The stylists are great, but I will no longer be coming here because of the booking staff.

I will be taking my business elsewhere.

This small shop caught my eye as we were moseying down Third Street in Geneva last weekend. The…read moreentrance is a somewhat farther back from the sidewalk than the others in town so it might be easy to miss. Any shop using the word "apothecary" tends to pique my interest since they often carry more niche brands, or higher end skincare, and as someone who loves exploring skincare I am quick to stop in; this was no different. I was a little surprised to see as much Dr. Hauschka here as they carry since that's a line you can get at Whole Foods. It was also a surprise that as a shop specializing in makeup and skin care that they didn't appear to carry a sunscreen--and I mean an a product that was solely sunscreen, not a foundation or lip color with SPF 30 or something. Sunscreen is probably the most important thing one can use in their routine, but you wouldn't guess that at a shop focused on skincare? They have a LOT of scents here. It's a small shop and it can quickly become overwhelming, as well as hard to tell the perfumes apart. Both of us customers in store quipped about the lack of coffee beans, and learned that they had them once and when they spilled they stopped using them. I was curious about one but I wasn't able to tell what it truly smelled like since one of the other folks in the shop had sprayed several already. The person working gave me a little tester to take home, though, which I appreciated. I would give this store another whirl if I was in the area. But overall I was a bit disappointed in their skin care options and lack of detail (the missing sun protection). They have a lot of makeup here too but I didn't really look at that much (it was somewhat dark in the shop so I wouldn't have been able to see a true color anyway). The building is not accessible; there are several steps to get into the shop. It's street parking only.

Kelly is absolutely AMAZING at everything she does. The main services I receive from her are:…read more I get my eyebrows tinted/waxed every 6 weeks and could even hold out a tad longer if i wanted. I used to be a plucker but ever since going to her, i will never go back to attempting to do my own eyebrows because they will NEVER look as good as when she does them. I also go to her for my spray tans (tanning beds are BAD people) and i have the driest skin EVER and she nails it every time. My tan lasts 12 days without even a smidge of it fading off before the 12 days are up! They always look like a natural glow rather than Snooki circa 2009. Her tans are also so CHEAP compared to other places and she offers $30 Thursdays! Lastly, I recently stood up in a wedding and the bride hired Kelly to do everyone's makeup- every single bridesmaid was obsessed with how they looked. Our makeup stayed on all night long and the only thing we had to re-apply was lip gloss (obviously) She made everyone look unique and beautiful! Kell is my beauty go-to! I highly recommend her!!

If you are needing anything done facial, makeup, wellness wise. SEE KELLY! I have to tell everyone…read more From the moment I had my first appointment with Kelly, I felt like I knew her for years. Tonight, after seeing her for two years now, we realized we went to the same college! Go leathernecks! Kelly gives me honest advice, she feels like a girlfriend I'm catching up with. I go in feeling off and I leave feeling amazing. She makes me feel confident and beautiful. She makes you feel at home and I trust her with my skin. I also have VERY sensitive skin and she is so accommodating. She is mindful, careful and takes her time. I never feel rushed. If you need makeup done, a facial, eyebrows, ANYTHING. I HIGHLY recommend Kelly. You will not be disappointed! She answers all of my questions and does everything to make time for my appointments. I can't thank Kelly enough for everything!

I am so happy to report that none of that happened. Literally none! I explained to the make up artist that I only wear chapstick for fancy occasions and she was completely understanding. She listened to my previous make up experiences, explained what she was doing in each step and asked me what I wanted my finished look to be. I couldn't have imagined that I could look so spot on like I imagined but I did! She explained that there are classes to help me learn application skills and other events for newbies like me. She even helped me find a location closer to my house. This store definitely made a customer out of me!!! I can't wait to sign up to learn and head back in!

This is one of the worse experiences I have experienced especially for a wedding trial! I came into…read morethe salon and brought photos of the hair and makeup I wanted. The hair and makeup I wanted was very simple and I will attach the photos below. I am quite upset that I spent $200 on this trial for both hair and make up. I came to the salon with moisturizer and sunscreen, and I let her know that my skin was super sensitive to products. She asked what kind of products I used at home, I told her and she said she knew what they were. Perfect! She then wiped everything off and started applying stuff on to my face. I have been to aestheticians before, and normally they always show the product that they will be applying to my face to make sure I am not allergic to that product. The products she used on my face caused me to breakout the next day, and I have had breakouts ever since. A week later and now my breakouts are slowly dying down. She moved on to my foundation. My foundation was supposed to be an airbrushed foundation. From what I have researched, foundation with an airbrush application was supposed to give me a filtered, smooth look. Instead what I got a THICK, FLAKY, and CAKEY foundation that cracked by the time I got home from the salon. When she applied the eyeshadow on my eyelids, she got it ALL over my original lash extensions. She also attached a few individual lashes to make it "even". However, the lash extensions she applied from the trial was applied very sloppily. She got glue on my left eye, and my left eyelid was stuck when she was done. On top of all that, there were remnants of glue all over my lashes. (I will show photos below). By the end of the evening, I tried to remove the eyeshadow, that she applied, with my lash shampoo. The eyeshadow did not come off and as I scrubbed my eyelids to get the shadow off, some of my lashes came off as well. Because some of the eyelash extensions were missing, my eye lids looked like a lawnmower had cut pieces of a corn field, some lashes long, some missing. I ended up having to remove my extensions because of how terrible it looked. I asked for a simple texture bun for my hair. I definitely did not get what I asked for. My bun was super thick and sloppy, and my hair didn't look anything remotely close to the pictures. It looked like I ordered off of Wish.com. I reached out to the Kristen and notified her what happened. I asked for a refund and she refused to give me my money back. I am beyond upset at this point. Kristen did offered me to come back to get it fixed. Unfortunately, I am too traumatized from the last session and can't pull myself to go back. It is unfair that I presented their AWFUL work I paid for and they're not going to refund what they've done. PLEASE BEWARE when you book with them! Worse experience ever!

My girlfriend was getting her hair done first and around 9:45am, another client arrives and says she has an appointment at 9:45am. After confirming this was true and Claudia over booked herself, Claudia asks US to leave after only 1 of us got our hair done, and come back at 11, so she can do the other girls hair who had the appointment at 9:45am? Like what? Why would we be asked to leave and come back when our appointments were scheduled first, we showed up on time, etc. Overall very bad experience, made appointments a month out, showed up on time, and then got turned away in the middle of the service. My girlfriend went to pay and Claudia said "oh did they not tell you I only take Venmo or Zelle, no cards", seems like something you would mention upon booking or mention anywhere online. I messaged the company on FB and they did refund my girlfriend, which was very nice.
