Happy Galentine’s from the Chicago spa that loves you!

Leslie Knope, played by Amy Poehler, may have introduced us to Galentine’s Day within the fictional confines of Parks and Recreation, but these days the celebration is real! And we couldn’t be happier. Love may be in the air wherever you look, but at Spa Space – the unofficially official Galentine’s Day spa in Chicago – we know who the really important people in our lives are.

As Leslie herself said, “We need to remember what’s important in life: friends, waffles, work. Or waffles, friends, work. Doesn’t matter, but work is third.”

Galentine’s Day is February 13th, but why limit this fabulous celebration to a single day. Here at Spa Space we are lobbying to make Galentine’s a monthlong celebration.  You could treat each other to a great Galentine’s spa deal at Chicago’s Spa Space, like:

  • The Mini Me Pamper Package: $199 (includes 18% gratuity), which includes a 30-minute Signature Massage (one of the best massages in Chicago!), plus an express facial, mini-pedicure and a Signature Manicure. Bliss!
  • Love Yourself Package: $188 (includes 18% gratuity), which includes either a 50-minute Signature Massage or a 50-minute Signature Facial (facials in Chicago don’t get better than this!) PLUS a 70-minute Mega Massage Pedicure! Yum!

Of course, if you prefer, you could follow in Leslie Knope’s footsteps. She gave out gift bags to her friends on Galentine’s Day, each of which she told them contained, “A bouquet of hand crocheted flower pens, a mosaic portrait of each of you made from the crushed bottles of your favorite diet soda and a personalized 5,000-word essay of why you are all so awesome.”

Whatever you’re celebrating this month, we’ll look forward to welcoming you to Spa Space, voted not just one of the best Chicago spas, but THE best spa in Chicago! (We love you, too!)

What better way to put your best foot forward into the fall season than with a spa deal on a pedicure at one of the most innovative spas in Chicago!

November is the perfect time to enjoy a pampering pumpkin pedicure (say that 10 times fast!). After being enveloped in a creamy and fragrant pumpkin mask, your feet will feel softer and silkier and your skin will be smoother. Pumpkins not only make lattes taste amazing, they are actually full of antioxidants like vitamin A and beta-carotene that are great for your skin. For the finishing touch, you can polish up your look with a color palette of bold autumn hues for your toes. Bring a bottle of wine and a group of friends and settle in to our private pedicure suite for a pre-holiday treat. 

It’s hard to believe but Thanksgiving is just around the corner! If you find family gatherings a little stressful or if you’re in training to take on the Black Friday crowds, you’ll be interested in our next November spa deal!

  • Space Ritual Massage (a $150 value!) this month only $129

This personalized massage treatment is one of the reasons Spa Space is consistently rated among the best Chicago spas. The Space Ritual uses a range of light, medium and deep pressure massage modalities to give you a customized massage that is both relaxing and therapeutic. With a customized combination of massage therapies – which can include Deep Tissue, Swedish, Reflexology, Aromatherapy, Heated Stone Therapy and Indian Head Massage – it’s no wonder this full-body massage is our most popular massage treatment.

  • Aqua-Dermabrasion Facial (a $200 value!) this month, only $175

Aqua dermabrasion is kinder to your skin than traditional microdermabrasion techniques. This results-driven facial – one of the most effective facials in Chicago! – cleanses, smooths, tightens skin, and provides optimal hydration, leaving your skin hydrated, glowing and healthy as you face the harsh conditions of the coming winter. Aqua dermabrasion also minimizes dilated pores and acne, and helps heal skin damaged by the summer sun. UV-free LED light boosts collagen production. The result is an even, radiant complexion you have to experience to believe. When you see the family for this year’s Thanksgiving celebration, they’ll all swear you get younger every year!

And – if you want to plan ahead for a wintery wonderland of soft, glowing skin, go ahead and sign up for our special aqua dermabrasion promotion.  For a limited time, you can buy a series of 6 treatments for $1050!

Package Pairings

Have you experienced the East Meets West Package at Spa Space yet? It is inspired by Eastern sensibilities, where wellness encompasses both body and mind.

Spring Ahead: Let Chicago’s best spa help you adjust to the time change

This weekend, it will be time to set our clocks ahead one hour for the start of Daylight Savings Time. We’ll all be losing an hour and that can be hard on your body – especially if you’re already tired or sleep deprived.

