Class began a bit late but apologies were given. Woman owned business started by two best friends in a small home kitchen. The studio shares an entrance with a business called Thrive and is located on the second floor. Parking is horrible, just a heads up. Street parking is limited and fills up fast. Valet parking may be a better option but prices vary. This studio provides classes and today's option was a do it yourself facial. Everything was provided; three different charcoal based powders, use one or blend all. I chose matcha and charcoal. Three different liquid mixers; organic cherry juice, green tea and rice milk. Each having a different set of benefits for your skin. After mixing our choice of concoctions, we cleansed with 100% natural oils using our knuckles to stimulate lymphatic drainage and massage. Followed by a nice steam from a hot towel. Then began the application of our charcoal masks, sitting for ten to twelve minutes. Love the tightening and the tingles. This is a BYOB so as the masks are drying, we are happily sipping and enjoying each other's company. The final process was to hydrate the skin and jade roll it. Will definitely return. read more

After a long week of adulting, we decided to treat ourselves to the mask bar at scratch goods. It was exactly how a self-care Saturday should start. The space is beautifully decorated and inviting. I enjoyed that the host did not rush any of the steps and we were able to enjoy the company of each other while also pampering ourselves. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself and your loved ones to a special mask bar day date. read more

Scratch Goods - Skin Care Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Forgot to put this review in for Saturday morning facial class. Had an enjoyable experience. The ingredients felt good before and after. Facial itself was good but still too pricey for what you get. The class was packed. Customization was based on your knowledge of your skin. Products were pricey to take home. If you don't have a deep understanding of your facial needs...then I would skip. I would come back if they offered a special. This class should not be more than $45. The amount of ingredients and personal attention doesn't call for the price tag. read more

They had a half-off sale on mask bar and steam sessions, so I bought one if both so I could give that experience a try. I heard one if the staff tell someone they wouldn't begin the instruction any later than 12:15 (15 minutes after the start time)... wow really? I get that people are late, so 5-10 minutes maybe, but at what point does the time of the folks who arrived in time matter less than those who are a quarter hour late? I say this as a person who doesn't understand time and is perpetually late for things--I would never expect something like this to start so late just because I was running late or didn't plan well. Maybe good for folks who are having a social activity? I was alone (as was at least one other person) so that's not why I was here. Glad I put extra time on the meter and gave my partner a conservative time estimate when I left him with the baby. When you arrive you're escorted to your assigned spot. One of the employees comes by to give you a nonalcoholic drink menu, and drop off some water They have you complete an "intake form", which is their waiver of liability and warning that skin products behave differently for different people. It's fairly standard but what I hate (and this is increasing common, not at all unique to Scratch Goods) is that you are signing a "waiver" to let them post photos of you wherever they want. There is no option to opt out of this. I assume they have this on their site when you sign up; I wasn't actually too worried about it right now. But as someone who's had a stalker and didn't want that person to know where I was, I think about others in similar situations or who just don't want their image everywhere. Bummer. It's 12:10 and we're not yet starting. She started talking at 12:17. They have three liquids with which you can mix your mask: coffee (which they say helps with heightening), vera, and almond milk (I believe she said made in-house). You can mix and match your liquids and then add one of the mask powders depending upon what you're looking to achieve that day. I went for a "steam sesh" which is apparently a new thing that they do. About four and a half hours before my appointment (though I didn't see the email until maybe an hour before, since I don't check my email constantly), I got an email saying that they were going to have photographers there to take "content photos" for this new thing. They said they wouldn't put photos of you up without your permission... but then you're required to sign a consent form that you can't get past unless you allow that permission. And there was no option offered to move to a different date if you weren't comfortable with that. We began at 2:54, 24 minutes after the session was to begin. This drives me nuts because I have other responsibilities AND I'd only paid for an hour and 15 minutes parking. At the steam session, you have the option of choosing between a couple different botanical mixes. One is very floral, with hibiscus and ylang ylang, and other aromatic botanicals; the other is very very minty and also includes juniper. The experience itself was fine, but the rest of it soured the experience. And if that weren't enough, they're disorganized. I bought some things--including the baby oil that they sell, which they finally had back in stock. That was really exciting for me to find since I use it to give my baby a massage. I still had some at home that I'd bought elsewhere that I needed finish up with, so I didn't need the new bottle I purchased at my steam session right away. When I went to use the bottle I'd bought here, I found that instead it was some jasmine oil, NOT the baby oil I'd spent a ridiculous amount of money on. I didn't have any sort of receipt or anything so I just threw it out because it wasn't something I was going to use on my kid. I won't return here; it's just not worth it. As for the baby oil--which was a great product--I'm sure I can find something comparable from someone else. read more

