This trio of excellent massage therapy and skin care specialistsare just what I was looking for. Carlos gives a really relaxing massage and always makes sure that he's not too hard or too soft. Latanya brought my supple face back to life because it was so dry and within an hour, my skin looks absolutely amazing just from a facial. I didn't even need to put make up on afterwards and Kim although I've not used her skin care services gave me a fantastic manicure and pedicure all three rooms feel like an oasis. It's so relaxing just stepping inside I wanna fall asleep even before they do anything definitely give them a try. Bonus validated parking. I get to get beautified ask in one place. read more

I had a massage appt with Carlos and oh my goodness it was AMAZING! he made me feel so comfortable and really listened to my needs and what would be best for my body. The experience of the actual massage was relaxing and I swear I could have fallen asleep! Will absolutely go back for another massage. read more

This review is long overdue. LaTonya is amazing and gives the best facials. Due to COVID I haven't been able to receive a facial recently, but did buy a gift certificate to use when it's allowed. I have very sensitive skin w/ hormonal breakouts and LaTonya knew exactly how to customize the treatment for my skin. Her extraction process is extremely thorough, but gentle. My skin never looked better! Even my sisters complimented me afterwards (that's rare for them) LaTonya is very professional, super knowledgeable and extremely kind. She's goes above and beyond to ensure you're not only receiving the best treatment for your skin, but that the experience itself is one of being pampered and relaxed. I can't wait to get my facial with her... read more

Thank you so much! Great service! Definitely were able to help me with my anxiety since it had been so long since my last wax! I appreciate the cleanliness and and the pandemic preparation! I felt very relaxed and comfortable! read more

If you're questioning whether or not you should try wholistic skincare, the answer is yes! I struggle with acne, but a monthly visit to get a facial helps balance my skin out and I leave feeling more confident than before. LaTonya is amazing and seriously so friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend. read more

I want La Tonya to be my friend. No, really. She's just so calming and relaxed. All of my stress just melted away the second that I walked into Wholistic Skin Care Specialists. We talked and laughed all the way through my appointment and before I knew it, I had perfectly sculpted brows and bikini area. La Tonya and Wholistic Skin Care Specialists has risen to the top of my esthetician list. read more

I began seeing LaTonya about nine months ago and won't go anywhere else. She is a phenomenal as well as knowledgeable esthetician. Her demeanor is so welcoming and kind. I just adore her personality. I've never had an unpleasant experience (considering that I see her regularly for Brazilian waxes.) I've also had her give me a facial. Which was amazing. Her staff and office are up to par as well. Very calming, relaxing, clean environment. I always ask a million questions and LaTonya always gives me an answer. She's pretty great at being on time as well as fit me in if I need to make a last minute appointment. She always gives me a five star experience so she deserves a five star rating read more

I bought the Yelp deal for $15 for $30 of services and was so happy I did! LaTonya is super friendly, fast and great at what she does. I might finally go back to waxing my eyebrows instead of threading them after my visit with her. There was very little pain and my skin in SENSITIVE, so though my skin was red, it seemed to recover more quickly than usual. With the amazing deals she posts on her own website, I'm not sure if I'll ever go anywhere else. She books up fairly quickly, but you can book an appointment online a week or two out without a problem. The space she rents is super close to the Clybourn red line stop so it's easy for me to hop off on my way home from work, and the waiting room is very calming and peaceful. If you haven't been, buy one of her many deals offered and give her a try. You won't be sorry! read more

For all the rave reviews on here I was really expecting better. LaTonya had me wait a good 20-30 minutes before she got to me. Then, she rushed through my Brazilian leaving patches everywhere, come on... On the plus side, I really loved the decor and location is pretty good (minus the fact there's two doors to the address and the first one is a tanning salon, a bit confusing if you've never been here before). Would I come back? Only if there was a deal and she wasn't overbooked. read more