“If you are getting seven to eight hours of sound sleep and go to bed a little early the night before, you may wake up feeling refreshed. If you are sleep-deprived already, getting by on six hours, you’re probably in a bit of trouble, especially if you consume alcohol or caffeine close to bedtime,” the experts at WebMD tell us. “In this situation, you may well experience the decrements of performance, concentration, and memory common to sleep-deprived individuals, as well as fatigue and daytime sleepiness.”

Our sleep cycles are largely regulated by our circadian rhythms.  “If you’ve ever noticed that you tend to feel energized and drowsy around the same times every day, you have your circadian rhythm to thank,” the National Sleep Foundation says. “What is it, exactly? Your circadian rhythm is basically a 24-hour internal clock that is running in the background of your brain and cycles between sleepiness and alertness at regular intervals. It’s also known as your sleep/wake cycle.”

It’s great to have the light shining on long summer nights but for many of us, the switch to Daylight Savings Time means we’ll be getting up in the dark – and your body isn’t going to like that.  As WebMD explains, light is what rules your circadian rhythm – and you can use it to help your body adjust to the time change.  “Light suppresses the secretion of the sleep-inducing substance melatonin. So it is important to expose yourself to the light during the waking hours as much as possible, and conversely, do not expose yourself to bright light when it is dark outside,” WebMD says. “For example, if you get up at night to go to the bathroom, do not turn on the light. Prepare beforehand by installing a night light.”

The experts at WebMD also say that practicing good sleep hygiene can help.  “Sleep hygiene is a term used to describe those actions you can take to create sleep-friendly environments and enhance your chances of falling asleep, staying asleep, and sleeping soundly,” they explain. “Basic sleep hygiene includes reducing or eliminating caffeine and alcohol, exercising several hours before bedtime, creating calming rituals before bed to gradually relax yourself (taking a hot bath for example), and wearing ear plugs and eye masks, to name a few. Also important is going to bed and rising at the same time every day. Though there is no evidence that certain diets will actually influence your circadian rhythm, carbohydrates tend to make it easier to fall sleep.”

A revitalizing treatment at Spa Space, which consistently ranks among the best Chicago spas, may also help you adjust to the time change.

Consider a fabulous Chicago massage or, perhaps, an invigorating Exfoliating Body Scrub. Our facial-grade aromatic body scrubs invigorate, exfoliate and leave the skin velvety smooth. The full-body treatment is concluded with the application of a luxurious hydrating moisturizer to give your skin a healthy glow.

Spa Space is one of the most progressive spas in Chicago. Our holistic approach body and mind wellness can help you cope with many of the stresses and strains of this thing we call life. Our carefully-selected, licensed and highly trained professionals have passion for their craft and a dedication to continuing education in their field, and this makes all the difference as they customize each service to the individual. Located in the West Loop, Spa Space offers incredible Chicago massages, revitalizing body treatments and more. Whether you’re looking for a men’s spa, the perfect place for a couples’ spa day or fabulous facials in Chicago, Spa Space is the best day spa in Chicago.

New Year, New Experiences at Spa Space!

At Spa Space, consistently ranked among the best Chicago spas, we are always looking for new ways to make your life shine even more. Whether it’s training for our massage therapists, the introduction of exciting new products or changes to the physical environment that surrounds you while you enjoy a therapeutic massage or revitalizing facial at Chicago’s best day spa.

 

Here are a few of the new experiences you can look forward to exploring at Chicago’s Spa Space:

 

  • You know that saying, it’s not what you know, but who you know? Well, when it comes to the story behind our new top-of-table experience that is definitely true. Spa Space owner Ilana Alberico’s husband, Vincent Alberico, just happens to own a shop in Atlanta that specializes in luxurious organic beds and bedding. Ilana was able to tap his expertise to create a unique new top-of-table experience at Spa Space, which is known in Chicago for massages and more!

 

When you step into our treatment rooms for a fabulous Chicago spa massage or other wonderful treatment, you will find the treatment table is outfitted with an unbelievably plush 2.5″ thick alternative-down topper made with organic cotton to ensure your experience is exceptionally comfortable. And, to ensure you’ll be able to relax in warm contentment, you will also find a prima alternative-down queen-sized duvet that you can climb under.

 

  • We are also very proud to announce that Spa Space is now offering botanically based and results-driven skincare products from Privai. In fact, the founder and CEO of Privai, Christina Rumbley Stratton, traveled from North Carolina to our Chicago spa so that she could personally connect with the team. And you know anyone who travels to Chicago in January is dedicated!

