A weekend of swimming, walking for hours and among other things had me seeking a massage. I'm thrilled to have found this place open on the 4th of July!!! Let's just say... It's the best value I've ever seen for massages by far and the experience was great to. The massages can be a little rough, but it's nothing a little verbal request can't fix. I did the 90 minute, full-body regular (no oil) and it was pleasant. The feet soak only stayed warm for 5 minutes, the heated back pad was a nice addition though. They use towels here instead of linens, but trust me it's nice to have a little cushion. I didn't expect my masseuse to stand on top of me, it was shocking but also relieving AF. The woman has incredible balance. They are listed on Groupon and Yelp has a check-in discount too...definitely recommend this for the folks who can handle a stronger set of hands. See the services menu attached for all their deals (as of July 2022). read more

I love, love, LOVE this place. I get a huge tension knot that builds up on the right side of my neck and causes horrible migraines. 60 minutes here, and it is no longer a problem. The massages are a bit rough, but that works great for me, I didn't come to play. The only way I can really describe it is that it hurts SO good! Street parking isn't TOO hard to find, and it's metered. They take reservations as well. They've also recently made renovations with some private rooms couples massages. read more

This was a below average experience, but the quality was right for the groupon price I paid. I bought the couples massage as a surprise for a date with my gf who rarely gets a pro massage. Summary: price- fair/worth it 5/5; Quality of massage- meh, 3/5; customer service- meh 3/5; comfort of experience/respect of our bodies- 0/5 (see below for more). Am I going back? no. First, I read other reviews and can confirm they will ask you to upgrade to hot stone add on for $15/person (otherwise the rest of the massage on our body will just be through the blanket). It was worth it for me, and maybe you too, but think they should prewire their customers better for this. They made a significant misstep that lost stars for me b/c it made us both uncomfortable... Major negative for us: comfort/privacy. The man massaged my girlfriend and the woman massaged me. I considered immediately asking them to switch and regret not doing so for three reasons: 1) they spent significant time on our Glutes (and both seemed to rest their hands on our butts while massaging other areas) 2)The man told my gf to remove her bra, which he should NOT do; the customer should always decide their comfort level, and she reported to me that his hand was sometimes touching her side boob while he was massaging other areas. IMHO he was oblivious at best, or an opportunist pervert at worst. 3) the woman didn't massage me hard enough even though i asked her to go more firm, and the man apparently was too hard for my gf. I tipped $20 total without even thinking about it, but regret doing so as well. I saw hit or miss reviews and took a risk to get a budget massage and the cards didn't fall in our favor, but maybe they will for you if you're also into taking a gamble...next time i'll fork out and play it safe. I know that had I gathered the courage to ask them to switch who was massaging whom then our experience would have been better on the whole (and gf was happy anyway), but I should not have to. It seems like poor practice to have default be opposite gender masseuses (esp when both are available) and not even ask for preference. They also assumed she and I were comfortable undressing in front of each other, which is not always a safe assumption. Also re:privacy: there are no walls, just semi sheer curtains to separate you from others. You may not have the same experience, and on the whole it was not terrible for us, (GF was satisfied), but we won't be back. read more

I got a Groupon and decided to try this place out. When I walked into my appt (15 minutes late btw, there is absolutely no parking in the area. But I did call in and ask if that's okay and they said yes) I was asked my the lady in the front if I wanted to upgrade to a Combo massage for an extra $10. I hesitated but said yes and let me tell you, that was the best decision EVER!! They know what they're doing and it was super relaxing! The only downside is that it's not private and everyone in the room can see you but by the way the massage was going I didn't even care! I felt like I was on a cloud! Definitely a place I'll be returning to again and again! Can't wait! read more

Called and got an appointment an hour later. The lady on the phone (also was my masseuse, Leila) was friendly and polite. I paid for the $28 hour combo, tipped her $15 before starting, and guess what? My massage was FANTASTIC! I've learned massages are life testing my ability to speak up for myself so I asked for a female in advance, no pressure to remove my clothing, and overall a really nice experience for someone who really needed it. read more

