Glamd

Hands down best makeup experience yet! In town from Omaha and had a fabulous afternoon w incredible makeup and face tips. Love Gaby, Tanya and Gia!

Gaby has been doing my lashes for four months, and she works absolute magic! I moved from TX and was hesitant to try someone new… But she somehow manages to give me beautiful, long, full lashes, that also look natural enough to be real. I am obsessed– the only place I will ever go in Chi Town!
Also– their salon is absolutely beautiful!

This review is solely based on my experience in the nail salon downstairs. The first time I went, everything was great. I purchased a voucher on gilt city for my sister and I to get a no-​chip mani and a pedi. I made out appt’s 2 weeks in advance. When we arrived (5 mins early) they told us to pick out our colors and they would be right with us. We ended up sitting for 40 mins, while they had just started on other customers right before we walked in. My sister had just flown in from Florida that day and I wanted to treat her to something nice. We ended up leaving because they then wanted to take us one at a time — when this was a joint appointment. The receptionist’s excuse was «well that’s just the way it is in a salon when we are backed up with customers»… no sorry… they could’ve called me to reschedule or to tell me they wouldn’t be able to accommodate my appt. It was left negligent. I am trying to get Gilt to refund me for the vouchers I purchased because I will not be returning to Glam’d under any circumstance. Apparently Glam’d hasn’t been responsive to Gilt City Customer service to address the issue. Save yourself the time and frustration for a sub-​par manicure.

I regularly get no-​chip manicures at another salon in town, but decided to try this one as it was closer to home and they were offering a deal on Gilt. A no-​chip typically lasts around 2.5 weeks on me. While the facilities looked new and clean, and the staff was really friendly, the manicure was not good. Initially everything looked nice but after a few days it was already starting to crack and chip. I’m at the 1 week mark today and I’m going to have to soak it off because it’s chipped on several nails now.

Glam’d recently renovated the downstairs into a great nail salon. I come here for regular no-​chip manis, and I LOVE it! Jason always does a wonderful job, and everyone is super nice. Some nail salons can be run down and/​or poorly decorated, but Glam’d is very sleek, modern, and welcoming.

Gaby is the best! My eyelash extensions have never looked better. 5 stars hands down.

Brittani and the Glam’d team are simply. The BEST in Chicago. Their quality is second to none and their attention to detail is amazing. Britt started doing my lashes in 2013, during my year as Miss Illinois 2012. They became the official lashe sponsor for the Miss Illinois Organization, under the Miss America Organization. They are the most professional and polished lashe boutique I’ve ever encountered (and believe me we know them all). I would not trust my lashes in any other salon’s hands. Being on the road nonstop, I needed lashes that lasted with proper care… Glam’d lashes go above and beyond. Wow! They look nearly as perfect 2 ½−3 weeks later, when I get a fill, as they did originally. The amount of compliments around my lashes have always been out of this world! People always ask, not where I had my lashes done, but «how I got them so long»… This is a true testament to the quality of work this team does and just how natural they look. I took a break from lashes for a few months, due to travel, and my natural lashes were as good as ever! Another sign of quality work FYI. Needless to say, I get excited to visit this team and their beautiful space every time I book. I’ll continue to be a devoted fan and shout their praises throughout the city.

I wanted to love this place, it’s beautiful, and this review is based SOLELY on the mani pedi downstairs. I’m sure their other services are great. I got the no chip mani and pedicure and while the lady who did it was wonderful, the NO CHIP mani chipped off completely in one week!!! I get no chips every two weeks and this doesn’t happen. The cost is $ 80 and I get mine done at my usual spot for $ 50 AND they have to take it off after two weeks. It rarely comes off on its own. This is super disappointing for a place that charges so much!!! They have a VERY VERY slim selection of no chip colors as well which disappointed me to start but the service was good so I let that slide. Yikes! I wanted to try other services but after the last I’ll stick my usual. Skip the downstairs portion. Two stars for the friendly staff.

