Such a professional, respectful, clean and relaxing spa. Everyone was so friendly too. The massage itself was amazing, and I felt so relieved after. The therapist listened to what I said and focused on the areas I was struggling with. Highly recommend this spot. read more

I got a gift card for my bday and never got around to using it for over a year . Finally decided to make an appointment on a weekday after work and got there . I was transported into a peaceful oasis that I never knew existed . So calming with salt lamps and aesthetically decorated warm space . Was greeted pleasantly and offered warm hibiscus mint tea which I enjoyed so much that I bought some back from their gift shop. My therapist Tanira was excellent used the right amount of pressure which was what I needed and the hour and half flew by . Their meditation room was utterly peaceful and amazing. The person who answered the phone at the spa gave me exact parking instructions which was great only thing I forgot to validate my parking and ended up paying $20 instead of $4. I shall be back soon! read more

I love this spa but I had a massage scheduled on my birthday and ended up having an emergency situation that resulted in the hospitalization of my daughter. I called to ask if I could reschedule and was told yes, but I would still have to pay the 50% of the service. I completely understand, having to protect your business, but when I was asking to reschedule, the money was not going to be lost and you would've helped a very tired, overworked mom who was just looking forward to her birthday treat for herself. read more

I've been to many spas and was on the hunt for a new spot--and after much research, Allyu came out on top. I booked a spa day with my mom, and it was exactly what we needed. The experience was not only incredibly relaxing but also very cost-efficient. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere, calming vibes, and soothing scents hit us right away. We were even able to enjoy our treatments in the same room, which made it feel extra special. Afterward, we relaxed with some tea in a serene lounge area. Bonus: they offer parking validation! Can't wait to go back. read more

I called on 2/9/26 at 9:55am to book a massage package and had a very unprofessional experience with the front desk. After sharing the package I wanted and a preferred date about a week out, the staff member scoffed and spoke to me in a condescending way, explaining that people book months in advance. I told her the attitude felt rude and asked if there were any alternative options available. Instead of addressing the concern or helping, she placed me on hold. At that point, I decided not to proceed with booking. I understand limited availability, but customer service matters, especially for a spa. This interaction alone cost them a potential customer. This is my first negative review on yelp, because i think the owner deserves to know and train the staff better. read more

My wife and I LOVE Allyu. We recently just had our first child and were looking for a Spa in the area to get some massages to tame the sore muscle pains of early parenthood. We found Allyu and were immediately impressed. The masseuses have been very good, ask for feedback on pressure and very kind/welcoming. Afterward, they offer you a hot glass of tea and some time for you to chill in their meditation tent. They also have a very quiet waterfall and incense around the building. It's a treat every time we get to come in! Highly recommended - come check Allyu out and relax! read more

Allyu - The amazing meditation tent! - Day Spas Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

One of the bestest spas I have been to. Such a great experience with really nice professional staffs and peaceful ambiance. They are Asian inspired and bit and it stands true with their services. Lot of them were raving about their showers and it was too good!! Only feedback would be they can make their process a bit slow. I was rushed into services without even a small break. But otherwise too good read more

I spent my July 4th week holiday at Allyu Spa to relax and rejuvenate for work next week. Luckily, I got a last-minute reservation. I've been to this place before and I keep coming back. My esthetician this time was Hope, and I absolutely love how they first ask about your pain areas and any areas you're uncomfortable with for a massage. This time, I got a hot stone massage as my back and neck were really hurting, along with an additional scalp treatment. What I really love about this place is the cleanliness, the ambiance, the quietness, and the meditation tent. Everything about the place is amazing. The music playing in the background during the massage is very soothing. During the massage, my esthetician kept asking if I was comfortable. The scalp treatment involved a sesame oil massage that provided hydration to my hair. After the massage, you're usually offered green tea. Since I took the scalp treatment too, a shower was included, and I have to say the space was very clean with hot water, towels, and a hairdryer available. I absolutely recommend this place. A tip while reserving a massage: make sure to clearly mention the gender of the masseuse you prefer. read more

