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!
