Very unprofessional. I booked a lash lift 3 weeks in advance. Two days before my appointment the owner Xiya texts me saying the appointment is canceled because Anna no longer works there. But my appointment was booked with Xiya (the owner) and NOT Anna, so why is the appointment canceled? She didn't even offer an apology for the cancellation. Not a great way to treat a repeat customer. Now I'm left scrambling to find lashes elsewhere before I leave town for my birthday. I DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

Do not recommend for lash lift - I should have listened to the other review. The space: the space itself doesn't have a vibe - it seems like some abandoned studio, and there's a lot of random stuff on the floor (pillows, a yoga mat etc) as if someone sleeps there. The lash lift: Anna was my technician. You can clearly see in the photo that she had overprocessed my lash, making it bent, curled and twisted. She put primer on the tips of my lashes which you are NOT supposed to do since the tips of the lashes are thinner. When I pointed this out to her, she basically said that all she did was comb them up, there was nothing she could do. Despite my unatisfaction she still charged me the full 95, and when i walked out she had the audacity to ask for tip. Please do not come here. read more

I walked in for an eyebrow wax at Linxia (no appointment). It is in an office-type building where you walk into the lobby and there is a receptionist who sends you up to the proper floor. They do not do threading, but the eyebrow wax was not painful and my eyebrows look good. The esthetician was very professional and polite. The salon was clean and modern. read more

literally the WORST lash lift I've ever gotten. both Anna and the other girl are nice but I'd take bad service anyday if it meant I'd get the lashes I wanted. my lashes are hard, clumpy, and there is glue all over my eyelid/eyelashes. when i called back to voice my frustrations Anna just suggested i wash them with water, but everyone who gets lash lifts knows you're not supposed to wet them in the first 24 hours. i am beyond frustrated as i paid a good amount just to leave with hard lashes that look SHORTER than my natural ones. to be fair, the lash extensions i have gotten here have been fine. don't come here for lash lifts! read more

Anyone who knows me will tell you I have no sort of makeup skills. I try but Zi usually just add a little eye liner and eyebrow powder and I am good. My friend is going to have a Carribean wedding and I knew I would sweat like no other there! So I thought false eylashes always gives a pop on girls and you do not have to worry about putting liner or mascara. I searched all over but was skeptical with stars and reviews until I found Linxia beauty. I was amazed at how many reviews they had and ALL 5 stars. This put me at ease IMMEDIATELY! I have never done eyelash extensions before but I was adamant to give it a try and now I believe I am hooked! Anna was the one who put them on for me! She was so sweet and looked at my eyes and let me know what she thought was best for me. Being a noob, I just told her I trusted hers. The process was really not uncomfortable for the most part. I think I was just apprehensive and eyes twitched a lot but she was so patient! I really thought once I open my eyes it would sting and it did the first time but now I feel like nothing is there!!! Like seriously it feels great! The natural look of the extensions was exactly what I wanted! No wonder they have 5 star reviews from everyone!! The only thing I was a little sad about is that before I booked my appointment I called because I found a Groupon. Very good deal for full eyelash extension plus 2 week touchup for $129! I let Linxia know and she said she would honor the price of Groupon and I did not need to buy through Groupon. I took a screenshot to make sure. That day Groupon had a 20% off all purchases so it took my eyelash extension plus 2 weeks retouch down to $103!!! But I did not mention the extra 20% Groupon would have given me to Linxua so unfortunately I did not get the extra 20% discount. But regardless this is experience was so wonderful that I seriously would pay again when a special occasion comes! I will update in a few weeks to let you know how long the lashes last! read more

- Clean and comfortable - Caring staff - Flawless application I don't get "fancy" things like this done regularly, but decided to get my lashes done for a professional headshot and wasn't quite sure what to expect. My biggest concern was looking too "over-done" for a professional photo, but I was very pleasantly surprised by the experience at Linxia! I got the perfect natural look I was hoping for. I'm also a very type-A person and was impressed with how even, straight, and well-approximated the application was! The lady who did my lashes was SO sweet and easy to talk to, and took the time beforehand to discuss what kind of look and length I wanted to go for. She was also very proactive and attentive to making sure I was comfortable with the protective lower-lid tape (I have a small face and it slid up a few times when we were chatting). I got the impression she really cares about her customers. I will definitely be back any time I want to try lashes again! read more

I have had three appointments with Linxia Beauty Works! I have tried out two suburban lash salons and three city lash salons. Linxia Beauty Works does the best lashes, beautiful but still natural. I also have never had a reaction to any of the products they use. My lashes are in perfect condition for 2+ weeks. She is very welcoming and the appointment lasts about an hour. Her office is welcoming and comfortable. I recently moved and drive an hour to get my lashes done here. There is pay to park street parking or a garage. She is easy to schedule with and responds to inquiries quickly. If you are looking to try out lash extensions, be sure to check out Linxia Beauty. read more

