Very nice, clean and pleasant atmosphere. I called to check about the terracyvle box. Inside is a wide area that is very inviting. They provide nail services and a variety of personal care products. Staff was nice to point me to where the recycling box is located. read more

What a gem of a place and such sweet, kind women working here. I was from out of town and got my nails done with a friend and just had such an enjoyable experience and time. The nails came out so good for both of us. If visiting Chicago or local this is your place to go for beauty treatments! I did the Dazzle Dry nails and the polish has really held up! read more

Incredibly unimpressed with the manicure. There was no top coat added, which I have never heard of or experienced anywhere before, and 24 hours later they're already chipped. The paint was uneven, and started so far below my cuticles it looks like I have over a week of outgrowth. There was also no dryer or UV light, I was told to just wait and air dry which I found odd for a professional salon. The massage/pedicure service I received was outstanding (though no top coat or dryer for that paint either), and the service was really good/friendly. I would recommend doing a massage service and going elsewhere for paint. read more

Lena Rose Beauty - Skin Care Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Had a wonderful experience at Lena Rose Beauty! They are very professional and the Solar Radiance was incredibly relaxing. My skin feel AMAZING weeks after! Will definitely be booking with Lena Rose again. read more

I took my daughter here for a mani/pedi and I got a facial and a body treatment. First, it is way overpriced. A 30-min. facial, a 50- min. body treatment, and a kid's mani/pedi was $305. The people are nice, but the services are not that great. The best part was all the good smells they use in the body treatment. Aside from that, they use very little pressure so everything is just kinda surface. The other issue is that it's freezing in there! My daughter and I were both super cold. All the stuff they put on your body is cold also, and my poor technician's hands were icy. So it was really not easy to feel relaxed. They have a lot of signage boasting the services and beverages they offer, but the staff doesn't all know what the services are, and they don't have half the drinks listed. I've lived down the street for a long time, so I'm glad I tried it, but will never go back or recommend it. read more

A few weeks ago, I was with some friends and we had been talking about wanting to get a pedicure. I stumbled upon Lena Rose when looking for a place in my neighborhood I might want to go. LR seems like a great place--I love that they concern themselves with ethical pay for their employees, and simply being a good workplace in general, by doing things that seemingly are atypical in the salon industry. I happened to be driving by and decided to stop since there was plenty of parking. The salon is small, but bright. A woman giving a manicure (perhaps the owner?) said hi to me as soon as I stopped in. I'd wanted to take a look at the no-chip colors, because I am considering getting a no-chip pedicure; however, I didn't want to go to the trouble and expense of booking an appointment if I didn't like any of the possible colors. Shortly after I came in another employee came over to me to ask if I needed any help, and they explained which colors are their "dazzle dry" and which are the no-chip. The dazzle dry is supposed to take only 5 minutes to dry, but from my understanding is not cured the way that no-chip polish is. I also appreciate that they use products that are toxin-free (or at least reduced). This does make their services more expensive than many other salons. They also sell various beauty products and other merchandise. I bought an mask and neck wrap to hopefully reduce some of the tension in my shoulders. I will say that one thing that's really annoying, and is what dropped my review a full star, is that it appears there are not prices on anything in the store. Nothing that I picked up--calendar, eye or neck pillows, face masks, etc.--had a price tag. I probably should have opted not to buy at least on of the things I bought because I spent a truly ridiculous amount on the three items I bought. I'm not sure if that's a tactic to get people to buy things just because they've grabbed them or what, but it is kind of uncool. Having said all this, I think I would like to come in for a pedicure and possibly a manicure. Given how expensive they are, I may wait a while, but I get a pedicure so infrequently that I can justify it occasionally, especially if I were to do one of the longer-wear services. read more

I have been here a few times for manicures -- maybe that's just not their thing. Incredibly disappointed multiple times; I even had to go get my wedding nails re-done elsewhere after the manicurist escalated her voice at me for not choosing a backup quickly enough -- though she could not provide the color, shape, or length previously discussed in person. I ended up leaving the establishment feeling uncomfortable from the hostile environment. Not sure if it was just one employee and if she is still there; I really wanted to like this place, the atmosphere is nice. read more

Very friendly service, and I very much appreciate how I was treated here ! Although, this was THE absolute worst pedicure I have ever received my entire life - AND the most expensive at that - Pedicure chairs & food pedestals are not comfortable at all I loved my nail technician, and like I said, every one was so friendly and amazing! It's just NOT worth the money for a pedicure at all here I wasted my money completely read more

