I've been coming to cowshed (located in soho house) for about 10 years for their amazing massages. Every masseuse I've had has been great. It's pricey ($120 for 30 min signature massage) but worth a treat every so often. When you arrive they take you to a relaxing lounge with lemon water to change into a comfy robe and flip flops. You can hang out in the lounge after. The soaps/shampoos in their showers / at their sinks smell amazing. I've only done nails once years ago and it was not worth the price. But I'll definitely be coming back consistently for massages. One annoying thing is that they charge 100% cancelation fees within 24 hrs of service which is pretty difficult to handle with 2 kids which could mean a last minute emergency. But I was able to book a same day appointment to deal with this. read more

I spent $272 (with tip) to get a no-chip mani and regular pedicure prior to vacation. I went on Sunday afternoon and my treatment was completed by 4 pm ish. My Tuesday two nails had chipped. I was gutted and leaving Wednesday morning. By the time I got to the airport at 6 am on Wednesday, 4 nails were chipped. In what world does a $150 ish no chip manicure last 48 hours?! I tried contacting them several times. They finally replied after three follow ups with a very casual response about a discount on a future service. Why on earth would I do that? I'll never trust that my nails won't chip again. After I pressed further, they ghosted me. I'm super lucky I have time/money to spend on a nice treatment like this. In this economy, service with prices that high should be white glove instead it's giving I can't believe you are bothering us for not giving good service. Take your business to a local salon instead. You'll get a better price, nails that actually last the 2 weeks and more often than not you'll get good customer service that small businesses often pride themselves on. To quote Paul Hollywood this place is all style and no substance. read more

Amazing service! Had the best scrub and massage! Thank you to the team for taking good Care of me! I will be back read more

OHHHHHH MY GAWD! Yassss!!!!!! Listen, Cowshed made a believer out of me! I was brought here by my girlfriend for my birthday. I am not one for allowing people to touch me. It took a hot second for me to warm up to everything. My girlfriend's encouragement and the green tea helped! So it should really matter when I say that the pedicure was fantastic. I give my pedicurist high marks because the cuticle push is uncomfortable for me, but she was gentle. I made it through. My feet and skin are sooooo soft! I even Shazammed some of the songs playing in the background because it was a total vibe. And THEN THERE WAS THE MASSAGE!!!!!! GAWD!!!!!!!!!! It was the best experience I've ever had. The men's lounge has everything one could ever need to prepare for the massage. The masseuse gives the option of different aromatic scents. She did a short 3-minute consultation to gauge my comfort level, and even asked if I prefer her to spend more time on a specific part of my anatomy. I walked out feeling Heavenly! THANKS TO MANAGEMENT FOR THE COMPLIMENTARY BIRTHDAY CHAMPAGNE! read more

I had a massage last wk 75 minutes 227$ very expensive for what I received. I have for a relaxing deep tissue massage. When I got in the rm she talked to me for 5 minutes asking me questions the same things I answered on my intake the nerve to deduct that time on my massage she did!!!! I was not relaxed it was more of a therapeutic massage not relaxing like if I would go to a I'll bone and joint appointment I was very unhappy I did let them know and the response was next time we will give you a different person. For me there will be no next time over priced and not relaxing a very unhappy customer read more

This is hands down my favorite spa in the city and where I always ask my husband to send me when he wants to dote on me. He booked me for a facial when I was 9 months pregnant and beyond miserable. i'd never had one before and was pleasantly surprised at how relaxing it was and how great I felt afterwards! I didn't know my skin could look so good. i gave birth THE NEXT DAY and everyone commented on how amazing I look in photos from literally seconds after birthing a human. I keep telling people that all credit needs to go to Cowshed and their staff for my glowing postpartum looks! read more

Can't trust this place. They will cancel your appointment and say they are doing their best to accommodate you and give you really different times that what you had in the first place. On top of it they are rude. read more

Truly a tedious ordeal to apply for the membership; was redirected about 5 times within my email & browser, taken to a very ambiguous menu with needlessly vague descriptions of benefits defining each soho membership in the catalog...and no prices. Listen, it's a spa booking; you're not protecting Pentagon analytics. I'm not applying for a mortgage. Most people fully expect to drop several Benjamins when they're looking to book a 90 min Massage, hydrofacial and mani/pedi--no need to make it so exhausting to book...all for some sad attempt at...phony prestige? Wasting my damn time. I'm wasting more time here in the hopes that others will spare themselves... read more

