F.A.B. FACE AND BODY

F.A.B. Face and Body is a private practice in Crystal Lake, Illinois, with a second location at 890 East Higgins Road in Schaumburg. Visits are booked by appointment, and each client is seen one on one unless the space has been reserved for a spa party. The business says its aim is to support wellbeing of mind, body and spirit through skin and body care delivered by trained professionals. The legal name is F.A.B. Face and Body LLC.

The menu is organized around hair removal, skincare and henna body art. Waxing covers underarms, bikini and extended bikini, Brazilian, and several combinations, including a men's full back, chest and stomach package and a larger package that adds half legs. Prices for waxing range from $29 for underarms to $135 for the largest package. Facials include a one-hour Royal Facial, a 45-minute Full Back Facial Treatment, and the Golden Goddess, which pairs a wax with a facial over about 75 minutes for $150.

Laser hair removal is requested through an online form, after which the business contacts the client to schedule. Clients from both locations are seen in Schaumburg for these treatments. Consultations can be in person or virtual, and virtual one-on-one support is also offered.

Booking requires a credit card, a gift certificate or a non-refundable deposit, and the deposit is applied toward the cost of the service. A card or certificate is charged only for a late cancellation or a no-show. Cancellations or changes need at least 24 hours' notice; with less notice, or if an appointment is missed, the full cost of the service is charged. Clients are asked to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early to complete paperwork. Late arrivals are accommodated when possible, but the service may be shortened and the full price still applies. Arriving 15 minutes or more late without notice means rescheduling, and the deposit is not refunded. Spa gift certificates come in $50 and $100 amounts and can be used toward any service or product.

Combines Western treatment methods with Eastern healing and wellbeing knowledge, tailoring each treatment to the individual.

The business describes its goal as a relaxing environment with one-on-one appointments.