Subpar service. I'm attaching the email I sent on 9/15 after my appointment on 9/13. After sending the email all of the nail polish on my fingers came off. Also, no one responded to email so I'm guessing I'm right about my assumption of racism/discrimination. read more

I was able to get into Lena Rose same day for a facial, which is practically unheard of. I was delighted- it's a green spa and woman owned with great reviews. Alexis did my facial and massage and she was incredible. 100% will be back soon and you should go too. read more

I was so excited when my partner found this place. I usually do my own nails, but when I do get them done, I prefer a place that uses 10-free polish and other products free of harsh chemicals/additives. Lena Rose is exactly that. In fact, they're the only ones I've been able to find in Chicago that do what they do and pay their staff a living wage. The location is great, right off the brown line with a good amount of street parking in the family oriented Ravenswood neighborhood. When you walk in, you're not hit with the smell of acetone, but instead it smells like a spa. It's warm and inviting, there's lots of candles and products being sold, not your typical nail salon, but still so great. I got a pedicure, gel manicure and my eyebrows waxed. I'll start with the wax, the truth is, I should've had her draw or at least talk out the shape that she was going to go with. I also could've shown her old photos where I really liked my brows. I haven't shaped them much during the pandemic, so I totally understand that there probably wasn't much of a shape to work with at all. With that said, the wax job was not my favorite and I know to speak up next time. My pedicure and manicure however were PHENOMENAL. I cannot remember the name of the person who did it, but I'm pretty sure it was the owner. She was so thorough and took her time. I didn't feel rushed or like a number they were trying to work on and then quickly get out the door. My gel manicure lasted two weeks without a single chip of any kind and my toes were great for just as long, if not longer. In fact, the only reason I took my gel polish off was because I wanted a color change, not because they were in bad shape. I'm used to my nails feeling weak and brittle after getting them done professionally, I took my gel polish off myself, but my nails feel just as healthy as they did when I went in. Really the only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is the booking system. They are by appointment only. That's a great thing because you get into your appointment and get to really enjoy the appointment without feeling rushed. The downside, if I wanted to get my nails done for the weekend it's very unlikely that I could log onto their system and find an appointment. I got my nails done in October but scheduled the appointment for it in August. So the lead time is pretty epic. Still, when I'm feeling like I need to treat myself, Lena Rose will be where I go in the future! read more

I have been in need of a facial for a while. Back when Pivot Point was opened and my schedule was more open, I would go twice a month to have them done. Well PP closed and the available places that had appointments that worked with my schedule were far and few between, so I went without for a long while. Along comes a Yelp Elite event featuring Lena Rose Natural Beauty. I didn't get to go due to a scheduling issue and missed it. However I was impressed with the reviews on Yelp and on the strength of that, I made an appointment. Actually I got the year long subscription because I need my facials, it was in the hood and they had Sunday appointments. Today was my first visit. The outside looks unassuming, but when you step into the store, it has a very lovely and calming feel. Jenny was at the desk and greeted me very warmly. Gabi also came out and introduced themselves. Both were very nice. I was given water and there was a nice platter of cheese, veggies/fruit, meat and crackers at the front. The facial itself was wonderful. Gabi has a great touch, firm yet relaxing at the same time. There were questions about the products I wanted to ask, but I was too into the moment to ask. Maybe next time, but probably not if I get Gabi. I am all good about just getting my facial. Nice thing about the facials here is that they cover more than just the face. Gabi gave me a great neck, shoulder, arms and décolletage. Some places I have been to in the past don't get that my décolletage should be a part of my facial...Lena Rose gets that. I am so happy to have found this place and am so looking forward to my monthly time with them. read more

I used to come here fairly regularly pre-pandemic, and it was always a great experience. This was my first time at the new location. I got a pedicure and a gel manicure. The total for the two services was $125 -- you would think for that price it would be the best experience I have ever had. Spoiler alert: it was not. The website claims "expert" polish application. The person who did my pedicure applied the color too thickly so that when I went to remove the flip-flops an hour later my nails still weren't dry. Instead of removing the polish, and repainting the nail, she simply painted over the messed up polish. I noticed later that she didn't put the topcoat over the whole nail, but rather just a swipe or two down the center. Now for the manicure. As mentioned before, I got a gel polish. My manicure was done on a Saturday and my polish chipped the following Tuesday -- not even 72 hours later. Then another nail chipped on Wednesday... and another on Thursday... and another two on Friday. At salons that charge half the price, I have had my gel polish last two -- and sometimes even three -- weeks. At one point the manicurist rudely told me to stop moving my hands. I didn't realize I was moving my hands. If I had been, it would be completely fair to ask me to hold still, but there's never any need to be rude. The reason I am giving two stars instead of just one is because of my positive past experiences. I would like to think that it was just this nail technician having a bad day, but my friend who was with me didn't have a much better experience. Although, she did have a much kinder experience. I am disappointed that the quality of this place seems to have diminished. At these prices, I'm not willing to give another chance. read more

