Kind words from clients and trainees

Many of these come from my years running a spa in Illinois, which is now under new ownership. I'm grateful for every one of them.

Client reviews


I had a wonderful experience! She was kind, welcoming, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire appointment. The underarm wax was done with great care, and I'm very happy with the results. It was quick, thorough, and my skin feels smooth. I truly appreciated her professionalism and attention to detail. I would definitely recommend her services :)

Made a last minute appointment for an eyebrow waxing and Anna was more than accommodating. From the first interaction on the phone through the entire appointment she was professional and friendly as well as very informative and gentle.

I have been seeing Anna for years and have been very pleased with the services provided as well as the positive attitude and flexibility of all the staff. Anna is a business owner who truly cares for the client foremost.

Linda Simko

Just had permanent makeup done on my upper eyelids. Anna is so quick and precise! And, I barely felt it. If you've been contemplating permanent makeup, it's so worth it.

Dawn Gerth

Anna is the best!

Patrycja Cress

Whether it's a chemical peel, or a microdermabrasion, or routine waxing, I was fortunate to find Anna and her crew members. Occasionally I get my husband a massage, when he tells me he can make that appointment. I love the cosmetics Anna has suggested to me to use, and I don't know what I would do without them.

Sandra Weichbrodt

Anna is a very knowledgeable, professional and kind person with EVERY service she performs along with her staff from Facials to Waxings to Lash & Brow Tintings to Makeup Applications. I recently had permanent makeup done which I LOVE. I wanted a more natural look which she did and it not only saves me time in the morning but when you're not wearing makeup you have a little something there to enhance your features. Anna also sells natural skincare and makeup that she would only use on herself and does... SKIN CEUTICALS, PCA and JANE IREDALE to name a few. I highly recommend Anna.

Anna is the absolute best! Look no further for your go to skin care expert. She has transformed my skin! I was suffering from hormonal acne for a couple years when I decided to go see Anna at the recommendation of a friend. I had been to dermatologists and had been on numerous medications but nothing was working. Anna put me on a skincare regime, as well as a visit schedule. I am happy to say that that was the best choice I made was listening to her! It took some time, but Anna knew what she was talking about!!!

Missy Kordecki

Anna has wonderful products. She gives great facials and does makeup beautifully. What I love most about her is that she is an honest, caring and generous person. She truly loves to make the client feel beautiful and relaxed. She strives to use products without harsh chemicals which is why I still use Jane Iredale products four years after she recommended them. The spa is intimate and beautiful. You won't regret indulging yourself or a loved one here!

Susan Mickle

I went to Anna for the first time as a recommendation from my lash artist while she's on maternity leave and Anna did a phenomenal job!! Her hospitality was greatly appreciated! Anna took her time filling my lashes and did a great job despite not knowing how my lashes were going to be! Thank you so much for my fill!

Tania Trbojevich

I love Anna's spa!!! Anna takes her time to be very detailed and prescriptive as to what exactly is the best recommendation for your skin. Her facials are relaxing and very thorough; you just have a beautiful glow when she is done. Her spa is pristine yet so cozy when you walk in and her product line is unbelievably great. I live in downtown Chicago and I still come to Anna for all my skin care needs, products and makeup. I have had facials at many luxury hotels and medical spas and Anna's spa tops them all. I will always travel to see Anna and her teammates!

Danielle Youker

I have been a client of Anna's for many years and cannot say enough great things about Anna and her team. She is extremely knowledgeable about skincare, and really personalizes her services and products to each client. Her facials are UNBELIEVABLE and her waxing skills are very meticulous. I have also had permanent makeup for my eyebrows and it looks so beautiful and natural. Anna, Tulay and Angela are heaven-sent and I am lucky to be a client.

Wendy Davids

I have been going to Anna's spa for probably close to ten years now. It is an absolutely wonderful place and Anna is such a pleasure to work with. I have had multiple facials, lash extensions, and I buy all of my skincare and makeup from Anna. Highly recommended!

Leslie Youker

Anna's spa is THE spa to go to! Whether you are looking for a facial, lashes, or waxing, Anna's services and expertise are first rate! Anna carries only the best in skin care products and make-up and offers enough variety to meet every budget. You will not get the "big, commercial spa" experience at Anna's spa. Her place is comfortable and cozy and inviting, and you will receive very personalized services there. Anna is nothing but professional and treats every customer individually with kindness and respect. I highly recommend you give Anna's spa a try!

