I couldn't stop gathering gifts for friends - soaps, perfumes, etc. Personally, it's so good to know we have a store in Chicago that's specializes in natural/ alternative solutions to health issues - from teas to supplements, and so many formulations with clean ingredients. I can't wait to return!

Today after putting in a good sized online order, I was curious to check how prices lined up with Life Spring. I still have some containers of supplements I bought when I was last in the area so I was able to make comparisons. TO MY SURPRISE, THE PRICES AT LIFE SPRING WERE EQUAL OR LESS THAN THE ONLINE SUPPLIERS THAT I THOUGHT WOULD HAVE BEEN CHEAPER! So, to anyone tempted to save money and buy online, forget it! You will do as good or better with Life Spring! Plus, you will be dealing with some real nice local people who deserve your business!

A-ok. I stopped in to get some supplements and found the couple I wanted fairly easily. When I came…read morein, the employee greeted me and let me know I if I needed help to let him know. I found some things pretty easy, but ended up not purchasing anything in store and instead looked online. In part that was because I was on my lunch hour and couldn't find things, and then when other customers were in I wasn't going to barge in and demand his attention. Also, one of the items I wanted was BOGO free, but there was only a single bottle of it so I needed to get it somewhere else. I can't help but wonder if it's something they only have one bottle of, because when I looked online for curbside pickup I found other stores only had one as well. I ended up having to get that item shipped to me. The store is very neat and tidy, which makes it pleasant to shop, but I hate that I have no idea where to begin with some things. For me, it's just easier to buy online for curbside pickup at the store.

My New Year's resolution for 2020 is to focus more on my overall health and well-being. The way I…read moreplan to accomplish this is to work on taking care of myself from the inside out. I discovered the Vitamin Shoppe a few years ago but only managed to make regular trips recently. Instead of depending wholly on pharmaceuticals for my health, I decided to look into holistic medicine. The Vitamin Shoppe carries a multitude of supplements ranging from anything that ails you to nutrition enhancers. I've found beneficial herbal supplements such as Turmeric and added them to my daily multivitamins. After a few weeks, I've noticed dramatic changes in my energy levels in addition to my hair and skin. I've even discovered a few aromatherapy essential oils to add to my humidifier/diffuser. The staff at every location I've visited are very friendly and helpful. There's always someone nearby asking if I need help with anything. There have been times when I had to ask about a product's function and each time, the employees I've met are knowledgeable about what they sell. If they have a not in stock item found on their website but not on the shelves, they make an effort to order it online and send it to your home free of charge. Their quality attention to the consumer is what I value about the chain and it's that level of consistency which makes me a loyal visitor. Overall if you're looking to be health conscious in the New Year, the Vitamin Shoppe is one of the best places to start.

Store was totally empty and I one customer service person was standing outside. Not a big deal figured she was just on break, so I go inside with her asking about their vape selection as I suffer from severe anxiety and was hoping to get something to help, her very first suggestion was to go to dispensary 33 down the street to get THC marijuana products. I tried to explain that I don't handle marijuana well but was looking for suggestions for helping with anxiety for which she had not a single one, I try to ask about delta 8 which is new to me and the difference between that and other CBD products for which she didn't have an answer. I ended up picking a few items on my own without any guidance from the customer service person and left. Spent $120 on items that I hope may help but who knows. I doubt I'll go back again anytime soon especially when you have other stores with very knowledgeable staff. Really disappointed to see how the store declined

The people at the next register same situation but the cashier only took the i.d. of the person buying. The stockier latina lady that was ringing us up was clearly lying. Product was also no good.

It feels like a place to shop if you want to virtue signal. I wanted to look into more sustainable options and decrease the amount of plastic I consume via containers. I had gotten a few things (bar shampoo, toothpaste pellets, etc) online at the Zero Waste store, but prefer to keep it local whenever I can. When I heard about E.F. I decided to check it out, but was surprised at the prices, which are astronomical for what you get. I expected bulk pricing and BYO containers to result in better pricing, but was mistaken. In spite of the cost, I gave a couple products a try thinking perhaps the quality would be superior quality, and walked away with a small lotion stick that was $20 and has a weird smell, and some bulk lotion (orange blossom, I think) that smells good but wasn't very moisturizing and cost $13 for maybe about a cup worth. According to my kitchen scale, about 5 oz. Only a select few people are going to be able to lotion up through a Chicago winter for $2 an ounce when you could double the amount with a store brand. Good on you if you can extract some wealth from the people who have too much, but this is just not a store for everyone. I found some other small businesses and switched to bar soap and lotion to avoid buying more plastic, and there are a couple online options for cleaning products and such.

I visited the store, for the first time, on Sunday, January 26th, 2025. I purchased 3 hair bonnets…read more I got home and went to try on one of the bonnets but it was small and the elastic band didn't stretch. It looked like a child's bonnet. Since the 1st one didn't fit I didn't open the other 2. Today, Sunday, February 2nd, 2025, I returned to the store so I could exchange all 3 bonnets for bigger ones. An elderly Asian man was helping me. He was nice and attentive. He approached the Asian lady, pictured, to tell her my issue and before I could say anything, she walked up with a nasty and condescending attitude. She tells me because I opened the package I couldn't exchange it nor get a store credit (they don't offer refunds). On the receipt it says all products must be in its original packaging and not used. I informed her I didn't use it because it doesn't fit. That meant nothing to her. The cashier inspected the bonnet and she also said it was either defective or for a child. She told the cashier to walk away and once again let me know she wasn't going to do anything regarding the bonnet. She tells me I can exchange the other 2 for a different brand. I said I can't tell the size inside of the package. If I buy another one and it's not what it says then once again you won't let me exchange it. She said that's not her problem. I returned the other 2, purchased some hair oil and left. I don't appreciate being treated like trash where I spend my money. I wish I looked at the reviews prior to coming here. Please don't give this woman your money. *The photo of the woman was taken from another reviewer.*