I've been getting monthly Brazilian waxes by LaTonya for almost three years now and each visit is as comfortable and peaceful as the last and they all leave me with amazing results. As many reviewers have mentioned, she is extremely professional, passionate, knowledgeable and very nice/friendly/relatable. From the moment you enter the studio, you are met with warm, calm vibes and this energy stays throughout your entire visit. While I've only gotten waxed here, I'd highly recommend any service that she offers because she's just that great! read more

I used a YouSwoop for a Brazilian Wax here by LaTonya. A+ for décor - it was peaceful and calming. It's always a positive to get a nice feeling when walking into a place that's about to rip hot wax off your private parts! =) Honestly though, I must have been missing this from my recent experiences at other places because I noticed it immediately and complimented LaTonya as soon as I walked in. A+ for quality, speed and painlessness (as is feasible for a Brazilian). The whole process took maybe 10-15 minutes. My appointment was a 1pm, I arrived 5 minutes early, was greeted warmly, freshened up in the restroom and was back out the door by 1:20pm. No Brazilian is truly painless but it wasn't bad and since she knew what she was doing it didn't last too long at all. I place a high value on that for sure. I'd come here again... possibly even without a deal since the regular price is $45. Not bad. Of course I'd still like a few bucks off but the service was good enough that I would CONSIDER it. Thanks, LaTonya! read more

Positives: location, ambience, friendly service Negatives: description promises both soft and hard wax for brazillians but she only uses soft which makes it A LOT more painful than it usually is. If the description said soft wax only, I would have never went. That needs to be changed because it makes a huge difference. read more

Service provided by Wholistic Skincare is a comforting experience. You are welcomed by a zen-like atmosphere and friendly faces. Body beauty services are offered and provided by professionals. Appointments are timely and convenient. I am happy to be a loyal customer for over two years. read more

LaTonya is amazing. Thank God I went to her for my first brazilian. The place is small and a little bit hard to find, but the ambiance is incredibly peaceful and welcoming. LaTonya herself is so relaxed and calm. When you're at Wholistic Skin Care, there is nothing to worry about. The brazilian was quick and painful and she talks to you to ease the nerves. She's been able to take me early both times I've visited and the last time she squeezed in an eyebrow wax and tint with no prior appointment!!! People don't usually do that. She is a little bit pricey for a student, but she does have some great brazilian deals! I LOOOOVVVVEEEE my eyebrows but it was a bit pricey for me. Very talented woman who loves what she does. Would recommend her!! read more

Tonya is so talented! She is professional, friendly, relatable, and respectful knowing that she works in a field that can be uncomfortable for people. She's also very understanding and knowledgeable when it comes to health questions and dealing with "first timers". I've gone to her for about 5 years and I'm not going anywhere else! I trust her to have clean supplies, to be updated on the most recent practices, and consistency. read more

I recently visited Wholistic Skincare Specialist for a massage, facial and wax. I was traveling as I am from Michigan, and boy did I pick the right out of state spa! The service was outstanding and LaTonya was a real gem!! I would HIGHLY recommend you give them a try if you looking for quality skin care!! read more

LaTonya is the best! I have been going to her for over a year for my Brazilian wax. She always uses the best products and makes sure I have a comfortable experience. The prices are reasonable and the atomosphere is calming. I have very sensitive skin and LaTonya is mindful of that and I have never had a bad reaction to my wax. I was recommended to her by a friend and I am so happy I found her! Truly the best waxing in Chicago! read more

Had my first appointment today, received a Custom Facial & eyebrow waxing. LaTonya was so welcoming, kind & knowledgeable. From the minute you walk in the door you are made to feel at ease, the space is so beautiful & calming. The treatment room was cozy, comfy & I was able to settle right in. LaTonya explained every product she used and she was so knowledgeable in regards to what my skin needed. I left feeling so relaxed & my skin was oh so happy I have made my next appointment & think LaTonya now has a regulator customer! read more

