Spa soak is wonderful. I had not been here in years but there is a reason why they have been around for so long. The spa is beautiful, and the staff is absolutely wonderful. I had a signature facial with Tegan and I cannot say enough good things about it. She is extremely diligent with extractions, and extremely knowledgeable about aesthetics. Gave great recommendations for products for my skin and after care. She was absolutely a delight; u will definitely be back to see her again!

I had SUCH a great facial here the other day. I went in asking to help hydrate my skin and came out glowing. It's been over 2 weeks and my face is still so soft and smooth. I've also come here for pedicures before and they are spectacular. A true spa experience. Highly highly recommend.

I originally booked a session with a different spa that had to cancel my appointment at the last minute due to extensive remodeling, which was very upsetting since I was traveling from out of state for it. I called multiple locations looking for last-minute openings and was fortunate enough to find an appointment available at Spa Soak, for which I am grateful. However, I have to say that my experience was quite mediocre. A previous review questioned why this place is called Spa Soak since there are no spa treatments or soaking experiences available, and I found that to be true. In a typical spa, you would receive a robe to change into, but at Spa Soak, you are taken into a room and told, "Okay, I'll be back." The initial intake was minimal, only asking about some focus areas, which seemed surprising for a new client. I had booked an 80-minute hot stone massage. In my past experiences, hot stone massages involved the therapist using the hot stones to apply pressure to tension spots. However, at Spa Soak, the stones seemed to be used simply to warm my body—similar to rubbing your arms for warmth—before the therapist massaged by hand. No pressure was applied using the stones at all. Additionally, the treatment rooms had a lot of light. Although curtains were used to dim the room, they did not create a relaxing atmosphere. The location on a busy street in Chicago contributed to the noise level; I could hear people screaming, cars honking, and music blasting from nearby vehicles. This is understandable in a typical setting, but it was not at all relaxing for a spa experience. Overall, Spa Soak may be suitable for basic treatments, but I wouldn't recommend it as a place for a relaxing escape.

Checked out Spa Soak in Wicker Park for a 60-min therapeutic massage—ran me about $100. The massage was decent, but the pressure was inconsistent, and the session felt a bit rushed. The spa has a cozy vibe, but the creaky floors made it hard to fully relax. Staff was friendly, but the overall experience didn't quite match the price point. Might give it another shot, but not in a hurry.