Love this place. I've been here for pedicures and most recently a facial. The pedicures are on the expensive side but they are worth the splurge when you need to treat yourself. They offer you a choice of drinks, I always get their ginger tea, because it's Rare Tea Cellars and served in the cutest teapot and cup. Note that in the winter they'll cover your foot with a greased up sandwich bag to prevent your toenails from smudging in your shoes, which makes your feet crazy slippery, which makes walking around the West Loop real fun. My facial with Alina was amazing. I booked the Cowshed facial but she will still adjust based on your skin needs. She used this hi-frequency buzzing thing on my breakouts and I swear they were almost gone the next day. Also the facial massage she gave me was so good. My face felt more firm and less puffy the next day. Their treatment beds are also super comfortable. They are heated and the leg area is elevated, instead of of them just adding a leg pillow under your knees. The blankets are super soft too. The steam plus the cozy blankets and the heated bed made me snug as a bug in a rug, I wanted to stay forever. With the facial you get a choice of a scalp, hand or foot massage. So relaxing! read more

I have been going to Jaron since 2015 and has been an amazing friend and barber. He is professional and always does his job with a friendly smile. He is also a great listener. Service at cowshed is a seamless process. Cowshed is conveniently located in the west loop which is close to my work office for a lunchtime cut. If you are looking for a barber, look no further than Jaron. read more

One of my "hobbies" is checking out different spas around the city and suburbs to see what they are like. I decided to visit Cowshed Spa for my birthday recently. There are 3 things that attracted me to this spa: 1. The location 2. The positive reviews 3. The fact that I could grab lunch at one of the restaurants upstairs If possible, you definitely want to come here on your birthday. They give you a free glass of prosecco. Every inch of the space is extremely clean. I also appreciated how sanitary the pedicure area was. They place a liner over the pedicure bowl and keep the surrounding area tidy. The technician used a motorized heel buffer to help soften up my heels. The pedicure went pretty well. To be honest, I rarely spend more than $40 on a pedicure, so spending $60 before tip was more of a splurge for me (They also have an $80 one that includes a scalp and shoulder massage). Even though this spa has similar pricing to other spa's in Chicago, it does not have some of the same "extras" that some of them do. The relaxation area is within the locker room/bathroom, so it isn't that relaxing due to people coming in and out. There also isn't a pool or fitness area either. I knew that this place wasn't a full amenity spa before coming, but I just want to make sure that others know what to expect of the experience. read more

It's beautiful here. I originally gave three stars because I haven't tried most of the services and the aesthetic is nice, but I brought it two because I've had a lasting issue from the service provider. Unfortunately out of the three times I've been here, for lash tinting, the second time the practitioner burned my eye lids with the way she did the application. I've never had this reaction or experience before. I shouldn't have let her try again after the first go around and flare up, but she tried a second time in the same sitting and it was beyond painful. I had a reaction of a rash on my eyelids after that of course. A month and a half later, eyelids calm, I made an appointment with the first person I had ever gone to there. The application was fine but I now for three afterwards have been having rashes on my eyelids. The dermatologist has said it was from the first time around and now it's an irritant. The spa is beautiful. The people are nice. Don't do the lash tinting. I have long lasting physical inflammation from it now. Find another place. read more

