The Lashe Spot

I tried the lash perm at this location. Lashes came out crooked and very uneven. I won’t be coming back here.

Yes, I like shopping at Aldi and prefer eating at cheap BYOB’s. That is because a woman needs to have her priorities straight. And spending $ 100/​month so I can have Kim Kardashian lashes that require no mascara whatsoever is WORTH EVERY PENNY. There is a slight difference in quality of service when using a Groupon vs paying full price. That is my only complaint and I feel like it’s a legitimate one.

I have been to the location on Erie and it was great. Tried this location cause I was in the area. It is much smaller that the location on Erie but I would come back if I am in the area.

WORST customer service EVER. I have been going to get my lashes done at the buck town location every 3 weeks, for nearly 4 years. I love my lash tech, however very time I try to reschedule an appointment I am provided with THE WORST customer service. I just got off the phone with a woman that was very short and seemed like I was a HUGE inconvinience to her. I am so sorry that after spending thousands of dollars at your establishment, i put a damper in your day by trying to reschedule. This has happened the last 4 times i Have tried rescheduling. Unacceptable & Unprofessional. Whoever they have answering the phones needs to be replaced asap.

I’ve been getting lash extensions for a year now and I couldn’t be more happy with them. I lived in California and would get them done on a regular, I then moved to Chicago and needed a place to get my lashes filled. After doing some searching, I found The Lashe Spot, I immediately fell in love with this spot. They do such a great job and the quality of the lashes is amazing! I upgraded to their «synthetic mink» lashes for $ 25. Heads up they run on time, i was about 10 minutes late to my appointment, they just use the time left in the appointment. I’ve had both Evelyn and Stephanie do my lashes and they both are very detailed and they work quickly. Fast, friendly, professional, top notch keep it up ladies!

If you’re looking into getting lashes and wondering who to trust, book your appointment with Stephanie! I have always done my lashes with her and never have I been disappointed. She makes you feel comfortable and you’ll fall in love with those lashes once she’s done! :)

I can’t resist a Groupon for eyelash extensions. I’m like that person who can’t seem to commit because they’re on the lookout for something better. This is the 5^th place I’ve tried for eyelash extensions, and by far the worst out of the bunch.
Even with the Groupon, I feel ripped off. Let me break down my issues with Lashe Spot:
1) I got the «Feather» lashes. As they were the more expensive option out of the two, I assumed it meant a full set. Not so. The tech explained that they do «every other lash.» Other salons do a full set for a similar price. Which leads into problem #2.
2) She didn’t actually do every other lash. My left eye looks less done than my right eye. Upon closer inspection, it’s because she completely neglected the corner of my left eye. She should have done 4 – 5 lashes there but did not.
3) They started falling out the same day. I found 4 that fell out. And it’s not because I got them wet– I know very well how to maintain them. They did not fall out with my natural lashes, as they SHOULD have done. She just did a poor job of bonding them or the bond that this salon uses sucks balls.
4) By day 3, enough fell out that I have a strange gap of lashes on my right eye.
5) The tech told me that I need to refill every 2 weeks (and it costs $ 50). Seriously, lady? Who has time for this every 2 weeks? She told me it’s a time commitment, just like haircuts and manicures. Ooookay. Well, I don’t get my nails done and I get my hair cut every 3 months.
6) The 2 week thing is totally not true. You should NOT have to refill every 2 weeks. 3 weeks, possibly. But it’s more reasonable to go monthly. But that’s only if you go to a salon that does a good job and uses a good bonding agent. The last person who did my lashes was at a Korean salon in Niles. I would have gone back if it wasn’t so far. Her lashes stuck for almost 2 months. The only reason they fell out was because of my natural lash falling out.
7) Their regular prices are so inflated, especially considering how poorly the lashes stay on.
I wouldn’t go back, even with a Groupon. It was a waste of time and money. I just look like I have some Covergirl mascara on. I could have saved myself $ 90 and an hour of my time.
Next time I’m making the trek out to Niles and seeing that Korean lady. She had a Groupon too.

Do not spray tan here!!! The first 2 times were actually very good but the third was so awful I could not leave my house. The bottom of my feet were black due to standing in a puddle of tanning spray and the tops of my feet were shades darker than the rest. I was soaking wet and polka dotted and only now 3 weeks later am I back to normal. I had to cancel my event that weekend as I was not presentable to go out… AND had to call for 3 weeks in a row plus sent emails with pictures to complain and nobody responded to either until I called and got them live.
After all this, the only thing offered was to come back and so it again. No thanks!

