Before going to Karina for my skin needs, I had been looking for estheticians in Chicago with no luck. Most were far & in suburbs. Fortunately, I came across her instagram page & started following her, quickly realizing she is an esty based in Chicago & super close to me! With much excitement, I booked an appointment with her & my skin journey began. My skin was poor & with zero knowledge on skin, I'd take care of it with products (I didn't know at the time) that were actually harming my skin. Karina taught me how to care for my skin. I use to wear a full face of makeup due to the embarrasement I felt. A lot of acne, scarring, hyperpigmentation, dryness, dullness, & dehydration. My skin has improved drastically. I no longer wear makeup to hide my skin. As corny or cliche as this may sound, I wear my skin prouly. She's full of knowledge & is passionate about what she does. She cares about your skin, probably a lot more than oneself. She will follow up with you through out your journey. She's so patient. She understands your needs & explains thoroughly what you need to do to see improvements. Aside from being such an awesome esty, she's also super cool. Such an awesome soul...
   Read moreI made an appointment with Karina for a custom facial and it was such a great, relaxing experience. The room was calming, clean, and organized. She is so friendly, knowledgeable and clearly very passionate about skincare. The facial itself was super relaxing and Karina was walking me through each step and describing what she was using and why. She is very easy to talk to and created a welcoming and soothing environment. I noticed a significant difference in my skin at the end of the facial and was blown away at the end of the night when washing my face with my new products because my skin felt like new skin. It has never felt this soft or hydrated. Karina has products available on hand for purchase if interested and if she doesn’t have it in stock she will gladly ship it to you or offer for you to pick it up if that’s more convenient. I can’t wait to go back for another facial next month and to learn more from her. I was very impressed with all the knowledge she possesses and her drive to keep learning more. I will definitely recommend her to others when asked! Thank...

I would highly recommend Stellar Aesthetics to anyone whose looking for an esthetician who is highly welcoming, accommodating, and friendly, but most importantly very knowledgeable when it comes to treating your concerns as well as the product she uses and recommends. I’ve been seeing Karina for over a month now and I’ve seen a significant positive change in my skin. She’s also the best at making you feel relaxed and comfortable. Her suit is super cute, it’s relaxing and for me most importantly very clean and tidy. She’s also conveniently located in the heart of Roscoe Village, so after your facial you can get your nails done, grab a cup of coffee at a near by shop or grab a quick bite at any of the...