Karen Grassly

Myself and my 2 daughters have been going to Anna's spa for years. The atmosphere is inviting and relaxing. Anna is extremely knowledgeable of all the services and products she offers. She is professional yet extremely personable and very sincere. Anna's spa offers everything you need in terms of skincare; from facials for teenage acne to anti-aging treatments, eyebrow waxing, eyelash extensions, massages and several skincare product lines that work wonderfully. For her clients Anna keeps up on the industry's newest technologies and products as they become available. I would highly recommend Anna's spa to anybody.

Kitten You

I would recommend Anna and her spa to everyone! Anna is a professional and you feel so good when she is done making you feel like you lost 5 yrs in the hour she worked on you. I have tried almost all of her services and will keep recommending them to my friends! Thank you Anna for giving us such great and "special" treatments.

Trainee reviews


I worked with Anna for almost 7 years and learned SO much. With all of her years of experience as an aesthetician and business owner she is a great teacher, very thorough and patient. Although having past customer service experience I was taught so much more including kindness, respect and firmness when needed. I learned how to deal with our retail product representatives including orders, processing orders and questions concerning them. I was in charge of our makeup line and before any seminars I was taught first by Anna as far as applications, lessons and time management. I loved watching her apply our makeup on clients for special occasions and taking in all the tips for a pretty end result. Thinking back on what I learned from Anna speaks of her knowledge and professionalism to teach as an aesthetician and a business owner. No matter what I was being taught we wouldn't move on until she knew I understood and was comfortable. I would highly recommend her!!

When I started working for Anna I didn't have much experience doing Brazilian waxing. I went to Anna and told her how nervous I was to do them. She so graciously took me by the hand (and with her beautiful accent) said "don't worry Mary, I will teach you!" She taught me all she'd learned from many years of experience and I soon became confident in my ability to give our clients a great service. She is patient, she is kind and she is generous! I will forever be grateful to her for being a great boss (and friend) that taught me how to do Brazilian waxing (among other things)! She's the best at what she does and anyone who knows Anna loves her.

Mary Crawford · IL

I came to Anna when I was fresh out of esthetician school to learn Brazilians and eyelash extensions amongst other services. It was honestly the best training I've ever had. She was very straightforward and would quickly correct me when I was doing something wrong so I wouldn't catch bad habits. Anna is very talented, wise beyond her years and the way that she is quick to point out mistakes she will also praise you when you do a great job. She gave me tips and tricks that otherwise would have taken me months or years to learn. She truly is the best and gives you so much confidence in yourself. Look no further when you want an honest, professional training. I definitely recommend her!

Noemi Tapia · IL

I met Anna in 2011 when I was looking for a part time job. I had my esthetician and instructor licenses. While I did have a lot of knowledge in the industry, I was never trained on doing lashes. Anna was extremely knowledgeable, encouraging and patient. She made sure I understood her instructions and answered all of my questions very patiently. She made me comfortable. She is very thorough and gives you her undivided attention. In addition to being an awesome esthetician, she is amazingly kind and a very down to earth person. I felt an immediate connection to her during our first meeting. You instantly feel welcomed and comfortable when you walk in to her spa. She is the absolute best, amazing at what she does and puts all of her love into it. I highly recommend her.

Tulay S · IL

I can't say enough amazing things about Anna. She made every step of my training such a positive experience and truly helped shape my confidence as a new esthetician. She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, encouraging, and always took the time to make sure I understood not just how to do something, but why it mattered.

I'm so grateful I had the opportunity to learn from her. She genuinely cares about her students and wants to see them succeed, and that showed every single day. I honestly loved being trained by her and couldn't have asked for a better mentor. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, believing in me, and helping me grow into the esthetician I am today. I'll always appreciate everything you taught me! 💕

Anna was an absolutely amazing trainer throughout my esthetics training experience. She is incredibly knowledgeable and truly passionate about what she does, and it shows in the way she teaches. She was informative, open, patient, and so kind, which made learning from her feel comfortable and inspiring.

I was so impressed by not only the depth of her knowledge, but also her amazing techniques and willingness to share tips, guidance, and hands-on expertise. She created such a positive learning environment and made the entire experience enjoyable while building confidence in the services I was learning. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to train with someone as talented and genuine as Anna!
