It’s Beauty & Beyond

I have been to Marcia twice to get different things done. The first time I got eyeliner and the second time I got my eyebrows done. Both times her work was perfect and just what I wanted! I even had a botched eyebrow job done by someone else and she FIXED it! I won’t go anywhere else!

I go to Marcia for electrolysis and she is the best! She does her best to accommodate your schedule and her prices are very fair. She’s also given me facials and waxing, always going above and beyond. Her salon inside of her some is set up beautifully and has a spa-​like feel. You don’t need to look anywhere else for electrolysis near Elgin!

I recently had permanent eyeliner done from Marcia at her facility, It’s Beauty and Beyond, and I am absolutely thrilled with my results. I have already referred two of my friends to her. My results are exactly as Marcia had explained. The eyeliner was done perfectly and it’s makes my life so much easier! I no longer have to waste valuable time in the morning applying eyeliner trying to get it perfect every time, Marcia has done that for me. I highly recommend her if you are considering permanent makeup. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional and meticulous.

Contrary to a previous review, I’ve had nothing but a great experience and great results at It’s Beauty & Beyond. I was first referred to this business by friends who have had permanent makeup done by Marcia. I loved their results so much I made an appointment for my own eyebrows. I loved that she took the time drawing them on with pencil before the tattooing to make sure that I had the shape I wanted before it was permanently drawn on. I expected pain with the procedure (because after all it is a tattoo and it’s on your face no less) but she tried to help lessen the pain with numbing cream. Anybody wanting their permanent makeup done, I highly recommend Marcia at It’s Beauty & Beyond.

After finding a very nice add in The Suburban Woman, Northwest edition magazine for permanent makeup by Marcia McCloud, Elgin, IL, I made an appointment for enhancing my eyebrows due to extreme thinning. After a consultation and being assured of her experience and credentials, I proceeded to have the procedure done. It was only supposed to take two appointments but after the healing process (and it was painful to have the tatooing done), the results were unsatisfactory. The eyebrows were not even, one being higher than the other. The front of the brows were not the same shape. One was a half moon and the other rounded. This started in August of 2013 and by January, I contacted Marcia to complain and she agreed for me to come in after she healed from surgery so the date was set for April 17, 2014. It took me a phone call finally because she did not respond to my emails or phone messages that I left. I spent more time with her drawing on my brows before trying to correct them on the table and then she started additional work. After I healed, I see that after four visits, the eyebrows are still ALL wrong. I just emailed her today 7÷28÷2014 to tell her that I am still not satisfied. While she puts on a professional operation albeit in the lower level of her home, she did not provide me with acceptable results. Basically, I am walking around with two eyebrows that are different AND most disturbing, permanent! Please do not have your permanent makeup done here. While Marcia is a perfectly nice lady, her ability is in question. I will need to find someone to try to correct or mitigate the damage done.
