Blo Salon and Day Spa treats mugs to time-rewinding galvanic facials in a charming basement storefront. The one-hour treatment slays facial wrinkles, impurities, and fine lines before exiling them to extraterrestrial zip codes. Clients can expect elastin to temporarily return, improving the skin's appearance to that of a 20-something-year-old inheriting a two-bedroom apartment with five feuding roommates. The treatment also hunts wild herds of fat and toxins, smoothing cellulite terrain to clear the land for healthy skin seedlings.

Sonia Salon's titular owner mastered the arts of threading, waxing, and facials in India, where she ran her own salon for more than 18 years. After relocating to Chicago, she opened Sonia Salon, where she makes over men and women with services such as waxing, acrylic nail art, and mani-pedis. Sonia also applies her experience in the fine arts to trace intricate, nonpermanent henna tattoos on clients' skin.

Beneath a delicate chandelier in L'Etoile Salon, pulchritude professionals stand ready to pamper patrons with an arsenal of earth-friendly products.
