Swerve offers a full suite of services and has a well maintained Instagram if you want to go through individual stylists recent work. I love that they have online appointments which make booking very easy. They've almost always had some availability in a short time frame and offer evening weekday appointments. Prices are really reasonable especially for some of the newer stylists. Prices are clearly listed on their booking system by stylist and service which I really appreciate. I've been with different stylists and they have all been great. Recently had a very great haircut with Emmie who was great about listening to my preferences. Maddy as well did a fantastic color/balayage for me that had grown out well even after a year. I had a minor issue with a service recently and the staff were so so nice about immediately accommodating me for a fix up.

I am so thankful to have found Amy on Yelp. I have been dealing with abnormal stubborn adult acne…read morefor the past year. I've been to dermatologists, other laser spas, and Amy is the first person who is taking a holistic approach. She has been so amazing with her time, looking at all of the supplements I'm taking, asking about the food I'm eating, looking at all of the topicals the derm put me on and all of the other skincare products I was using. She has made recommendations on all of the above, including changes she thinks I need to make. I can tell it's all making a difference, and my skin feels so much better now that I'm using the products she has recommended and have gotten off the harsh topicals my derm prescribed that weren't working and were only making my skin itchy, dry, and still not cleared up. Bonus the products she has are clean and EU certified so I feel really good using them. My skin is feeling so much healthier. I've had one Aerolase Neo Elite laser treatment so far and it was a great experience. Amy really took her time working on my face, it was like night and day from the past laser experiences I had. Amy is so committed to helping me achieve my goals and clear my skin. For the first time I feel hope and I know it's because I have the help of the best skin guru in all of Chicago! If you are having troubles with your skin I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to Amy, she is the best!

If you want to see results on your skin, there is absolutely no one else to go to but Amy. I've…read morenever had a more professional and knowledgeable esthetician than Amy. She starts the experience before you even walk through the door by asking about your skin, your health background, allergies, etc... and really uses all of that information to tailor a facial that is right for you and your skin type. I've always had bad acne/flare ups that had left my face in a constant state of redness. Through a few sessions with Amy, I can tell she has repaired my skin and the redness is gradually fading away to reveal a really clear complexion. The price may seem high, but she spends several hours with her clients... don't even bother with going to one of the hotel spas, those are never results oriented. She follows up for days after the facial as well to really understand how your skin reacts and takes the treatments. Plus, she treats the decolletage area as well! Of course, she ends the experience with an amazing hand/shoulder/head massage. I can't say enough amazing things about Amy, but maybe one of the only facial specialists in the area that really knows what she is doing!

The treatment was refreshing, thorough, and precise. My skin felt deeply cleansed, hydrated, and noticeably smoother right after. I especially appreciated how intentional she was, explaining each step without making it feel rushed. The glow lasted well beyond the appointment. Highly recommend. I will definitely be back.

I had a really disappointing experience at Heavenly Massage. There was nothing "heavenly" about it…read more I booked what was advertised as a 90 minute massage, but the fine print shows it is actually closer to 80 minutes, with 10 minutes meant for changing. On top of that, my session started late, so the massage itself was only about 75 minutes. When I brought this up to the front desk, the response was dismissive. I was told "maybe the clock is broken," with no apology or effort to fix the situation. The overall experience felt unprofessional. The linens had a noticeable mildew smell, which made me uncomfortable right away. The massage itself was disorganized and at times painful in a concerning way, not therapeutic pressure but pressing directly on bones. I had booked a deep tissue massage, but no area was worked on long enough to actually release tension. It felt like random, surface level movements rather than intentional work, and it didn't provide any relief. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this did not meet basic expectations for professionalism or quality. I would not return or recommend.

This is a solid gym. There's multiple floors of cardio equipment, a spacious weightlifting area…read morethat always has enough room even at peak hours, a Pilates studio, spinning studio, and multiple group fitness rooms. You can find pretty much any equipment here -- punching bags, sleds, reformer machines, etc. There is a good mix of group fitness classes here included in the membership price. Equinox has a reputation for being fancy -- thus the high price of this gym. However, I don't think this *particular* location really warrants the high price. This location isn't as flashy and new as comparably-priced gyms (like the Lincoln Common Equinox or the Midtown Athletic Club). It also lacks the extensive amenities of a place like East Bank Club (which has tennis courts, kayaking, basketball, etc). A membership at this location will give you access to some of Equinox's newer, fancier facilities (like Lincoln Common) as well as some of its convenient locations for office workers (Loop branch). If you live in Old Town / southern Lincoln Park and want a gym that's close-by this is probably the best option in the neighborhood.

I received a phone call from a Manager and was told that they will speak to the massage therapist…read morein question. Further, he apologized for the disturbing behavior and offered a small credit. While monetary reimbursement is not the goal, it is excellent customer service and I hope the behavior changes. Thank you! ** original message: Therapist and clientele not using inside voices and disturbing neighboring rooms is highly unacceptable. This is a place of relaxation: not a therapy room where your social life and nonsense are forced upon other paying patrons. I spoke to the front desk, my massage therapist, and will be reaching out to management and ownership. Respect your paying customers and ask your clients to be mindful. This is what is wrong with our society: the entitlement and total disregard for others right to quiet and relaxation. Do better people.

This place (chain) is a rip off. For a "1 hour" massage they offer a first time special of $85…read more It's normally $140.00. There is a clock in the room and my massage therapist came in five minutes after the hour and left 10 minutes before the hour. This is really a 45 minute massage advertised as a 1 hour massage. I did not like the vibe here. It had a dated feel. There were no other customers here. Surprising for such a large space. My therapist was kinda snarky. The worst part was SHE WORE GLOVES. Not only did it not make the massage feel as good but I could hear the sound of the gloves when she massaged me. The room also had weird music that was hard to hear because of the loud blower in the room. The pillow used to put under my legs was severely worn and the sheets and blanket were old too. When I flipped over she said the dimmer on the lights wasn't working so she put a piece of light colored cloth over my eyes that kept falling off. After the massage she said I would of been better off with a 90 minute. I don't think so. 45 minutes was more than enough. I thought about ending the massage at the beginning but decided to just go with it. When I checked out to pay their credit card machine wasn't working so she had to punch the number in manually.

The workers were sooo kind and patient and they told me they could make more scents if I didn't like any of the ones made for me, BUT I liked all of them!!
