Beyond Beauty Salon N Spa

I go here a couple times a month, the ladies are so amazing. I have facials, massages and shellac manicures. My only complaint is they are so good they are very busy. Make your appointments early.

I had a groupon for a no chip manicure and had no trouble making an appointment as other reviewers said. I called on a Saturday and was able to get in the following day! The location wasn’t hard to fine… right across from Pep Boys. The salon is very small with only one nail station but they had a decent selection of shellac colors to choose from. The receptionist and nail technician were both very friendly and nice. My nails lasted two weeks with no chips or problems, the only reason why I had them changed was because I wanted a new color.

amazing waxing staff & kind & professional!

Hi! Did any of you have trouble calling and making appointments? I’m trying to make an appointment and I’ve called several times and it rings and goes to voicemail

I have had a previous facial at the salon and was very satisfied. I did have some nail services that were not done very professionally. In fact, my nails for my son’s wedding were a disaster and I had to do myself prior to the ceremony.
The last straw was Friday when I arrived for my appointment for my facial. I scheduled my entire day around this appointment. My husband had purchased a Groupon for a pumpkin facial. I had to cancel a previous appointment due to waking up with a horrible bout of the stomach flu. Upon presenting my Groupon Friday, I was told that my Groupon was considered redeemed because I did not give 24 hours notice when I had the flu! Seriously! If this is your policy, maybe a call would have been nice. I will never support this establishment again. It is a small local business that is always doing some kind of renovations. The pedicure chair is right as you walk in the front door. You would think the owner would be trying to grow her business. Lesson learned! There are many other great spas that offer wonderful specials!!!

First of all, book with Nicole! She is funny, knowledgable and makes the whole thing way less awkward than it has to be. She waxes practically every part of my body and always does a wonderful job. I’m finding that I have to book more and more in advance because more people are taking the appointments. My very first appt, something had been mixed up with my booking time so they gave me the groupon price. Not to mention, I’ve never paid full price for the Brazilian wax because I always buy the two for one groupon if they have it. But it IS worth the full price because Nicole does a good job. I try to always have cash so I can tip her. Best place ever! Smooth and pretty.

This place was actually a referral from a friend and I really like it. I go for Brazilian waxes, facials, and Chem peels. The staff is very friendly and scheduling is always easy. Before I received my first Chem peel and facial, I was going to pay full price for both of them and one of the girls actually informed me that there was a groupon for the Chem peel and I could just add on the facial for much cheaper than the full price. I was really surprised since most places would have just let me purchase it for full price instead of getting a deal. When I got my facial and Chem peel, they suggested a cleanser and moisturizer for me. I purchased it and have fell in love with it.

Went for a Brazilian wax with jessica stempinski! She was great! Professional and personable and very clean place!

I am so busy with work and school that I don’t have tons of time to travel to salons up north. I decided to check out salons in the area and found this one online. I was hesitant about trying it, but I’ve been there a couple times and have had fairly good experiences.
Nicole, my waxing esthetician, is awesome! She is very warm, friendly, and knowledgeable and definitely puts her clients at ease. I appreciated her professionalism and the way she explained what she was doing and how to care for the services. She could tell I was nervous and made sure that I felt comfortable. I was definitely satisfied with how everything looked after.
I would say the only issue I’ve really had is getting through on a phone call. It almost always goes to VM, so I have to call several times before I actually reach anyone. I also recommend trying to schedule appointments 1 – 2 weeks in advance, because they are usually pretty booked.

This place is amazing. Beware the other reviews: they don’t understand the process behind the product they’ve purchased (shellac mani or pedi) and take that out on the salon. It’s not the salon’s fault you’re an uninformed consumer. The staff here is amazing, funny, knowledgeable, and they genuinely CARE about their guests and their guests’ nail health. If you like a good soaking, don’t purchase the shellac. If you have super thin finger nails like mine, DO get the shellac because it will strengthen and fortify them. Go into the experience knowing which product you want and why and, trust me, you will walk away more than satisfied.

I purchased a Groupon for a shellac no chip mani/​pedi. I had to make a an appointment which the only available day was two weeks from the day I bought the groupon. I was anticipating this appointment badly, I even arrived early which I rarely do to get my nails done. I was greeted right away by the receptionist who was friendly and was told to pick my color. The nail tech came out right away and began my mani which she started filing my nails and buffing them. I asked «aren’t you going to soak them in water and some cuticle soak?» She responded «no, because it will mess up the shellac and make the polish bubble.» I thought it was weird but I didn’t press the issue. Once the mani was done she placed me the pedicure chair, she came over and began clipping my toe nails, filing, and painting. I asked” are you going to paint my nails first then soak me in the water?” She stated «no this is what a no chip pedi is just the nails.» I said «How can you send me outside with my feet looking like this, my heels are rough, hard, and need attention?» This doesn’t seem right nor professional to send a customer outside and no attention was given the to their feet and they received a pedicure. I was thinking to myself (maybe their water bill is too high or possibly off all together because this doesn’t sound right) The staff was friendly, nice, and interactive with me but their way of doing no chip mani and pedi I don’t agree with. I was embarrassed to say I got a pedicure from this establishment and luckily I had long pants where I could hide my feet so no one could see. I don’t recommend this place to anyone, I’m sorry.

