Editorial Review for Spa Space – by Lindsay Beller

The Scene
When Natalie Tessler couldn't find a decent manicure in the Loop, she opened her own body-boosting, soul-soothing spa downtown. The result: a clean, comfortable place to trade in business-casual for plush white robes and slippers. Unwind in the New-Age-y "relaxation room" until an amiable escort leads you to your treatment room.

The Services
Dry skin loves the "Buff and Drench," a rejuvenating body wrap that exfoliates and moisturizes you inside a warm paraffin cocoon. An upper-body massage makes you melt as your skin is lavished with scented oils and lotions. The luxurious signature facial takes a corrective approach to skin care; customized to your skin type, it purifies pores while you enjoy a hand/foot massage. Other treatments include manicures, pedicures, waxing and microdermabrasion. Rinse off in a rain shower before heading back to the office.

The Details
Massage, body treatments, facials, hair removal, sunless tanning, manicure/pedicure.

I am not very experienced with Spas, but my experience at Spa Space was very pleasent. The environment was nice and the staff very friendly. I was put at ease and lost any nervousness I might have otherwise had on entering an unfamiliar environment. I'm taking the time to write this review because the deep tissue massage I received from 'Veronica' was by far the best massage I have ever gotten. This is based on about 10 massages that I have gotten in my life.

Pros: Deep Tissue Massage

Cons: I could see parking being a problem.

I've been to Spa Space several times over the years for waxing and occasional nails b/c it's close to my office, and I have sent tons of friends for their brazilian waxing. I've had to try a few different waxers b/c two have left since I started going there, but all have been excellent. My biggest thing is that the place is spotlessly clean - very important when you're having such an intimate service. Anyhow, I recently had friends in town and they wanted to visit a spa, so I decided to give Spa Space a try for the other services that I'd never done there. We all had 90-min. massages, facials and pedis. My friend also had a seaweed wrap that she loved. Everything was amazing from start to finish. We were actually arguing about which of us had the best masseuse (I pick mine, her name was Veronica). I don't remember who my friends had, but they were both so happy. The service was also really great - everyone was super-nice and helpful. We didn't want to leave!

Pros: reasonable prices, awesome services, valet parking

Cons: small-ish locker room, can be hard to get in
