Allure Beauty Lounge

I went to Allure for a Brazilian a while back, and in comparison to other salons that offer waxing, this is probably one of the best. Arlana was very laid back, and the wax was one of the most painless I’ve ever experienced (in 3 countries and many different salons). I got a really good deal on a Groupon, but even at full cost, her prices are incredibly reasonable. The FAQ she provides is also a really nice touch, given that complete waxing can be an… ahem…intimate exercise in pain management. Seriously, for Brazilian waxing, this is stress free and amazingly pain tolerable.

I came here for my first Brazilian & she made me feel so comfortable. Explained the whole process when I made the appointment, before the procedure and during the procedure she made sure I was comfortable. Will defiantly be going back.

What can i say about Arlana, nothing but great things. I purchased a 99 dollar 4 session Microdermabrasion treatment off Groupon for my birthday last year and im so happy i did. I have been coming here for over a year now. Arlana is so sweet and very professional. Her hands are magical. I have tried a few of her services from the Microdermabrasion, Beauty Peel/​Chemical Peel, Vitamin C Facial and my favourite Micro Current. The location is great and the spa itself is so comfortable and relaxing. I have referred her services to friends and family. Shes amazing. My skin has never looked better i get compliments all the time. Thanks Arlana. Smooches.

Quick almost pain free! I shall return! Thanks!

I came to Allure through Groupon and booked a Brazilian with one of the microdermabrasion sessions. It was the LEAST painful Brazilian wax I’ve ever had. I’m moving back North but when I next need a wax I’ll be traveling back to Pilsen.

First I called a total of 3 times first to make sure that the groupon did not have «blackout» dates etc. I SPECIFICALLY asked her more than once was the 8 sessions going to be enough. She was pleasant, good at returning my calls, and booked my appointment. Typically groupon people prefer for you to just pay with them versus going through the app. So I’m guessing this gets them more money, so I always try to help. I asked her what her preference was & she said whichever, if I hadn’t paid through groupon then just pay when I get there. I made it very clear the only package I was interested in was the 8 sessions for 149 which was very much available when I booked the appointment. I drove all the way from lansing Illinois for a 10 am appt. after filling out the paper work she asked me if I had paid through groupon (which was strange considering we previously confirmed I would pay when I get in there) she says okay so you want the $ 99 for 4 sessions. I said No I wanted the $ 149 for 8 sessions as previously discussed. She says that’s sold out and the only thing remaining was the $ 99 for 4 sessions. I feel that was SO unprofessional and screamed con artist on so many levels. 1.) if there was a possibility of them selling out why would you ever provide the option for the customer to pay when they get there. 2.) if that’s what we discusses you should
Honor it. I waisted my time and gas for this epic fail. NEVER again!

Microdermabraison with extractions. Great service. I highly recommend. The building is very artsy and unique as well. Can’t wait for you to experience the cool elevator!

Incredible! Arlana just raised the bar — I’ve gotten microderms before, but this was a total spa experience with super lux treatments in a beautiful loft space. I will never go anywhere else after this. Read the other reviews — everyone loves her.

I bought 4 microdermabrasians on groupon and have had 3 so far. My skin looks great. Arlana is really fantastic – very calm and soothing, not overly chatty. HIghly recommended!

I purchased a Groupon for 4 microdermabrasions the other day with Arlana. The entire experience was wonderful! It’s a relaxing, intimate environment, and she offered me juice. She then did a variety of cleansings, pore extractions, and mask before getting to the microdermabrasion. Afterwards she finished with some other type of mask and a heat pad under my neck for comfort and relaxation.
She was thorough, gentle, and professional and did an excellent job!
With the Groupon ($ 25 per session), it is an incredible steal! Unfortunately, without the Groupon, it is way out of my price range, as the normal cost for the microdermabrasion is somewhere around $ 110. I’m excited to continue seeing Arlana until I use up my Groupon! And maybe some day if I make enough money, I can afford to see her otherwise as well.

I found Arlana when I purchased an Amazon Local voucher for 2 or 3 facials and now she is my go to for all things facial. She has a wonderful hand and my skin looks and feels wonderful whenever I leave her space. I can’t wait to start my microderm treatments!