 

To celebrate the introduction of the exclusive Privai product line at Spa Space, the best day spa in Chicago, and allow you an opportunity to discover the Privai difference, we are offering a trio of specials during the month of February showcasing our new Privai services:

 

Privai’s Ultra Rich Body Butter will take your pedicure to a new level! See for yourself by booking our new Deep Moisture Pedicure. A $70 value, this ultra-hydrating pedicure is available for $60 this month only. You’ve been hiding your feet in thick socks and boots all winter, but spring is just around the corner. This treatment will help you get your feet ready for their big warm-weather reveal!

 

Our Antioxidant Glow Facial is one of the best spa deals in Chicago! This month you’ll pay only $99 for this $120 value! This is our newest facial treatment, but people are already talking about it. The star here are the antioxidant-rich serums and anti-aging botanicals from Privai. If you’re looking for a fabulous facial in Chicago that will banish dull winter skin and get you glowing again, this is it! To make sure those potent Privai products penetrate your deeply, which is what is needed to give that gorgeous, natural glow, our skincare experts will provide a stimulating facial massage using our rose quartz facial roller. In addition to enhancing penetration, the roller tones skin for results you can see!

 

We have also expanded our menu of Chicago massages. The new Antioxidant Repair Massage, a $115 value, is just $99 during the month of February. This revitalizing and rejuvenating service begins with a silk-polish back scrub. After that, you will enjoy a customized full-body pressure massage featuring powerful Antioxidant Repair from Privai. This new customized massage soothes and relaxes the body while conditioning and strengthening the skin. That’s a win-win for sure!

Calling All Men to Spa Space

If you’ve been wondering what to get that special guy for a holiday gift this year – even if that special guy is you – look no further than Spa Space, the Chicago spa with the reputation of being one of the best Chicago spas. Spa Space is your preferred spa in downtown Chicago. Located in the West Loop, Spa Space is considered the most progressive Chicago spa downtown for men and women. Focusing on the therapeutic approach to massage and innovations in skin care services and products, Spa Space is unique in its approach to treating body and mind.

Spa Space is acclaimed as a men’s spa. Our environment is very comfortable for men, offering a men’s locker room with steam/rain showers and a men’s relaxation lounge. While all of our services are appropriate for men, some of our most popular services chosen by men include:

Fitness Facial (anti-aging, soothing, rosacea-safe, plant-based) – Our trademark facial for healthy skin. See and feel an immediate difference in texture, clarity and smoothness. This facial is meticulously customized to your skin’s needs: whether it’s intense hydration, clearing breakouts, or repairing sun damage and fine lines. This high-performance, results-oriented treatment combines a gentle glycolic solution with active ingredients and a stimulating facial massage.

Men’s Deep Clean Facial (all skin types) – Using products designed to remove dead skin cells and thoroughly clean the pores, this facial leaves the skin renewed and balanced. Ingrown hairs and breakout-prone areas are addressed.

Instant-Lift Brightening Facial (hyper-pigmentation, dull, aging skin) – Improves elasticity, color tone, balance and overall skin health. Producing the most noticeable instant results, this advanced anti-aging treatment uses enzyme-proteins that increase the elasticity of the skin, with application of layered tightening masks. The highly restorative components of Epicuren’s active enzyme vitamin protein complex were originally developed for burn treatment, and then modified and perfected for treatment of healthy human skin.

Back Facial – Your esthetician will customize the treatment to best suit your skin type. This hard to reach and oft-neglected area will be given a true “facial”: a deep-cleansing, exfoliation, extractions if needed, and a mask to balance the skin.

Ultimate Eye Treat – The healing and restorative powers of collagen are infused into the delicate eye area for improved elasticity, smoothing and plumping fine lines.

Facial Bronzing Application – Your esthetician will expertly apply a layer of non-pore-clogging tanning product to give your restored skin a healthy, sun-kissed glow. The ideal time to bronze is immediately following exfoliation and hydration.

Spa Space also offers a variety of peels for men, including a Brightening Hot Peel (tightening mask), Pigment Balancing Peel, Microdermabrasion (all skin types, anti-aging, anti-acne (non-cystic))), and Dermaplaning plus Peel.

Of course, in addition to facials in Chicago, Spa Space is also down for massage in downtown Chicago, pedicures in Chicago, and more. There’s plenty to do to allow you to enjoy Spa Space as a day spa in Chicago – and it’s also known as a couples day spa. Bring that special someone with you and live it up at Spa Space.
