I elected a full body deep tissue massage. Miss. Janice was my masseuse. She was very thorough in her evaluation prior to starting the massage and inquired as she began to make sure she was meeting my needs. She even gave suggestions of what I could do to release the shoulder tension, in the future. Overall, the experience was a 10/10, due to her attentiveness and kindness! the massage was heavenly and I highly recommend Miss. Janice if you're looking for a wonderful experience!!

Tierra was very professional, but also very friendly and made me feel comfortable. The 1st time with a new stylist can be a little anxious. Tierra was very intuitive about what I wanted, happy to see Pinterest examples to make sure we were talking about the same look, and she was honest about what could or could not be done with the length, texture, condition of my hair. The entire process was very easy, comfortable, and professional. I highly recommend the spa, and Tierra, and I will surely be back! Better signage would be helpful when you first step off the elevator, in order to find the spa more easily would be my only critique.

We had our bachelorette party at Palmer Spa House, and overall, we had a really nice experience…read more The girls especially loved the massages and facials. The ambiance is very chill and relaxing, and having a private room for our group was a nice touch. I'm giving 4 stars mainly because of a couple of small things. We were supposed to receive two bottles of champagne as part of our experience, but only one was brought out. We had to ask about the second one, and at first they actually refused to give it to us because it was already toward the end of the evening. I understand that we were finishing up, but we were supposed to receive both bottles as part of the experience in the first place. The other thing is that the pool and sauna are on the 8th floor, while the spa services are on the 5th floor. It's not a huge deal, but it would be much more convenient if everything were on the same floor. That said, we still had a great time and the overall atmosphere was lovely. I would definitely recommend it for a girls' day, bachelorette party, or just a relaxing spa day.

After traveling back to back for several weeks, my skin was unhappy so I decided to get a facial. I…read morewas grateful when I called at 5ish pm they were able to get me in at 7! Probably just had the good luck because it was a Tuesday, but it was all meant to be. :O) The other reviews are correct, the spa isn't a huge spa like some hotels may have with big waiting rooms and jacuzzis, steam rooms, etc. I like those spots the best too! But all I wanted was a good facial in a convenient spot. Belinda was awesome! She customized the facial for my needs and put hot towels on my feet and gave me a neck and arm massage. I needed extractions, and I loved the extraction serum and tool-less extractions she did. From the very first products she put on my skin, I could already tell my skin was starting to breathe again. $135 is expensive, they probably have a lot of overhead from the hotel and it being right downtown Chicago, so all that considered and the amazing service and quality of the facial I am happy. Now I am going to unwind for the rest of my evening at the hotel.

I went to the spa location at the Hyatt Lodge in Oakbrook a nice little weekend stay cation with my…read morefamily. I booked along with a family friend a pedicure way above average pricing so the assumption being there would be more additional amenities than what would be offered at a typical nail salon. Upon arrival, found there was only 1 nail technician working so we sat and talked while the other was receiving the pedicure. I went last and the set up albeit clean was a regular set up, nothing yet warranting the $$$ price tag. After the basic pedicure was done we had to leave and the technician asked if I'd be able to stay longer to let the nails dry, when I asked if she had quick dry spray or a fan she said no. How does a pedicure cost $$$ and there are no additional measures to ensure the customer leaves with dry feet. We had dinner reservations so had to leave and was careful, however 30 minutes after leaving my toddler accidentally stepped on and smudged my big toe. When I contacted the salon to try and redo just the one singular toe the next day they said they wouldn't be able to, when I explained it was just 1 toe and would just need a polish correction they still would not accommodate. The technician was nice so please understand the low rating is purely on the business, their lack of accommodation, accountability and accessible materials to ensure that their services are completely dry before one leaves.

The venue is located on the 7th floor inside the mall (not 6th as Yelp suggested) Requested for a strong male therapist and my therapist was pretty strong.

I walked in and asked for the combo. There are multiple tables in one big, clean room. I was pointed to a table and put my things in a plastic container. The language barrier is very strong, but the people were very nice, and the services great. They covered my eyes and wrapped one of my feet with a heating element (it was a bit too hot and made my big toe so uncomfortable I was distracted for the other foot's massage). Also, there were two mall speakers just outside the door blaring different songs -- the auditory conflict was pretty bad and hard to get over. Foot massage was good! I was then led to a table for the body massage (still in the big room, so all your clothes stay on). I had gone in because my body was extremely stiff from a workout and a long plane ride. This woman worked me OVER! She was NOT effing around. She asked me multiple times if the pressure was okay, so if this is not for you, there's other levels. My massage was 60% not enjoyable but I knew it was going to be worth it. She fixed my stiff body in just 20 min! I will definitely be back, particularly when I'm post-flight!

