I scheduled my appointment for what I thought was Feb. 26th, though it turned out I had a communication error with the receptionist, and was scheduled for March 26th. When I showed up to my supposed Feb. 26th appointment, they were very apologetic, and allowed me to reschedule as well as give me credit for an additional hour long massage in the future! That was very nice of them! So this past Saturday I received my first massage with Kim. I've had a few professional massages in the past, but this one blew them all away. It was amazing. When you first arrive you are offered hot tea or water. The waiting room is small, and the whole facility is very quiet and calm. I did not have to wait very long before Kim brought me back. She was so kind and reassuring, I felt very comfortable with her. She talked to me about any problem areas I wanted to work on, etc, and then gave me ample time to use the restroom and undress. The massage rooms are small and relaxing. There was a humidifyer, and the room was very warm. They played soft background music. The lights were very dim and comfortable on the eyes. Even the massage table was amazing - it had a very soft mattress. Kim did an amazing job. I literally felt all knots and stress leave my neck/shoulders. They just melted away. I received the full hour massage, and felt no discontent at the end. I was relaxed and happy and feeling good! I cannnot speak for the other therapists, but if they are anything like Kim, you will be in good hands! I was given a complimentary water on my way out. I cannot wait to schedule my complimentary massage!

Massage Therapy Center Of Winnetka is my go to place for massage. Whether you need a therapeutic…read moremassage for something specific or just want to treat yourself.....they do it all.

I was so happy with the results that I've already booked another appointment for next week. 15/10--highly recommend!

My husband surprised me with a 90 min couples massage for my birthday. I was super excited as we…read morehad massages in and outside of the country. However, this place is not a place for us. Upon arrival there is a tall staircase in order to enter the business. Though this wasn't a problem for us, keep in mind if you have any disabilities. They also make you take your shoes off and slip into slides. Once again no big deal, but bring socks. Upon actually entering the waiting area, they had my husband pay right away, which I thought was a huge red flag. In all the massages we've had, we've never paid first. There was also a 3% fee for using a card despite our total being over $200+. We get into the room, located right by the entrance and it is freezing. My husband's bed was warmed, however mine was not. I have never seen or heard of a heated massage table, but with a drafty window a portable heater would have solved this issue. When the two massage therapists entered they did not greet themselves and started saying something in another language. Mine asked me light or strong. I told her medium as that is what I have always requested from other locations. After that she noticed the bed wasn't warmed, attempted to fix it, but it was broken: WE WERE NOT ASKED OR INFORMED we were getting a DEEP tissue massage. Considering what a deep tissue massage entitles, they also did not ask other important questions like areas of concern or injuries. The massage started with some oil and hot stones and quickly progressed to pain. All I kept thinking was what type of massage did my husband book. I grimaced, flinched, and yelped in pain. My person's only response was "oh you're sensitive" and she continued at the same strength/depth. 90% was jamming her elbow into every possible pressure point and directly into my bones. This was not only the most painful massage I have ever had, but the second most painful and traumatic experience in my life; internal bleeding being my number one. I have a high pain tolerance and not sensitive to pain. Even more than that, she did not respect that I left my panties on and pulled them down and lifted them up. I'm immediately cried when she finally finished and on the entire way home. To say the least my masseuse did not receive a tip. I'm on muscle relaxers and have multiple bruises. I will never be back and regret not sitting up and ending it. Everything from the base of my skull to my legs hurt; to put it in perspective I weigh 135 pounds and 5'5". IF you book a couples massage with them, do not assume you are getting a Swedish massage like most places, despite there being no option to select.

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. I sometimes have to visit other massage therapists when I am traveling out of town, and I am always disappointed because no one else even comes close to how good Vince is. 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.

WHEN I SAY BALD I MEAN BALDDDDDDDDDDD. i don't think there's a more painful way to go bald then this. let me tell you i walked out that appointment losing minimum 100 strands of my luscious hair out my head that will take years to grow back. i don't know what type of secret recipe bs massage technique they use but they need to keep those techniques a secret if they still want to have a running business. i had a SOFT back massage scheduled but this female with the grip of JOHN CENA started to handle my head like it was made out of metal. i walked out the appointment like i had just got canon blasted into a metal wall incoming head first. it's been more than 24 hours since my appointment and i'm on 1000 mg of ibuprofen. will that do anything to help my head? if you said yes then your wrong! it feels like i have bruises all around my head and it keeps getting worse by the day. i like to use natural remedies to cure pain but ain't nothing natural fixing this. i don't believe in seeing doctors but tomorrow might be the day that i go and see one. i will say ONE nice thing since im not a terrible person... they do a really good job with the back massage JUST as long as they don't touch ur head you will probably have an amazing experience unlike me

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!
