Cathie was so sweet. I did not see any reviews for waxing, but here's mine. After going to Bliss…read morefor bikini waxing for many years, I was lost as to where to go to next. Pandemic hit and then a need for one went on hold. Unaware that females with blonde hair don't get waxed, according to a family member who laughed when I asked where she goes, I was on my own. I searched near me, and found Cathie's business in the same storefront as a salon, deVine. I sent and email and didn't hear back, so I called, lvm, and she returned my call. Happy to get scheduled before a vacation, I went in two days later. I was a bit confused when I walked into deVine. But hey, I am a novice to other waxing experiences. They called up Cathie, and she led me to the back room. I simple clean, room. It was filled with tubes or lotions and I recognized the labels. She asked me to "get ready" then lay on a table, facing the tubes on the shelf. I was a bit put off without any sheet, but again, this was not Bliss spa. Long story short, Cathie was easy to talk to and I was distracted from her work on me. I felt no pain. And maybe it was the easy conversation and feeling like she knew what to do, after she asked for my opinion of what to take off. I would definitely go back to her. The price was absolutely fair, and I hope I tipped well enough. Do get your bikini waxed by her. While the back room is a bit rough around the edges, it is very clean, and she tells me she does lots of facials. Who knows, maybe when I get back from my vacation I'll be back for one of her other many services. She was greets to let me know, that face products that list sunscreen have such a minimal amount in them, and suggested a product from a store, for me to bring. Lastly, she doesn't push her facial products but she can order them if someone asks. I will be getting her sunscreen recommendation when I return and would go back for another waxing as she did a great job!

The environment was peaceful and soothing, which made it easy to fully relax and unwind.

From…read morethe moment I walked in, she made me feel comfortable, listened carefully to my concerns, and took the time to explain everything so I felt completely at ease. You can tell she's incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, and genuinely cares about helping her clients achieve natural, beautiful results without ever making you look overdone. My Botox turned out even better than I expected--I look refreshed, natural, and still completely expressive. Best of all, she's the only person who has been able to effectively relieve my jaw tension and headaches with Botox, and the difference has been life-changing. She also has an incredible eye for facial aesthetics--my lips always look beautifully balanced and natural, and my jawline has never looked better. Victoria is honest, talented, professional, and truly passionate about helping her clients look and feel their best. I trust her completely and honestly wouldn't let anyone else touch my face. If you're looking for someone who combines exceptional skill with a genuine passion for what she does, I highly recommend Victoria. She is absolutely the best!

Guess who just found out her FSA money can be used for massages?!?!?…read more Yup, this girl. I've had some issues with previous massage therapists not really wanting to touch me after discussing some of my body issues (srsly, if scoliosis freaks you out, maybe go back to school for a bit?), so I called Olga and we spent a ton of time on the phone discussing a number of issues I wanted worked on, how to approach them, and what I could expect. I knew after that phone call I found my happy massage place :) Olga's studio is on the second floor of a building in the heart of downtown Wilmette. It's bright, open, airy, and super welcoming. Also, since Olga offers facials, I saw a ton of awesome looking skincare that I can't wait to dig into on my next visit. I got a 60 minute therapeutic massage (which was truly 60 minutes), which can include anything from cupping, to deep tissue, to swedish massage, and man, did I get my butt kicked. I had no idea how ridiculously tight I had gotten, and how difficult it was for me to just relax. Olga worked on everything we had discussed, and at the end I was so impressed I bought a 5 pack (for only $475!), and am getting my husband in to see her asap. Yup, from now on Olga's massages are gonna be #1 when it comes to making sure my old butt gets the maintenance it needs.

Great massage experience. Highly Recommend for both relaxation and to treat muscle strains.read more

The membership here is easy to sign up for and nearly impossible to cancel, and after three months…read moreof this I do not believe that is an accident. My wife requested cancellation on May 7, 2026. She was told a manager had to call her back. One called on May 15 and she missed it, with no way to finish the request on her own and no email address offered. She called again June 14, got a callback around June 20, and the membership still was not cancelled. We were charged in May, June, and July (so far). The terms say cancellation happens upon receipt of your request. They say nothing about manager approval, and I could not find that requirement on the Hand & Stone website either. It was only explained verbally, after we had already been charged. In practice, the only person who can complete your cancellation is someone you cannot reach on demand, a missed call sends you back to the start, and billing never pauses. Other reviews here describe the same thing. One star is for the membership and billing process specifically. Signing up took five minutes and leaving has taken three months, and a door that only opens from the inside by someone who is never there is not a membership, it is a trap with nice lighting.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with this studio was disappointing from…read morebeginning to end. I requested that my membership be placed on hold for three months due to a shoulder injury back in 4/2026. Despite making that request, I was still charged the following month. I called a second time, explained the situation again, and was assured that the freeze would be taken care of. Months later, I discovered that the freeze had never actually been implemented! After calling three separate times in two days to speak with the manager, Jamie, she finally returned my call and told me that membership freezes are not effective until you speak directly with a manager. This was never explained to me during any of my previous calls. Had I been told that a manager's approval was required, I would have gladly waited for a callback or followed up immediately! Instead, I was told that she had left me one voicemail months earlier that I never received, and because I didn't return that call, nothing could be done. She refunded one month's charge but refused to backdate the freeze to when I originally requested it, despite the fact that I had contacted the studio multiple times and was never informed that any additional approval was needed. The most shocking part of the experience was how it ended. Rather than trying to resolve the issue or acknowledge the communication breakdown on their end, Jamie cancelled my membership and informed me that I was no longer welcome at the Northbrook studio because I continued to question the handling of my account. Customer service should involve listening, communicating policies clearly, and taking responsibility when mistakes are made. Instead, I was left paying for months of membership I can't use because of an injury, and then was essentially banned for asking that the situation be corrected. As for the services themselves, they were inconsistent. The quality of the massage therapists varied significantly from visit to visit, and I also had a facial that was underwhelming. Between the poor communication, lack of accountability, and how I was ultimately treated as a member, I would never recommend this studio or company!
