Great treatments for Rosacea!

by GypsyLover

I have suffered from rosacea for the past 10 years. I've been to dermatologists, many spas and even holistic healers and I was ready to give up. Recently a friend recommened that I go to Skin Quotient. I was reluctant at first because I had been to so many spas and I was never completely satisfied with the treatments for my rosacea. As a matter of fact, I stopped going to spas for the past few years because I really did not see the point. Well, I finally found the diamond in the rough. This place is no ordinary spa. My esthetician was so knowledgeable and she used organic treatments for my skin. I did not know I could receive all natural products for my skin since doctors and spas were always using medical products on my skin. I did get the 75 min facial (every first time customer should get this) The esthetician explained everything that was going on with my skin and she made sure to discuss my eating habits, physical activities and work lifestyle. I went into Skin Quotient with dry, red, inflamed skin and left with soft, calmed and glowing skin. The tightness and flackiness was gone and not just that day but for several days after. A few days later a came back a bought the serum and mask and I must say my skin looks and feels much better. I will defintely return.

Client comes First

by Jeannine08

Went to Skin Quotient and had a not-so-good experience, filled out their service questionnaire honestly, and the problem was corrected. Very attentive manager- really made me feel like they cared and wanted to see that I had an amazing time. Thanks Skin Quotient!

Best Facial and Massage!

by Vrambling

I've been going to day spas for the past 20 years. While I've been to just about every high-profile day spa in Chicago, I must say I was pleasantly surprised when I went to Skin Quotient. From the outside, it looks pretty simple but once you walk in, its just beautiful. The colors are warm and soothing. The staff greeted me right away and thanked me for coming. I was impressed with the depth of knowledge that my esthetician had about acne/rosecea. I found out that she actually specializes in acne and rosacea and she also performed a very detailed nutritional assessment in addition to the computer skin scan. I have never had a skincare experience like this before--the attention to detail was outstanding. After my facial, I received a Free make-up session. The esthetician blended my foundation and made a custom eyeshadow for me based on a sample of a eyeshadow that I had from another company. I also received a massage and it was heavenly. The rooms were large and not tiny, like most. The beds were warm and cushy. I was extremely impressed with the level of personalized service at this place. Finally, I must say the products I bought are great. I usually do not buy products on the first visit but the esthetician was so knowledgeable and she did not try to hard sell any products to me. I love this place and will defintely be back.

• Pros: Ambiance, Customer Service, Very Experienced
• Cons: Hard to find from the street, Definitely need to book appointment in advance for facials

Gross...

by sluv

The staff is sooo rude! Wow for these prices I should be treated like a princess. Instead, the staff is rude and it's not clean at all. There was a long black hair on my "clean towel." Gross! They also charge your credit card if you can't make it within 24 hours. Desperate and money hungry... Oh and the facialist left the room to talk on her cell phone.. hmmm just don't go.

Excellent!!!!

by heathercorrado

I would definitely recommend the spa to anyone and everyone. The girls that worked there are friendly and charismatic and turned me into a repeat customer. I went to get a custom blend of mineral makeup and am extremely satisfied, Lisa was great! She really took the time to blend me my perfect color and formula and kept me entertained the whole time. I actually live over a hour away but have no problem making the drive, it's is so worth it. I highly suggest you run, don't walk and see for yourself.

• Pros: The girls, the enviroment and services they offer are all top notch.
• Cons: Parking is a little tricky, but then again it's Chicago.

Fantastic!

by chief44

I have been getting services at Skin Quotient for almost a year and half now, and I can not get enough. The customer service is so personal and friendly at SQ that I enjoy getting treatments there. At least once a month I recieve waxing service, a facial, pedicure and the deep tissue massage. I am addicted! All the employees really now how to treat their clients.

Delightful Services

by 1819

I had a delightful time visiting this spa. I have gone to this spa for nail services a couple of times, and I found the atmosphere quite relaxing once I sat down in the comfy accommodations to get pedicure treatments. The nail Technicians were pleasant on each of my visits, and my name was promptly called for the services upon announcement of my arrival to the spa. If you ever get invited to one of the spa parties, I can guarantee that you will have a great time. Arrive early though. . ..Being the early bird allows you to take advantage of at least one or more mini spa services, "free" that I might add. . .offered during the night. I think that it is the spa's way of saying "thank you" in placing me on the invite list to their seasonal spa parties.

• Pros: The Spa accommodated me in giving me a late evening appt. as I travel in from the suburbs back to the city on workdays. . .

Great Experience

by citygirl456

This spa is wonderful. I had a facial for the very first time and they were very informative about the experience and what it involved. What an incredible experience! A friend from work recommended the spa and the staff was so polite and helpful. I also love the products that they recommended.

Wonderful surprise for Mom!!

by smokinamber

Every year I send my mom to a different spa for Mother's Day. This year I surprised her with a gift certificate to this spa. After her experience at Skin Quotient, she told me that she wanted to go back and she did not want to wait a whole year! So, I am sending her back to skin quotient for her birthday in July. Usually, she's looking forward to the next spa adventure. But, she told me that her spa experience here was the best she'd ever had. She loved the people and she raved about the atmosphere. I love my mother but she can be a pretty critical person, so for her to rave like this is rare! Skin Quotient must be a wonderful spa. So, this year I plan on joining my mother for her birthday (a little mother/daughter outing). I must experience this for myself!! Thank you Skin Quotient for taking such good care of my mother!!

• Pros: Staff and atmosphere
• Cons: none stated

Best Spa in Chicago

by 086neeg

I have been looking for a spa since I moved to Chicago from New York a year ago. I've been to all of the top rated spas in the city but much to my disappointment, something always fell short. I recently visited Skin Quotient and I was so AMAZED!! Everything from the chic decor to the personalized service was top notch. Every aspect of my facial service was customized to such a high degree. My esthetician did an indepth review of my nutrition, skin care practices and the products I currently use. The level to which they custom-blend their products is pretty incredible. After the facial, the make-up artist custom-blended my foundation using their mineral-based system. She also custom-blended a blush for for me that was discontinued almost a year ago by another brand (I did not know that you can bring in any make-up and they can match the color. She was able to match the color precisely. I also had a great pedicure there. Definitely 2 thumbs up for this place -- it's a rare gem!
