Y'all! I had to come out of "Yelp posting" retirement to leave this review…read more.. When I tell you that I have been to spas, and med spas all over the world (Europe, Asia, Africa) and United States, and spas in your favorite five star hotels...and when I tell you that everyone who knows me knows that I am beyond super picky, and rarely ever impressed... Wait! Let me back up. I was on Yelp the other day searching for places that offered the Oxygeneo facial...This place was the only one that came up...The review I read was bad, the poster was complaining about her card being overcharged, (come to find out that it was only by $5 whole dollars! I thought it was hundreds of dollars the way she was carrying on SMH)...but somewhere in that review she said that she was very pleased with the actual service she received...Once I saw that part, I decided that I was gonna go ahead and book it- because again, I didn't see anyone else offering it and I want to see if it was really better than the Hydra facial (Spoiler alert: It is!) I researched this treatment before I set out to make my appointment, so I was expecting it to be upwards of $300, and was ready to pay that...New Year, new me, who dis?! Skin bout to be on fleek! Lol I was super geeked when I found out that they were running a special for January and the treatment would only be $99!!! Seriously, stop reading this post and go book an appointment right now!! Sometimes when you get a discounted anything the (discounted) value seems to be equally reflected in whatever you got... When I tell you that I was completely blown away by the whole experience from start to finish, this IS the best facial I've ever gotten. This is the best spa experience I've ever had. The session was so good and thorough. It was not rushed at all, and I believe every single inch of my face was tended to today! The therapist had such a soft touch massaging my décolleté and hands! I could literally feel STRESS leaving my body. It was rising out of me, going straight toward the ceiling in the room. She absolutely has healing hands.The facial/session was so good I promise you I could barely lift myself up to get off the bed once it was over... But this is the most important piece of this post: I had my session with Monika...So make sure and double check that when you go in that you book it with her. This review is way too long, but I feel it's warranted. I'm very critical and discriminating when it comes to doing anything and especially spending money-I never consider the cost if I believe something to be WORTH it...this was worth every penny, and definitely more. Monika's gonna be gone for the next 4 weeks, and the $99 special is over on the 31st... I guess I got lucky 2x...but I made sure to get on the books for when she comes back. I'm gonna try the 3 series fractional lasers, so will come back to update this review. In conclusion, you can't pay for a first hand account, word of mouth review like this. I wish I knew SEO so I could send traffic to this place! I wish I was an influencer so that I could let all my millions of instagram followers know about this place. I'm shook!!! If you stayed with me this long, finally, a call to action: If you are looking for a place to get some treatments done I can not recommend this place enough. I have been to some of the best (top rated) med spas that Chicago has to offer...NONE of them compare to the level of customer service and experience as a whole that I received here. I don't know if today was a one off, or if this is how it always is at this med spa, but don't take my word for it, go see for yourself!

If I could give them 10 stars I would. This is my first time ever receiving Botox or any sort of…read moreinjectables in my face and I was blown away with how well I was treated by everyone there. Kellie did my Botox and she was just incredible! She walked me through everything, spent so much time explaining what everything was, what it would do, how it would feel, how long for results, cost etc. And she was soooooo honest and didn't try to over sell me on anything. I went in there with a totally different idea of what I thought I needed done. she took one look at me and told me, that I honestly had great eyes and great cheek bones and that my face was very symmetrical and that I truly didn't need all these things I thought I did. She in fact suggested a cheaper idea of Botox in areas around my face that she thought would help with areas I was complaining about and give me a very youthful and feminine look. She even brought in Dr. Cheung for a second opinion, which she agreed with, just to help me see that there are so many other affordable options that can give you the results you want. I cannot say enough how much I just appreciated the honesty from them and the fact that they wanted me to look and feel my best and didn't try to oversell me on expensive stuff just to make a profit. They truly care about their clients! I am so excited for my results (said it would take two weeks to see the results) and for my follow up appointment. This is the place I will be going to from now on. Wonderful people, excellent customer service!!!! UPDATE: I am about one week in from Botox in my forehead, crows feet, upper lip for a small lip flip and then jawline (I have TMJ and this will help with my teeth grinding, headaches and slim my face down since I am puffy due to the inflammation)... let me just say every day I am seeing more and more results! I look fabulous! I saw my friends over the weekend and instantly they could see the difference and how much confidence I gained. Everything looks so natural and beautiful!! I am loving it!!!

Blooming Lotus definitely has the soft, soothing spa aura. Staff is incredibly friendly, skilled and welcoming. Always prompt with their appointments.

My very first wax was with Nataliya (attaching my review from Salon Envy in 2015 below)…read more "Came here with a groupon for my first ever waxing experience with Natalia and she was beyond amazing. We had a friendly conversation and it took what felt like 5 minutes. Prices are a little out of my budget without the groupon, but when they have the deal again I will definitely be returning. I can't praise this place enough." After my initial experience, I was a poor college student and had to groupon hop for a little while, but ultimately found my way back to Nataliya. She is amazing at what she does and I am always in and out in less than 20 minutes. The commute is sometimes a long one especially on the weekend, but well worth it!

I've had horrible cystic breakouts all over my face for as long as I can remember, and even now in…read moremy early 30s, they still haven't subsided naturally (sidenote: WTF?) I've tried just about everything out there, short of Accutane, because I'm scared of it. I've tried topical and pill antibiotics, every over-the-counter anti-acne system, every system you order over the TV or from a family friend ... nothing made a dramatic impact on my skin. A family friend who saw Steven regularly convinced my mom he was great, so she paid for my first treatment. After the first treatment, I couldn't believe the results -- every spot on my skin that was raised was flat, and my breakouts were reduced by 50% within 3 treatments (I had the first 3 close together because I was getting ready for a big event). Now it's over a year later, and I see Steven for i-derm (aka galvanic) facials every other week because of the amazing results I've gotten. The Face Loft is a gorgeous little space, impeccably decorated, and Steven is one of the warmest, kindest people I've ever spent time with. He is really one of those rare super gifted people who's better at what he does than anyone else; we're lucky he's here in Chicago. Give it a try, you'll see such great results after one treatment that you'll be hooked.

Bottom line: an exclusive and individualized spa experience. Even though I'm not one for facials, I…read morehave to say celebrity facialist Steven made me feel very at ease during my treatment. My skin felt super soft afterwards, and I was relaxed the rest of the day. The best part--I was able to walk out the door without makeup and my skin looked flawless! No irritation at all--a perfect worry-free treatment for a special occasion, or a pick-me-up. The Faceloft only takes one client at a time, and the space has an exclusive feel. The owner, Heather, is a bright ray of sunshine that made me feel warm and welcome from the minute I met her. Highly recommended for any skin type: from teen to aging skin--The Faceloft has the whole family (and friends) covered.

And I was only asked about pressure for the massage rather than problem areas or what I didn't what worked on; it wasn't a problem for me but I know others would be thrown off by that, especially if they get massages elsewhere.
