I did not know that there was a spa behind Shake Shack in Deerfield. Although there is a large parking lot, it was mostly full. I went to get a Dazzle Dry french manicure. As I have had many DD manis this year, I know that the polish is supposed to have two coats, and then the top coat. My manicurist put the tip color first, then one coat only of the polish. It looked nice, but it was just a day later than most of it began chipping. read more

I have been going to Renu for over 20 years. I love the expertise of all of the providers. Ania is my go to for facials and all things brows. She makes my skin glow. When it comes to nails, Elwira is a wizard ! the rubber OPI has made my nails stronger and more beautiful then ever. They are so easy and not hard on my nails. I wouldn't go anywhere else- read more

Always the best experience when I have a pedicure appointment with Magda!!! She always takes the time to make me feel special and pampered! My pedicures with Magda always relax me and she spends so much time on my dry heels, to make them sandal ready!!! Love every appointment with Magda!! read more

I always get quality service at Renu. I usually see Gina for waxing and eyebrows. Today was over the top. I recently had knee surgery which makes it difficult to bend my knee. Everyone I encountered at Renu today couldn't have been more caring and helpful. Gina for a facial, waxing and brow tint. Anaya for manicure. Beata for pedicure. The receptionist. Others. I like doing business with people like these, who are not only excellent at what they do but who are kind. Thank you. read more

I had a waxing here the woman was great and was professional and caring definitely will be back

Terrible experience. They list the length of the pedicures on their website and both times we've been there recently they start late and end early. It's clearly changed owners as it's been much better in the past The receptionists are rude and act like they are doing you a favor. I do not recommend. read more

Elwira at Renu is amazing! She specializes in the rubber base gel manicure. My nails have never been this healthy and looked so good!

The staff is friendly and professional. I've had multiple services and always been pleased with the results and pricing.

Best massage I've ever had! Outstanding! Can hardly wait to go back, my masseuse was great!

I highly recommend Elwira at Renu. She has performed a miracle with my nails by recommending the Rubber Base Gel manicure. She is the best!

I have been coming to Renu Day Spa for about two years. When I found Magda for a mani/pedicure, my search for a nail salon was over. She not only is professional and gifted at what she does, she is also so pleasant and personable. The one hour goes by too fast and occasionally I spurge for the reflexology pedicure because she is so good and it is such a relaxing treat for your feet. The whole staff is friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Renu Day Spa! read more

The three stars is because I've had mixed experiences at Renu. I've been a skin care client for many years, driving from the NW burbs to Deerfield for quarterly facials. Recently I moved closer to Renu and tried them as my new nail place. After two pedicures and four manicures I have decided to continue my search for a new nail salon. While pricing for facials seems reasonable the pricing for manicures and pedicures seems expensive. A basic manicure and pedicure costs $67 before the tip. While the facials use top of the line products, the nail techs use products from Sally Beauty Supply. They get the job done but they don't support the high prices. In addition, the nail care is not environmentally friendly. Renu uses disposable tools instead of putting reusable tools in an autoclave. Clients have the option of taking the tools used on them home, but let's be honest...if you don't do your own nails at home, how many foot files or nail buffers does one person need to collect. Lastly, my decision to look for a different nail salon is due to the front desk. The woman at the desk is rude and has an attitude week after week. I think she is a family member of the owners. If I'm going to spend $67+ for a manicure and pedicure in addition to $20 weekly manicures I want to be greeted by a happy, polite person who adds to the relaxing experience not detracts from it. Bottom line: Go for an occasional facial, but go somewhere else for weekly services. read more

I've had multiple wax appointments here and a massage and I can say with confidence that this is a great spa. The staff are friendly and efficient and there are always a lot of different appointments happening so I can tell other people have good experiences there too. Celena does my waxes and she is the best! read more