I had a good time and my skin was looking and feeling Gorg after class. However, one hour for class felt a bit rushed and $65 was a bit much ($80 if you want to use an extra jade roller). We left with mask brushes as souvenirs. The oil cleanse and hot towels were my favorite part of the experience. BYOB and non-alcoholic bevs available for purchase. I think the website needs more FAQ about how to prepare for class and what to expect. The influencer reels/TikTok's were not informative enough. Should I wear makeup to class? What happens if I wear lashes? Will I need to bring a headband? Etc. Us anxious girlies need to know these things ahead of time. read more

My friends and I came here to pamper ourselves and learn more about natural organic skincare. One thing to note is this establishment allows you to bring in your own bottle of wine to partake in during the activity! Super cool stuff. We arrived and were seated together at a table for four. You're provide the mixing bowl and tools needed as soon as you arrive to your station. It's very interactive per the speaker guiding the class - so feel free to go with a group or solo and make friends! My favorite part of the class were the hot towels provided to allow the product to soak into the skin while also serving as a cleansing cloth. One critique I would offer is light music to play in the background during quiet moments of the session to really set the ambiance. The only reason I offer four stars rather than the full five is because of the price. I feel $65 is steep for you to pamper yourself and only go home with a brush. read more

I was gifted a facial session here for my birthday and it was such a cute gift!! The whole space is absolutely adorable. When you walk in you see the goods they sell which is a handful of different self-care items and the swings. There are paintings where the space features different artists and you can purchase the paintings as well so don't miss this! The whole experience was very zen and super fun to do with your friends or family. You are given directions on how to build your mask and you get to pick the type of mask that goes on your face based on your skin type/what you skin needs. Tip: Scratch Goods holds different events that you can find on their website! read more

Had a wekend pampering sesh with scratch goods mask bar Had the best time learning & diy-ing masks with my friend on a Saturday mask bar does small batch skincare with the first every diy mask bar such a fantastic weekend activity going through their cleansing oil, steaming, clay masks, face mists, face oils and butters, and gua sha I don't think I've ever learned about beauty routines properly so this was also a fast track to educate myself about each step of the way. This helped me add certain steps to my routine 1First started with every daze konjac - that my friend said is sold in Costco. The peach flavor was AMAZING And my friend swears by it. She'd say, "I swear my skin looks better the next day" 2Then the cleansing oil is really nice and creamy. They say this should be the longest process in your routine. 1 pump for normal wear i.e. sunscreened face, 2 pumps for if you have makeup 3The clay mask came next after a hot towel light steaming process. it helps with blood flow and gentle exfoliation.  You can mix from 3 liquid mixers cherry juice ( vitamins + antioxidents) , Coffee ( caffeine+brightening acids) or walnut milk ( pressed inhouse + Great oils ) You can also choose from 3 clays: Sea kelp ( minerals + sulfur that's calming), Matcha ( brightening + blood flow), charcoal (cleansing) 4I swear my skin felt really amazing the next day, especially because we spent 5min+ steaming our face with the masks and worked through their 6 different oils/butters depending on your skin: lash & brow oil, lavender mint "all over butter", Dark matter coffee eye butter, face oil, Heavy face oil (avocado oil), face butter 5I ended up buying a gua sha as well, as we learned about the 120+ lymph nodes we had our body and how it helps reduce puffiness and increase blood flow , moving the tool outwards and downwards (starting with the neck, then the chin on the rigid side) So nice! Book it with friends read more

I've been using the eye butter and face butter at night for the past two weeks and have already noticed a big difference. I wake up with my skin looking plumper, younger, and more hydrated. I live in a dry climate so these are a total game changer! I've received multiple compliments about my skin since using the products. Both butters smell nice and feel even better. I highly recommend! Looking forward to trying the charcoal mask next. read more

They gave a lot of good information about the different masks and products. The class was really fun and a great outing with friends.