Was excited to relax and treat myself ! Terrible service, appointment a week in advance, they says " COME COME COME" 10 minutes before my appointment after driving around looking for parking in this crowded area. Impossible. They tell me they have to push me 2 HOURS back.... what !?! 10-30 mini understand two hours who has that kindve time I made appointment for a reason. Waste my day off came into the city. Unapologetic. They don't care about your time and appointments how good can their service be read more

Feet reflexology massages are ubiquitous nowadays - in fact, there are 4 within a half mile from Carefree's location. I lucked out with a fantastic masseuse here, and the 5 stars is really for him. Services are performed in an open space with communal massage beds, but offers a little privacy with semi sheer curtains that mimicked walls. Receptionist was hard selling an upgrade to the hot oil/hot stones, which I highly recommend after experiencing it, but I thought the pitch could have been more tactfully done. The one hour included head, feet, legs, neck, shoulders and back. When it came to the body part, I had to remove my top with a towel draped over me. For the conservative ladies, note that your clothed butt is massaged, and your bra will be unhooked and pants tucked down to top of the butt cheeks. I wasn't expecting that, but it allowed for long strokes from my upper shoulder to lower back, and that felt amazing! The pressure was perfect, and I felt incredibly relaxed afterwards. This is one of the most enjoyable reflexology sessions I've had. read more

Purchased a Groupon for Carefree foot as a V-Day gift for my bf and I. When we got there we were told that we should pay $20 for a better massage, which I willingly did. Not sure if it were the owner or just a manager who did my massage but he walked away from me 5 times to attend to other business, equaled to a little over 10 mins of lost time. He was also talking on his AirPods throughout the entire message. Imagine hearing the person on the other end in your ear while hoping to get a relaxing massage. He had someone else finish me up since he was so busy, she was great and I wish I had her the entire time. I would have understood if he said he were busy and asked us to wait until another person was available to do the massage. Horrible experience. If you're looking to relax, I would look elsewhere. read more

Do not go here!! We went for the 60 minute foot and body massage and they did not massage our feet at all! They kept insisting to my boyfriend and I that they massaged our feet but they did not touch our feet at all. We were both fully awake and aware the entire time. Definitely was not a full 60 minutes. After trying to tell them that they did not massage our feet they pretended that they did and that we were crazy. They said that there were no cameras so no way to prove. We did not get our feet massaged at all. They tried to make us wait a whole hour after our massage (so that they could get to other customers) to get a foot massage after talking with the manager. We did not wait and I asked the manager for store credit. The manager was very reasonable and nice. His workers not so much. read more

CareFree Feet Reflexology - This worker was the one that massaged me, and told me and his manager that he massaged my feet when he did not - Massage Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Got a 30min foot/30min back massage doe $40. I've been to this place and other places many times for years. I have never been asked to take my shirt off in a room full of other people getting foot massages. I was asked to take my shirt off. He held up a towel and I wondered if maybe it was Bc I got the back massage portion not just feet. I figured I had a bra on and a woman next to me no big deal but still weird. But then he unsnapped my bra immediately and I freaked out. NOT NORMAL. NOT OKAY. why is he removing my bra? What's wrong with this place. Will not be back. Will be reporting. What else did he think he was going to get away with? Creep. read more

At first, I thought the massage was a bit weak. But I then realize the masseuse knew exactly which area needed work! I couldn't find any faults. The place was clean and quiet, and I got my quarterly "tune-up" to get the kinks out of my back, neck and shoulders in particular. read more

Really great massage! I took my mom here for her birthday. She enjoyed it very much. $28 for a one hour massage that massages the face, hands, arms and feet is such a great price. They start off by soaking your feet in warm/hot water. Then they work on your body. read more