I got a groupon for a deep tissue massage as my shoulders, neck, and back had been bothering me…read moresince the holidays. This was one of the closer options to me since I don't drive, and I was worried this was going to be a mediocre massage since it didn't cost a lot. This was actually one of the best massages I've had since shopping for them on groupon. Laura was so nice and she had wonderful pressure as well as identifying where the tension was. She used a machine first for my shoulders and back to relieve and warm up my body for about 20 to 25 minutes, then she started rubbing the knots out and it hurt so good. The conversation we were having kept me distracted from how sore my body was. She also noticed that the amount of tension on my shoulders resulted in a slight misalignment in my neck. She got most of my knots out and rubbed the rest of my body for a bit. I appreciated it so much as her husband was kind enough to also adjust my neck and back for me. An absolutely wonderful experience where I will be recommending my family and friends as well.

I was gifted a groupon to Healing Hands and had a disappointing and somewhat nerve-wracking…read moreexperience. First of all, the scheduling system and office both seem to need some tuning up. I made the appointment and was told I would receive an email confirmation....I received 5 (somewhat annoying). I was also asked to fill out a survey beforehand but the link did not work. When I went in for my appointment I was not asked to fill anything out. Strange. The office does not look very professional. The massage table had a drab, wrinkled sheet placed over it and I wondered if it was used by the person before me. I don't even think it was a sheet (maybe just a piece of fabric - as I don't remember seeing seams. The nerve-wracking/scary part of my experience began as I came into the building. The office is in an apartment building at the end of a hallway on the 4th floor. I had the last appointment of the day and was surprised to find the halls dim and quiet (no one around) and no receptionist at the desk. The therapist was finishing with another client and when she left I looked around expecting to see someone else. I was alone in the big, quiet building with a 50-something year old man dressed in black. Besides being creeped out that is also unprofessional, especially when a male is treating female clients. You should always have someone else around for the clients safety and comfort and therapists (so they don't get accused of anything). Since the groupon was a gift I hadn't looked into the clinic, but soon realized it was a chiropractic clinic. The groupon was for a swedish massage but the therapist did a lot of just stretching my arms and legs (which I didn't really care for and couldn't relax because of the atmosphere - being alone and the bright room). He also was cracking my fingers and toes with is painful and creeps me out, but he stopped when I asked. The massage was very mediocre and I honestly didn't feel much different after leaving. When I was leaving, the therapist asked me to fill out a survey on the computer. Again, this seemed unprofessional and he was standing right there so I felt pressure to write a good review. :( Overall, it wasn't a very good experience and I was happy to get out of there.

Something Special On Christmas Day Merry…read moreChristmas I stayed at The St. Regis Hotel during the Christmas holidays, and on Christmas Day I had a reservation at the St. Regis Spa for a pedicure. The experience was truly lovely and relaxing. As soon as I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by the staff. The waiting area was calm, elegant, and very comfortable, which immediately set a soothing mood. Ivy came to escort me for my pedicure and explained the entire process very clearly. She helped me settle comfortably into the chair and made sure I felt relaxed throughout the service. Ivy is very sweet, polite, and professional. She paid great attention to detail and did her job beautifully. The staff also offered me coffee or water, which was a thoughtful touch and added to the overall comfort. I asked Ivy to help me choose a good nail color, and she guided me patiently until we found the perfect shade. I really appreciated her suggestions. To make the day even more special, the spa surprised me with a Christmas gift, which truly made me feel the holiday spirit and wished. Overall, the service was excellent, warm, and memorable. I genuinely enjoyed my time at the St. Regis Spa and would highly recommend it for a relaxing and luxurious experience.

I've had massages from chain massage places like Massage Envy all the way up to $1,000 spa packages and the quality of this massage is top rank. This isn't your full service spa with a relaxation room, steam rooms, slippers, robes, and other amenities, but if you are looking for a less-expensive but fantastic massage in a well-decorated but quaint atmosphere, then this is your place! I cross-checked all the massage Groupon offerings with Yelp, and this place was the clear winner. Although it doesn't have a ton of reviews, all of them are glowing - and for good reason! They sometimes have two massage therapists in the office, but I think that was just Thursdays at the time we were booking. Therefore, if you are two people you might have to take the massages in sequence, but it's worth the wait! There's a groupon for $49 for a 60 minute massage. I think if you call and ask they will honor the groupon price without having to purchase it. I highly recommend Maria and Lotus Touch to anyone!