I went here for the face mask making class! I wasn't expecting a whole skincare routine! The class started with cleansing, then the mask, then moisturizing and even gave us sunscreen. This whole experience was super fun and relaxing! The instructor was very knowledgeable and explained everything throughly. I really like how we were able to customize what type of mask we wanted to make. I definitely recommend this for a fun girls day treat! Before you leave you can stop by the shop and can buy the products used in the class! read more

Lovely and relaxing experience. We booked the private mask bar for our quarterly women's night, and the experience was wonderful. This isn't an inexpensive experience, 90 pp with booking fee and tip, but it was worth it. It's byob, so we had time at the beginning to socialize a bit and enjoy our drinks. Since we were coming from the office, it was super helpful that they had a small storage closet for us to store our bags and sweaters. The facial involves multiple steps (An oil cleanse, mask application, lash and brow treatment, moisturizing, and jade rolling) the host walks us through every step at a good pace slowing down to accommodate our chatting and slower group members. The host also took time to explain the benefits of each step. The vibe was cute and relaxing with lights strung up and everything setup and ready to go. I would definitely recommend this as a unique outing experience with your people! read more

I was initially introduced to the brand via an article that described their products as "food grade". Fast forward to maybe a couple of years later & I'm a loyal customer. I can't speak to all their products but I'd be comfortable in stating that their "tea tree cleansing oil" is the best face wash I've ever tied. EVER. The physical shop tends to move around however I've been told their permanent home will be ready soon. I've purchased a gift voucher for the mask class & the recipient told me that had a decent time there. I once had a "faulty" mask from here & after an email I was given a hefty store credit. Also after a brief conversation with the owner she assured me that I can reach out with any questions or concerns & also that she'd be willing to offer suggestions which are helpful because many products come with instructions on how to properly use them. read more

A wonderful small business to support! I heard about Scratch Goods through a charity auction and had the opportunity to get quite a few products. Overall, they all were great - some just weren't for me but it doesn't mean they were poor quality! We got two dryer balls which make an absolute world of a difference and are very reasonable price wise. The jade roller and nail brush are great quality and something I now use weekly. We got two scrubs, the lavender mint and the lemon charcoal. These seemed small when I got them but a little goes a very long way and the lemon charcoal smells so fresh and is my personal favorite. The deodorant stick smells very nice but for me personally it doesn't glide on the way I'd like it and the sweat protection isn't ideal. The body oil is a very nice smell but I have sensitive skin and it doesn't seem to react well with it but I'd definitely recommend it if you're looking for a subtle way to smell really nice. read more

The DIY Mask Bar is a super cute, unique way to spend some time with friends--perfect for a bachelorette party or girls night out. I went with my team from work and, while it was a bit challenging to book a time, everything else was smooth sailing. We arrived with our wine and prosecco (yes, they are BYOB) and were asked to remove our shoes, throw on some slippers (provided), and sit in one of the salon chairs. One of the employees then wrapped our hair in a towel turban (unfortunately, it kept falling off throughout the event--I wish they had ones that actually fastened with velcro or something) and placed a salon cape on you. Believe me, it's not a flattering look on anyone, but you get used to it. You're then taken to the back room and they have a super cute setup waiting for you--mini stations for each person in the group. The staff walks you through the steps of a full mini facial--complete with steam towels, face wash, eyelash and eyebrow serum and a custom mud mask. Every single product is made with all natural ingredients and considered 'food-grade' (though none of us cared to actually test that out). In the end, your skin is left feeling refreshed and glowing! We all felt like a million bucks even though we were all totally bare-faced. We splurged and also got the foot soaks but that didn't seem like anything special so I wouldn't recommend it. They were also kind enough to offer a discount on any products we purchased that day--I didn't take anything home but many of my teammates did. Overall, it's a super fun event and, if you're ever looking to try something a bit different and maybe find your new skin care routine, I highly recommend checking out Scratch Goods! read more

Wow! The 60-minute Mask Bar experience is incredible. The Fulton Market studio, which will relocate on May 20, is intimate, bright, and beautifully decorated with greenery. It's a spectacular space with all products made in-house. Everything is food-grade and pure, so there are no chemicals or dangerous ingredients in the products. Our mask bar was guided by Ashley, who was so fun and personable. When we arrived, she checked our coats and we stepped into some slippers. She directed us through each step of the process, from using tea tree oil to remove makeup, mixing mask powder with fresh pressed juices, mask application and steam towel removal, and applying face oil at the end. It's truly divine. As a bonus, you get to keep your application brush after the treatment! All products are for sale, so you can take home anything that you enjoyed. I purchased the jade roller and tea tree oil to bring home with me. Get your $38 tickets on the scratchgoods.com website; you can follow them on Instagram (@scratchgoods) to get updates on availability and enjoy their impressively curated stories. I highly recommend this for a birthday party, bachelorette party, or self care day! It was a wonderful experience and my skin feels nourished and healthy. read more

