I had the best experience here! I went in for my first ever spray tan and I was very nervous. The ladies working talked me through the process and made me feel comfortable! The salon was clean, the ladies were super friendly, and I got an amazing spray tan done by Ray! I’ll absolutely be back & I highly recommend this boutique!

My experience there was phenomenal. Lovely ladies, Iris did my eyebrow and lash tint and she was efficient, explained the whole process because it was my first time getting lashes tinted and made me feel comfortable. Definitely, would recommend and visit again and again.

Got waxed by Alyssa— specifically eyebrows, lip, chin, & sideburns. She did an amazing job! She made sure to keep things fun, that I was comfortable, & paid attention to detail. I definitely recommend booking with her!This place overall was very clean, very cute (I loved how the place looked 🤩), and all the staff members were friendly and professional!

By far the best Benefit Ive been to! Fantastic customer service! Everyone there is extremely friendly and professional. Jess, the manager, always greets everyone with a smile and makes you feel so welcome. Shes recommended some of my favorite products to me. Ive been going to this location for many years and Erin does the best job on my brows. I always leave feeling wonderful!

I will never go anywhere else in Evanston for anything brow related! Jess and Erin were able to accommodate me last minute and Erin did a fantastic job on my brows - could not be happier. Jess was extremely helpful with helping me pick out the best products for me at the end and squeezing me in. 100% would recommend to anybody. I got exactly what I wanted and more.

I just had my brows done here for the first time by Erin. She did a great job, and was very friendly. The location was clean and well organized. They do a good job with cleanliness, and I felt very welcomed. Ive already booked another appointment for the future. Definitely enjoyed my experience! (Enough that Im writing my first review)

By far the worst Benefit I have ever been to across multiple cities. Jessica, the manager, ruined the entire experience. My appointment was at 1pm. I was running behind and she called me at 1:07 to tell me my appointment was cancelled. I walked in at 1:08 while on the phone with her and she wouldn’t make a concession. They have a policy and she could NOT bend the rules. I explained that I took 2 trains to get there (because they do actually do great brows! The trio is life changing). She made it clear that I should turn right back around and get back on the train because she will not make an exception- even though I’ve been a loyal customer since 2008. Awful customer service. If you must go, go when Jessica isn’t there. She’s rude, on a power trip, and ruins the whole vibe of the store. Switching to a location with better service.

I have been coming to Benefit for years. I get my brows threaded and usually always saw Kayla but not am going to Ray and I have to say, she KILLED it! My brows look so good, maybe the best they’ve ever looked? Truly. I loved them so much I felt compelled to write this review lol. It can be hard to get in for services since I think they’re a little short staffed but I always know I’m in good hands.

I got a arm put wax, brow wax, and eye lash tint done her a couple weeks ago for my Birthday. It was very good and fast and professional. Alyssa performed these procedures. She was fun and professional to work with. I will definitely be going back.

Absolutely love all these girls, they do great service also very clean and has a great atmosphere. My favorite brow arch expert is Ray! she literally kills it every time and shes so knowledgeable on skin care and products. Every time I walk out of there with a spray tan, brow wax, or tint.. I feel like a million bucks! blessedddd!

I love Benefit Evanston! I’ve been coming here for years to get my brows done by Erin. She is the absolute best at brow shaping in this area!

I love Benefit in general, and I particularly like this location. Its a little smaller than most, but its always impeccably organized and Ive never had issues with finding anything, or with making an appointment.Kayla did my eyebrow wax last time, and I really appreciated her professionalism and care. I thought waxing for the first time post-pandemic was going to be a lot more painful... but Kayla was quick, gentle, and very precise. Thank you!

Ray did a great job on my brows. I appreciate this business because they are friendly, make me feel better (love the $5 eye mask!) and provide the services I want and need. They inform me of new services and products without trying to upsell my visit.

Jessica is AMAZING!! She made us so comfortable, she was so patient with my teenage daughter, she really listened and provided great tips and products for youthful & natural make up for a young teen. Also worth noting: there were great safety protocols in place and I noticed the customer service was outstanding for all of the other customers that came in while we were there, with just 2 people working in the store. It was a really fun appointment to get make up done and such a happy atmosphere. Bravo!

Every time I go to get all my services I always have a great experience. I love how clean and professional the store is. Most importantly how safe I feel going in. They have a great policy and follow the guidelines per CDC. I recommend this place not only for the cleanliness but also the staff are very professional. I love getting my brows done. Erin is amazing with brows. I’m sure all the gals are....On top of all the positive vibes in that store the manager Jessica is very professional and very friendly.

I came in during the Art Festival without an appointment and Rae was able to take me within a few minutes of finishing up with another client. Evanston Benefit is my favorite place to go for waxing, they are all so friendly, professional and knowledgeable

Review №32

I have been getting my brows waxed at this specific Benefit for 10 years. I walk in and it feels like I’ve walked into Cheers - everybody knows my name. My brows always look stunning. I have slightly sensitive skin but the blend of wax used at Benefit never irritates my skin.There are products for purchase but never have I felt pressured to buy anything. I do end up buying something every now and then because the Benefit products are great.The store is always clean, the staff is on top of their game with sanitizing and asking clients to sanitize as well.

Although we live in Indianapolis our children and their kids live in the Chicago suburbs. Our visits to see them always end with an appointment at Benufut Biutique! I always get a “Tro” with brow and lash tint and brow shaping. Ray did a great job 2 days ago. Love this store!

I’ve been very happy going to Benefit here in Evanston. Kayla does a great job in keeping my brows very natural looking from shaping to tinting. She’s got a great eye and always checks in throughout process to ensure she’s on the right track. I’ve left pleased each time. Also- the Evanston location is extremely clean and felt very safe going there during the past year.

Review №55

The best brows ever! This was my first time receiving services at Benefit. But it wont be my last! I had a brow wax, brow tint and lash tint with Kayla. Kayla did a great job of listening to what I wanted (natural brows, not too dark), and then showing me what she was going to do. They turned out exactly how I wanted them! Also had fun trying some new products after the services. Services were professional, efficient and felt COVID safe. I will not let anyone else do my brows again!

I’m so late with this review. Every morning when I look at my brows I’m so happy and satisfied. I got my brows waxed and tinted by Erin at the Evanston location and her hands are magic. I explained to her that I am looking for a less femme presentation and wanted a not so dramatic tint and arch. She explained that she understood and talked me through the whole process as she did my brows. I’m super thankful for the experience and will be back for my next appt. thanks, Erin! Also, I didn’t feel pressured to buy a bunch of make up that I don’t actually use or want. They just met me where I was at and I appreciated that.

Stopped in for brow waxing and had an excellent experience.

Review №96

This is the only place I go anymore for waxing, lash tinting and brow tinting and shaping. Both Anna and Erin are excellent, and their judgement on choosing the right brow tint shades is spot on (this is hugely important given that I change my hair color frequently, so how light or dark my brows will look best changes too). We talk about it first so they know what Im looking for, and their advice is never wrong. The entire staff is friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this place.

I have visited this place several times over the past few years. Some times the service is good and sometimes it is not. Dont dare be late for an appointment. I was 5 mins late on my wedding date, and the eyebrow technician was very rude. I get it, however Im still a customer, who spends on average $100 bucks when I visit. I have since gone back and recently had a great experience with the makeup artist. Wish you could feel comfortable shopping there, now it is like a salon, everyone is booked and the product is placed strangely in the store. You dont feel comfortable browsing.
