I had been looking forward to a 90 minute massage all week. When I woke up in the morning, my legs…read moreand hips were sore from a tough run the day before. I'm leaving this review almost 12 hours later and I'm not sore at all. When I arrived, Rebecca asked how my day had been going so far, explained her normal routine, and what my needs were. The spa is in a beautiful, sunny former department store in downtown Champaign. Zen River Spa is everything I have been looking for in a massage.

My experience was one of the best. I appreciated how George talked me through each step of the…read moremassage. Helped me understand what he was doing and allowed me to relax even more. I showed George the areas that felt tight in our prep talk, and he was able to find the rest through his full-body assessment. Using my body weight to help stretch my back, he gave me one of the best stretches I've had! He was very attentive and cautious when identifying any weak or sensitive muscles. I believe George is truly passionate about his work and enjoys what he does. The room was clean, and the environment made me feel comfortable throughout my visit.

Home Spa is a massage business that operates in Champaign's Marketplace Mall. They have a…read morestorefront location (currently in the old bookstore location next to Sears, at the time of this review) and generally have a kiosk/booth in the west wing of the building as well. They offer 10 minute chair massages (and other lengths of time, incrementing in five minutes) at both locations, and also offer foot and table massages at their storefront. If you don't want to bother with making an appointment at one of the expensive massage therapy places in town, they are a great, hassle-free, affordable alternative if you've got a sore back or neck and aren't shy about other mall patrons seeing you treat yourself to a session. (Despite it being called a "Spa," it is not a locker room and sauna style facility and customers do not disrobe to any degree, except for possibly their shoes). The massage style is firm and generous, though it is in a different style than the therapy you receive from an LMT appointment in town. I've received many chair massages from various employees at Day Spa and have always left relaxed and energized. Though they may see if you're interested in one of their more expensive massages, there really is no "upselling" pressure and every one of them is friendly and hard-working. These are not masseuses with a battery of certificates and degrees like you will find at a massage therapy center, but they put their all into each customer and do just as good for me as the pricier places, plus their shorter times and walk-in availability suit my schedule and budget far better. If you've been curious but haven't tried a chair massage from them yet, I encourage you to do so, you'll probably wonder what took you so long!

I went here for a lash lift/tint. I had never had one before. Upon my arrival I heard a female yell…read morefrom the next room, 'I'll be right there.' There was a dirty bowl with dried food next to me on a desk. I stood there for what seemed like forever and she was finally ready for me. Told me to lay down on the table and she began the process. She did not explain one thing to me about what she was doing or how long it would take, and your eyes are closed the entire time. At one point she said 'I'm going to use the bathroom. Holler if you need me.' I didn't even know her name. After the procedure I asked questions about what exactly she did to my lashes. It was a very unpleasant experience and I will never go back.
