Soothe Spa Studio, Lake Bluff

In addition to beautifying clients and revitalizing appearances, Soothe Spa Studio strives to serve as a relaxing haven where guests can escape from everyday stressors, if only for an hour or two. Here, massage therapists use gentle, flowing Swedish strokes in order to alleviate stress and improve joint mobility, or employ deep-tissue and hot-stone treatments to work out painful knots beneath the surface. Meanwhile, facials restore the skin's naturally radiant tone and youthful texture as the aestheticians conceal the appearance of blemishes such as fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, and acne. Other Soothe Spa specialties include waxing treatments, as well as eyelash extensions, which are applied using medical-grade adhesive instead of cement.