Wow, we had an incredibly luxurious & memorable experience here! My lovely boyfriend booked for us the couples exfoliating sugar body polish w/ 80min massage. First was the exfoliating sugar scrub! I thought this was borderline painful at the start, but it quickly became tolerable. The practitioner exfoliated my entire body thoroughly and went over areas multiple times. We were led to private showers afterwards to rinse off and I instantly felt how utterly soft my whole body was! Everything from the shower room to robes and toiletries felt luxurious and of high quality. Finally, the massage portion! The practitioners asked our pressure preference, areas of focus, etc. We both thought the massages were exceptional and very relaxing with the calming background music. My boyfriend who typically has tension & tight muscles felt his whole body loosened after his deep tissue massage. His masseuse also gave him some suggestions on stretching exercises. Both practitioners were attentive, kind, & professional throughout our entire experience. This place is top tier on their focus on customer satisfaction, quality of services and experienced practitioners! We had a phenomenal, relaxing experience and felt cleansed & rejuvenated afterwards! Might cost you an arm & a leg, but at least you walk out renewed :) read more

Great staff; very knowledgeable and dedicated to providing a healing, relaxing and rejuvenating experience.

Love this place. My partner and I have gone twice and have had a great experience both times.

The best deep tissue massages. I especially enjoy spending time in the relaxation tent afterward with water, it really helps me unwind.

While the decor was nice the massage was mediocre and not worth the money. I try to get a massage every month to help with posture and tightness and this was one of the least effective massages I have received in recent history. read more

I called a couple weeks to get a couple's massage scheduled and the two ladies who answered my calls were super friendly and explained the different massage services very well. We went with the Sugar Scrub Polish with a 50-minute Massage. The day of: Immediately when you walk in, you already start feeling relaxed with the aroma scents. We were given spa sandals and our masseuse (Jennifer and Tina) guided us to our room. They explained the process to us so we know exactly what to expect and made us feel comfortable. Once the sugar scrub is done (which I highly recommend because it exfoliates your whole body), you are guided to a private shower to rinse off. Once you come back to the room, they massage you for 50 mins with moisturizer and essential oils. They will spend more time in areas where you need extra muscle tension released. At the end, they offer you water/tea and guide you to the seating area where you can relax a bit before heading out. We were extremely impressed and pleased with our experience at Allyu Spa. We were really relaxed and in a positive mindset when we left. Everyone was very professional and friendly. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing spa day! Tip: If you park in their parking lot across the street, they will validate for $4. read more

This is an incredible spa! The space is relaxing, and the staff always goes above and beyond to make sure clients are comfortable. Visits here leave me feeling renewed, well rested and completely spoiled. I will definitely be coming back again and again! read more

I've been wanting to come here for a while now and finally decided to have a treat yourself day after the holidays. I booked a 60 minute massage + 30 minute scalp massage and was able to get in relatively quickly, only had to wait a week for an opening. It's inside the Groupon building and you need to go down the escalator to enter. Everyone working there was friendly and accommodating. After signing the papers they take you to a tent to wait for your specialist. My masseuse Chris was great. He was attentive to my requests and took the extra effort to make me feel comfortable. Even better, the rain fall shower at the end to wash everything off was a great way to end the day. Would love to come back for some more body work or other treatments in the future. read more

This place is so awesome. It's a beautiful spot to visit in Chicago. As a spa it's a great place to unwind and reset. I will be back

I've been back almost every birthday and special occasion because this place is the absolute best. I have never had a bad experience, and every massage therapist or aesthetician or nail tech I've ever had has been excellent. Some have different strengths, but they're all exceptional. Highly recommend. read more

I got a Classic Spa Pedicure with no polish with Ivy, and it was great! The person at the front desk gave me some incorrect information about the pedicure options, but Ivy was able to clear it up (the website is correct). Be sure to bring cash for the tip. I especially liked the hot stone massage portion of the pedicure, and this may have been my favorite pedicure I've ever gotten. I'm more focused on the foot care aspect than the polish though. The setting is nice and dark and definitely has an incense smell. They offer hot tea and water and the pedicure area was very quiet. read more

I came to Allyu spa to treat myself to celebrate a special occasion and it was a great experience overall! If you order 3 services totaling $300 or more, you can create a "personal spa day" and they will give you a 10% discount on the total cost (and also automatically add on a 20% gratuity). The decor is well done and really helps to create a relaxing ambiance. Just as a reminder, it is a good idea to check in 15 minutes prior to your appointment time so that your services will start on time. Of the services that I've tried, I really recommend the massage services at this place, which are some of the best I've ever had! I would probably skip on the manicure, pedicure, and facial services next time as I thought those were more standard. But definitely check this place out for their massages! Also, as a pro tip, you can book a free 20 minute rain shower complimentary as part of your services but you just have to remember to ask for it when you call in for your booking. read more

