Maybe you've heard of aromatherapy, but you know little to nothing about what it is or the benefits it can provide. Aromatherapy uses plant aromatics, often in the form of essential oils, for the holistic healing of mind, body, and spirit. Whether you're a busy homemaker or the head of a corporation, aromatherapy is something that you can learn about and integrate into your daily activities. Essential oils are concentrated aromatic plant extracts, usually collected through a process of steam or oil distillation.
Along with your massage we will conduct a pain-free blood analysis and will be able to tell you on the spot what kind of improvements, if any, you can make in your life to feel better and get more out of every day.
The nail is made of hard protein called keratin. A protein is one of the building blocks which make up the body. The nails help protect the ends of the fingers and toes from trauma and also help us pick up small objects. Over the last hundred years, the nails have become more important for cosmetic reasons and less important for protection.

I love Renee! She is so kind. I love their services. My favorite are the facials and peels. They do pedicures very good. The massage was just okay service. It was not terrible but could of been more relaxed. I definitely recommend to book with her. She is very flexible. You must have a credit card to reserve an appointment

I was looking forward to a nice mani / pedi but when I called to make an appt well in advance. Renee would not book the appointment without a credit card in advance. I found this to be off putting since this is my first time there. She said it's because people haven't been showing up to their appts - but I assured her that this is for my bridal shower and I'm calling in advance and I will be there.

She repeated herself several times - give her a credit card in advance or go online and pre pay for my services. I'm not comfortable with either and that's not the way to treat first time customers. Too bad bc I live a block away.

Renee Day Spa was great! I personally loved the spa packages that were very inexpensive but such a wonderful value. I felt that staff were very kind and professional. I would highly recommend Anna for facials and Jaqoda for massages. I will absolutely go back and recommend to others! Service: Skin treatments

Easy 0/5 stars rating. Fiance and her sister arrived yesterday and the spa was completely different from advertised. As you can see in the pictures provided the floor is dirty, sheets are dingy and the overall quality of the rooms was very poor. There are cameras that completely go against any type of ethical values of privacy and the pictures on the website and google are completely false advertisement.

After mentioning to the owner that they were uncomfortable with the room and didn't want to continue with the massage, the owner denied them a full refund. Due to urgent travel necessities we had to leave with not even full credit on a company gift card. The full amount for the couples massage, $230 was taken and never returned. The owner was exceptionally rude and uncooperative and overall a terrible first experience with this spa. If you expect your money to be taken regardless of receiving your service or not I guess you can give them a try otherwise I would highly recommend you avoiding this spa.

I came to this place because it is close to my work and they could squeeze me in easily. The space is nothing fancy but clean. They were very friendly and got my into my appointment quickly. They aesthetician who did my facial was nice but not overly chatty. She worked quickly but did a fine job.

I have to come back here. I was just visiting Chicago but my body was feeling out of shape. I had a hot stone massage and I wish I remembered the masseuse's name. She was from another country but her hands were out of this world! I hope to visit Chicago again and book a longer hot stone massage. Her style was unlike American hot stone massages and for the better.

Renee Day Spa is an "absolute must go to" of Chicago! I had the luck of locating her business as a local amenity nearby to the hotel we are staying in for our visit in Chicago. I cannot express enough the high level of quality for our massage and facial services. It's amazing how different you can look and feel after a couple hours in this spa. We were literally - no exaggeration - soft and supple to the touch and glowing from relaxation.

The spa is absolutely professional, clean, and so gentle with their care for you as soon as you walk in. I instantly felt calm and peaceful and knew I would be taken care of. Renata is the kindest woman I have ever met. I cannot wait to see her again and use this spa when I am back in Chicago.

I had scheduled two "Full day of beauty" packages for me and my husband. We were not disappointed. Each treatment was unique and completely relaxing and rejuvenating. Our technicians were professional and knowledgeable and helped personalize each treatment for us. The setting was clean and orderly and added to the relaxing environment. We had a fabulous experience and will be comping back again.

Had a mother/daughter mini-spa day and were extremely happy with our services! We each got pedicures and swedish-massages. We couldn't have left feeling more relaxed. The whole experience was wonderful!

Super friendly, clean, professional, welcoming day spa. Got a massage and pedicure. Totally reasonable prices and valet parking on site (also has street parking, though that is a little harder to find). Lovely, knowledge staff. And the owner has her pics of her with Britney and Whitney on the wall. I mean, IS THERE a better stamp of approval? I think not. A+

We visited over the Memorial Day weekend, so it was very booked up and I appreciate that they squeezed us in on a Saturday afternoon for a couples massage. 5 stars for that and the owner's hospitality and warmth. But that's as far as it goes for the 5 stars. Instead of the 10-15 minutes we were told that we will have to wait, we waited almost 45 minutes for the massage to begin.

The room was too small for two beds and I had a feeling that my massage therapist is squeezed and can't really access my body very well. It was also really chilly in there. We are not from Chicago/not used to the cold weather and it was an usually cold weekend for the season. We turned the little space heater on when we entered the room, which they then turned off (without saying anything) 5 mins into the massage.

Then my partner mentioned it's getting cold again (he never gets cold), so they turned on his heated massage bed - did not ask me if I am fine or not. Later I mentioned too that I am cold again and they almost grudgingly turned the heater on at last. I completely understand that when you are giving the massage, it is physical work and you likely get hot, but I think it is the customer whose needs come first, IF you can't find a way that works for both the therapist and the client.

I did not enjoy being cold for a large part of the hour; I can't feel relaxed when I am cold. My massage therapist also never asked in the beginning how I want the pressure or checked in with me throughout the hour. We were never offered water either at the end of the massage. Parking is very difficult, frustrating and overpriced in the area. I do realize it is not their fault but it still contributes to the whole thing. It was an underwhelming, forgettable massage and experience, and if we lived in Chicago or visited again, we would go elsewhere.

