I took it with me on my trip and it was great for after sun exposure and my dry skin. My spray showed up and looked natural. Not too bad of a smell (I'm super smeller, partner said he couldn't smell anything more than a faint scent). The best part was it didn't come off splotchy and just faded away. Highly recommend 10/10

After completing the 750 hour esthetics program, and now beginning a job in a med spa, I can say…read morethat I'm glad I chose this school. The instructors here are very knowledgeable estheticians who continue to pour their knowledge and skills into you daily. Each instructor has their strong suits, which allows for students to gain the best experience in each aspect of esthetics. The program includes tests, quizzes, projects, homework, practicals, and presentations, but you are given the chance to retake them as needed. I felt that the coursework was very doable. The tests prepared me VERY well for the state board exam, while the practicals and hands-on experience prepared me to take clients right away.

I met Nancy shortly after I moved to Skokie back in 2006. I had been working in the area since…read more2004. I would run all the way out to Lake Forest to get my hair cut. Good hairdressers are not easy to find. Nancy understood that perfectly. I met her while I was working. As one of my customers, we got to talking and she mentioned to me that her salon was right across the way from where I worked. Being a hairdresser, Nancy could tell right away that I colored my hair and what kind of work went into it. She could also see exactly how my hair was cut. Hairdressers always know. The trick with hairdressers, is whether or not they can step in and do the same without doing too much to try to impress as a stylist. It's a given that you certainly do not want them to damage your hair either. I cannot say enough about how impressed I am with Nancy's years of talent as a hairdresser. I am not an easy client. There have been a couple days that I have gone in there and I don't know why I haven't been smacked upside the head with a curling iron! Very few hairdressers can cut your hair to your exact request. For me, Nancy does this every time. She really goes out of her way to get to know your preferences for cut and color. As a single woman, I swear that changes with me every day. I am the kind of woman who gets in moods where I think my hair is going to change everything about me and reinvent me. Nancy has done this with only my vague verbal expressions; which I swear are more of a psychological cry for, "I'm lonely and I need attention," than it is a desire for simple change. As a cliche, I just hate that too. The best part? I still come out looking fantastic!! I have never left that woman's chair unhappy. Nancy is wise and totally that kind of hairdresser you can talk to. I really think she should also be considered a legitimate therapist. She'll never claim she understands how the world works; but I swear she doesn't realize how much that kind of discretion is utilized in conjunction with her life experience. Nancy styles with all kinds of hair. Her clients go in and come out new, fabulous, and refreshed right down to their soul. I see this because I work right across from her salon. Everyone leaves with a genuine smile on their face. I think it's safe to say all of her clients, including myself, love her dearly for everything she does. A true miracle worker, I cannot appreciate Nancy enough. Now I commute from Chicago, just to have her do my hair. Hope to see you there soon!!

Upon arrival I filled out the form saying I wanted a full acrylic set, just as I had requested over the phone. I was told to sit down and I waited a good 20 minutes before anyone came up to me again. I understand, it's busy. After I told the guy why I wanted he repeatedly asked me if I wanted GELX instead, and I said no multiple times. Finally he said he thought it would look better and I asked how much they were. he told me $70 which is the same price as my nails usually so I said ok. After he RUSHED through my nails. Again, whatever. it's busy. but when were done and I went up to pay, the nails were $100! I absolutely would not have gotten them if I knew that. I felt really ripped off, and combined with everything else, I will NOT come back here.

About a year ago, I received Botox injections from Virginia. For context, I've had Botox several…read moretimes in the past at other locations without any issues. During this visit, she treated my forehead and the area between my eyes, and strongly insisted that I also treat my crow's feet--even after I explained that I typically don't do that area. Despite my hesitation, she continued to push for additional units, which already made me feel uneasy. Unfortunately, the results turned out poorly. The Botox looked uneven, and I experienced significant side effects. My eyes became extremely dry, heavy, and uncomfortable--to the point where I had to keep a warm, damp cloth over them for several hours a day, for nearly three months, just to get relief. I eventually saw an actual physician who specializes in Botox injections to figure out what went wrong. I was told that I had been injected with far too many units, placed too deeply, and too close to my eyes. I truly wish Virginia had listened to me instead of pressuring me into more units. I've spent a lot of money at this clinic in the past for various treatments, and honestly, the way I was treated after this happened was very disappointing. When I spoke with Virginia on the phone about the side effects, she repeatedly questioned whether something else was going on with me--as if I was exaggerating or making up what I was experiencing, despite suffering for nearly three months. I was very disappointed and do not recommend this clinic! I would pay the additional few bucks per unit and go to an experienced injector and someone who actually listens to you.
