Walking into ElleHomme Holistic Med Spa is not quite what is expected from a medical spa; it´s charming and chic, comfortable and - dare I say - cozy. A far cry from the white-walled, lab coat-sheathed sterility of a doctor´s office, ElleHomme isn´t like other med spas. ElleHomme focuses on the whole person and not just the smile lines that have slowly begun to appear on one´s face.

Nestled in the West Loop just north of Greektown, ElleHomme opened in July 2008 and has quickly become a neighborhood favorite. Upscale enough to serve the CEOs that rent out the entire facility and the bridal parties that come out for pre-wedding pampering, ElleHomme is also approachable enough to stop in for a treatment or massage after a long workday.

Just in time for Mother's Day, our editors have hand selected the best products from our favorite Chicagoland spas, salons and medspas and all are offered at our signature online store.

We're enamored with this completely unexpected pepper spray from Spa Soak encased in an embellished rhinestone skull and cross bones aluminum container. Inside is Oleoresin Capsicum, a non-lethal self-defense spray with a safety latch ($110). Pretty and oh-so-practical because a girl's gotta protect herself.

And then there are spa, salon and medspa gift certificates available in any denomination as well as for specific packages from a well edited selection of the top local beauty destinations.
