Best Facial In The City

by JenLB

By far the best facial in the city! I live in the neighborhood and when Soulistic opened, I was ecstatic to have a spa/yoga/pilates studio so close to home...but I wasn't prepared for how amazing it was going to be! I have never had a bad experience with any of the personnel, services or classes I have tried at Soulistic. But, what prompted me to write this review was the facial by Kelli! After my first, my mother-in-law and BOTH commented it was the best facial we have ever had...so yesterday, I had to try it again just to be sure...and Kelli didn't disapoint. Aside from the best, most relaxing facial and upper body massage you will ever get, Kelli really listens and picks products for your skin type! The room is comfortable, it is quiet, the all-organic products are excellent and the steam room/sauna are an added bonus pre-or-post service! I have been to every fancy spa in Chicago and beyond (including the Peninsula and Kiva) and this, by far, is the best facial I have ever had!

• Pros: Location, services, personnel
• Cons: Wish they had manicures/pedicures!

Best Studio & Spa in Chicago!

by LaraAM

I went here for a work retreat and it is by far the nicest most peaceful place we have ever been for a work retreat. The studio is absolutely beautiful and kept in incredible shape. They are very clean with all the equipment and aware of all the sights, sounds and smells you need in order to get the most out of a workout or spa treatment.

They offer several different spa services, dance classes, kid classes, Pilates, yoga and are willing to cater to any other idea you come up with for a class.

The staff is amazing and unbelievable friendly and knowledgeable. And they all work hard to make your experience there one of relaxation and rejuvenation.

Since my staff retreat I have signed up for an 8-week Pilate?s class and love every minute of it. They are very good about offering classes in the evening and on weekends too so it is easy to find a class that will fit into your schedule.

This is truly my favorite studio & spa in Chicago. You won't be disappointed!

Divine Urban Oasis!

by msnic1

This West Town spa is the cleanest, calmest facility I've ever had the pleasure of doing spa treatments at. Not only is the space beautifully decorated, it's conveniently located to downtown with fabulous views of the City skyline. It has become my spa of choice in Chicago, which I frequent on a regular basis. Their attention to detail is evident from the second you step off the elevator. You are warmly greeted by the front desk staff who promptly supplies you with luxurious robes and slippers, and a full-size locker for your personals. The deep tissue massages I've gotten from Frederick and Monica are by the far the best I've ever had, and the facial and waxing services performed by Kelli are extremely relaxing and pain free! The spa uses certified organic products exclusively for all of their spa services, and it's hard to resist not going home with a couple of the Eminence skin care products. The combination of space and knowledgeable staff are hard to beat! I highly recommend Soulistic to anyone looking for a customized, personal experience!!

• Pros: Close to downtown with ample street parking; Calm, healing environment
