Northwestern Institute of Cosmetic Surgery
3 East Huron St. 1st floor
Chicago,  IL 60611
(312) 988-7777

Spa Girl Review…

Walking into the Northwestern Institute of Cosmetic Surgery is essentially walking into a doctor's office. As a first time visitor you fill out the requisite medical history paperwork and are then led back to an examining room. Although unlike other spas, this atmosphere was quite comforting as this was my first experience with anything cosmetic. I was introduced to an aesthetician who asked me what products I used, what sorts of skin issues I have dealt with and what medications I take. She listened as I told her my past bouts of adult acne, my concerns about face sensitivity and my all around curiosity about the procedures she performs. She couldn't have been nicer or more informative. She then told me about microdermabrasion, the process I had decided to try. She perfectly explained the process, potential results and how it would feel. She answered question after question, indulging my interest.

Spa Space

West Loop
161 North Canal Street
Chicago, IL 60606
(312) 466-9585

Spa Girl Review…

Nestled in Chicago 's West Loop , just blocks from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, is Spa Space, an exclusive getaway for the Spa connoisseur. Spa Space is a medically oriented day spa offering a full menu of delectable treatments from manicures to microdermabrasion. Spa Space offers a full array of luxurious services, all of which have received a stamp of approval from Spa Space's Medical Advisory Board.

I booked a day of relaxation at Spa Space including a Vitamin C Booster Facial, Pineapple Papaya Pacific Paradise Body Treatment and a Wine and Roses Pedicure.

The Vitamin C Booster Facial includes a thorough cleansing followed by a firming mask. The grand finale is an infusion of nutrients including vitamin C serum, vitamin B3 gel, and a balancing hydrator. My esthetician stopped midway through my facial to tell me that I really needed a thorough extraction and to ask if I could spare a little extra time for a proper pore cleansing. Naturally, I obliged her! The extraction was one of the most thorough I've ever had and thanks to a special hi-frequency device any additional bacteria is killed. The result is clear skin with no break out hangover! I was so impressed by the Vitamin C serum by Skin Ceuticals that I purchased a bottle to take home.

Parto Naderi: Creation de Beaute

River North
507 North Wells
Chicago, IL 60610
(312) 670-7007

Spa Girl Review…

Upon entering Parto Naderi's salon I was greeted by April, who led me on a grand tour of the space. The salon has two floors, the open main level caters to cut and color with pedicure and manicure stations staged in the back of the salon. There is upbeat XM satellite radio playing in the background, the color scheme is a light green and the main level is departmentalized with the left side of the space catering to color and the right side catering to cut. The stairway in the middle of the room leads down to the spa section, where at the bottom level of the salon is a makeup area, which reminded me of being backstage before a fashion show or play. April then guided me down a curtain-draped hallway to three separate spa rooms in which the décor is minimalist with a splash of Asian influence. One room is for massage, the second is for facial treatments and the third is appropriately named the "wet room" where body wraps, massages, and the like are offered.

Spa Soak

Bucktown
1733 N. Milwaukee
Chicago, IL 60647
(773) 395-9000

Spa Girl Review…

Imagine a place where you can soak all of your senses in the highest-quality essential oils, plant extracts, vitamins and minerals- all custom-blended to your needs and specifications. That's what Chicago spa goers will find at Spa Soak, a soul soothing experience that starts from the skin's surface and works inward.

Located in Chicago's trendy Bucktown neighborhood, I walked into the discreet side entrance to find an enormous loft-style structure that looked more like a hip art gallery space than a spa. Once I was taken in by the soft smells, soothing music and calm atmosphere, I knew I had something great in store. Aqua- blue painted walls, hard-wood floors, tall windows, exposed brick, soft track lighting and lofted ceilings set the tone, while comfy seating with sea green and blue pillows invited me to relax. I was offered a glass of cold water and perused the retail section while I waited. Soaps, candles and body care products by BioElements, Bella Mama, Bath Bloomers, Aroma Vera, Body Tea and Bell-a-Roma line the wall, as well as the recent releases from OPI and Essie nail polish brands.

Hair Base Full Service Center and Day Spa

Peterson Park/Rogers Park
3631 W. Devon Avenue
Chicago, IL 60659
(773) 539-0266

Spa Girl Review…

Let's begin by debunking the theory that all haircuts should be done wet. Hair Base's preferred hair cutting method is before, not after, hair is shampooed, and does it make a difference! My naturally wavy hair behaves so much differently wet than dry; a dry haircut suddenly seems like a given. Now that I've had one, and such a great cut at that, never again will I have my hair cut wet. I have naturally wavy hair, which behaves so much differently wet than dry, that a dry haircut seems like such a fantastic idea, I can't believe I hadn't thought of it myself
