a facial but won't be going back after this experience. read more

Just got my eyebrows threaded.. they did an amazing job. Was in and out in about five minutes. No wait, minimal pain, definitely recommend!

I really want to like this place because it's so conveniently located for me. I've had my eyebrows threaded and tinted here a couple of times now. The first time they looked great. The 2nd time my eyebrows were tinted a ridiculously dark shade, and now I look like a clown. I want to preface this next part by mentioning that I really loathe high pressure sales. Each time I've been here they've tried to upsell, repeatedly. Trying to add on more services, especially their $75 lash lift. I also have to mention that I hated having 1 of the techs tell me that castor oil would get rid of sparse spots on my eyebrows. I was also informed that my eyebrows are uneven, due to the way the hair grows(i.e. nothing can be done about it.) But I was assured castor oil would make my eyebrows perfect and make my eyelashes amazing. If this were true a pharmaceutical company would have a patent on it. Did I mention that they sell bottles of castor oil? I haven't had a lash lift, but I was assured it's ok to wear contact lenses during the procedure. This sounds awfully dodgy to me. I don't have any experiences getting a lash lift, but I do know most places will ask you to remove your contacts for a lash tint. I'd like this place so much more if I could come in for eyebrow threading and tint without being hassled to add on services. read more