Allyu - Day Spas Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The facial and massage were great. I don't think I would get the hair exfoliated again. While it was pretty good - what I expected to happen didn't and that could be my fault- I thought it was a more hair follicle experience read more

Allyu - Lobby - Day Spas Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Writing a fresh review as I just returned for the first time after a few years! AMBIENCE: Very relaxing and upscale! Located on the river in a quiet area with a beautiful lobby and outdoor seating. There's a meditation tent where you wait for your service. Everyone wears spa sandals. They serve water and tea. Staff speak in relaxing voices. My favorite rooms are the private steam showers (book one for free for after your service!). MASSAGE: Every massage I've had here has been great (and I've had MANY massages and visited MANY spas, so I have plenty to compare to!). I recommend ROGER for deep tissue/trigger point work - he is dedicated to getting those knots out!!!! But avoid him if all you want is someone to lightly rub you with oil for an hour while you fall asleep. FACIAL: I came for a facial once years ago. It was so terrible it was enough to prevent me from ever trying again. But the manager made it right for me and I'm hoping it was reflective of just that one provider, not the spa as a whole. Overall, my favorite day spa in Chicago! read more

For a fancy spa that charges fancy river north prices I received a mediocre below average manicure. Manicurist was nice, but could have been a bit more meticulous for a $50+ manicure read more

I have mixed feelings about this spa. However, I think this spa has GREAT potential. But I was very disappointed with a few things. First of all, they don't have a women's lounge/bathroom, which I have never seen at a spa. (They do have single stall restrooms) You have to walk into the treatment room in your clothes then get undressed for your service. It really affected my experience. I thought this was a given at spas? This is the main factor making me not want to go back. It's a deal breaker. My massage was very mediocre. It was relaxing and the masseuse was very kind, made the room feel comfortable etc., but the massage itself was very disappointing. My only way to describe it is I don't think the masseuse understands the body, completely passed over the areas that were clearly very tight and needed attention. I communicated what I needed, but nothing changed. I left feeling 0 pain relief from the massage. I don't think I will get a massage at Allyu again. I recently read a review for Allyu that said "it felt like she just rubbed me with lotion for an hour." I completely agree. I enjoyed my facial with Sara. She was very kind, calming, and gentle. I left with my skin looking significantly better. But I've had better facials. People may think this is too picky but I get massages pretty often and tried many places. However, the staff is very friendly and professional. The spa is very beautiful. They have the bones to grow so I really hope this feedback helps. read more

This place pampers. I go when I need a pick me up and get the works. You'll spend about $550 for the package,tip included for all practitioners. My favorite is the facial and meditation tent as well as the rock shower. After a few hrs you walk out reborn. Skin hurts for a day but it's so worth worth the results. 90min Chakra or you can choose the reflexology massage. 75min High Frequency facial and peel. Scalp massage w/ 90min hot stone,sugar body polish,frequency facial,mani/pedi(not impressive at all so I'd skip). It all took about 5 hrs so allot.. skip the nails to save some time. Overpriced for literally nothing. The spa offered a serene escape with skilled therapists, creating a blissful experience. The meditation tent, however, had proper ambiance and felt somewhat lone. Loved that part. You're served your choice of tea during it. Overall, a rejuvenating visit with room for improvement in the nail space. The rest was perfection. Designed in the shape of a chakana, a South American sacred symbol, the tent is a beautiful space to relax prior to appointments. The chakana represents the cardinal directions and their respective elements, and altars within the tent pay homage to these elements. The beautiful pyrite crystal and white curtains in the center of the tent represent the balance between spirit, body, intellect, and emotions. TIP: please get the shower. It's so beautifully worth it. read more

This spa is very clean! The front desk employees were nice and explained the process. I had a massage and it was very good and the room was relaxing. The other procedures were a customized facial and eyelash tint. The eyelash tint did burn a little bit so I wouldn't get that again. The tent is neat but the seats were not comfortable for how nice they have it set up. I would go again and try other services. read more

Was in Chicago for a few days and scheduled a facial for my mom. I booked the 'Rejuvenating High Frequency Facial' thinking it would be the best for skin rejuvenation and restoration but her esthetician examined her skin and suggested the 'Silver Ion Reparative Facial' instead. My mom loved the facial and realized that she should take more care of her skin like she used to do. She's always busy so I'm glad she had an amazing and relaxing experience. About the spa- We walked in and immediately became very calm from the incense, lights, and decor. I was offered hot tea (I chose peppermint) to drink in the meditation tent while my mom got her facial (pictures included). Once she was done she picked hibiscus tea (customers' favorite) to drink in the tent for some time. Overall great experience. I did not receive a service but the ambience helped me wind down too. read more