Came here for a manicure exactly one week after the French manicure from hell (this was a manicure does elsewhere...not at Renu) started chipping on me after 3 days while I was on vacation. Krystyna did a great job on my nails, which I picked a dark purple Dazzle Dry color. They really strive for a clean and sanitary environment here. Tools are kept in an autoclave and all buffers, sticks, emery boards, etc. are either yours to keep or tossed at the end. I also like how there is never any skin-to-skin contact between you and the nail technician. The nail techs all wear latex gloves and lotions are applied through plastic gloves that your fingers poke through. I mean, you do pay a bit more here than your standard strip mall nail salon (my Dazzle Dry manicure was $24.00), but the environment is very nice and having pleasant staff that aren't screaming at each other in a foreign language and knowing the tools haven't been used on a hundred other people makes it a small price to pay. Based on how my nails look now, I would come back here. Let's hope that I'm still pleased several days ahead. ;) read more

Angela did my organic facial and she was AMAZING! She altered the facial to meet my skin needs and it was so relaxing too! She gets a 10/10. I am excited to see her next month for a hydra facial which is her recommendation for my skin. The actual place is outdated. And strong smells of chemical nail polish. They don't accept credit tip (which is fine) but with COVID and the way other salons accept quick pay in Venmo it's disappointing they don't offer that. Very ancient times I think this place would do well with some updates. read more

I had only been to Renu 2 or 3 times and it has been a while. My aunt, mom and sister have gone their recently so I thought hmm why not try and make a last minute appointment. They got me in and it was so easy to book. The salon is quiet and on the smaller side. The lady at the front desk was friendly and welcoming. That's a big deal to me. I had a facial today with Celina. It was perfect. She was perfect. Kind, friendly, genuine, and knew exactly what she was doing. It was very peaceful and my brain had finally stopped. No other thoughts were going through my head but how relaxed I was. Not a care in the world. These days I find more and more people being rude, or unhappy with there job, or life etc, that when you come across someone so kind you have to let them know. I appreciated it so much. I highly recommend Celina for your facial and waxing needs. She even massaged my feet and hands. Thank you for a great experience! read more

Very disappointed with my waxing services. Literally one week later I am covered in stubble and ingrown hairs, meaning the technique was very sloppy. My skin was never cleansed before waxing, so I have acne all over my eyebrows, and pretty much everywhere else I have very deep and painful ingrown hairs. I have been waxing myself for many years and have never experienced something like this. I am extremely careful with both before and aftercare for waxing, and follow it to a T, so this definitely should not have happened. Many of the hairs were also just broken, rather than pulled out. My skin was also lifted (if you're not sure what that means, it means it was literally ripped off) on my elbow and forearms. I have had many other wonderful services at renu, but I will not come back for waxing, or if I do, definitely not with the same technician. read more

Love Celina for brows and facial and Barbara for massage! I have had nothing but great experiences at Renu and would highly recommend.

If I could give 0 stars I would. I went in for a bikini wax (I've had probably 100+ over the years). The waxer left me with a large bruise/blood blister. So unacceptable and disappointing!!! AVOID read more

Renu Day Spa - Day Spas Near Me - Deerfield, Illinois

We all go to spas for different reason: stress relief, working out kinks in sore spots, making our faces look and feel younger, but I never thought of it as a spiritual experience. The Shirodhara service is transformative. It is relaxing and created a spiritual connection between you and the universe. Try something outside the box and be forever changed. The spa is clean, friendly, and professional. Simply put, a do not miss! read more

I loved my experience with Aimee. She is extremely kind and quick. She made me feel so comfortable and like we were old friemds. I'd definitely be going back! read more

Over the years I've been going to Renu for a variety of services with mixed results. I was hoping that under new management there would be greater consistency with pleasing results. I went for a manicure and, first of all, I found the technician to be rather aloof, and, second of all, my manicure lasted less than a week. I would hope that the technician would remember that this is still a service industry and I would like to be treated in a friendly and kind manner. More importantly, however, is that the manicure lasted only about 4 days before the tips of my nails started breaking and the polish was chipping off *update- I did go back for a Dazzle manicure done by Maggie. In my opinion, she was friendlier and the manicure was better than the 1st one. It's been 48 hours and holding, still looks good, no chipping, peeling, or anything else. read more

