I have been going to Yana for years for waxing and other spa services. She is very professional and pleasant and takes good care of you. Liliana is also great. I love getting facials from her. She is very sweet and knows what she's doing. I always feel relaxed after getting a sensitive skin facial. read more

I cannot say enough amazing things about this place! From the moment you walk in, the space feels calm, clean, and so thoughtfully curated. You can truly tell how much care and intention goes into every detail. The treatments are incredible -- personalized, results-driven, and never rushed. My skin has never looked better. They take the time to really assess what your skin needs and explain everything in a way that feels approachable and not overwhelming. I always leave GLOWING. Yana and her team and truly the best. So incredibly grateful to have found this studio 3 years ago. Hands down the best facials in the city. read more

I came in for microneedling and will definitely be back! With the first session I was noticeably brighter!! The esthetician who provided the service was very knowledgeable and great with her hands. Looking forward to the next session! (: read more

Thank you for the response, also thank you for the call afterwards. Yes upon leaving of course my wife is going to say her experience was good, she got put on the spot, the money was spent already. The storage room, not a problem every business have a room where you throw things into, that's not a problem just make sure it's appropriate because it's"spa" you are going in to be comfortable. Regarding the "old school" comment, we live a few blocks away from your studio and been to countless spas in the area, this service is what you had available on your site when I booked. I don't know anything about a September special I paid 235$ for the facial I didn't buy it looking for a discount, just checked your website again and the most expensive facial on there is 300$ I believe, so not sure what discount I received. 235$ for a basic facial is pricey. Also our conversation over the phone you mentioned, you guys were doing laundry that day, so you guys knowingly gave her a dirty body wrap with the stains, no matter what reason it's unacceptable. End of the day that's your business, and it's her experience I definitely didn't go in looking for a discounted facial, my wife still tipped 40$. When we had a conversation over the phone it was different, this response makes it seem like I booked a discount facial and got what I deserved? No matter what the price is I don't recommend it for anyone. read more

It was easy to get an appointment here without having to jump through hoops. I called on a Monday, without registering that the business is closed on Monday (what can I say, I was in full-blown vacation-preparation madness mode?). Yana picked up the phone and was very efficient in booking the appointment. This in and of itself made my day. The day I came here the elevator was broken (but repaired by the time I left) and the spa itself is located in an office building. I am glad that I overcame my trepidation as Yana is a pro and highly personable to boot (she got that I didn't want to chit-chat during a waxing appointment, but yet there was no awkwardness). I usually laser, but due to a snafu on my end, I needed an emergency intervention before I braved the resort beaches of Naples, FL and after a long Chicago winter. The business also offers a new-customer discount of 20%. I plan to keep this in my rotation of places to return when facing a personal grooming dilemma. read more

I'm a big fan of the YA Skin Studio, they make me feel beautiful with a glowing skin everyday. My favorite services: liquid needles, it's like miracle. No downtime, glowing right after, plump and moisturized also it is a very relaxing atmosphere and vibe in the studio. read more

Great experience with Lilliana! I got the signature facial and my skin felt so clean, glowy and moisturized. Lilliana was very patient and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire 75 minutes. I also got in as a walk in which was awesome. Lastly, the studio itself felt very clean and well maintained, which made me relaxed and comfortable. I definitely recommend YA skin studio! read more

I received my first DMK treatment yesterday... the experience was amazing. Yana was super sweet, walked through everything she was doing and provided extensive knowledge on the brands and products as well. My skin looked glowing after! It is definitely worth your money, the entire experience is 2 hours long (includes exfoliation, extractions and the DMK enzyme mask of course). I was worried about the pulsing and stiffness of the mask (it hardens on your face for 45 minutes) but it wasn't bad at all. Yana was in the room with me while the mask was setting which was nice just in case I had any questions about anything. I already booked my second treatment with her. Highly recommend. read more

I have been going to Yana at YA Skin Studio for several years now for waxing services. She is kind, professional and proficient. She uses the best quality wax and never leaves any stray hairs. I highly recommend Yana and staff for any of their services. read more

