Editorial Review for Elizabeth Adam Salon & Day Spa – by Suzanne Carmel
The Scene
Proximity to area offices and shopping is this bustling Water Tower Place day spa's main attraction. Two facial rooms, four treatment rooms and one massage room are located within, and two other facial rooms are down a public hallway. Though lacking the tranquil environment and extras (like toiletries and refreshments) of some other spas, Elizabeth Adam is great for a quick fix.
The Services
Facials are the best of the services offered; the Ultrasonic Visage and Photo Visage facials use ultrasonic waves and a surge of light, respectively, to stimulate cells beneath the skin's surface. This spa's one of the only in the area to feature the Fantasy Tan airbrush system. A sports pedicure, deep tissue massage and chocolate mint body buff cater to men, though clientele is predominantly female. Prices are generally typical of the upscale area, but good values can be had.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoRequest services offered in treatment rooms inside the spa, otherwise you'll be walking down an office building hallway in your robe and slippers. Also, travel light--there are no lockers here; you'll either have to stow items above the coat rack or carry them with you.
Save MoneyAsk about spa packages for a better value, or consider shorter treatments such as the half-hour massage or mini facial.

I have been waxing my Bikini area for 7 years and I finally found my waxing QUEEN Irina. I use to get strip wax until I made an appointment with Irina at Elizabeth Adam Salon. What a HUGE difference. Not only was strip wax PAINFUL it caused a lot of ingrown hairs. Now I'm able to go 4-6 weeks without getting waxed again, I no longer have ingrown hairs, and the BONUS of hard wax is LESS Pain. She takes about 15 min tops to wax my WHOLE area. She only pulls 4 times not like before where I had about 10 strips or more before I was done... I strongly recommend HARD WAX for everyone.
Pros: Everyone is so friendly and the service is nice and quick
Cons: Parking, but parking in Downtown will always be the problem because it cost too much

This salon is great for waxing. I recommend asking for Irena. She is very personable and makes you feel comfortable. She also uses the hard wax (and I'm not sure why anyone still uses the soft wax down there!). Hard wax is great - so much less painful than soft wax and no irritation after. Hard wax attaches just to the hair rather than to the skin like soft wax. You could literally get waxed in the morning and be wearing a bikini that afternoon! The experience and results from the hard wax are fantastic. Prices are reasonable for a downtown Chicago salon and 20% off for students.
Pros: Practically painless compared to soft wax, and Ireana is very personable.