I have one word for you. Agnes. I've had a lot of massages in a lot of amazing spas all over the world, and Agnes is definitely a contender for one of the best massage therapists ever. She's very intuitive, and was able to navigate all my sports injuries with ease. Was there in January, pre-Covid, of course, so this review is rather late, but I'm looking forward to getting another massage with her the next time I'm in the Chicago area. read more

Very Nice warm atmosphere. One of the best massages I've ever had by Barbara at Renu. Nice atmosphere with lots of different services offered. read more

I have been coming to Renu for over 20 years. Highly recommend Ania for eyebrow shaping and tinting. I won't go to anyone else! She's an absolute sweetheart and makes my brows look so amazing, I can't say enough about her. The staff and services at Renu are great all around. The environment itself is a little dated and cluttered, but if you look past that you'll be more than pleased!! Seriously though - go see Ania for your brows! read more

I got the "In The Zone", which is a facial and massage. It was lovely. The place was clean. The stuff was friendly and helpful. I recommend Renu. read more

Barbara gives an excellent massage- the wonderful owner could not have been nicer! A hidden gem!

Do you want to be pampered like the princess that you are? Then make the drive to Renu! This is my most favorite spa in ALL of Chicagoland, and believe me I have "spa-mpled" many. You will be treated like you are the most precious thing ever to walk the earth. The ladies take pampering to a whole new level! People who are close to me know this is THE best thing to get me for my birthday, Mom's day, anniversary,etc. Top of the line products, the most professional estheticians, nail techs, massage therapists and owner. Speaking of the owner, "Anna" started this spa in a little house down the road and had to expand to this space after gaining a loyal (including myself) following. Very smart business woman. Pristine, clean and relaxing facility. Look for their monthly specials on their website. I just had a body-scrub and spay tan for $55. I was going on vacation and wanted to get rid of my winter-whites without the threat of Melanoma. Fantastic job...no streaks, no oompa-loompa orangey-ness, and has lasted for over a week now. "Kathy" did my spray tan and I added a facial (of course)...can I tell you how absolutely fabulous I felt leaving there?! Pure bliss. read more

Good neighborhood place. They always make guests feel welcome. Prices might be a few dollars above average, but I've found that the services and employees are always above-board. My only dislike about the place is the owner - who I won't name. She's a wonderful business woman, and it's true the place probably wouldn't be the success that it is without her running a such a tight ship. However, truth be told, she has been known to drive away some of her best employees because of her demands. I've heard time & time again it's not the best place to work - but from a client standpoint, the place is great and I will never go to another local spa. read more

My husband and I have been living in the Highland Park area for two years before I found the courage to stop driving 45 minutes to visit my previous spa service establishment. Yeah, I know. Break ups are hard to do. So, I finally decided to take the risk and try Renu Day Spa. I have been there a few times now. I think I have found my new place. Marianne is the best esthetician. She is very sweet and friendly. However, she also gets the job done for a wax. My first visit there I have a mani and pedi as well from 2 different people. I thought that was odd, but I don't usually treat myself to mani and pedi so I don't know. I definitely enjoyed the mani more. It was more comfortable and worth the cost. The pedi was in this separate room with these super small portable tubs. I was suppose to get the athletes pedi with a nice massage. Not much of a massage- more of a caress. Bummer. The reception area is quite eclectic and overwhelming but the rest of the spa is homey. It's an old house that has been fitted to a spa. The prices are decent. The don't accept credit cards for tips so make sure you have cash ready. Gotta make an appointment to go see Marianne! read more