Ya get what ya pay for. The reviews I read are pretty accurate is all I'll say. I like a firm massage and what I got was pretty weak each time I've been here, but then again, it's pretty cheap. If you're looking to roll the dice on a weak massage, go for it. read more

Massage was very nice. The feet felt so much better after coming here, it's what I was chasing after. I work tirelessly in a restaurant and the older I get, the harder it is to "return to normal". The only negative was a masseuse obviously got sick, and was hacking, (coughing) profusely, and then proceeded to go outside where I could clearly hear him throwing up. Kinda gross, when he comes back in after he composed himself and continued with his client. I'm glad he wasn't my guy, but still. Doesn't mean he couldn't get me sick. Especially with Covid unfortunately still flying around, it was very off-putting. read more

Extremely relaxing massage for a great deal. Can't wait to go back. Recommend the hot stone massage and the reflexology.

The massage itself was okay, however there was a baby present in the massage room that kept crying which is LITERALLY the opposite of relaxing and what someone is looking for when going to a massage parlor. Additionally my masseur kept getting up (I'm assuming to work the front desk, but because of this I got less than the hour massage I paid for), a woman was playing a video out loud, and it was just generally noisy in the salon. Overall, it was not a pleasant or relaxing experience in the slightest, and I don't think I will return. read more

Reflexology is one of my go-to treatments for my achy and troublesome back pain. Its not a fancy relaxing massage but medicinal and helps relieve some of the stiffness caused by sitting at a desk all day. So needless to say, I've visited several shops and the main thing I look for is cleanliness (check!) and price (check!). The massage was the same routine that they all do but towards the end my therapist added a little something out of routine to address some really tight muscles and I was super thankful for it! Its not as dim as the other places I've been but, again, I'm not looking for a "Calgon take me away moment" but for someone to help loosen my muscles. I'd def go back! P.s. Parking is tricky in that pocket so plan accordingly before your visit. read more

Found this massage place through Groupon apps, and made same day appointment for two people. The receptionist was friendly and glad she was able to take us in. She also gave us water to drink after our massage session, good customer services! I like the fact that they provided sandals for clients to change, so you don't have to walk on barefoot. We tried the hot stones and it was a fabulous experience. My massager did a very good job on massaging overall, but he forgot to massage my hands. Therefore, I give 4/5 stars. read more

Came in with a headache left with a migraine. Construction noises the entire time - I could feel the massage bed vibrate along with the drill in the wall. They should not have offered appointments during that time frame. It was a total waste of money. And then they demanded a bigger tip when I paid and tipped. Don't go here. read more

I got a Groupon for the place so decided to try it. The man at the counter kept pushing me to pay more for other items. No petal Milk foot soak like the Groupon said, and soaked for about 5 minutes. Really aggressive massage in which they actually walk on you. Did not massage the head or arms. I think the massage made me more tense. It was not relaxing at all. read more

My girlfriend and I came for a relaxing two hour massage today and WOW--what an experience. One of the best massages we've had in years. Very relaxing, and everyone was super friendly and professional. Will definitely be going back. Also they all followed COVID protocols really well. read more

Two friends had recommended this place to me Great service and great prices Reflexology massage was great.

Receptionist extremely rude, no customer service if you have a Groupon they only take you if you have an appointment but if you would of just walked in off the street all the sudden they have a free spot! read more

This place is two stores north of Relax Feet on Clybourn Avenue. It is great. The place is new. It is very clean, quiet and pleasant. It was very easy to make an appointment there. The massage was the same as at Relax Feet. The price was the same too. However it is easier, at least for now, to get an appointment at Carefree Feet. I like both Carefree Feet and Relax Feet over Fit Foot and Foot Smile due to atmosphere. However the actual massages at all four places are nearly identical. read more

Incredible massage - blows their nearby competitors away. Very clean and spacious. Hubs and I enjoyed our massages and agreed we will be back soon. I'd strongly recommend Jason. read more