I have had the pleasure to visit the Wholistic Skincare Specialist Kimberly. My services were Brazilian wax and custom blend facial. During this crazy time with COVID19 she made sure i felt safe and everything was super clean and sanitized! She was very attentive to my skin care needs and responded with proper solutions that made results really good "happy face". Overall i felt really comfortable and very satisfied. I highly recommend Kimberly for your skincare needs! read more

Tanya is fantastic. I am 72 and look 50- ish due to her skincare. She is fine and a great listener. She encourages self care. I now go every six weeks for facials. read more

Whether it's a waxing service or facial, I love my time at Wholistic Skin Care. I always ask for LaTonyas opinion of the best service for me because I trust herexpertise and I know she will only provide me with the best service and package that is right for me. There's no sales pitch with LaTonya, only honesty,integrity and a true passion for making her clients feel confident and beautiful. Wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

I have been going to LaTonya for about 5 years and I wouldn't go anywhere else for my most sensitive skincare needs. She is such an amazing person and conducts her business with love! I have sent friends to see her...they never leave disappointed and then they become repeat customers, too. Definitely pay Wholistic Skincare Specialist, LaTonya, a visit soon! read more

I bought a YouSwoop for a Brazilian Wax at La Tonya, and I was so nervous going in, because I had never had a waxing down there and had heard such awful stories from friends about their Brazilian experience. La Tonya is unbelievable! She made me feel so comfortable from the instant I walked in the spa. The lights were dimmed and the music was calming, which made me feel very comfortable waiting for my Brazilian. She's very educated, and knows exactly what she's doing. She was talking to me the entire time, and kept making sure I was as comfortable as possible. She knows which is the most painful parts to wax, and made sure to do them as swiftly as possible. She even cheered me on while I was feeling the most pain!...I bet my friends weren't cheered on when they got waxed! Literally, the pain lasts 30 seconds after she rips the strip off you...it's not long lasting pain at all, and she knows how to make it less painful. The whole process took 15 minutes, and I didn't feel any pain when I left the spa. Although a Brazilian Wax isn't a woman's favorite thing to do, she manages to make it as painless and comfortable as possible! read more

I went here because I had a Daily Candy certificate for a Brazilian Wax. You should know that this place utilizes strip wax, so if you are used to hard wax, this process hurts a lot more! LaTonya was very nice, but ufortunately she ended up dripping wax all over my silk shirt which I did not realize until getting home. My shirt was ruined and i ended up throwing it out. I guess I got what I paid for - will not be returning. read more

I frequent this spa for upper lip and brazilian wax and I must say, Tonya does an excellent job! I am very picky about who I let do my wax because I have very sensitive skin. Her products are all natural, which means I don't leave looking like a swollen buffoon! Her spa is very clean, she uses a new stick etc for each application of wax. She is quick and as painless as possible! I HATE when people insist on dragging out the process!! An extra plus, she is super warm and friendly and never makes me feel dumb for acting like a total baby. HIGHLY recommend! :) read more

Listen: getting a Brazilian for the first time is WEIRD. I can't even believe I'm admitting to doing it in a public forum. But LaTonya is a consummate professional and makes you feel completely at ease while all the weirdness is going on down south, so it's no weirder than getting a cup of coffee, just, you know, with your pants off. read more

I highly recommend Tonya for both facials and waxing. She is fantastic at what she does and is very passionate about it as well. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and Tonya has a wonderful personality. I normally get very irritated and broken out from any type of facial waxing and did not experience any of that after being waxed by Tonya. Her facials are amazing and very relaxing. I just received a facial the other day and my skin was in bad shape prior and Tonya did her magic and really helped improve the condition of my skin. You will not be disappointed! read more

Love, love LaTonya! I found her through DailyCandy Deals, and had such a wonderful experience. From the moment I walked in, I was at ease with the very calming environment, and felt very taken care of through the very scary process of getting a wax in that O-o-o so sensitive region! I came in for a bikini because I'm a baby when it comes to pain, but left with a full Brazilian (what I really wanted) because LaTonya was able to be quick, yet gentle and very encouraging throughout. I am beyond impressed with her skill and warm nature and I will definitely be back! ;-) read more

