Stressful spa experience

by Iza419 at Citysearch

My husband bought through Groupon a hot stone massage and pedicure as a Christmas present.

He called to extend the coupon dates in order for me to enjoy the spa, they denied the extention even though he told them that it was because of a medical condition they said no and they let him know that there will be a cancelation fee so we decided to do an apppoinment.

I came into the place 15 minutes early and a friendly receptionist took care of me and told me that Wanda is going to do the pedicure. She started the pedicure and told me to soak my feet for 5 minutes and left me sitting. after 40 minutes with my feet in hot water and no one taking care of me I spoke to the receptionist and she said I am sorry but your pedicurist left .

We asked for the manager and when she arrived I asked for her business card. She doesn't have one so she showed me her drivers license. She was the owner, Ms. Adams. we explained the situation and her answer was that she is loosing money with us because it was a Groupon purchase and they only pay her 25%. In the end my pampering time at the Elizabeth Adam salon was stressful, plus we had to pay $30 to park.

Paul V is GREAT!

by Karen Bo at Citysearch

I went to the salon in August to get my hair highlighted for the first time. I was really nervous about the highlights fading and having to get them redone every 2-3 months. Paul V not only did the highlights but cut my hair too. It was amazing! My highlights still look nice today and the color was perfect. I will not go anywhere else but here because everyone in the salon was very friendly and it was an overall great experience!

Haircut/Color With Enisa!

by megi10 at Citysearch

I have been getting my hair cut and colored at Elizabeth Adam Salon for years now, and my favorite stylist is Enisa. She is extremely friendly and listens to exactly what you want (which is quite rare in many of the other salons I have been to!) She also makes great suggestions for new cuts and color that is most flattering to my face shape! I strongly believe she is one of the best stylists in Chicago! Her expertise in hair color is like none other and she is very consistent with her work. I always get compliments on my hair and have suggested Enisa to all my friends! Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the whole salon and plan to make many more visits in the future!

• Pros: Friendly, Listens to what you want (very important!)

Best facials in Chicago

by britney1911 at Citysearch

I get microdermabrasion in numerous places in Chicago, usually looking for specials on it. The best one I received from Simona at Elizabeth Adam Salon and Day Spa. She gave me a fabulous massage of shoulder, decollate, back, neck, face, arms and hands. She put my hands in hot mitts and proceeded with micro. Than she used something soothing to calm down my skin- she said to prevent inflammation and discoloration. Steam and extractions followed by oxygen infusion with vitamins and minerals.

My skin looked clean, clear and glowing. My discolorations from previous blemishes lighten a lot. She stated that my skin will look the best in two weeks – she was right. It is the place for the best microdremabrasion in town.

Brazilian Wax w/ Irina

by soniasoto81 at Citysearch

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