This review is a long time in the making, but I LOVE this salon! I have been coming in to get my eyebrows waxed since they opened and Gaby does a great job at shaping the eyebrows without overarching or taking too much out; even when it’s been a few extra weeks! I’ve recently had the Eye Lash Lift done and it has got to be my favorite service! Brittany– the owner– was so awesome when she did it and when I asked if she could fix a part, she was so nice about it! I am not a fan of fake lashes but I love super long lashes and this service allows me to have my OWN lashes be extra long! I will definitely be returning for the Eye Lash Lift.
When I got the Lash Lift done, I learned that they were opening the downstairs as a nail salon so I of course made an appointment for the first day I could! I went for that this past weekend and Susie was amazing! I didn’t have to wait at all, she made sure the water was just right, and I even got to have a class of champagne while I had my pedicure! The color selection is nice, and Susie was so knowledgable of the colors that she made sure I had the matching no Chip and regular polish for my toes and hands! The color looks great and I was so relaxed after the appt (I almost fell asleep during the pedi).
Definitely a must go-​to salon!

I was really excited to try this salon out, as it had so many good reviews, but I unfortunately had a bad experience. I was getting a gel mani/​pedi and the pedicure went fine, but then once I got to the mani part things weren’t as good. I chose an OPI gel color that I had looked up before coming in and when the girl put it on me she put on the thinnest coats I’ve ever seen. After two coats the color was completely translucent, but since I had seen it before on others (it’s called «My Way or Norway») I knew the color was meant to come out opaque. I asked for another coat and she told me the color was always that way. I told her I had seen it on others and she disregarded this. She then went and chose another color and put it on me. I was feeling stupid already after she had told me I was wrong about the other color so I said it was fine. The color I ended up with is nothing like what I chose originally and is so so ugly. Just a warning that I believe they might be watering down their popular colors and are not willing to listen to their customers. It’s upsetting because I usually trust the nail technicians and this one really led me wrong. I’m going to have to go and get my nails fixed now at another salon because it is such a horrible color. j

I and in for some quick «manscaping» bc my friends were giving me a hard time. They did a great job at making me feel clean yet masculine all while also making me feel comfortable in their salon. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and a clean environment. I’ll be back for sure!

I can’t say enough amazing things about Glamd! I would recommend coming here for any occasion needed. The girls are all very educated and know exactly what they are doing! Brittani has been doing my eyelashes for about a year and they are absolutely amazing :) love this place!

Best place to get your lashes done. Individual, volume to one day lashes, these girls know what they are doing. All are certified and know of all the latest and greatest beauty treatments.

I came in to Glam’d to get my makeup done by Gaby Raguso for my engagement pictures. The beautiful décor, designed by the salon owner, is to die for. There were a few ladies getting eye lash extensions, who mentioned I had to try it (Which is on my list for next time!). Gaby took me into a room where she had her makeup kit readily at hand, and began her magic. My makeup came out so beautiful and I can’t wait to go back for my bridal trial.
This would also, be a great place to get your makeup done with a few girl friends, aesthetic is gorgeous and the service is great.

I’ve never had a bad experience here! Great customer service, great atmosphere and great job on brows! They really know skin and not just brows. Every time I go I feel like everyone there loves me like my older sister would. Im moving from the area soon and was telling my mom it’s crazy I may be driving 45 minutes just to keep coming here!

Whether I have a big event or just want to feel beautiful, Glam’d is a MUST for me. Eyelash extensions, eyebrow extensions, Botox and makeup, everything is done in one shop. I walk out feeling like a new woman every time. I recommend this place hands down.

I had an awesome experience at Glam’d. The salon is beautiful and Gabby did an amazing job on my brows and lashes. I highly recommend!

I found this place from a friend and scheduled an appointment for 8am the next day. Tiffany was so good. She did my hair in no time! When I asked her for something blue, she picked the flowers from the bouquet in the store and clipped it on my hair — so innovative!
Gabby was my make-​up artist. She did a fantastic job with me that the makeup was kept for the whole day without any smudges on the eye! Very impressed with both of them and would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Apart from having an excellent location with street or valet parking available right in front, GLAM’D has a friendly and highly experienced staff! I have gotten my lashes and makeup done on a number of different occasions and have never been let down. My lash extensions always last weeks and look flawless. If you’re looking to add a little allure to your everyday look GLAM’D is the place to go!

I had a fabulous experience with Glam’d! The artists are incredible — professional, friendly, supportive, and oh-​so glamorous. I finally felt like the pretty, popular kid at school! Thanks, Glam’d gals! You rock!