The lady that did my facial was so friendly and knowledgeable. I will definitely return and would highly recommend! They also offer a variety of other services like eyelash extensions. read more

Tonya is amazing! So knowledgeable and gentle! She made my first waxing experience a walk in the park. I will certainly be back and would definitely recommend. read more

I LOVE LATONYA! shes so friendly and made me feel relaxed about my brazilian. i agree with Amy H.'s review cuz i want tonya to be my friend too! i loved the end results even though it was painful. but she talked to me throughout the whole thing to take my mind off of it & reassured me that i was a big girl for doin it! yaaaaay! read more

LaTonya S. did my Brazilian wax (my first time here), the place is easy to access , close to transportation, street parking and safe area. The interior is so peaceful and cute. Even tho I had to wait for 15 minutes or so, I did not mind, the waxing was great, no double dipping (always ask) pretty much painless and well done. LaTonya is so balance and relax with a smile on her face ALL the time. I was pleased and happy and scheduled my next one in few weeks. Thanks LaTonya and YELPERS for helping me find my new Brazilian wax sanctuary. read more

Tonya is a delight; sweet, kind, friendly, and her waxing is as pain-free as can be expected :)

I bought a deal for waxing services in hopes to find a new esthetician closer to home. LaTonya is a sweetheart and I liked her personality. I gave her a through try for services. I had a brazillian wax the first visit. Needless to say, it was awful. I've had this service done many times before and I've never been left with bruising, welts, and broken blood vessels under the skin. During the process was more painful too but I figured it was the different wax. I didn't say anything but perhaps I should have stopped her. She didn't seem rushed so I'm not sure why this happened. I decided to give her another try (not in the same area) but only because I had to use the remainder of my deal. I had her wax my arms. Everything went fine and I had no issues. However, I will never return here for waxing services. read more

LaTonya is amazing. I have had a facial twice from her and she takes great care in doing it. She is super knowledgeable about organic products and the skin. She even is delicate when doing extractions. I highly recommend!!!! read more

Tonya really is the best at what she does. I've gotten several men's skin treatments from her and not only does she produce results but they are sooo relaxing. She makes the whole place into a very zen experience and has a really wonderful personality to boot! Definitely recommended. read more

This is a late review, but I finally made time to write it. My hubby bought me a gift certificate from you swoop; which I wish I would of have bought more. It was my first time for a Brazilian and I was very nervous. My girlfriend and I walked in and we could feel the serenity in the air. Since I am a cry baby, I pushed my friend to go first. After 10-15 minutes she came out of the room like a "champ". I didn't hear her scream so that gave me a positive reaction. My experience was almost painless, yes I screamed and my friend heard me but she expected me to cry. LaTonya made me feel calm and I didn't feel embarrassed at all. My friend and I are ready to go back again!! I would definitely recommend this place.. read more

Tonya is great. I had brazilian done by her and it was as painless as it gets. Since she is so good at what she does, you need to make an appointment with her 2 weeks in advance, which can sometimes be inconvenient. I will definitely use her services again. read more

I had waxing done by Tonya yesterday. First of all, her studio is really calm and peaceful, which I loved. And she is totally chill and really relaxing to be around. It was an unexpected bonus to go for waxing and have a really nice, relaxing spa-like experience. Tonya's products are excellent and she was very skilled and professional. And her prices are really, really good. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs hair removal or facials. She's probably the best skincare specialist I've ever worked with. Now, I might have to try out those eyelashes.... read more

I've been spa hopping lately and I've really enjoyed my visits to LaTonya so far. She's very professional and just calm, which after a long day at work, is much appreciated. After my facial my bf wanted to know why I looked "shiny" and I had to inform him that the proper word was "glowing." I then tried to get him to touch my now supersoft skin! And my brows look awesome (again). read more