I really enjoyed my visit to Cowshed spa. I had the Ultimate pedicure and it was pretty ultimate. I was a bit confused upon arrival as it was my first visit and I think it was assumed that I had been there before...I indicated that I was new and I would have thought I'd get a bit more info (I had to ask where the bathrooms were)... but they were very nice when I asked for help. The pedicure itself is luxurious. Very cozy. You can watch tv, read a book, etc all in your nice comfy (and giant) chair. At first I thought the arm cushions were sort of oddly placed but quickly forgot about that when I started leaning back and relaxing. My toes were well taken care of - I opted not for the little machine that smoothes your feet - but for the normal files. This is better for my ticklish feet and they didn't seem to mind at all. I really enjoyed my head, shoulder, arm massage as well as a nice leg/foot massage. The technician was nice, but not chatty (totally fine with me), but she also recommended a great cream for my dry feet (which is sadly out of stock everywhere....). I liked that she was helpful but not overbearing about it. The space is relaxing. Wood, muted colors. The tea service is adorable and well worth getting just because it's served in such a pretty way (I had the ginger tea-spicy but good). If you want a cocktail/drink/etc you may have to ask for it. I was never asked after I did request a menu but I was so relaxed and resting that I didn't even want it until my toes were drying (with my tea service). A great spot for an indulgent pedicure. Not a quick spot to run at lunch, but good for a treat. Super nice staff and pricy but good for a special day! read more

I headed over for a spa day with my best friend to celebrate her birthday. When I reserved our mani pedis I was told they would offer us some bubbly for her special day. When arrived that did not happen. That was disappointing. We had a great time nonetheless. Our mani pedis were delightful, and beautifully done. Ambiance is calm and very spa like. I'm happy with the over all service, trusting that little details will be taken care of is lost. Otherwise I would have rated 5-stars. This lack of follow thru is a negative for me. However, if asked, will I return....yes! Ladies that took care of my friend and I made it worth while. I'd be happy to give another chance. read more

Cow Shed Spa Chicago is a part of my weekly routine! I really look forward to my weekly experience there seeing the wonderfully professional and courteous staff like Tiffany and Efie who greet you warmly upon entry through to Jaron who has to be one of the best barbers in the city of Chicago and beyond. I travel often for professional and personal endeavors. I often can't wait to return to Chicago to be cut by him. He takes his profession very seriously and it shows by of his technique, well versed knowledge of his craft, professional well studied thoughtful products and equipment. I can't say enough about him or Cow Shed Spa Chicago. Treat yourself! You deserve it! read more

I'll start by saying the amenities here are extremely nice. They give you a body pillow to hold, you get your own personal tv, etc. the salon is extremely clean and serene. I thought the girl doing my pedi did a good job, however the massage portion and scraping of the bottom of my feet was kind of lacking . For how expensive the pedicure is here ($60), i was left with a little bit to be desired . I would come back if someone got me it as a gift , but I can't say I'm hooked as much as I thought I would be. Their men's salon looks very nice though so I am thinking of buying my husband a haircut / shave there. It's similarly priced to state street barbers, Floyd's , etc. read more

My husband booked me services here for an anniversary gift. The staff was extremely nice and accommodating. I got a massage and a mani pedi. Ebony did my mani pedi and she was wonderful. She even brought me a piece of cake after going on and on about how good the chocolate cake is. My only complaint is that I'm not sure what brand of nail polish they use but it started chipping by the next morning. It has only been three days and the polish is peeling off in big pieces. My one nail peeled off in one giant piece. read more

I had an absolutely wonderful massage with Riley. I did the 90 minute Bespoke body therapy. We went with dry brushing and the massage to follow.

Don't hesitate to book. I can't wait to come back. read more

But happen chance, I walked into Cowshed Spa a few years ago. We were living in the West Loop, quite literally up the street from Soho House, and I needed a haircut. That's when I met Jaron, the resident barber there. The experience was truly a great one from the moment I sat down on his chair. From the easy conversation to the haircut I walked out with, the service was simply the best. Today, my wife and I no longer live in the West Loop, but I still go back to Cowshed Spa to see Jaron every time I need a haircut. It's always worth the trip, and then some. read more

Edit: I'm back with 2 more stars. I'm glad I wrote my last review because the manager reached out and scheduled another massage on the house to make it right. This massage was MUCH better. I don't feel like she neglected any area and I definitely felt relaxed when I left. It was still a strange massage - the therapist would put pressure on certain points on my back and then just pulse and have me take a few deep breaths. It was strange. So while this experience was much better, I can't give 5 stars because I've had 5 star massages and I don't think this was it. read more