I get my facials and waxing done at Luxe Spa by Yana. I get facials once every two months (I especially love the chemical peels) she is really good and gentle and my skin looks amazing. I have noticed a huge difference in my skin since I started seeing her. Highly recommend. I also like getting my wax needs done here. I hate pain so she uses tiny strips that make the whole process painless. She also used hard wax, which is what I prefer. The place is clean and zen. read more

First time waxing. Yana was amazing--her "office" was very clean, everything was done professionally, minimal pain, and she was very personable. For something that I was pretty nervous about (a brazilian) it was definitely as great of an experience as it could've been. I won't be going anywhere else! read more

Yana is fantastic! First of all, it is extremely easy to get an appointment as booking online is very easy. You get an email and/or text confirmation and is very easy to modify is necessary as well. I actually found Yana based on fantastic Yelp reviews as she is very close to my apartment. The first time I went to see her, was my first time having a Brazilian wax. She made me feel at ease and really wasn't too painful as she uses very gentle wax. She is extremely personable and I enjoy going. I just went for the second time and bought a package, 6 waxes for $330, which is $55 a session vs $70 if bought as a single. I won't go anywhere else and see her every 4-6 weeks. Highly recommend! read more

Yana is the BEST esthetician in the city of Chicago! She's been my esthetician for over a year now and I work with her exclusively. I initially started seeing her when she was at another studio and when I heard she was moving to her own place I gladly followed her. If she moves again, I will follow there too because she does an amazing job. This particular location is so conveniently located and beautiful (the office overlooks Michigan Ave!) and is so clean, comforting, and relaxing (they have a diverse offering of beverages, everything is super clean, and even the towels are warm and fluffy). When I first started seeing Yana, I had just recovered from a traumatic Brazilian experience, at another studio, where I was burned by the wax (Ouch!). I was super scared, but she was very gentle and even after cooling the wax she tested it on a small area to make sure I wouldn't get burned. Brazilians are also tricky for me because my hair is somewhat fine; she's the only esthetician, I've worked with, who has been able to remove every single hair. She also has great advice on skin care in between waxes--I also just booked my first facial with her, which I am super excited about. Looking at some of the older reviews, it looks like some yelpers have had negative experiences with the past owners--I would encourage folks to give it a go with the new management. I yelp all the time and visit several businesses (for various services) throughout the city and this is the only business that I use exclusively--I could not offer a higher recommendation: I LOVE THIS PLACE! read more

I reviewed the original Luxe Spa on Walton with 5 stars. Thiat was with the original management team which was amazing. I visited Luxe Spa at the new location on Michigan and wow... let me say this was a HUGE disappointment. First of all, the good staff has left along with management/owners. The new "spa" is in the middle of a business center in the Chase building. The elevator was broke when i tried to go to the 4th fl for my appointment. It is not a relaxing environment at all. I was told that I was booked with a masseuse who specialized in deep tissue massages.... that could not have been true, she was terrible. This massage was below average for $160. Very disappointed in the service and experience. NOTE: beware when you are looking at reviews like Emma M who has written two reviews only for the two Luxe Spas. Employees who work here tend to write reviews i noticed. read more

I have been received services at both locations with both owners and enjoyed both spas. Each spa is unique and special in their own way therefore it depends on what type of environment your prefer. I admit I was anxious about getting my services done in a shared office space after being used to a private spa like setting but I was quickly put at ease. The reception area is comfortable and on trend. While the spa area is relaxing and intimate. My services with Yana are always "on point" and I love the products the spa uses. I even bought the entire skin line and have seen improvement with my skin's over all appearance and moisture level. I would recommend Luxe Spa Boutique to anyone who wants timely, professional, friendly and most important knowledgable service. Thanks Yana! read more

Yana is an absolute must in your life! Steps away from Michigan Ave, convenient online booking. And above all amazing wax experience

Yana is amazing. She does a great job and makes an experience that could be uncomfortable very comfortable for her clients. She is a true professional and will go out of her way to accommodate when she can. read more

Love the online booking and Yana is amazing!