I purchased a GroupOn to get my eyebrows done as I’ve been having a very hard time finding a great place! So happy with my purchase. They are very professional and do a great job!

I got my eyelashes refill there, it’s been a week now and I have lost half of the eyelashes already… Wasn’t worth $ 100 dollars, I have been to other places where service was much better. Not coming back to the Lashe spot for sure. My lashes were done by a junior technician, maybe that was the problem… But even with a junior technician their prices are higher comparing to other places offering eyelash extensions. They could’ve had a better service.

I can’t believe that people can get away with this. Bad talk other eyelash techs to talk their selves up, that’s bad business, but on top of that still didn’t produce good service your self. And all you can say is «I am so sorry» really! I am not looking for your sorry. I am looking for you to be trained in what you suppose to be specialize in.

Love my feather look lash extensions! I had a groupon and was easily able to schedule an appointment. The salon is really cute and girly and super clean. Maria did my eyelashes and her work is amazing! She explained all the steps to me as I laid back in the comfy chair. I dozed off at least twice. I had contemplated upgrading to the mascara look, but I was pleasantly surprised by how great the feather look is! My lashes look super long and so natural. My friend kept asking me how I managed to make them look so long. She could not believe they were extensions. This is probably a look I’m going to keep up! :)

My new go to for a lash perm. My lashes are very very long and i look half asleep when I’m awake, so my answer is a lash perm! The women here are great, friendly and work very fast. Its calming to just sit for 50 min with my eyes shut. The results are great and last for up to 3 months. I just returned from my 2^nd visit and couldn’t be happier. Cant TIP on the card, so bring cash of ra tip.

I have been getting the Mascara look for over 6 years now, and the Lashe Spot is the best place to go! I originally went to Claudia at the downtown location (she is fabulous at lashes and has a great personality too), but I switched to Bucktown when it opened because it it closer to where I live and I wanted to start getting my lashes done on Saturdays.
I have seen Maria at Bucktown for about a year now, and she is AMAZING. Professional, nice, and most importantly she does a fantastic job with my lashes. She listens to what I want done, and will change things up a bit if requested (lengths/​curls, etc). She is also very hygienic, which is important when eyes are involved. I buy the 9 packs, which if you plan on going consistently, are a great deal. I see her every three weeks, and my lashes constantly look full, but never fake. I get complements by strangers on a weekly basis, which a fun aspect of getting them done.
Also, just a note on the space, it is a really cute location to get lashes done (its a converted house decorated in lavender and white), and they have done a great job decorating it. It is relaxing, has comfortable chairs to sit in during the process, nice and eclectic music and it has great natural light so you can really see what the lashes look like when you are done.
One final tip, if you want to keep your lashes longer: (1) try not to get them wet the first 24 hours (aka don’t shower and use an umbrella); (2) don’t rub your eyes; and (3) don’t wear mascara (you don’t need it with the mascara look!). I have been getting them done for a long time now, so I have learned a few things along the way!

I’ve gone 3 – 4 times to get eyebrows and feather lashes. Even though they have an issue with canceling your appointment (so do not wait til the day before you leave to go out of town to get this done). Once I do actually get in, the salon is very nice and the girls that work there are professional and friendly. I went to the Erie location for my wedding and they were great there also (mani, eyelash and eyebrow) I won’t go to any other place. I went to a salon downtown (Garbriella’s), they were the WORST. worst pedicure and eyelash application (glued my eye together).

I’ve had lash extensions done 5 times prior to trying out The Lashe Spot. My experience there was good. The facility is nice, as was the staff. The lashes look nice and I received many compliments on the first and second days of having them. However, I’ve developed an eye infection in both eyes after 3 days. I’m terribly red and itchy… also have significant yellow drainage. I now have to take antibiotics for a week. This is a sanitation issue.
I wont be going back. Gross.

If you need your eyebrows done and want a personal touch, you come to Lashe Spot and ask for Stephanie. She is the best! She only works at this location 2 or 3 days a week, but she is worth the wait. Though, it isn’t difficult to get an appointment for the days she is in the salon. I will go nowhere else, while I am in Chicago.
MUST TIP IN CASH! They will not let you put it on your card. The only bad thing.

I got «feather» lash extensions which totally transformed my eyes (in a good way)… magnifique! Brand new, very cute and tidy shop.