This hidden gem is women owned, green, ethically paid, reasonably priced for the services, and a diamond in the rough. I went in for a facial with Alexis and it was absolutely incredible. The staff is very friendly, the products were lovely on my skin, the treatment was wonderful, and I feel like a million bucks. I've already made a follow up appointment and can't recommend this place highly enough! read more

I went to the Yelp event last night for elites and I was beyond impressed with this business! First and foremost, thank you to Jenny and her staff for collaborating with Yelp and creating such a fantastic event! I now understand green beauty and understand how important it is to check and ensure that product ingredients are coming from a natural source and how ingesting unnatural products are detrimental to our health! Plenty of times I settle on getting a no chip and I don't even think about what the effects could be. Jenny and her staff provided an array of food and beverages for the guest. This was the first event that I've attended where folks were fed well and that to me says so much and shows excellent hospitality so thank you Jenny and the staff. Product wise, it was fantastic to try so many organic in house made products! I already have a list of things I can't wait to buy! There was also someone available to answer questions and concerns about skin type and recommend products. Lena also offers free manicures for attendees (which we were able to pick top of the line, non chemical based nail polishes). She also offered free massage chair sessions which I'm bummed I didn't get a chance to do. Not only was all of this fantastic, but Jenny sent us home with a Lena Rose goody bag filled with some info, tester products and a $10 gift certificate to come back. If that's not excellent customer service, I don't know what is! I will for sure be back! Please support this establishment! read more

Lena Rose Beauty - Thanks Lena rose for the glass of bubbly and the manicure! I had a fantastic time last night and can't wait to try the products! - Skin Care Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This was a WONDERFUL magical experience. Candy did my facial, Kendall did my manicure. Each person I encountered was so warm and professional. I had my first facial (Laurel facial) and it was fantastic. My skin is feeling great. My nails also turned out perfect. I will be back as soon as I can- thank you Lena Rose team! I am hooked read more

Love this woman owned business dedicated to providing non-toxic beauty treatments in an environmentally sustainable way. I am a fan of Dazzle Dry and will travel to find a salon that uses it. Glad I did! Lena Rose is a welcoming and comfortable space. I was pretty surprised when I realized the owner was my technician! She was great. And their tea is fantastic! And they have an interesting subscription model for services. Check out this place and/or at least check out their products. read more

The service at Lena Rose is unmatched. The care and attention to detail in spa services and nails are absolutely fantastic! The staff is lovely, sharp, knowledgeable and talented. Every manicure and pedicure Ive had has lasted longer than anywhere else, and to make it even better their products are green, plant based, organic and free of all the bad icky stuff you do not want in or on your body! The facials are other worldly- I cannot wait to try the other spa services. If you have sensitive skin or allergies- they have expert knowledge and can help. I also love shopping their green beauty selections, which are hand selected and chosen with both purpose and planet in mind. I love the Fit glow Beauty brand especially the lip colour serum, the humble all natural deodorant, all the non toxic nail polish, and last but certainly not least- the whole LenaRose house brand of products. The plant elixir has all my plants shining and growing! The bath soaks are divine, especially after a long day of work! read more

I booked an appointment with Lena Rose Beauty just after a quick google search. When I went to the location I was pleasantly surprised with how cute and clean this gem of a salon is! It's decorated so tastefully, a bright airy environment, and the staff was extremely friendly. I loved the way my esthetician really took the time to hear how I like my brows shaped and she sculpted them perfectly and let me tell you they were a hot mess. I discovered that their prices are all inclusive - tip and tax already included AND found out they're women owned! I've already booked my next appointment! read more

Best facials in the whole city. I've looked all over Chicago to replace my previous Facialist when she moved away this summer, and no one even comes close to the facials at Lena Rose. You can tell the whole spa is a gem! read more

Beautuful space, great service, and had a great manicure! I highly recommend this salon!