Yana is my eyebrow goddess! She always is very consultative and will lend her opinion when it comes to my eyebrows and always makes sure they are perfection. I have followed her from Lincoln Park to Michigan Ave. I would highly recommend her expertise to all. read more

My first wax in a very long time and tho it was uncomfortable as all waxes are I am so please with the results ..I will b back in 4weeks

Was recommended to this establishment, went in with some apprehension due to the reviews. Not sure what they were talking about, the elevator worked and the procedure was excellent. Got a facial, and let me tell you, she worked her magic on me and I was in heaven. Been around the block a few times and at most elite level salons in the city. This was probably the most soothing and relaxing experience I had. Hope I did not snore :-). My face felt clean and refreshed for days. My wife is on her way their tomorrow and I am sure she will attest to the professionalism and experience Yanna brings to the table. Don't hesitate, you will not be disappointed!!!! read more

Yana is the best! I've been going to her for almost two years now, and every time I get my eyebrows done they turn out great. It's super easy to book an appointment with her online and she is very professional. read more

Yana is my go-to person for waxing. She's quick and does not make it awkward. Even after moving, I make sure to make an appointment whenever I'm in town. She's the best! read more

Yana is the best! I've been going to her for 2 years and can't think of ever receiving better services! Her facials are worth every penny, just outstanding! I was having an issue with breakouts and after one facial it all went away! And she is so careful about hygiene which makes it a great experience! The Brazilian waxes are so professional, hardly any pain! Highly recommended!! Can't recommend her enough! read more

Visiting my daughter in Chicago and had an incredible deep tissue massage. Highly recommend-cannot wait to return! Manuel was the best masseuse! read more

I could not be happier with Yana, or the service I received at Luxe Spa. I originally received a gift certificate for the old Luxe Spa (before they moved) for a 60-minute massage. I moved out of the city and didn't realize I forgot to use my certificate. When I called, Yana was so nice and allowed me to transfer my credit to a facial. Though she was running late the day of my appointment, she made me a latte (which was delicious), and took extra time with me to make sure I was a satisfied customer. She is very personable and approachable, and knows her stuff. My skin looks and feels fantastic after over an hour-long session with her, and I can't wait for an opportunity to go back. Side note - I was at the old Luxe Spa previously, and I can honestly say that I prefer working with Yana instead. Though perhaps for of a "spa" atmosphere, the old spa was filled with unhappy employees who were happy to vent to their customers. read more

I have had facials at the old Walton location and new location on Michigan Ave. Had a great experience both times.

I've been coming to see Yana since July of 2017 and I will say she is the best! I come to her for my Brazilians and she does a phenomenal job - I never feel rushed or awkward, and she is so professional but also makes me feel comfortable and relaxed. The prices are very affordable for the services offered and the office is always nice and clean. I would recommend Yana to anyone, especially a wax first timer. She is great! read more

I've been going to Yana, exclusively, for waxing services for over two years now. She's the only one I really trust to do an excellent job! She uses the highest quality wax and is alway so professional. She is also very detailed and a talented waxer - she does the best eye brow shaping and waxing (speaking as someone who is very picky about my eyebrows ). I highly recommend luxe spa and Yana to anyone!! read more

I had great experience, Everything was very clean ... Yana was very profesional and sweet. I would recommend it.

Been there twice... Once for Brazilian & once for facial...service was excellent with Yanna, as always! Shes very professional & a great person! With her, I had the least painful waxing I've ever experienced in my life. Always impressed with her work & she knows what's she's doing! If you decide to go there, ask for Yanna she's the best! Excellent spa! read more

If you're in Chicago (living or visiting) and need a facial, go see Yana!!! I'm a facialist snob, and Yana was amazing! She took the time to understand my skin care routine and where I wanted/needed to go, even though she knew I would be an intermittent client at best since I live out of town. She used great products and was very careful about my allergy to coconut and coconut by-products. I will go back whenever I'm in town! read more
