Instead of helping me, he pressured me for my credit card info and tried to upsell and upcharge me for his own gain. I was told I'd receive a refund, but my bank confirmed I was charged again instead. To make matters worse, my bank also stated the CVV number is not required for refunds, which makes his behavior feel dishonest and scam-like. This broke all trust. If you consider this school, get everything in writing and be very cautious with your financial information!

They made us pay for our own products and do free labor for the majority of our time there it was honestly really sick the company would get paid while we'd give facials and we'd be lucky to make $1 they said it was apart of our training but it was so the company could make more money the teachers were clueless other than a nice male teacher who I believe owns it now and i highly suggest changing the name but this place is so bad i wish i went to aveda or one of the well known ones the products they gave us were dirt cheap manufactured "Estelle products" hahahaha what a joke. It's so unfortunate because my friends who went elsewhere learned everything and you guys taught me absolutely nothing and are focused on old school techniques European stuff come on time to invest in what skin care is all about it's one of the biggest industry's and you guys do the old school techniques with terrible products and free labor from students. Also everyone is supposed to have a graduation that goes into the tuition you pay and my class wasn't allowed to have a graduation such a cheap rude place don't go here I hate leaving these 1 star reviews they do kill me to leave but If i can prevent someone from coming here and going with a better program I have to speak my truth. I take pride in my position as a yelper to warn others of this cheap school in Skokie and spend extra money to actually be able to become an esthetician. Biggest scam. But I am so happy to speak my truth with this platform

I am sorely disappointed.. after the disaster of going through my lash lift through Milita (see…read morephoto evidence), I was upset. Milita offered to re-do some lash extensions at their expense, which I thought was really generous. However, after conferring with about 4-5 other lash studios and having them take a look at my lashes, they all advised me not to have any lash lift or lash extensions done to my eyes until they had time to fully repair. I waited several weeks and did not get a lash extension fill anywhere. Now that it has been months and my lashes have finally had time to heal, I sent an email to Milita asking for the lash extensions and even offering to pay. They declined me on the premise that "since we could not handle this privately, they cannot offer me any service." I am sorely disappointed in this entire situation. I have always been a huge supporter of the lash extensions at this place. I have only sung praises about the extensions. However, my eyes were burned and my lashes were fried, frayed, and simply unacceptable after the lash lift that the tech tried to do on me. I know that it isn't just my lashes because I was able to get the lift right at another location (see my other reviews). Rather than making good on their promise to allow me to have lash extensions done, I am now denied service entirely. When I expressed my frustration at the situation, I was emailed back that they simply did not want to make me unhappy again. Which makes no sense as I had only sung their praises at the beginning (see below) and have never been disappointed in the lash extensions. Regardless, it makes me feel as though I am being denied future service because of a poor review I left on some genuine low-quality service that really did damage my lashes and ruin a lot of my self-esteem for a while. I would never return to get that service, but I am sorely disappointed that I am not welcome back for the services I did enjoy. I will move on to another location.

High praise for Anna's work here. I had bought a groupon for a 90 minute facial from Anna for an…read moreinsane $69, so wasn't expecting superstar work. I call on a Thursday trying to get an appointment for the next week, she squeezes me in on Sunday afternoon. For me, there are two things that define a good facial. 1) Thorough extractions with no scarring, and 2) the therapist doesn't leave the room for extended periods of time while you steam or have a mask. The first time I went in, Anna probably spent 30-40 minutes doing extractions after a thorough steam. Plus, she massaged my hands and shoulders while I was steaming or letting my mask dry. My face looked great. I have since been back for another facial and a microdermabrasion. The microderm did not cut my skin, and was glowing for days afterwards. If you missed the groupon, there's a pretty good chance she'll let you come in for your first appointment at the groupon price. The facility: is essentially in an office building, so don't expect a full spa with locker room and tea. If you want a lazy spa, spoilation day, this isn't your spot. If what you really want is your skin to be taken care of, then come see Anna. She can be a talker, so if you want silence during your treatment, make sure to let her know ahead of time.

They do accept walk-ins, which was great - just note that they do get a steady flow of patrons, so the wait time may take 10+ minutes. We came here for threading services, but was surprised that 95% of the service was done using wax. I am not sure if there was a hearing or a communication issue, but I did call ahead to confirm as well as stated the specific request in person, so there shouldn't have been any confusion? I am thinking this pivot of the service was due to the pressure of attending to all the waiting customers, and since there was only one person on shift, everything was rushed through. The results were okay, but could have been a bit more cleaned up and more attentive. Due to the high reviews on this place, we thought it would have been exponentially better. Unfortunately, we will be returning to our usual salon. If a service amounts to $25+, they will accept card; otherwise, it's cash only. +$25+ services accept card; all others require a cash payment +swapping of threading to waxing +located in Boulevard Plaza +parking available in lot
