Review from Michele N.
8/31/2010
I think she did a perfect job on my light eyebrows. She is a true artist. They naturally look darker. All my eyebrow hair is still intact. The process tickles with the numbing cream. She filled them in with an ash blonde brown ink. Maureen has an eye for this which I believe is a true gift.

My Review was deleted so I am writing it again.........The only reason I am writing this review is to warn others of this woman. I Bought three groupons for this business and gave my sister and girlfriend two to go get mani/pedis at amazing faces. To preface all of this, I am throwing out my third groupon, that is how poor this "company" is. I accompanied them to the "nail salon" that is amazing faces. It is a 10 X 10 room in a high rise with no windows and no seating. I had to leave because there was nowhere for me to sit. When my girlfriend and sister came home, they showed me a manicure that appeared to have been done by a small child. The quality of this woman's work was astoundingly bad. In her defense, this was a groupon for $20, but my girlfriend could have done a better job at home for free. What is even more incredible is to think of this woman's level of attention to detail and realize that she also does permanent tattoos for makeup? I'm embarrassed to have sent my sister and girlfriend here and I highly recommend spending $5 more and going elsewhere, or take $20 and use it as toilet paper. You will at least have gotten some tangible benefit from your money.
By the way the owner replied to me on my google review and said that my girlfriend and sister said she did a great job....this is not true. In fact its a bold face lie. My girlfriend did say she thought her place was cute because she felt bad and my girlfriend is a nice person. The quality of the work was never mentioned as it looked to have been completed by Helen Keller.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Review from Annette P.

The permanent makeup - my eyebrows - needed to be redone. When I read the positive review about how well Michelle N. liked the work that had been done (and discovering there was a special offer to get the work done for only $200) i decided to try it. I was told when I started the process that a second appointment would be needed to even out any uneven spots. In the past when I have had this process done (for a a lot more $) only one application was required but I gave her the benefit of the doubt. My mistake! To make a long story short - I'm very unhappy and can only hope it fades fast! And, in addition, she charged me another $50 for the return visit! Buyer beware!!!

Review from Karen N.

I think she is a nice lady, but I thought her eye lash extension work on me is just okay. In general, eye lash extension is totally great and I would do it again. The fake eye lash is glued to the root of your real eye lash, and I think depending on how careful the attachment is done, it may affect how long it lasts. The fake lashes are already curled so even the direction of the lash when it's attached matters... you want all your lashes to curl the same way.
She was careful and she tailored the lashes to the length that I want. I just think her technique could use a little more work. She is running a $100 special so its a good price to try it out. -

This was my first time going to Amazing faces, and I won't be going back. I went in for the eyelash extensions, and I thought paying $75 wasn't bad since everyone else in Chicago pays over $300 for eyelash extensions.. well you get what you pay for ladies (remember that) Maureen is a sweet woman, so in no way do I want to make her feel badly, but her eyelash application isn't great, the lashes were extremely too long and i asked her to vary the size from medium to long (so it'd look natural) when It was finished i looked like a drag queen.. I had to go home and clip the lashes, so they'd look more natural and I still haven't gotten them where I want them to be, but they look much better than before!
Please if you want nice lashes, go somewhere else because this is a waste of time and money. -

Clean affordable place but her work is not great. I had my brows done and they did not come out how I wanted them. Every visit I had to explain to her how I wanted them and still did not come out good so if you want permanent eyebrows go with someone who has more experience and better reviews:-)

Review from Shawn r.

I went for the 1st time because of a Groupon for a no chip mani and regular pedicure. I will not be going back. She does not use water for the manicure or the pedicure. She heats up a wet towel in microwave and wraps it around your feet. I swear I would have one a better job in my bathtub. When I sat down to get my manicure she tells me there is a $15.00 charge to remove the existing no chip polish that is on my nails. A bottle of polish remover doesn't even cost $5 so why would I pay her $15, half of what I purchased the Groupon for. She ended up removing it for free but did a crappy and I mean crappy job on my no chip manicure. She also made sure to mention to me the brand she was using on me was for people who aren't her regular clients and a better brand on her regular clients. If you are going to her for this service DON'T. I can still see the old polish on my nails and they aren't painted evenly.

I've had my lashes done a few times at Amazing Faces and love it. I'm a very picky person and will now only let Maureen touch my lashes. I've tried other salon's and had the lashes fall out with-in 1-2 weeks, they would bend and crinkle resulting in looking cheap and fake.Maureen, previously did the individual lashes but recently tried these new silk lashes, they look natural, full and take less time to apply. A plus, I have little patience sitting in the chair and I only had to have touch-ups every 3-4 weeks. I've received many compliments on my lashes and two of my girlfriends just booked appointments.

Review from P N.

So I went to Amazing Faces to try eyelash extensions for the first time. I thought the price was too good to be true since the last place I checked out was going to charge over $200.00. But then again the last place also said it would take at least an hour and a half to apply them and when I came to Amazing Faces it took less than half an hour. If you go to Amazing Faces you definitely are substituting the quality for a lower price tag. I walked into the small office and the nice lady took me into the back room and I laid in the dentist-style chair and not half an hour later she said she was done. My eyes were burning and she said that that was normal and that it would subside. She also said if I wanted to I could take some over the counter pain medicine. I don't think it should be necessary to take medicine just for fake eyelashes. I kept them for the night to see if they would grow on me. They were way to long and way too fake looking and on top of that I could see the adhesive that was used to make them stick. The lady kept telling me how she was using a new type of extension and that they were made of silk and they were better quality and blah blah blah. I went to dinner with my friends and they asked me what was up with my eyelashes (and not in a flattering way). The next day I came back to Amazing Faces and had them removed and got half of my money back. It definitely ruined the eyelash extension experience for me.