What a great business! I've heard so much about green products and assumed they were better for you but also thought 1) how big of a difference could it actually make? And 2) even if it does make a difference, I can't afford those products. Jenny (the owner) is clearly passionate about what she is doing. Her talk about why she opened a green spa made me want to go home and throw away all of my products that aren't green. Even better, they strive to keep their prices affordable which is amazing since usually these types of things are well over $100 other places I've seen them (their most expensive item was $52 I believe). I ended up buying a night cream (my face feels so soft even after only using it for two days!) and a mushroom protein powder (haven't tried it yet). I thoroughly enjoyed talking with Gabi (the esthetician). I've never had a facial and didn't really know how they worked other than cleaning your face. She talked about her process of evaluating your skin type and what's needed and then customizing the facial to you. They also do facials customized for men (including back facials). I'll definitely be back to give it a try in the future. I also got a mini manicure from Diane. She did a great job and we bonded over our hatred for dremels. She also gave me some great suggestions on products to use to strengthen my nails after a different salon used a dremel to remove my no chip. I'll definitely be back to support this local business and will be telling all of my friends to give them a try. read more

Never again. The owner was rude the second I walked in the door. The nail tech was so sick she couldn't talk and could hardly stay awake. I'm happy you pay them a living wage, maybe give them a sick day? Barely any colors to choose from, unless you want an upcharge on an already incredibly expensive service. So many nail salons in this area, go elsewhere. read more

Love this salon. All natural and healthy alternative to all the poisons that we usually get during a visit to a regular nail salon. This young lady is very inspiring and helpful and passionate about her profession, her products and services. Seriously, if you're in the area, check her out. I got some lipstick moisturizer and natural deodorant. Love the products. Also had a manicure and massage. Very nice. Parking is a bit difficult but it's right by the brown line stop and thus very easy to get to. Check it out! read more

I went in for my first time yesterday for a pedicure and I loved it. I am sensitive with pedicures because nail techs always want to nip my cuticles even when I tell them not to they end up doing it and I end up with an infection. This may be a shock to people but we really aren't supposed to trim cuticles because that opens room for infection. At Lena rose they actually listened and that's an A+ in my book. They pushed my cuticles back and cleaned my nails. I also picked a dazzle dry nail polish and it seems like a good system I really enjoyed my nail polish color. Kendall did a great job! The only downside of this is the price but I am willing to pay for it because they actually listened and treated me very well (they offered me a la croix to drink) might consider getting a membership to try other services! Thanks Lena Rose! read more

Lena Rose Beauty - My polished nails - Skin Care Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I have been a client and shopper at Lena Rose since April. I've come in for fundraiser events, for a facial, for eyebrow tinting, for eyebrow waxing, and for general skincare consultation with product advice. I have seen the skin care guru Gabi for all of these services, and I always feel I'm in good hands with her. She is so knowledgeable and excited about the Lena Rose mission of sustainable beauty! She has helped me create a skin routine that is truly nourishing. This review is for my most recent visit on Saturday whern the shop hosted a holiday makeup looks lesson. Gabi pampered me for over an hour. What a treat! She showed me several vegan and organic products from Aunatural and 100% Pure. She used a BB cream mixed with moisturizer for my dry skin. She chose very complimentary shades for eye shadow, bronzer, and blush. And she took the time to mix 3 shades of red lipstick to get the right color for my olive skin. She topped it all off with a fun cat eye and mascara. I was so excited to show off my glam look at a friend's holiday party. I don't normally wear makeup, so my friends were very impressed. I was fairly skeptical of the organic products, especially whether they would stay on through the day and night. My makeup didn't budge until I washed my face the next morning. I couldn't believe the staying power of the eyeliner. This makeup tutorial completely convinced me that organic products are not only better for my skin, but can deliver even better results than pharmacy makeup products (the only kind I ever bothered buying). Thanks to Lena Rose, I can feel good, look good, and do good through their carefully curated selection of green beauty products and services. read more

Visited for the first time for an event and Jennie, the owner, was a fantastic host! The entire team here is passionate about wholesome clean ingredients in your makeup and beauty products, and you'll find all sorts of AFFORDABLE organic or vegan items. Most items range from $18 to $52, so you won't be breaking the bank here. The event was very educational and made me really wonder what kind of harmful chemicals and ingredients are being put on my skin. I had an gorgeous mini-manicure done last night and my nails look great, even after a night of sleeping! I'm not sure what that top coat is, but my nails dried in about 15-20 minutes without any scratches or dents. Usually when I paint my own nails, I'll wait two hours, go to bed, and wake up with lines and sheet marks all over my nails. It's very frustrating! Also, no harsh chemical smells either. Gabi is their esthetician and she was really knowledgeable about the products they offer. She was not pushy with products at all, and only recommended items when I asked. I ended up buying an anti-blemish serum for $18. It won't hurt to try, and plus it feels nice to support a small business with an incredible mission for green beauty! read more