Would have been five stars had the service at point of sale have been classier. Explanation: spent $235 pre-gratuity on a massage and facial for my girlfriend. Upon arriving, the employee at the desk immediately asked me if I wanted to leave the standard 15-20 percent tip on my card. This is before services had been rendered. About an hour and a half later, I went to the desk to settle the bill. She asked the same question again. I told her I'd be fine calculating the tip. At this point I still haven't seen my girlfriend to gauge the service and the sales person is now asking if I need a calculator... I have been blessed to come from a somewhat affluent family on the Northshore, in addition to having worked in the service industry on and off for close to a decade. I'm well-aware of tipping etiquette. An extremely low-class move to push gratuity at all, let alone that aggressively. Instead of leaving happily and contemplating my next visit, I left with a bitter taste in my mouth, considering different options for the next time I treat my significant other to the equivalent of a car payment. read more

BITSSSSSHHHH!!!!! This place is nice gurl! We sat at the bar in SoHo house prior to our pedis (ma and I), the cocktail the gal made me was well worth the $14. They didn't have raspberry vodka so she made it! Wa-bammmm! It was so good I can drink the basic shit anymore! The waiting room is kinda boring, but clean and offers things to buy. They ran 10 min late so they offered to get us a glass of wine (good shit too) AND, it was on the house! Wa-what!?!? Das right gurl! 10 min late and booze for ma and I, no complaints. The pedi was the best I have ever had (we got the ultimate) and it's WELL worth the money! I wanna try other services cuz this place is a rich persons heaven, on a middle class budget! 6 stars bitsssshhhhes! read more

Yeah, this wasn't what I expected. I hope my boyfriend didn't pay a lot for this :/ I was misled in the service I thought I would receive. I came in with a bit of gel polish on my toes which I can usually get removed at any other salon. Edit: Supposedly there was a disclosure that my boyfriend was supposed to get with reserving the service. After we talked to the manager he checked, there was NO notification of that. My boyfriend doesn't know a lot about nails but he couldn't find any notice regarding this... So he got gipped. I feel bad because he just wanted to plan something special for me. read more

Two weeks ago I booked a speedy Mani and Reflexology I enjoyed the service so much that I added on (while there) a speedy pedicure and a massage. I'm so glad I had the foresight to use the valet for my cat. I spent about four hours there. Valencia perfectly manicured my nails in a cozy oversized leather chair with a comfy lap pillow similar to a boppy. I want one of these!! Every person there left seemed to leave more relaxed than when they arrived. After my Mani, I had a reflexology session with John. I hadn't had this service before and wanted to try something new. The massage rooms are spacious. The shower / bathroom is well appointed and offers a lovely ams cozy sitting area. My masseuse John, escorted me through the hall to the assigned room. John has strong, experienced hands. After a foot workout, revealing some back pain issues (that I had not mentioned but he noted because of areas of tension in my foot) I added a massage directly after. Heaven!! I was looking for an invigorating massage and I got it. John asked about my preferences in scents, oil or lotion, and even added heat to my feet during the back massage. He also added a hot towel because I had so many knots to work out. It was amazing. Following I rested a little before getting up. John patiently waited and brought me a bottle of water. Needed it! I made my way back to where I started and ended with a flawless pedicure. Soooo I booked for two weeks later to get reflexology, massage, polish change and an ultimate pedicure. read more

Cowshed Spa is amazing. I have lots of love for this place! First off, this is the only Cowshed location that is open to the public i.e. Non members of Soho House. Naturally, the spa uses Cowshed products from the UK. I've tried the Cowshed Manicure (45 mins) and Cowshed Pedicure (60 mins) and they're absolutely pampering. The scent of the sea salt scrub and moisturizer are lovely. You sit on a very comfy armchair and they give you large pillow to rest your arms and elbows. Your soak your feet in a cute white enamel bucket. They use two brands of nail polish: Cheeky and Essie. Cheeky is a UK brand. I was told that when the spa opened, the Cowshed Spa team from the UK came over to train the employees so that there's consistency in service across locations. I'm already planning on returning for the other services- massage and facial. read more

