I'm extremely disappointed with how Emmanuel handled my membership issue and spoke to me. I had…read moregone out of my way to check with a team member ahead of time to confirm that my membership renewal and credits were in order, and I was clearly told everything was fine. On the day of my appointment, I was told the complete opposite and that my membership couldn't be honored, possibly due to a system error. When I escalated the issue to Emmanuel, he simply stated he has "45 employees under him" and cannot be responsible for what his staff tells customers. As a result, I was given an ultimatum to either cancel my appointment or pay full price, despite having confirmed everything in advance. This level of miscommunication and lack of accountability is incredibly frustrating. Customers should be able to rely on what they're told, especially when they take the extra step to double check ahead of time.

I surprised my mom with a visit to the Brazilian Lymphatic Spa in Chicago for a 90-minute Brazilian…read morelymphatic birthday massage and she shared her experience as follows, " I didn't know what to expect as I had never had one, but I was pleasantly surprised! After a brief tour of the spa, I was introduced to my massage therapist, Gita, who welcomed me very pleasantly. She took me into the room and explained that the technique is designed to stimulate the lymphatic system to help my body flush out excess fluids and toxins. She was extremely knowledgeable and eased any uncertainties I had at the beginning. I'm more accustomed to deep tissue massages, and the pressure of this is much lighter and more soothing. The actual massage felt amazing! I started in a face-up position, and Gita used a body brush first with lots of long strokes, especially around my stomach, legs, arms, and back. Each time she finished brushing a body part, she followed that up with adding lotion and doing the same motions with her hands only. It was very relaxing and almost put me to sleep a few times! The foot massage was wonderful also! She then moved to my face where she gave me a mini-facial using aromatherapy, a cleanser, hot towel & moisturizer. She used two different instruments on my face...a warm one and then a cold one, and both were refreshing. She finished off with a facial mist. She also used her stroke technique on my collar bone and towards my armpits which she said had lots of lymph nodes. After that, I flipped to a face-down position, where she did the same brush strokes and lotion on the back of my body. I really liked when she worked on my upper back, because the brush and then lotion strokes felt really good; next, she put a hot towel on my back, which felt like it melted any remaining tensions away! When my time was up, I felt completely relaxed but with more energy! Gita told me to make sure I stay hydrated to help with the lymphatic drainage. My digestive system seemed to be really happy these last few days, because everything's moving pretty fast! I would definitely try this again when in the city, and I would definite ask for Gita...she was so warm and professional!"

I've also tried the other location in River North, and even though that one is closer to me, I didn't have as good of an experience with the massage therapists and opt to come to this one instead. Receptionists are always very friendly as well and I like the warm Apple cider they always have while I'm waiting. Not the fanciest spa experience but gets the job done.

With all the other spas in the city to choose from. Umm sorry-- you want to reschedule after we were already here, on time! What an asshole! So no, we won't be wasting any more time with you, We have plans today.. the plan was to visit you at 10 am, be done at 11 and carry on our day, I don't have time to waste my life all day walking to your business, hoping you might show up to work today. I'm really pissed off you messed up our whole schedule, not to mention waste of time walking all the way here. You are a terrible business. Wasted my time and energy!!!! Seriously horrible! One more thing... if you were going to be late, or cancel or needed to postpone to 11... BE A PROFFESSIONAL, and CALL ME before I trekked all that way out to see you... some people can't be walking blocks and blocks to experience a massage and then the masseuse doesn't show up.
