This along with sitting 10+ hour days in front of a computer makes for bad times sometimes. I cannot afford $70+ dollars each month for a possibly mediocre massage. Here comes Relax Center. It is not the prettiest place to look at, and the person massaging you may or may not smell of cigarettes. What sets this place apart is that you can get a one hour massage for $30 plus tip. I try to tip generously because I am unsure of what the employees are being compensated. There is a language barrier here because the majority of employees only speak Chinese. The person at the front desk speaks English so she can help with special requests or questions. Massages can be hot or miss depending on your masseuse. I have been to a few foot spas in the area and find this place is less choreographed and is able to work on your trouble spots. I also feel like you get a longer back massage but that could be me. Don't forget to pick up a punchcard on the way out!

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.

I've been coming here for 2-3 years and the level of quality has remained consistent, the rooms are clean, peaceful, and dinner with lighting and music to reflect and promote a truly relaxing atmosphere. The med spas charging $120+ are shameful as I realized that the level of mastery does not even come close to what they premise: $70/1 hour deep tissue massage and I walk out of here feeling like a new person. I highly highly recommend to anyone!!!

My boyfriend and I booked a couples massage on Sunday. We enjoy getting massages together and have…read morebeen looking for a place that offers couples massages. We left extremely disappointed. We booked deep tissue massages. My masseuse used way too much lotion, didn't apply any pressure and just aggressively rubbed oil onto my body. At one point, she intended to apply pressure to the arch of my feet (which are sensitive due to my plantar fasciitis) but her nails were not short so it felt more like being scratched. No one introduced themselves to us, they walked in while we were undressing without knocking or warning. During our massages, a bell kept going off. My masseuse walked out of the room 3 times, talking to someone about other clients. If I had been there alone, I would have walked out. This was the worst massage I've ever had. We will stick to VRC in Skokie. At least we receive quality massages.

He knows exactly where you need more focus and exactly how much pressure to apply. He always takes the time to listen to your concerns beforehand and makes sure to address every single one of them.

It is always a relief to get back to Skokie and have a proper session with him. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment with Vince. There is no way you will regret it.
