Spa Space, Chicago

Being at this spa was like a dream! It was decorated beautifully, the ambiance was amazing, the staff were very nice and accommodating! My bestie and I got massages, facials and some amazing pedicures! I highly recommend getting a pedicure there! Make sure it’s one that includes the parifin wax! My feet have never been this soft!

I was given a gift certificate for a one hour massage. I'd never been there before so I was a bit overwhelmed by what to do. I checked in at the front desk, and the clerk seemed preoccupied, but got me checked in and then gave me a brief tour of the women's lounge along with a cup of chamomile tea. She did educate me about the lockers, but not about the rain/steam shower or the products available for use; another client happened to be in the lounge and showed me what I could use, thankfully. A robe and flip flops were provided - but pro-tip, bring your own flip-flops because the ones they provide are quite beat-up and actually hurt my feet where the thong portion connected on the sole. My massage therapist, DeeDee, was AMAZING. Easily the best part of the experience. Communicative, talented, and really listened to me when I explained where I felt pain or discomfort, even educating me about what specific things I may be feeling and suggesting additional stretches and at-home treatments to help me. When I was finished, DeeDee brought me more tea and said to take my time checking out, which I did. Unfortunately, not very long after I began to decompress with my tea, an employee walked in and shouted that she was shutting down the area and they were closing. It felt really rude, completely stress-inducing, and like anyone who was still in the lounge was impeding her end-of-work-day. So, SpaSpace, if you're going to close up shop right exactly at a certain time, it might be a good idea to prep your customers well enough ahead of time, perhaps even prior to the appointment start, so that they're not shocked at being kicked out of a post-massage relaxation period. I may or may not return, but if I do, I'll make sure it's early enough in the day not to piss off an employee who's ready to go.