Love this local spa! For anyone looking for an AMAZING brow specialist, I highly recommend Ania! She gives me those wow-brows that I get a million compliments on after. No one else compares! She does all other skin treatments too. 10/10 best in the area! read more

I have been coming to Renu for a year and a half now. I have been to a few of the girls, but Ania is the reason I gave them 5 stars. Ania is kind, professional, patient, and so good at what she does! Best esthetician I have ever been to! read more

Update: Wow. The owner called me personally and apologized for this woman's behavior. Explained the situation and now I feel 100% that is a 5 star place. Unfortunately, some staff can make or break your business and he is fully aware of the weak link at his establishment. Jack, thank you for the honest phone call. We really appreciate you taking the time to call and apologize. We will give this place another try in the near future! -------- If the owner is reading this, I highly suggest you train or fire the older blonde lady with shorter hair that works at the front desk. She was super rude, was obviously only concerned with when the place was closing and not the customers. My husband and I went in for a couples massage and were not told ahead of time that tips could only be paid in cash. When I mentioned that she says "it happens and we close at 5 so..." (Our massage ended at 445). We liked the 2 ladies we had for our massage. They were very friendly and the only reason I have this 2 stars. Once finished, my husband goes to run to the bank next door and get cash while I pay. The lady looks right at me and claims "they didn't pay!" Obviously she paid no attention to me an hour before or she would have realized I was his wife. I said "I'm right here, I am paying". No apology just more rude bahavior. Definitely will never go back to this "high end spa". Suggest taking your business elsewhere unless you enjoy being treated like you're at Walmart. read more

I have been coming to this spa for a few years now and always have a great experience. I go there for massages, manicures/pedicures and facials and always come out feeling great! The only negative comment would be regarding the owner. I have heard her yelling at her staff when she didn't know I could hear. I have also heard stories from others that she constantly yells and them and tells them that we (the clients) only come there for HER and not for the technician and if they ever leave, that we (the clients) would never follow them. She tells her technicians if they don't like it then they can leave. How is that an appropriate way to treat your employees that make you plenty of money?? And she never commeds them for doing a good job and/or keeping the clientele happy. In fact, I heard it's so bad that one employee spoke with a lawyer about the way she treats them, and the owner ended up firing her immediately. If my favorite technicians left, I would definitly follow them to wherever they went, as they are the ones who keep me coming back. read more

Received a birthday gift card for this place. Their prenatal massage was great! The place was super Cute! I Will definitely be back

Really nice clean spa.Alex (my massage therapist) was really nice and professional, she really listened to what I had to say and I felt great after. Thank you! read more

I just had my first service here - a swedish massage - and thought it was terrific. I was particularly tense and asked for deeper pressure and more attention to my upper back and shoulder area. Isabela (my therapist) did a great job finding the knots and working them out. Her pressure was just as I asked - deep - and I appreciated that. The room was clean, the appointment was held on time, and I was not short-changed on the full 55-minutes of the massage. I'll be back. read more

Love this place! Clean They use new files on each customer! Not just sanitized! No fungus spread here my friends!!! It's worth the extra dough! read more

I agree with the reviews singing Sylwia's praises. I had a wax with her and she did a fabulous job. She made me feel comfortable and the pain was minimal. It was fast and she did a great job. She was very professional and easy to talk to which made the time fly by. I will def return to her for any waxing needs. Im happy I read the reviews on yelp and found her! Thank you read more

This was where I got my first french manicure and I always compare other salons to this place. Although its expensive, i've always gotten a perfect french manicure no matter who did my nails. This salon was the place to go whenever a big event came up, from homecoming, to prom, to weddings. Not only does the manicure look perfect, it lasts for a long time too and after you walk out of the salon, the polish is dry enough to do your everyday work, probably because of those dryers they have. They treat you with kindness and respect and offer refreshments. I've even had a situation where I had a broken nail and they made my french manicure look as if my nails were fine! I highly recommend this place for manicures and pedicures! read more