Came here for a Yelp Elite event and I was super impressed by the owner's message and mission to provide a safe and affordable place for people. The store carries a variety of items and I loved that they had testers out and available to try. The manicure I receive was awesome and without the strong smell that I'm used to at other salons. While the event was very successful, I'm planning on returning for a facial and to get more ideas on how I can better my skin. The one important thing I noticed is that for the items they sold, I was able to actually read what was on the label. That, to me, is important. read more

It's a beautiful storefront filled with ethically sourced face and body products I've had several facials and waxing done here and they've been very professional and well done. It's worth going off the beaten path for these services. Also, the nail services are good, too without all of the chemicals that are used at regular nail salons. read more

SLOW. They took more than 1hr to remove my nail art. LOW quality. My friend asked me if I DIY my nails. I said I can do a better job myself. Cheating. I paid no-chip price and got regular polish. Cheating & double charging. I paid when I booked but They charged me again in store. I realized and went back to ask for refund, they said their manager will call the next day. They never did. read more

The service itself was good. My skin was glowing after the service. I had a Lena Rose facial (80 min). I would have liked to have the aesthetician review the process before getting started. I don't believe my face was steamed and she did not do any extractions which I've always had done in the past during my treatment. The restroom and treatment room could use a remodel. It would have been pleasant to have a nice aroma, soothing background noice, warm colors/decor, candles, etc. read more

I've been searching for an all natural facial spa for a while and Lena Rose is the only place I could find close to me. They now have two locations (one in Albany Park and one in Lincoln Square) and offer facials, mani/pedis and body treatments. I was able to book an appointment online for the next day which is awesome. The Albany Park location is right next to the brown line but you can't hear the train when you're inside. The treatment rooms aren't fully enclosed so you will hear background noise but it didn't detract from my facial. Speaking of the facial, I got the standard 60 min treatment and each step of the facial was fully explained to me prior to starting. Like most facials it consisted of a cleanse, mask, extractions (done by two different instruments/ machines) a hand and face massage and finally a moisturizer. The extractions were not painful at all which is a huge plus. I also got a brightening booster which left my skin glowing! I can't wait to come back. read more

She gave us a body exfoliant as a present at the end to apologize that she couldnt answer the phone during the week. The product is great! Even my husband notice that my skin was super soft ha ha.

Lena Rose Beauty - Manicure from noktivo spa. Ready for spring - Skin Care Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I have been coming to Lena Rose since the owner started her business in the back of a salon on Lincoln Avenue and have always had a very relaxing experience. The clinicians have always been welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. Unfortunately today I had the opposite experience and am not sure that I will ever go back. Due to some circumstances beyond our control, my mom and I arrived late to our manicure/pedicure appointments. I did call ahead to let them know. When we arrived, two clinicians were present and neither one said "Hello" or greeted us in any way. One completely ignored us and the other immediately started grilling us about what services we were getting because there was "some confusion" (even though I had scheduled and confirmed the appointments online). We were told to pick out our colors and before we had hardly even picked up the swatches, the previously silent clinician said "Please pick out your color in a timely manner and go wash your hands" without looking at us or turning towards us. My mom apologetically told her she wouldn't need too much work done on her nails and she was told "Well no, your nails have to be filed." As she started the manicure my mom tried to make pleasant conversation and was basically ignored. The clinician who did my pedicure asked me how often I get pedicures and acted surprised that I didn't get them more often. She then proceeded to tell me "Well your cuticles are really overgrown" as though she was offended that I even dare to get a pedicure with such "overgrown" cuticles. We also noticed that when another client arrived, neither clinician acknowledged or greeted her in any way. It wasn't until she approached the counter that one of them just said "Do you have any appointment?" I fully recognize that we were late and the stress that this may have caused. However, if given a chance, we would have been willing to skip part of the service (the massage, the hot towel, etc) or skip the pedicure altogether. Instead, the environment was tense, awkward, and uncomfortable. It makes me sad because I have always loved this salon and everything that they stand for. It was truly disappointing to be treated in this way. read more

If you learn how quickly nail polish gets into your blood stream you will go out of your way to find a natural, eco-friendly, non-toxic salon, like Lena Rose. Lena Rose is all about beauty AND health, as opposed to most salons that favor beauty INSTEAD of, or at the price of, your health. I like supporting a local business and love their natural beauty approach & priority. I would definitely travel to get to Lena Rose based on the warm, kind, caring & talented staff, the relaxing environment, the warm neck-wrap and water or tea offered to you start your journey. Highly recommended. Can not say enough good things about this place and their philosophy! read more