I am soooo glad I chose this location to do my FIRST Brazilian wax. I am visiting from out of town and decided to find a place to do the wax. Upon reading the other 5 start reviews, I new Linxia was the place. Xina was so welcoming and nice. Upon entering the room, I was really nervous and she assured me that it I would be ok and proceeded to tell me details of the process. The salad was clean, she worked quick , used too quality wax and as it did hurt little it wasn't as bad as I thought. I was actually laughing all the was through my service. Lol. But this is a top notch salon and service. It is highest recommended. My ONLY regret is that I don't live here, and have to find some wine equally as good in Boston. Thank you Xia!!!! read more

I was recommended by a friend to Linxia Beauty Works when I expressed interest in getting eyelash extensions. During my first appointment, I was extremely nervous (as well as excited), but Xiya had me feeling comfortable after a couple of minutes. She explained the options to me and showed me samples of the lashes she would be using. She even recommended me what lengths and curls would work best for my eye shape. The process takes about an hour or so. So relax and get comfortable. Xiya also makes great conversation. I now have been coming to Xiya for about a year and I will not go anywhere else. She is nice, professional, and efficient. If you are in the market for lash extensions, then don't look any further. Xiya gets booked up pretty quickly, so definitely plan in advance and make your appointment. read more

I got my lashes done by Anna. I was really excited to come to Linxia for my first eyelash extensions session, however my lashes fell off less than 1.5 weeks after getting them done. I had to come back even before the 2 week touchup because all the lashes on my left eye fell off, so I looked ridiculous with lashes on only my right eye. After my 1.5 week touchup, the majority of my lashes fell off less than a week later again. They also were out of place and pointing in every direction imaginable (not pretty). I took really good care of them after the first set and touchup, making sure not to exercise (sweat), go in the steam room/sauna/, shower, or get them wet the first 48 hours. Not sure why they fell off so quickly, but I was pretty disappointed. Asides from the eyelash extensions, I got my brows waxed here by Xia, and they turned out nicely. read more

Yura is an eyelash extension expert - she is very thorough, attentive, and takes her time. This shows as my lashes always turn out better than I expect and still look good a few weeks later!

Oh, ladies. This woman is wonderful. I had my first experience with lash extensions and she was so wonderful throughout the whole experience. She talked me through which length to pick (especially as a first timer), how she was going to put them on, etc. It was so weird while she was doing it (eyes taped shut, sitting under a light...), but I was so incredibly happy with the results. I visited her before my bridal shower (services completed on June 8th) and although almost all of mine have fallen off, I still have 3 lashes holding strong! It actually cracks me up. I am so excited to book her again to get this done for my wedding day - everyone noticed how amazing my eyes looked. They couldn't pick out exactly what it was about them that really popped, but when I told them I had extensions, they lost their minds over it.

I saw these reviews and my inner cynic said, "There are only a few reviews, they are all 5 star reviews, and they all spelled the esthetician's name correctly. You know that these were written by her friends and the service will be a terrible experience. You are too smart to fall for this." I'm so glad that I ignored that voice. This was a terrific experience. I have nothing but great things to say about Xiya (whose name I only knew how to spell thanks to the other reviewers). Background: I was overdue for a Brazilian wax. Since moving back to Chicago, I haven't found someone who I wanted to visit more than once. I booked an appointment with another person at a salon earlier this week, but she was fired the day before my appointment; I got very lucky! I checked lifebooker to find an appointment that I could fit in before I started travelling and luck brought me to Linxia Beauty Works. The Appointment: I booked my appointment online for the next day and received a confirmation call within an hour of booking. Xiya asked if this was my first time and if I had any questions. The space is in an office building and when getting off of the elevator, you are pretty sure that you are in the wrong place. Once you go into the work space, it is clean, quiet and so easy. I was dreading this appointment because I was overdue. I went in knowing that this was going to hurt and it would take longer than usual. I was so wrong. I was in and out of the room (including dressing and undressing time) in 17 minutes. (I happened to notice the clock when I entered and exited.) I was in and out in record time, but I never felt rushed. This was probably the least painful overdue wax that I've experienced. She distracts you with conversation and coaches you through the worst parts. And did I mention that she did a perfect job. I don't think that she missed a single hair. She mentioned that she had recently moved to this location, which explains why there were so few reviews. Ignore your inner cynic. Go here. Below are just a few reasons why you should go: * This place is SO close to my office. Odds are that it is close to your office, too. If it isn't close to your office, it is at least directly across from the Wabash entrances to Marshall Fields; so it's close to shopping. * Xiya is sweet, professional, and FAST; I mean fast. I can schedule my follow-up appointments during lunch and still have time to eat lunch. * This is the least painful waxing experience that I've had that was also a good wax. I've found that the less painful waxes don't always get every hair, but sometimes just break the hair. This waxing was ideal. * Package pricing is insane. I haven't paid so little for a B-wax since NYC. To sum up. You need to change estheticians unless you are already seeing Xiya. read more

