Huntley, IL Spa and Massage

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.

M.GO Fashion Salon beautifies clients from moptop to toe within a three-level boutique that doles out salon treatments, makeup services, and chic attire. Trend-savvy sales associates help customers select a stylish outfit from the boutique's selection of threads, with new pieces arriving every two weeks via delivery truck or employed cat. Outdated hairstyles reform into runway-worthy configurations on the salon floor, and experienced stylists fortify locks with top-shelf products by Osis and S-Factor. Countenances prep for time in the flashbulbs with artist Irma on the makeup floor deploying Smart Chic Makeup palates—precustomized color mixes that pair well for daytime errands, nights on the town, and midafternoon spelunking.

Beneath a delicate chandelier in L'Etoile Salon, pulchritude professionals stand ready to pamper patrons with an arsenal of earth-friendly products. Rich plum walls, gauzy gilded curtains, and gold-trimmed furnishings supply Marie Antoinette–like resplendence more effectively than topping coat racks in powdered wigs.

SpaForever has earned recognition from Chicago-area publications, including Time Out Chicago and Chicago Social , for its array of soothing day-spa services. Hypoallergenic skincare sessions counterbalance facials with resurfacing glycolic acid or a nourishing multivitamin mask, preventing embarrassing, heart-shaped hives. Five modalities of massage range from traditional Swedish strokes to the artful stretches of Thai bodywork. The staff can also evict fuzz from head to feet with wax and its digital cousin, the laser.

Inside SpaForever, a pure-white reception area accented with marine-blue and grass-green accents lead guests toward private treatment rooms. The rooms keep the light level low and conducive to sheep counting. Clients can plug in their mp3 players and relax to their own music rather than pester therapists for an a cappella rendition of "Master of Puppets."

The skilled stylists and aestheticians at Glamour Beauty Salon pamper clients from head to toe with fashion-savvy hair, nail, and depilatory services. Threading experts lasso wayward strands of hair with cotton threads to keep eyebrows in line, and mehndi body artists adorn hands with intricate Indian designs or calligraphic to-do lists. Facials imbue visages with a burst of hydration that leaves pores open and clean, and mani-pedis embellish nails with shining coats of lacquer. The salon’s unassuming Devon Avenue storefront welcomes walk-in customers to indulge impulsively seven days a week.