I purchased a Groupon for 4 microdermabrasions the other day and was able to get in with Arlana last night for my first session. The entire experience was wonderful. Very calming and she really is thorough while still gentle. My face was in pretty bad shape and already today I can tell a huge difference. I scheduled my second session and I’m so excited to go back.
The location is amazing. I love the Pilsen neighborhood and the building she is in is awesome. Renovated warehouse artist loft space. I can’t wait to go back. I recommend this to anyone looking for some pampering with great results.

I have been going to Arlana for waxing and facials for years, but recently asked her to do my makeup for my wedding, as well as my mom’s and sister’s. Arlana is truly an artist. She has a gift for applying makeup, and will transform you into your most beautiful self! She is incredibly experienced as a makeup artist, has her own line of high quality make up, and is professional, flexible, and easy to work with. We will be using Arlana again for my sister’s wedding in a couple of months, and I will continue to purchase my makeup from Arlana and see her for facials and skincare maintenance.

She was great! I went to her over a year ago and I had a Groupon. She treated me with finesse, and she was graceful. I would go back to her in a heart beat. Once I have some extra cash I’m definitely booking another appointment.

I started visiting going to Arlana after buying a groupon for a set of facials last year and have since continued to go to her. I have very sensitive skin but not once have any of her facials resulted in irritated skin. Quite the contrary, my skin is healthier looking and the Apple facial has been my favorite! Very relaxing and inviting atmosphere.

I am a Groupon Guru, I do not pay full prince for much of anything anymore; especially not beauty services. Thus my clicking on «microdermabrasion» and searching through the providers and selecting Allure Beauty Lounge because of the FOUR micro-​derm tratments with extractions. I have had two sessions with Arlanna and am very happy with the service. She starts with a great facial, then steam, hot towel, the actual microdermabrasion, then the extractions, mask, and finally a moisturizer. I have been fighing the War for Clear Skin for months and am finally turning the tide in my favor. I have sensitive, acne-​prone, oily skin and the products and techniques Arlanna has used did not break out my skin, which is always a plus for me. Her space in the Lacuna Lofts is small but clean, inviting, and relaxing.
I bought the most FABULOUS pink lipstick from her line called «Charm» and it is the reason why I am Unilocaling her establishment. It is so pretty, I’ve gotten compliments from men (and women), and it LASTS-​quality lipstick is hard to find! She also does eyebrows, decent but a bit over-​priced at $ 20 (so I took off one star). :)

I visited Arlana for a brazilian bikini wax. I have had many over the years, some have been good, some have been terrible. I had recently moved back to Chicago and was concerned about finding a good waxer. I am so happy I came across Arlana! She uses a hard wax which makes for an almost painless wax. She is very easy to talk to which also distracted me. Her space is quiet, private, and very relaxing. Her technique is very good — after one session, I was sure I found my go-​to person for waxing. She also created her own makeup line and is an esthetician.
Her space is in an artist loft building, which is a great creative space. It can be a little tricky to navigate, but when you book your appointment, Arlana will give you the information you need to find it.
Highly recommended.

Have been to Arlana for facials and waxing. Both were great!

Arlana is amazing at what she does. I went to her for my first Brazilian and I’ll never go anywhere else. She makes you feel completely comfortable and relaxed. She does a great job and truly seems like she loves what she does! I hug her every time I leave — that’s how comfortable she makes me feel :) I have shown up on the complete wrong day for my appointment and she had already left and she turned around and came back for me without any hesitation. You hear horror stories all the time of people having terrible waxes or experiences and this will definitely not happen with Arlana!

Allure Beauty Lounge was phenomenal with putting together my makeup birthday look!!! I got my makeup done with some friends at a shopping party! The makeup is such a vast range of colors and Alana the owner of ABL explained to me how to take care of my skin and that her makeup does not cause breakouts etc. She listened to what i wanted and the colors I wanted to use. I was highly satisfied with the results and the longevity of the look. I Love! Love! Love the colors used!!! The pink lip gloss was the icing on the cake and I can’t wait to use ABL again in the future!!!
