    Daindruff, red itchy scalp next day. Not recommended. Got charged for taking them off
    Angelika S.

    Unfortunately. I did my extensions second time, she put glue too close to my skin and I had bad allergic reaction. After 3 days she took them off (no time for earlier appointment). And she charged me 50$ extra for taking them off. I was loyAl customer over one year. I won't be back never to get my hair done over there...

    Senior colorist Marie helped make this amazing new fresh look for me!
    Ashley P.

    Mixed feelings.. below you will read my initial appts being awesome.. but as I progressed through my years of being a client to Marie, I was treated worse & worse, and neglected when my appt was severely delayed, with no "oh my gosh I am so sorry that previous client took so long", nothing... She was like mad & annoyed that I was there... Um hello... I trust you... I pay you hundreds of dollars each time I sit in your chair... I have since quit... but you can still read some of my good experience I initially had here:"Look at this stuff, isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think my collection's complete? Wouldn't you think I'm the girl...The girl who has everything? " - The Little Mermaid song, I am now basically a Little Mermaid... I LOVE MY NEW locks, and feel like the girl, the girl who has everythiiing thanks to amazing hair colorist Marie at the Life Spa! I was initially nervous about switching from the colorist I have used for the last couple years at the Asha Aveda Salon in Streets of Woodfield, but she was gone on Maternity leave, and I needed a new lady, fast! (Not dissing Asha Aveda, still a very nice salon, just wanted to try somewhere new) So I spoke to the manager Casey, a lovely sweetheart who never forgets a face, (or hair!) and showed her pictures of what I would like to have done, and asked her who she would recommend to best fit and be most comfortable to help me achieve the specific look I wanted (see my pics I posted here!) and she immediately, and without question recommended "Marie" for me! I do believe Marie is a "Senior Stylist" or something similar to that and let me tell you, she has mad skills! Jamie at the front desk patiently helped me search through Marie's schedule to find a time soon that matched up with my schedule, I just couldn't wait any longer, I was dying to get my hair color done...just beyond excited! I was able to get in very soon, it was like 2 days later, for a very early morning appointment on account of my very long very thick hair. When I arrived that morning, Marie greeted me and seated me down in her station, and I pulled out my photos, and my pinterest board pictures of ohh about 100 pics of inspiration for the right shade of red, and the look I wanted to achieve. I was so nervous because I've seen the communication go so wrong before between client and stylist, and they end up just doing what they think will be "best" without listening to what their client truly wants... I don't mean here, or even the other Aveda in Schaumburg, just... previously... and it's horrifying, especially for such a big, drastic, bright change! You want it to go smoothly... AND IT ABSOLUTELY DID! WITHOUT A HITCH!!! She showed me their hair color sample swatches and once she had a good idea of exactly the red shade I had in mind, she popped in the back to quickly mix up the custom color, while I looked in the mirror and said farewell to my faithful all blonde locks. The girl working at reception (who's name now slips my mind, I'm so sorry, I'm usually really good at making mental note of names so I can mention their amazing work in my reviews!) offered me a beverage, and she even went over to the LifeCafe to grab me a coffee (on account of it being hella-early morning... well, in my book... this girl needed some coffee stat) which was delish, I have never had coffee from the LifeCafe in LTF before, and it did not disappoint! Once the color was mixed, Marie and I got to chatting, like ladies do when at the salon, and she is a super cool chick! We had a good time learning about each other's lives as our sure to be long-time client-stylist relationship blossomed, and she was painting what looked like blood on my head, wasn't weird at all, because I was so super excited, and felt I trusted her to help me with the super fun red-blonde ombre look I wanted! (again, check out the pix.. before & after.. omg love it!) Once all the color was applied, I only had to sit for like... 15 minutes maybe? for it to finish processing, can't remember the exact time... then it was time to head back to the bowl to wash out! Having someone else wash your hair feels simply maaagical.. like a mini-massage for your scalp... Marie custom chose from their long line of products my shampoo & conditioner, and I learned that since Red is the fastest color to fade, washing it in cool/cold water will help lock in the color longer, and fade less... AWESOME! After washing all the color out, we headed back to her station where she round-brushed-blow-dried my hair into the most beautiful, sleek style... once it was finally starting to dry I could see the finished color... and OHH MAAHH GOSH! IT WAS PERFECT! EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED!!! EXACTLY!!! I was so relieved, and elated at my new look, it seriously could have turned to a scary shade, or had the risk to look something fiercely funky, but Marie's expert skills made it absolutely 100% perfect and just what I wanted.

    balayage done terrbily

    First, I want to say that I would have given this place 5 stars if it was purely based on the nail tech - Rachel!! She's the best. But this review & rating is about my TERRIBLE BALAYAGE experience. Similar experience as the reviewer on June 21, 2017, but mine occurred early June. I think we both had the same tech, Sarah. She convinced me while i was getting my nails done that she can do a great bayalage on my hair. We discussed what I wanted, and the main request was to keep it more ashy and less copper/warm colors. The result....5hours, $200+, all copper. I went back to Sarah to get it fixed, see my photo. No cost, but I tipped b/c I felt bad for the time. When I got home, noticed that it was still hideous. I could not walk out without my hair in a bun. Then I went to senior stylist, Marie, at no cost, and I tipped again. Result now? Down $300, dark roots and white blonde ends which is NOT what I wanted. I ended up having to go to a Senior Colorist at Mario Tricoci. She did an amazing job fixing the copper color and fixing the choppy/blocks of color in my hair. That was another $100+. Now it's August, and I'm writing this review because I get upset every time I wash my hair as my hair is SOOOOO damaged that my natural curls are just flat and stringy now. I'm now buying the most expensive products in the market to try to revive my lifeless hair. I don't want anyone else to end up having the same experience and losing so much money. I don't think these girls are trained to provide these very complicated hair techniques.