Honestly, this was the best experience I have ever had at ANY business. I was given a spa package to relax after finishing chemotherapy in January. This was better than actual therapy. I didn't even know this was exactly what I needed. Jen gave me the best deep tissue massage and let me vent. I was feeling so terrible about myself that my hurt was anger and she totally worked it out of me. I walked out of my first session and EVERYONE said I looked so relaxed. I felt it so much better. Then June/Six, did my reflexology pedicure. What a wonderful woman and I felt so much prettier. I usually don't do well with pedicures. Such a kind woman. I feel bad I don't remember who did my facial, (Jackie?), anyways she helped me with my dry skin and I felt glowing. I left the spa feeling the best I have felt in years. I'm the new regular. Thank you Allyu. This meant more to me than you know. read more

We came here as a group of 5 gals and the experience was very nice. We called in to schedule our services and booked a community room 30 minutes before our appointment. We were going as a bachelorette party so it was nice to hang out with everyone for a bit before. They had cushions to sit on and gave us tea. Our therapists came to the room to get us when it was time. The deep tissue massage was great. Private room and very peaceful. After, we did the shower room which was relaxing as well. Since our services were different timings, the shorter services went back to the community room while waiting for the others. They even treated us with some goodies. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Great place for individual services or group! read more

I received a gift card for Allyu after passing my board exams. I had a facial, massage, gel manicure and regular pedicure. The facial and massage were incredible. So relaxing, and all of the products they used smell amazing. The service was excellent. The manicure and pedicure were not great. The manicure lasted 4 days before it started chipping, and there was hard polish left in the crease of my nail. Another nail "smudged" the day after, which I didn't even know was possible with gel polish. For the pedicure, the polish was too close to the cuticle and some grains from the scrub were not rubbed off and ended up under the polish. I would definitely come back for other services but would pass on nail services. read more

I can't say enough glowing things about this spa! My best friend and I did a Chicago trip (coming from Minneapolis and Boston) a month ago and booked massages here. I wish we had added on some chakra or one of their other more specailty offerings, and if we're back we'll definitely do that. The masseuses were EXCELLENT - honestly, probably one of the best massages I've ever had. I was also 6 months pregnant, and my masseuse was so caring and attentive. Incredibly relaxing environment, A+ masseuses, excellent customer service. Can't get any better! read more

Visited here for the first time during Covid and luckily made appointments about a month in advance for myself and my friend. Parking was right across the street in the parking garage easy to find and locate as well as to exit and get into the actual spa building. Pricing isn't so bad either even if you go over the validation hours. I have no photos to upload for this visit as cameras and cell phone usage are highly discouraged which I completely understand. Between my friend and I we had a variety of services from manicure pedicure reflexology massage sauna facials and chakra balancing. The ambience of this place is awesome considering that it is in the heart of the hustle and bustle of the city. The staff is completely friendly very helpful and super kind. The services are quite unique they offer some customization which is great as well and the pricing is highly competitive considering all the spa options in the neighboring towns as well as within its city vicinity. I would definitely come back again as this was an incredible experience super clean I felt safe despite the Covid environment and this was a great way to spend half the day or up to 4 1/2 hours here. read more

After a morning of grocery shopping to stay ahead of the impending cold weather that has threatened Chicago, the Midwest, East Coast, and the South, I was looking forward to my scheduled facial and head massage. It was exactly what I needed after going to multiple stores and standing in long lines waiting to check out. Did I mention it was my day off? When I finally got to my anticipated destination and walked into the doors leading to Allyu Spa, I could feel the warmth and smell the calming aromas of the scented oils that delighted my senses. I knew I was in for something special, and indeed it was. Tiara was the esthetician who performed magic on my face. The facial that she gave me was calming, relaxing, and gentle with every touch. It was so relaxing that I almost fell asleep. I did not want to miss the experience that was also filled with accompanying neck, shoulder, full arm, and hand massages. Then it happened..............The Head Massage! Tiara, massaged my worries, concerns, and unnecessary thoughts away as she gently rubbed my head with special oils and magic fingers. Not too soft. Not too hard. Just what I needed. My first experience at Allyu Spa for my 40th Birthday back in September was an amazing. This second experience, did not disappoint. I am glad that I was able to give myself a Christmas gift; The Gift of Relaxation & Serenity. read more