I had bought a Groupon for a mani/​pedi, which had expired. I called & asked if I can use the cost towards a massage instead, they said sure. I enjoyed my massage: I really wish I remembered her name bc was good. She listened to the fact I wanted very light pressure, and mentioned several times to me if at any point it was to much to tell her. I enjoyed it.
The entry way is not very welcoming, but the massage room was.

I have had better. To begin the place was freezing cold, the furnace was «acting up» for the last two weeks. They over charge you for the no chip mani pedi, not worth it. They do not soak your feet, even if you don’t want the no chip. I was so excited to try this place and left very disappointed. It didn’t feel like a spa, it wasn’t relaxing. I left agitated. The only good thing is they had nice staff.

Let me start by saying that I left this place on cloud 9 after a wax. A WAX PEOPLE.
So I was looking for a place that offered a deal on a Brazilian wax and found a group on for it. I hadn’t had one in so long so I checked out the website and was completely shocked to find so much detail about their work. They had a page specifically for group on users.
They allowed me to purchase a bikini wax and upgrade it when I got to the salon so that is exactly what I did. I thought I would also have to add on their numbing agent but I didn’t.
So Nicole did my wax and she was VERY thorough. She explained so much that I didn’t even know about waxes. Like how State of IL regulates all salons use this special powder but most salons won’t because it is so expensive. But she was very nice and quick.
I enjoyed it so much lol (what normal person enjoys a wax) that I prepaid for my next one since they had a special for the month of November. Well worth the risk. Let Nicole take care of you.

I haven’t even stepped foot in this building yet but want to write a quick review for my experience so far. I made an appointment a few days ago because I gave a Groupon that will be expiring soon. I had no problem getting an appointment and the lady on the phone was nice. However all weekend I have been so sick. Think cough, congested, sore throat, the works. This morning I woke up hoping to be better but I was even worse. When they called to confirm my appointment I asked if I could reschedule for next week even though my Groupon expires tomorrow. They were totally OK with it and I had no problem getting another appointment. I hope their beauticians do nails as well as they take appointments, if so I’ll have a new favorite nail place!

I got a Groupon for a Shellac mani pedi. I’ve had a Shellac mani before at salons and there was never an issue with soaking and prepping prior to polish. I was told that they could not soak my hands or feet because the Shellac would break or chip. They applied no cuticle remover, no pumice rub for my feet, no water at all, basically it was a polish only. The best part of a mani and pedi is the soak, massage, heated towel wrap, lotion that all leads to the icing on the cake, the polish. None of that happened. The polish on my fingernails was somewhat uneven and it did end up chipping around the cuticle anyway so I removed it after a week.
There’s got to be a way of doing a real mani pedi with the Shellac, other salons seem to have figured it out.
The staff was very nice, when I asked she said she would give me a pumice for home but then we both forgot.

I have one name and please remember it… Vanessa.
I bought a groupon because I am on the hunt for a new waxing place. I have found it. Vanessa was my esthetician. I went in for a bikini wax. This was the most thorough and complete bikini wax I have ever had. Vanessa was very attentive and pleasant. I will definitely be returning (groupon or not).
The only reason this business did not get five stars is because my appointment started late. I did receive a call letting me know Vanessa was running about 15 minutes late, but it was a bit of inconvenience. I truly understand why Vanessa would run behind. She pays attention to detail and make sure your service is done well and completed.
I am not sure of the other services, but I will definitely be back for my next wax!

I found this gem of a place on Living Social. I booked an appointment for a microderm. The ladies who work here are very nice and pleasant.
Vanessa was my esthetician today and she is fabulous! Very professional and friendly. She made recommendations for what I should be or not be doing for my skin type. I upgraded and added a custom facial that included a neck, shoulder and hand massage which I’m so glad I did. She really spent a lot of time on each service. I felt relaxed and not rushed.

Ima keep it short and sweet.
1. Bought a Groupon
2. booked my appointment, then cancelled said appointment 10 min before, and they kindly rescheduled me for later in the day.
3. Showed up for my appointment
4. Greeted by nice lady at reception area
5. Technician brought me back
6. Waxing services performed
7. Paid and left
Decent place, sweet technician. What more could a lady ask for?
A couple bad reviews are up, but they were a busy little office with, what seemed, a lot of return clients. It’s a shame that not everyone Unilocal.
I’ll be back

I have gone here for numerous facials, I have never had a bad experience. I have seen Vanessa, I highly recommend her as she is very knowledgeable and gives a fantastic neck/​shoulder massage! I did have an appointment rescheduled, but it wasn’t a big deal to me. I also had to wait about 30 minutes one time as the bookings appeared to overlap, but I go on the weekends in the morning so it wasn’t that big of a deal. I have recommended this place, and Vanessa to my friends.
Update: 7÷5÷2014 I had to drop the rating to 2 stars as I called to book a facial with Vanessa and she no longer works there. I tried one other person, and it was not worth it. Vanessa was the only reason I went here, so now I must find where Vanessa has gone!