I went to Renee Day Spa for a small bachelorette party. They were able to accommodate 4 of us easily. Renee was a pleasure to work with. We found out the day before that one girl, the bride, needed to work about halfway through the planned services. Renee helped us rearrange the services last minute so that she could still enjoy herself and be on the call at the same time. They truly went above and beyond. I would not hesitate to come back here again. It's a convenient location and all of the services were great at an outstanding price!

Positive: Cleanliness, Quality, Value Visited the salon on a Friday afternoon. Very clean. Small location in an office building, which felt safe during COVID times. Facial was relaxing and well done. Pedicure was really great and only 2 people in the chairs at a time. Prices were also very reasonable - I will be back! Services: Skin treatments, Pedicures

Horrible. Made appointments for me and my boyfriend at 2:15 for a massage and manicure. I was left waiting for 30 minutes before anyone even spoke to me, woman with dark black hair is very rude. I told her I wanted a upgrade to no chip manicure and instead of telling me it would be a longer wait and letting me decide if I wanted that she just walked away without saying anything, she has a horrible attitude by the time someone acknowledged me I did not have time to even get a manicure that is why I made it for a specific time. Never gonna go here again felt very racist not sure what was going on.

BFF & I had a great day here! Anna's massages were one of the best we've ever had, & Jenny & Renee made our nails look beautiful (big task after months of us unsuccessfully doing our own.) They're super nice & accommodating, & made sure everything was safe and sanitary. Definitely recommend. And support this local business!

This place is so awesome! My boyfriend surprised me with a Valentine's spa day, and I showed up not knowing what to expect. It was the best day ever! The ladies are so nice and welcoming. Not only did I get the best manicure I've ever had, but my massage was out of this world! Thank you so much, I'll be coming back for sure!

Was looking for a day spa to treat a relative and myself, when I found this place on Yelp. Called them up a few days prior to schedule. Scheduled their Gold Special (50 minute European facial & 50 minute Swedish massage for $160) for 2. Arrived on time. Located on the 7th floor of an older office building; seems out of place for a day spa. Upon arrival I needed to use the bathroom which is located down the hall outside the spa and had a key to use.

As for the facial and massage, both were fantastic. It was warm and quiet, so very easy to escape the cold and traffic below. Both the aesthetician and masseuse were experienced and I was very relaxed. It was hard going back to the streets of cold & traffic.

Simply the best! If I could give more stars I would. My friend and I booked all day packages. For me, Anaya gave me a full body exfoliation, followed by a massage, facial and candaling. Renee did my gel mani. Each service was perfectly relaxing and exceeded my expectations. My friend has simililar services and experience. Renee Day Spa will be my go-to self care business going forward. A+

Wow - and not in a good way. Place is clean enough but outdated and in a rundown building. That said I'm fine with a no frills environment but it was so underwhelming especially at $100 an hour. I asked for a deep tissue massage and said to the therapist (Jess) that I would like a lot of pressure, particularly to focus on my neck and shoulders.

Pretty much it was getting myself slathered all over with oil/moisturizer and patted and had the sheets adjusted. It also seemed like time was being used up/wasted as she moved around getting the hot stones - why bother as they were applied ineffectively. I tried the positive reinforcement approach and let her know when the pressure was decent but those times were fleeting.

She said my muscles were really tight- true that's why I was there for a massage. Occasionally I would get a little pressure and then just rubbing. She didn't seem to want (or know how) to concentrate on an area to work out the tightness. I'm still tense and now I'm irritated! Ugh : - ((

Such a relaxing manicure experience! The spa is clean, decorated largely with white furniture and accents, which makes the space feel clean and rejuvenating. I got the no chip manicure which ran me $45 - expensive versus manicures where I'm from in Texas but standard for this area. This salon has a great selection of neutral gel colors as well as a few neon and more bold shades.

I got the gel OPI Don't Bossa Nova Me Around - a lovely soft mauve. My nails look great! Lastly, the staff is so friendly! We had a great conversation, and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience! Definitely recommend getting your next manicure here!

The place is cute and cozy. After seeing on Yelp that their Swedish massage is $80, they charged me $100 after my massage was completed. Also, the room was extremely cold. The only reason why I gave them 2 stars is because the massage was good. Will definitely not come back.

Honestly I get deep tissue massages often (every other week due to a health condition) and this was not a good one. I can handle a great deal of pressure but this felt uneducated and needlessly "rough." Plus the website said $90 and she charged me $100, I felt scammed. I wouldn't go back.

+ Accommodating of last minute appointments + Excellent, experienced estheticians and massage therapists + Easy walk from nearby hotels e.g. Hyatt Centric I was in town for a conference at Northwestern and was staying at the Hyatt. Had a day to spare and decided I needed to de-stress and treat myself to a day at the spa. I called around opening time on the Saturday morning of Easter weekend and asked if they might be able to squeeze me in.

And squeeze me in they did - I booked myself an appointment at noon for "The Works" spa package, complete with a European facial, Swedish massage, manicure and whirlpool pedicure. The services run for about 3.5 hours for $240, which is pretty reasonably priced especially for the quality of services you are getting. This is a no-frills, clean and quiet day spa that runs efficiently but does not make you feel rushed.

It is run by Eastern Europeans, mainly Polish ladies who were really good at what they did. My massage got out all of my kinks and my facial was very much cleansing (they did a VERY thorough job especially with extractions). My only complaint was my manicure had some bubbling under the top coat but was otherwise good. They do not ask you to fill out any paperwork or disclosures of medical conditions, so if you do have any specific issues you want your massage therapist or esthetician to address, you need to mention it to them yourself.
