I've been seeing Julie for a few years now and she's always given the best-in-class service leaving me looking and feeling great. Aside from the high-quality job her prices are super competitive compared to big brand names and commercial enterprises who offer the same within the area and charge twice as much and take twice as long. That being said, it's a no-brainer to go with Julie as her skill is in a top-tier class all on its own. Aside from this, Julie is very personable, and it feels like interacting with a friend for a more humanized experience vs something transactional as just another customer/client. This adds a layer of personal touch thus she makes you feel understood with a more consultative approach to understanding human relations as much as she knows the technicalities of her services and skin care itself. Which is a great foundation of Face Value Beauty Bar being so successful. All in all, if you're reading this then without a doubt, I highly recommend Julie for your waxing and skin care needs. You'll love the outcome of the services you get, how you look, and how you feel! I 100% guarantee it!

I've been a loyal client at the Algonquin Sugaring NYC location for almost two years, and I've…read morealways had good experiences, including two previous 5 star review.. until this week. This was the worst service I've had since my early days at European Wax Center, and I actually left my appointment crying. I had booked my usual Brazilian + butt cheeks. Last week, I called to reschedule and learned--only because I called--that the waxer I've been seeing for the past year was no longer there. Management never informed me ahead of time, which I found unprofessional. When I rescheduled, I was told there were two other stylists available, so I agreed to book with anyone. When I arrived, I found out mid-appointment that my waxer had only started a week ago. She was very nice personality-wise, but the process was extremely messy--sugar in my hair, on my legs, all over the table, and on my clothes. She went over the same area 10-15 times, causing intense pain and burning. The service, which normally takes 20-30 minutes, dragged out to an hour and 15 minutes. I left sticky, covered in powder, and feeling awful. When I got home, I discovered I was bleeding, raw, and still had numerous hairs left. I immediately called and went back today for a "retouch" with Kristin. She was kind, professional, and quick--exactly how it should have been the first time. At checkout, I brought up the situation and requested a refund for yesterday's service. Unfortunately, the front desk employee was too new to process it, so I was told management would call me. As of now, I'm still waiting for that call. I used to love coming here, but all the skilled waxers seem to be gone, and management's lack of communication and follow-up is disappointing. For such a personal and vulnerable service, clients deserve to feel safe, respected, and cared for. Sadly, I can no longer recommend this location.

I went a couple of weeks ago to try them out and got a hair cut/style. I loved how my hair turned out, it's like she read my mind, exactly what I wanted! You know it's a good style when it takes next to no time to style it, it just falls in place the way you want it. Today, I went in for color. I've been unhappy with my color for a long time and was hoping she could breathe some life into what I have...older hair (I'm 61), and thin, sometimes dry. I didn't have high hopes, but anything is better than what I came in with. LOOK AT THE PICS! First, Mikaela really listens, she went over colors with me and we came up with some I liked. I absolutely LOVE my hair. I didn't even think it was possible for it to look like this! So bright, and pretty, and it lays so nice! This salon is amazing, they know what they're doing! Mikaela is friendly, pleasant, and extremely nice. I will never go anywhere else. I'm so happy here, and just feel amazing today! I need to throw some makeup on and go out, I want everyone to see my hair! Thank you Arcadia, and Mikaela!

Tech recommended the most beautiful shade and was very happy with the result! The mani was another story. My nails are natural, and length is uneven. Which I am okay with. I don't do mani's very often but had a wedding. The tech asked if I wanted to keep length on my pinkies (longest length) and I said she cut trim some. Well, she cut down ALL my nails even below the length of the nail bed. Never in my life have my nails been trimmed so short. Like stubs. While a few of the nails were shorter, many of them had length. I didn't realize she had done this until she had finished the first hand, so at that point the damage was done. I didn't want to say anything to offend her at that point, but was upset about the situation. When she finished I told her that my nails were shorter than I wanted and that no other tech had ever cut my nails so short. And was there a reason she that? Her response was that she made her best judgment to cut them that way so they would grow out more evenly. That was not her choice to make. While she spent a lot of time shaping and cleaning my nails, I was very unhappy with the mani service, and don't want anyone else to experience what happened to me.

I came out to Spa Bleu in West Dundee to get a Lash Lift and Tint. The West Dundee location has…read morebeen around for 20 years and their second location in South Barrington for 15 years. I have never been to here before nor have I had this service done before. Upon arrival, there was a check in counter and merchandise displays. The reception staff seemed a bit disorganized with first thinking I was going to the general area but then changing to go to the spa area. They did offer water, coffee, or tea. The service room was rather bare with a treatment bed, equipment, sound machine, and millwork for supplies and sink access. Overall, the space did not wow me and could benefit from color and artwork. I had the pleasure of working with Taylor for my service. She was extremely kind, professional, and efficient with time. The entire service took 45 minutes. I did have a bit of stinging from the chemicals used but understood that to be only when trying to apply close to the lash line. I really liked the end results but noticed a couple lashes going in the wrong direction and not much of a tint on my bottom lashes. The service was $109 in total which did feel like a bit steep after seeing the end outcome. I recommend considering the service only if you truly have long, full lashes naturally.

After this appointment, my skin was extremely red, inflamed, and looked like areas of skin had actually been lifted off. I'm still in a lot of pain. During the wax, it also did not seem like the hair growth pattern was being followed when the wax was applied and removed, which made the process feel much more painful than any wax I've had before. I understand that some redness and irritation can happen after waxing, but this is way beyond the normal irritation I've experienced in the past. I'm very upset that I'm now dealing with what appears to be a wax burn/skin lifting and significant pain after a service that I trusted would be performed safely.