I badly needed both a massage and a pedicure but my budget only allowed for one. I booked the Ultimate Pedicure and it was the perfect blend of both! First, everyone here is so friendly and welcoming! Grab a drink upstairs at The Allis and bring it with you - or they'll give you water, tea or coffee gratis when you check in. They had an excellent choice of colors. The treatment started with a soak then Denise went to work on my much-neglected feet (I was honestly ashamed at how bad they'd gotten). She did the usual filing and cuticle clean up, then used an electric file on my heels. I'd never had someone use that before and my heels now feel baby soft. Next, there was a scrub on my feet and calves, very invigorating. She applied a mask to my feet then gave me a 15 min shoulder and scalp massage that had me zoned out and blissful. Then she massaged my feet and calves before applying polish. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment with Denise - she is so friendly and did such a wonderful job of making me feel welcome and relaxed. That's definitely the vibe here, attentive and friendly, not stuffy. I booked my next appointment on the way out the door, which I rarely do, but I want to to back asap. read more

Rustic chic decor and cozy atmosphere. I AM IN LOVE! I decided to treat myself to a spa service for my "winter feet" and I am more than happy with the results! I did a Google search for places in Chicago that focuses on removing dead skin due to "winter feet" and the Cowshed spa was the only one I found. After a visit to the website and reading the previous yelp reviews I decided to just pull the trigger. I was concerned about the chairs and if they would be comfortable to relax in. They were awesome! They also give you a "B-Pillow" for you lap that is perfect for reading a book or magazine. My technician was fabulous! (I am terrible with names and kicking myself because I can't recall it at the moment) When I explained the my feet were terrible she was excited for the challenge, lol. She was very nice and thorough throughout the whole service. The pedicure itself was AMAZING! I am VERY particular about my nails and always wary to try a new salon but, as I've said, I was beyond pleased. They use an electric file for calluses and the technician took her time and was very thorough going over my feet at least four times. A mask is then applied and set for 10 minutes before being removed with a nice warm towel. The polish was quick but precise and although I usually like 2-3 coats the one coat is classy and perfect. I highly recommend and will be back for another pedicure and to try the other services. I've been on Yelp forever but HAVE NEVER posted feedback so it's saying a lot that this was my first. BTW, Very cute for a large party. read more

Cowshed Spa Chicago - First time at Cowshed...beyond pleased...I will be returning! - Skin Care Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I went to Cowshed because I received a gift card. I signed up for a mani-pedi. It was a wonderful experience, very relaxing , and I certainly felt pampered. The two beauticians I had - Yasmin and Adriana , were fabulous, very sweet, considerate, and professional. Now the things that were less than stellar: 1. the beautiful nail polish on my fingernails chipped the next day , and 2 days later it also chipped on my toenails. I appreciate that they use all natural products .....but I wish it lasted longer especially for a very steep price. 2. they have several TVs running different shows, which is great. However , they had the show Botched on which is all about plastic surgery gone wrong and redone....it felt inappropriate since the spa is AL natural :) just a poor choice I guess. read more

I love Cowshed Spa. The Ultimate Pedicure is absolutely phenomenal. It includes a scalp massage and aroma therapy. The staff is always warm, accommodating and friendly. They go above and beyond to make sure the customer is happy and well taken care of. I was disappointed that they stopped serving food because of COVID (completely understandable due to the global pandemic) but beautiful Rachel made sure I had snacks. I'm 9 months pregnant and I couldn't be happier with this Spa. I will always come back and I'm so glad they are open again! read more

I really enjoyed my experience at Cowshed. Let me first say that my massage was amazing! The 90 minute deep tissue left me feeling much more relaxed, limber and open! The staff was very welcoming and the facilities were clean and inviting. I really enjoyed the body wash and lotion they had in the women's locker room. :) My only caution (not complaint) is that if you're expecting the full spa experience where you can spend half the day relaxing (I.e. sauna, steam room, hot tub, etc...) then Cowshed will miss the mark but if you're looking for a way to destress and pamper yourself then you'll be extremely pleased! read more

I absolutely love this place! I try to come for my birthday as a treat to myself. The place smells amazing. The staff is so sweet and kind and the facility is spotless with a relaxing environment. There's an area for you to place your items in a locker (which comes with a lock) and you're provide with a robe and flip-flops. I have to use all hypoallergenic products because of my allergies and I have yet to have a reaction to their products. The workers really listen to your needs, target your problem area, and make sure you leave satisfied. I would highly recommend this place they're amazing. read more
