    Tonia O.

    I have read the glowing reviews. I had the opportunity to try this location for myself and the quality and care of the wax job simply were not up to my standards and probably broke a few sanitation rules, too. Read On: Firstly, Eva is nice. There is nothing about her demeanor or her personality to complain of whatsoever. I called Eva before my appointment to ask if I could come in early. She stated that somehow my appointed got accidentally cancelled and it was good that I called (no kidding because I paid for parking and drove from the western suburbs). I met with Eva. I am use to a type of decorum when getting a wax. I'm allowed to get undressed privately and then the esthetician returns to the room. I get it, no use of being coy when undergoing a fairly intimate procedure to begin with, but I thought there was some type of tact needed. Eva just stayed in the room. I explained to Eva what I wanted and she strongly suggested something else. I didn't end up liking her suggestion and so we went with the next best alternative. She slipped on ripping the wax strip on 2 or 3 occasions. Let me tell you, I can only remember that happening to me once 7 years ago and it's just as painful then as it was that moment. She didn't even bother to ask if I was okay. And maybe this is minor. I'm a seasoned waxer and I could only help but think, if this was my first time...I'd run for the hills! This was probably what irritated me the most: i In the middle of my wax, she takes a PHONE CALL!! And proceeds to walk to her schedule book by the sink and discuss appointments. THEN, she places the phone on speaker and sets the phone between my legs on the table. No, I'm not making this up...I wish that I were! That's not sanitary and as I write this, I realized she hadn't washed her hands after handling the phone and her date book. Cross contamination to say the least. And why wasn't she wearing gloves? These questions are a little too late, but in the midst of everything it wasn't what I was initially thinking. And finally, those two things hadn't completely turned me off yet...what did it were the results. I ended up breaking out from her wax job and there were quite a few places where she missed hair. I was also much more sore than I can ever remember. I'm sure many of the women here write glowing reviews as a result of having an established relationship with Eva and/or love her VERY personable demeanor. For me, it's not worth the results. I can think of so many other excellent places to go. I wanted to see what all the hype was about and I am overly disappointed! Why not just one star? Eva's establishment is nice. The location is good. The price is average. I won't go back. Ever.

    The waiting room is beautiful and serene

    Very clean, modern cute med spa!…read more I first started going to Spa Derma in Lincoln park but have moved so west loop is more convenient. I see Ashley Heinz for my Botox and she is the absolute BEST!! Not only is she very thorough, caring, welcoming, knowledgeable, patient but also just very approachable. I have seen my fair share of aestheticians at various different Med Spa's . Let me tell you, Ashley has been my absolute favorite !! She just gives you the warm and fuzzies! She's always very positive and in a great mood! She never makes you feel rushed, and she always follows up after your appointment to check in! If you're feeling nervous about getting your first Botox injections or any fillers or any medical grade products, Ashley will definitely take care of you! Love that Spa Derma always has promos also!

    I am new to Spa Derma, and as a healthcare professional myself, I am always weary when it comes to…read moremedical spas, dermatological practices, etc. My sister, an MD herself, highly recommended this location. I had a 30-minute skin consultation with Michelle, an experienced aesthetician and laser & light specialist. She was knowledgeable, thorough, and made thoughtful recommendations, including a written out individualized AM/PM skin routine. She also discussed appropriate in-office treatments for my personal needs, concerns, and goals (such as the hydrafacial which I now have booked coming up soon)! Overall, this was great, informative experience at Spa Derma in the West Loop. I'm looking forward to my first hydrafacial with Michelle next week!

    I am so happy with my esthetician Clair. We did a chemical peel a month ago that renewed my face…read more It looks and feels great. She also recommended some skincare and perfect instructions on how to apply everything. I'm just so glowy. They also carry some great sunscreens. I tried for the first time ALASTIN tinted sunscreen. Wowza. Worth every penny. I'm able to use it around my eyes without any sting. Try Claire out for your skin needs!!!! You'll be so happy you did!!!!

    FINALLY found a go-to facial spot for my needs. I've always been skeptical and iffy about facials…read morebecause I'm already a skincare addict, but after meeting Audrey, Sarah, and Ronie.. I'll forever be going back for my facial and injection needs. I tried an advanced VI Peel with Audrey (@audrey_spaderma) and learned a lot because she was very educational and tended to my skin texture and pore needs. I got a lot of compliments post peel and thought I was just oily but when I touched my skin, it was like BABY CHEEKS and naturally glowing. My first ever hydrafacial was with Sarah (@sarah_spaderma) and I also went through a microneedling treatment plan and honestly, it fixed these acne scars I've had and also one on my nose that "only I can see" but it definitely smoothed out. I still remember when I told Sarah I love it when people go ham and CLEAR ME UP, and she responded "Oh, I go ham" and she extracted out my pores and my face always feels refreshed afterwards. I was introduced to Ronie (@ronie_spaderma) when I got interested in trying Botox, I ended up with Dysport and Ronie is the best. She's quick and efficient and knows exactly what I need without making me feel self conscious and feel the botox. She's also lowkey famous with local celebrity clients so check her out! I just DM them on instagram and they're super nice and knowledgeable to your needs so no worries on how to get started!
