Linda and Ella gave my husband and I an amazing Swedish Couples Massage w/ Lymphatic Drainage. This new location just opened directly across the street from their original location. This was our first time as customers of theirs, so we don't have much to compare it to, but the new location is beautiful. The decor is bright and welcoming, and the treatment rooms are cozy and relaxing.
We mentioned a Groupon offer and they honored it in-store, but we did get upsold on a "Healing Treatment" that cost us $30 more each. It was supposed to include an 8- minute foot soak (we soaked for 4 minutes, I timed it), calming chimes to help us relax, and the Lymphatic Drainage portion of the massage. This didn't extend our massage length, but that was understood. The foot soak set-up is somewhat of a work-in-progress, if you ask me. We sat on adorable, furry stools placed precariously just inside the doorway of our treatment room. My husband rested against the wall while I sat in the middle of the room with no back support. It made more sense, to me, that we should've been sat against the opposite wall. The water was warm and felt good, but the door was open the entire time and we didn't get our full 8 minutes, which made it less than relaxing.
Our full-body massages ended 4 minutes early, but I feel that this is pretty normal for this type of "spa"/ massage parlor. We both thoroughly enjoyed the Eucalyptus aromatherapy - you are able to choose a scent of your own. The hot stones were nice as well. They also used what I believe was a disposable, heated eye mask and a weighted heat pad that was laid atop our tummies. We've had lots of massages, but use of these items were new to us. We left feeling relaxed and sleepy!
P.S. Parking in the area was the typical, Chicago-area nightmare, despite what I was told when I called to inquire. Had we known this, we would've Ubered or caught a Lyft!
P.P.S. One more thing, paying in cash saves you a 3% card processing fee. You're welcome! read more
