Chicago Ridge, IL Spa and Massage

Allyu Spa has a 4.5-star average on Yelp:

Many of us experience chronic headaches, inflammation, fibromyalgia, and other maladies—it's a sad fact of life. We try to curb the discomfort caused by these ailments with strategies ranging from the pedestrian ‘take lots of aspirin’ and ‘suffer in silence’ to the drastic ‘submit to bloodletting’ and ‘drink excess amounts of Bacardi products’. Unfortunately, many of us find these solutions ineffective and we end up back at square one. Well, put down your swizzle sticks and leeches and check out Groupon's discount on a three-step bio-detoxification program at Total Health Solutions for just $125—a 69% discount on a $400 value.

With today's side deal, $65 gets you $130 worth of services at Holistic Health Practice, the River North spot for alternative healing. Choose from an array of nontraditional therapies to get your energy on track, your spine in line, and your muscles humming with happiness. The friendly practitioners and staff at Holistic Health Practice will put you at ease and listen to your needs to treat your whole person instead of targeting a local symptom. You may find your achy back and pinkie hangnail, though seemingly unrelated, stem from the same problem.

An upscale barbershop with a 1960s Las Vegas ambience, 316 Club's snappy snippers dapper up dudes with luxuriant grooming services. The 316 haircut package starts things off with a massaging shampoo before your stylist cuts, carves, and curves your manly coiffure. Afterward, relax with a hot towel as scruffy shoes are spruced up with a thorough shoe shine, ridding them of any caked-on street dirt, street grime, or street glitter. After a week in corporate combat, losing precious free time away from the big game or a bar in the name of beauty can sound painful. But shag snipping at 316 Club's guy-friendly salon is something to look forward to. Kick back in front of the fireplace with a complimentary beer, shoot pool, or watch the spa’s flat-screen TVs as you wait to get manscaped.

Despite a long list of beautifying hair services and soothing massages, the most important sense at C'zar Salon-Spa is not sight or touch, but smell. Stemming from natural Aveda products, aromas drift throughout the space, tinting the air with rosemary, peppermint, and lavender scents that evoke pastoral scenes pulled straight out of the organic farms on which many of their ingredients grew. The Stress-Fix line of lotions—whose fragrances help to reduce anxiety—cloaks hands and feet in sage during specialty mani-pedis, and customized blends of essential oils augment Elemental Nature massages and facials.

Plants play a role in even the most detailed procedures at C'zar Salon-Spa. Flowers contribute extracts to the salon's cosmetics, and Nufree hair-removal formulas provide a botanical alternative to wax that's more gentle than tweezing with a venus flytrap. Although they don't incorporate leafy greens, wellness treatments such as acupuncture and cupping strive to round out makeovers by goading the body’s healing processes. For special events, the staff can accommodate groups inside the calming venue or transport their perfumed practices to a specified location.

Profiled by Chicago Social Brides, Crave Chicago, and Today’s Chicago Woman, The Spa on Oak delivers thorough, custom treatments that prep skin and hair for special events or everyday style. A full hour is set aside for each massage and facial, which all commence with 10 minutes of consulting time. Facial tools and ingredients include diamond-tipped microdermabrasion wands, glycolic formulas, and oxygen, which clients can store in their pores for their next scuba trip. Salon services and waxing are also available to round out complete spa makeovers.
