Easiest way to do so is by writing a normal windows-application that checks for a "done" flag. You can set the flag from the service, in a database of your choice - or an XML file or similar. Have the application check the file and display a status if required. Services do not run as user-applications; they're started before a user logs in, and may be running when there's no user to view the dialogs. A small application that starts in the normal user-space would be the easiest way to communicate.