yaaaaaaaaas! I'm going all in with natural beauty products and Scratch Goods is the place to go, not only are all their ingredients clean/natural, they're all made here in CHICAGO! A few friends and i did the smoothie mask bar on a Sunday morning, it was super easy to find parking/ it wasnt crowded yet due to it being 9am. We were able to hang out, drink water/coffee/tea beforehand. The actual mask bar was great, everything was spelled out for us and was very informative. We cleansed, prepped and made our own mask. I was questioned by my sister/cousin on why i would want to spend so much money on making my own mask and then putting it on myself. Well i wanted to TRY all their products before diving head first! I think the mask bar is a great way to try before you buy! We used most of the products they sell! Afterwards my face was clean and hydrated, i loooooved it! I would definitely go back to try any other events they hold (like gua sha!!) their space is so inviting and calming. As i use up my current beauty products, i plan on incorporating them into my routine as well! read more

5 stars all around! #SelfcareSunday is my motto so this was self care personified. I decided to come here to celebrate my birthday with my sister and friends and we all had an amazing experience. I practically broke the bank because I wanted to buy everything, I literally felt like a new woman. I've decided that I have to fit this into my routine and come quarterly. You must be sure to book early because classes fill up fast, the products are pricey but worth the investment. Can you put a price tag on beauty? read more

I found out about Scratch Goods when shopping one day at Wolfbait in Logan Square. I bought their soap and loved it! It made my skin feel soft and it came in a cute package. What can I say, I'm a sucker for presentation! When I found out they were opening a store I was ecstatic. The atmosphere of the store is very modern and chic. It is located in a nice area as well. I can't wait to try some more of their products, but I know I will fall in love with them. I highly recommend this place if you want nice Chicago made, quality products. read more

I like the spa experience. The space is very instagramable and the atmosphere can be an entertaining experience. Unfortunatley, I am really disappointed in the products and the marketing of said products. The scrubs and soaps are really overpriced and expire way to soon. Preservatives are not all bad. I understand natural is trendy and a hot commodity but repurposing epsom salt and sugar and placing them in black jars to sell them as high end scrubs and soaks for an exorbitant amount of money is ridiculous. Plus spreading false information that big brand deodorant causes cancer to sell scratch goods deodorant is extremely unethical. I would rate this place higher if they stopped the fear mongering to sell their subpar goods. read more

LOVE this DIY facial mask bar. I know what your saying DIY?!?! It was such a great experience and there is someone there to help you every step of the way. It's such a fun girls night experience. I love that the ingredients they use are truly natural and not products masking as natural. You know the products that say natural but then they use ingredients with like 15 letters in the name. Lol. Me and a couple friends went here and got the works done...facial, hand mask, and foot soap. It was fun mixing our own masks and learning how to apply (motion upwards and not down...gotta remember that). My face was glowing when I removed the mask and my hands and feet were soooo soft. Using these products will have you not even feeling the need for makeup at all. I'm in LOVE with their soaps and body butters. Definitely give this place a try! Your skin will thank you. :) read more

I went here for the mask bar class with two of my friends and we all loved it! So fun for a girls day out!

they seriously changed my perspective on skincare. going natural and as close as raw materials is the best way to go. I am so excited they have a FACE MASK BAR opening up soon!!! Theres the open to have a group of girlfriends come or just a small group of 3 girlfriends. They are so knowledgeable about skincare. They offer a variety of products. I currently have their peppermint lip butter, their body cream butter (which can also be used on your lips!), the dark matter and lavender body scrub and also the night oil. Very reasonably priced but what i love the most about this is the fact that its very great for my skin. As i get older my skin doesnt react the same to products i used and over the counter products just doesn't do it. My new new new skincare spot for sure! read more

Went to the mask bar today and had such a great time! Honestly so much fun for a girls day or to celebrate something. It was so relaxing and really fun to mix everything yourself.

Stop what you're doing, and book yourself a Signature Experience. STAT. I'm serious. I've never been one for pampering or facials, but this experience is like none other. You get to choose from a variety of fresh, preservative-and-other-poison-free scrubs, masks and oils, and sit back for the most relaxing, rejuvenation experience of your life. I'm talking foot soak and scrub, hand and arm scrub and massage, face massage and mask, cucumbers on the eyes, EVERYTHING! AND my fiancé loves it just as much as me! I think that says something. He and I use their soap at home, exclusively. Their body oils, butters, and scrubs are to die for, too. And they collaborate with tons of other Chicago makers, too, which is really cool. I'm sold. I think you will be, too. read more

Walked in to check out their products on a Sunday and met Maureen, one of the co-owners. Ended up getting the sea kelp mask with carrot juice and honey to moisturize and brighten in this cold Chicago winter!
