I normally visit the Art of Health in Lincolnwood but when I learned of another location in…read moreEvanston, I decided to check them out. When I made a walk in appointment, I was introduced to Anna and Vivian. I was told by both ladies they accept walk-ins and scheduled appointments. I scheduled my massage for later in the week and looked forward to my session. I've made multiple visits to this chain and the massages they provide here are just as good as the Lincolnwood location, if not better. The Tui Na style of massage uses a firm amount of pressure. If you're not accustomed to this style, you may want to tell your therapist to go easy on you. So far I've made two trips to this location and every massage I've received has been phenomenal. I have caught myself snoring multiple times during my sessions. I've realized if someone can push me to that level of relaxation, they've earned high marks in my book. Every time I leave, I feel relaxed and sedated. I'm guessing it's from the post massage high I get after releasing all tension/knots from my body. This chain has attractive pricing. It's roughly a dollar per minute which signals good value for a quality massage. I posted a review for the Lincolnwood location, and I'm assuming their setups are similar. The ambiance is informal given there are no private rooms for table or chair massages. Everything is all set up in one room. If your priority is solely about the ambiance; this might not be the place for you. Rather the focus here is the quality and decent cost of the massage. There is a bit of a language barrier so conversations are kept to a minimum but the staff understands some English to get by. Adjusting to the situation takes some getting used to. My last massage was a 75 minute table and post session, I was given a bottle of water. The parking situation is a little tough compared to the Lincolnwood facility. The Evanston Art of Health only has metered parking. Despite the minor inconvenience, this spot is closer to home so I plan to make this my regular stop.

Unfortunately when I reached out to this massage therapist by calling the number listed here and on…read morethe website, I was immediately sent a text from another number that said "Please text me." Obviously I didn't recognize this number or understand why I was receiving this random message from a random number. So I asked who it is. The response was extremely rude saying "You called me. Who is this?!?" I'm attaching the screenshot of this exchange. For a massage therapist that indicates on their website that they treat clients with dignity and respect, this response to someone reaching out to your business for the very first time is very unprofessional and contradictory to what they proclaim their values are. Obviously won't be pursuing a first appointment here.

Woke up this AM with a terrible neck pain and found Sarah on Yelp. I normally wouldn't look for a massage therapist in Evanston because I live in the city. But I was going to be headed that way for a meeting today and I have never found a great massage therapist in the city so I figured give Evanston a try. Luckily she had a slot in her schedule and fit me in same day. She is easy to talk to. Not too woo-woo. Down to earth, understands basic health and medicine that other massage therapists are sometimes clueless to. She is strong and goes deep without being a bull in a china shop - she is very smooth in her movements. Her office is clean, organized, and had a relaxed vibe. It was quiet too, which I really appreciate as many places I've gone to lately are really loud with thin walls. Plus, I love that it does not have smelly candles or potpourri. It was one of the best massages I've had in Chicago. I think she will be my go-to gal from now on when I'm needing to de-stress or have pain. I live near Andersonville and have tried many massage therapists in my neighborhood, but from now on, I'll be trekking to Evanston to see Sarah.

So disappointed. Expected to get a hour foot massage, was given much more expensive deep tissue…read moremassage. I made an appointment online for an hour foot massage, when I arrived I was only asked "30 minutes or an hour" I assumed they knew I was coming and just said "hour." I was surprised to be taken to a room without footbaths...just figured that maybe they had changed things? Anyways, I don't enjoy deep tissue or heavy massages but I kept thinking while he was massaging "the foot part is coming I'm sure" ... it never did. It was a good massage but not what I had expected. Checking out is when I realized I was given the 70 dollar deep tissue instead of the 48 dollar foot massage. I did express my disappointment/ confusion and they took off 9 dollars. Anyways if you do go make sure you point at the menu at what you want and repeat it. If you made an online appointment don't assume they even looked at it.