Literally will only be going to Diana for my waxes!! She is phenomenal and you can tell she's been…read moredoing this forever. She makes sure you're comfortable but at the same time doesn't waste any time, which I love. She is incredibly precise as well. I'm relatively new to bikini waxes but after my second one there, I now want to make this a part of my regular routine. Lasers didn't work for me as my hair is too light; Even after 8 sessions of laser, my hair grew back a little bit thinner but I could barely notice a difference. After getting waxed- even months later there were so few hairs that grew back! And this is a fraction of the cost of lasers. Overall, definitely recommend checking this place out even if it's your first time.

I had a great Brazilian wax with Diane. I have been to several high end salons but this is by far…read morethe best. I will be back!

She was also very helpful in letting me know that because i switched from sugaring, which i had done for ten years, back to waxing, that i may have some ingrowns since the hair would be pulled in a different direction but if it happened, it should resolve itself within a couple of visits. Nothing better than educating your clients of what to expect so i was super appreciative of that!

I've been a customer and client at this specific Benefit Brow Bar for over 10 years. I've been a…read moreloyal client for brow aestheticians here from Cherie, to Vanessa, to Mercedes, to Cathy, to DeAndre over the years, as well as meeting, on several occasions, the district manager at the time, Jae. From these past visits, I've never had a negative experience with them. Today, I came into Benefit on State Street and I receive a brow waxing service from Shavece. She was kind and had great conversation - and also did a great job on my brows. However, towards the end of my service, Shavece takes a purple paste and applies it (she took it past my eyes, and I could not see in the moment what was actually happening, as my eyes were opening and closing during the wax), but I could feel it being applied. She says "I'm just adding our special paste and it'll take all of the dirt and debris out of your pimple". OK.. I know that Benefit offers eye masks during their service, so maybe this is something that will enhance my service? I asked her to remove it, because I do not ask for it. Shavece wipes off the paste and begins to squeeze the pimple that is on my forehead. I ask "excuse me, what are you doing?" She says "sorry I just think this pimple is ready up come to a head... that doesn't hurt does it?" I respond "yes that hurts a lot, please stop". She continues and I say "please leave my pimple alone, this is not what I came in here for". She says "ok sorry". She then gives me a mirror to look at my brows, and I see that the pimple that's on my forehead is now bleeding, purple, more inflamed and irritated. I'm not someone who pops my pimples, and I for sure did not come into Benefit for my brow aestheticians to pop it during a service that was booked for an eyebrow wax - especially without my consent. I asked her for a tissue as the bump was bleeding pretty bad and I needed to stop the blood. She proceeds to check me out and asks "did you want to leave a tip?" A tip that I would give is not to touch parts on a customers face that is not given permission to do so. I did not come in for a pimple consultation. I did not come in for a pimple treatment. I did not come in to get "pimple paste". I called the brow bar directly and spoke with the manager, Mariaelena, and she basically upheld what the aesthetician did. She claimed that popping pimples and applying pimple paste was a part of the service. Never in my 15 years of coming to benefit have I ever had that done. I've had pimples on my forehead or on my face before, while being serviced at the many locations I've visited, and no aesthetician has ever done this. If you're touching someone's face, it should never be something that the aesthetician simply chooses to do - and if it's brought to the managers attention, there should be more sincerity and apology towards the customer. You don't just start extracting a customers pimple or something on their face without their consent as I could be allergic or have skin that is sensitive to certain products, which I do. That's not a part of the waiver that sign before initiating the service and I was extremely dissatisfied. I came in for a brow wax - and I'm not sure if she assumed that she was being helpful, but this experience has deterred me from returning to this Benefit location in the future.

It's located by the State and Washington intersection entrance. There were 4 associates when I went. There's the retail section that has most of the benefit products for sale. There are multiple stations that are open to the rest of the department store. Booking online was quick and seamless. They had same day appointments so I was easily able to drop in. They were fairly busy so I'd recommend an appointment but they do take walk ins. Humberto helped me and was super sweet and nice. He explained exactly what he was doing and had me go through the brow shape in the mirror for each side of my face. He worked quickly and touched up my wax with tweezers and I was in and out pretty shortly. Prices were transparently displayed and they take tip in cash or card. Would recommend for a quick brow place in the loop. They also do lamination, threading, and tinting here.

I was seen within 5 minutes of walking in and filling out paperwork and I was out after 1 hour. The esthetician was professional and asked me about my medical history, skin concerns, and skin regimen.
