I've already noticed significant improvement in my hyperpigmentation since working with her, which feels amazing after trying so many things that didn't work. Every product she's recommended has been 100% worth it -- no gimmicks, just effective skincare tailored to what my skin actually needs. For the first time in a long time, I feel like I have a skincare routine that's actually working! If you're looking for an aesthetician who combines expertise with genuine care and guidance, Maddie is the best.

Extremely frustrated with this business. I purchased a Groupon and was instructed to email…read moreValentina to make an appointment. I've been emailing Valentina since August 9th, and she has barely responded. At one point she took 16 days to respond, and that was only after I complained to Groupon. I've now been awaiting a response since August 28th, the proposed appointment day has since went and I've never gotten a response. Update: not even an hour after posting this, Valentina sent me an email telling me to contact Groupon for a refund. Absolutely unreal unprofessionalism.

This is a great place. I came to experience the infrared sauna. Love it, it's walking distance (or…read more5 minute car ride) from me if I want to give myself some good not too tired steps. Valentina is sweet, kind, and wants to flex to your schedule when she is available. She also does organic facials etc. Please note, Valentina is the business owner. She is the main person there so she does it all. Patience is key when you want to see her as she truly wants to give you the services you are looking for. Here is an example, I initially scheduled electronically after I drove past to get an idea if there was a vibe for me or not (that's usually how I roll, if the vibe feels good I will proceed). The appt went through but then like 4 hours later Valentina called, politely asked if It was me, and apologized as she was out of town til Monday. Thereafter, I rescheduled twice but It wasn't frustrating. I was more frustrated at myself for waiting this long to get a sauna treatment as I work out and get tight so fast after the age of 50. The infra red sauna does wonders for your body overall as any other sauna treatments. I liked her, I was a simple client, and the place is lofty looking and lovely. Perfect hues of brown, lofty space on Kenzie. Go get a facial, or sauna etc and enjoy yourself. TTYL!

When I tell my friends the first thing I'm m doing post-quarantine is coming here for a hydra…read morefacial I'm not kidding. It did WONDERS for my skin. Not only did my complexion look better and feel SO much better afterwards, but it has really helped my skin care products be more effective. My skin has never looked better. The salon itself is clean and organized, the room where the facial takes place is very relaxing. My esthetician was Mary Ann and she was FANTASTIC. Made me feel super comfortable and explained all the different steps and how it was tailored to my skin. She was very gentle especially during the pore cleaning which can sometimes be a little unpleasant. I seriously could have fallen asleep. Pricing wise the Hydra facial is expensive ($150) but honestly it's less than many spas which can sometimes wander into the $200 range. Frankly I think it's a steal for the quality you're receiving and personally I don't mind paying more for quality especially when it comes to my skin. I do EXTENSIVE research before I go anywhere for my face, hair, or nails and Skinflection was the clear choice. After having received the treatment it only solidified my opinion. This is where I will be going for facials from now on. Additionally, the rest of the staff was also great. I chatted with the receptionIst before and after my treatment. So nice. I never once felt pressured to buy anything which is also a nice little bonus. All in all just a really great experience and I can't wait to go back!

(I write this review as a man who has typically sought professional cuts.) My recommendation is based on fifteen years of service (at least) and a good amount of market research. I have been a client of Manal's for nearly fifteen years and have followed her through three different locations. Lincoln Square, to Skokie, and now to the current location. You may then think I am recommending Manal Studio without being able to make a comparison. Not so. I live in the city on the near north side and work in the Loop. Over the many years, I have made numerous attempts to use other high end salons or traditional men's barber shops. This includes expensive salons in the Loop, Gold Coast, and Lincoln Park, as well as and hipster joints out in Wicker Park. And here I am, with Manal Studio. The basis for my recommendation is Manal's exceptional skill and client handling. Her personal level of excellence then carries over to the full staff and location. Manal has built a great business. For the haircut, I'm a man with a thick hair and at least three cowlicks. My preferred cut has changed over the years: from very short to longer and more full, yet still professional. She always leaves me looking and feeling great and manages my unruly cowlicks well. She's willing to talk through her approach, adjust the cut, and take and implement feed back. I think this last point is what I have appreciated most. The ability to share feedback. I have found that it can be difficult to express with the person cutting my hair a difference of opinion - that I wished something had been done differently. But not with Manal. She's open to hearing how I think the cut is going during that visit, or has grown in since my last visit. She's easy to talk to. And she's friendly. Also, she works with me to talk about what products will work well with my hair, but I never feel like she's over selling me. Lastly, the studio is comfortable environment and the staff is great. They're responsive with scheduling and the prep (shampoo and condition) is always great. Go to Manal Studio.

I absolutely found that here at Manal Studio. I appreciate that they have an online booking system so you're not confined to business hours to work on your plans for the week. The system also sends out text reminders which are always helpful. Upon arrival (free street parking on side streets, by the way), you're greeted with nothing but good vibes. It smells lovely, everyone in there is kind and happy to see you, and there's soft music playing. Ahhh, an oasis. Muna took care of my color and Manal handled my cut. It was really comforting to have the owner with 25+ years of experience cutting my hair. Picking a new salon is anxiety-inducing! Both ladies are so lovely and did a wonderful job on my hair. Manal did a consultation with me ahead of time to better understand my hair color and cut preferences and worked her magic to help me leave with the desired results. I'm looking forward to coming back again soon. :)

However be aware that even though they ask you to cancel your appointment if you're not feeling well, they will still charge you the full amount of your session unless you cancel 24 hrs in advance, something to be aware of if you have a sudden onset of an illness like gastro distress from food you may have just eaten, for example. No consideration is given whatsoever for your loyalty or patronage over the years. I like to support local businesses but will be looking elsewhere for massage services.

The results are incredible and it is evident at the research and skill that goes into the creation of her offerings.

I'm a 45 year old male. I have always had mediocre skin - past acne scarring, age spots, keratosis…read morepilaris, dry skin, stretchmarks. But I have never been to an esthetician. I had believed that these procedures were just expensive treatments that women paid for to feel better about themselves, but did not do much in terms of improvement. At the prodding of a friend, I went to NUR Skincare. I was absolutely blown away by the results. First, let me describe what I got. I received the 12 step Hi-Tech Facial. This included TCA peels, microdermabrasian, enzymes, vitamins, oxygen, serums and red light therapy. I also had electrosurgery (not as scary as it sounds) using a hyfrecator which zapped dark spots on my face (that scabbed and fell off days later). Lastly, I had the keratosis pilaris on my upper arms treated with chemical peels and microdermabrasian. With all this being new to me, I asked a ton of questions. Anisa proved to be incredibly knowledgeable and talented. As a business owner in the health industry, I was impressed that the modalities she practiced are supported by science, technology and real results. After only my second treatment with NŪR Skincare I saw very clear, very obvious improvements in my skin texture and pigment. I continue to go for maintenance every other month. My skin has NEVER LOOKED SO DAMN GOOD. When my best friend saw my results, she was so impressed with my post treatment appearance that she booked an appointment immediately. If you are thinking about going to NUR Skincare, do not hesitate. BOOK NOW. You will not be disappointed.