    As you can see Rachel does a wonderful no chip and the french manicure is gel. My nails have never been this strong and healthy.

    I previously had Marie cut my hair but, since she was out and I needed a cut on short notice, I went for Kim.

I have curly hair that I like to straighten, so it's extremely important that I have someone who can work with it. The staff does a fantastic job!

I had hoped for a facial and the Aveda Aqua Massage. When I checked in for my appointments, they asked for my Groupon for the Aveda Sensory Facial. The Groupon was scanned and nothing was said to me. Not until I was in my robe and in the treatment room. The aesthetician told me that I had used a Groupon in the past (which must've been years ago) and they either couldn't honor it or I could use it towards paying the full price of the facial. I forgot if I had used one years ago. The aesthetician talked to me about my massage. And it was just a salt scrub. I said no it was supposed to be the aqua Massage. And she said that wasn't what was booked. And I don't do those you'd have to see a regular masseuse for that. I just agreed to go along because I wanted to have a nice experience, but it wasn't looking too good. The salt scrub was OK but if it lasted a half hour I would be surprised. Between the "hour" facial and the body scrub I was in the room for maybe an hour and a half. The service was OK. Then I went into the steam shower area, which is always nice. I got dressed and I went to check out at the front desk I wanted a copy of the receipt because of the difference in cost with the facial and the massage. The woman said we only email them. I should've waited for my email before leaving. When I did receive the email I had started driving. So on my receipt, they did not give me the full $79 credit that I paid for my Groupon. They only gave me $63 in credit. Also, there's a $4 additional charge on the receipt. I called back that afternoon and had to leave a message because the recording said they were busy. No one returned my call. I called back the following day and was told that the additional $4 charge was to help offset the cost of the keeping the exceptional experience at the Asha Salon Spa??? I was told that they only applied $63 of my Groupon because they have to pay Groupon the $16 back. And that's how Groupon makes money. I have never heard of that before and I've used Groupon for years. They stood by their comments. I sent an email to Groupon who was supposed to get back to me within a week. I have not heard from them. At this point, I don't think I'll be using Groupon. If I do use Asha Salon spa in the future, I would make sure and double check I have the services I wanted, the prices and the length of the treatment clearly defined before I checked in for my appointment. It was clearly disappointing and not the experience that I've had in the past.

This is different from your ordinary massage places. Here, they use Acupressure and Reflexology. That means they may use their elbows and sometimes even knees to dig deep. For the most part they don't take your clothes off and use a bunch of oils. They typically cover you with a sheet and use very little oils if any. For your feet they use oils and sometimes on your neck. Give it a try.

About a week ago I slipped a rib out of place while wearing a corset at a costume party. Beauty is dangerous and painful. I've been using a heating pad and lots of Advil for my rib pain drowning my sorrows in Miller Lite and Sons of Anarchy episodes on Netflix but I digress. I set out to do two things today return a coat to Eddie Bauer and get a kick ass massage. I did both and the massage was truly a mind blowing experience. My masseuse 5'4", 100 lbs soaking wet started out slow and I thought I'd have to ask for someone tougher. About 5 minutes after her warm up she mounted the table and I realized she had one foot planted on my right hip and the other foot on my left shoulder. I've had massages at Oriental Chi before but this woman was part Spider Man and Wonder Woman in one. After an hour of being elbowed along the spine, kneed in both of my thighs while she practically sat on me I was relaxed and totally pain free. I want to see this woman next week. I have no idea what her name is but WOW! My back feels fantastic, my rib pain is a distance memory and I can put my heating pad away. Oriental Chi is an awesome massage experience and you don't pay for fluff. You pay for 60 minutes of deep tissue massage for $56. My massage was so good I tipped the lady $24. She earned it.

I was really surprised that they offered a package deal with massage, mani/pedi, and facial. I never got my nails done or had a facial before, so it seemed like a great deal. Mani/pedi: Was good. The nail tech worked quickly and efficiently, and my nails turned out alright. It's not perfect and probably needed just a bit more attention, but for a basic mani/pedi, it was good. Facial: Was quite nice. Having never done one before, it was pleasant having the face massage. I have no idea what products were used, but they seemed to work ok for my skin. The moisturizer was a bit heavy for me, something I mentioned at the start being a common problem for me, but it didn't seem to really be an issue in the long run. My skin felt nice after. Massage: This is where things fell short for me. It was a 60 minute Swedish massage, but it almost felt like a deep tissue. It's been a couple of days, and my neck and shoulders are still sore. At some points, it was downright painful, which is the opposite from a relaxing experience. Overall, it's a decent place with friendly staff and a wide range of services. The place itself seems a little dated and can use a face lift, but the back rooms are nice and clean. For a one-time experience, it was okay, and the deal is very nice, but the staff doesn't seem professionally trained to do massage or are just very heavy-handed. Overall, we both still enjoyed our experience, but it was out of the way for us and nothing was so exceptional to warrant another visit. 3.5 stars.
