Sixth Sense Spa

I had a wonderful first time bikini wax experience here. Mika the owner is a wonderful, patient and lovely person who took good care of me. I highly recommend this place. Thank you!

Hello again. Okay this time I had the spa pedicure. Wow talk about pampered. I absolutely loved it … Foot bath oils massage and paraffin treatment felt amazing. Needless to say after a winter of boots my toes and feet rejoiced with the excellent attention Mika gives … She helped me choose the nail polish leaving final decision up to me… I now have beautiful happy feet thanks to Mika and her expert foot and nail care. Don’t mind saying my toes were a little beat up looking but now they look like they’ve had years of care. This is my go to for nails and waxing. (got my butt cheeks waxed). Never done that before but treat yourself I swear my butt is as soft as a baby’s Once again magnificent job and well worth travel time. Will return for tune ups as needed. Love you Mika!

I felt really shy about my first Brazilian and Mika made feel very comfortable. She was so normalizing about it and had a great sense of humor. I’ve been back several times since for the same service because she is so thorough and does a great job. Everyone at Sixth sense is very friendly.

Since discovering Sixth Sense I’ve stopped going anywhere else — including Mario Tricoci — for spa services. The staff are all highly trained and skilled, the benefits are long-​lasting, and the owner bends over backwards to be reasonable, kind, and helpful. What a pleasure.

The time has come to write this review. I waited for over a year because my best friends got me a gift certificate here with the best intentions, and so I felt bad reviewing this place poorly. I am honestly surprised by the positive reviews.
I got waxing and a facial. The quality of both was good, however everything else about the experience was poor, and quite offensive. For the prices charged by this salon, it is very bare bones, looks like a cheap nail salon. I would never call this a «spa.» Halfway through the waxing, by who I think is the owner, we were chatting and I mentioned that my friends had bought me a gift certificate for my birthday. She stopped talking and then blurted out «well you know you have to pay the remainder of the price.» What… yes, I know how money and gift certificates work and anyways, it covered the whole waxing. She went on about how I was so lucky to have GC, because waxes aren’t cheap. OK.
Next the facial. To be fair, the facial was good, but the technician was talking to me the ENTIRE time. And not just small talk. She started asking me when I was going to have kids, when I may get a new job — things that do NOT make for a relaxing experience. But overall she was knowledgable and everything went smoothly.
To top it all off, the second I walked out of the facial, the woman who had done the waxing was there waiting for me, scratch that, waiting for my money. She said — «ok let’s get this settled up now because you still owe me money.»
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just had amazing facial and massage at Sixth Sense Spa!
Relaxing, clean environment, friendly courteous customer service. I recommend it to everyone. Definitely five stars!!!

Call to confirm prices just in case. Very professional service.

Wow! I was amazed at the level of customer service at Sixth Sense! My girlfriend and I were in town and on a whim, decided to get massages and pedicures. We called and were able to get in within hours for a same-​day appointment. Even more unbelievable, is we wanted our massages at the same time and to get pedicures together. Not many spas can accommodate such a request on a moment’s notice. We later learned the massage therapists were called in and traveled across town during rush hour for our appointment.
We both had relaxing and restorative massages, which, after our seven hour car ride from Minnesota, felt like being reborn. The massage therapists are very respectful of your privacy and use a sheet to keep you both warm and comfortable.
Our pedicures were awesome! They don’t have massaging basins for your feet, but they do have massaging chairs. I work retail and am always on my feet, and my feet were so not ready for sandal weather. My nail tech handled my disgusting scaly talons like a pro. We’re totally coming back soon.

I met with Mika the owner. I let her know it was my first time getting the Brazilian Wax, she told me not to worry and i didn’t! I was so comfortable with her she’s so great. It wasn’t as painful as I thought it would be. I would definitely recommend and I will be back! Thanks Mika!

A great experience getting all my hair removed– the owner did a fantastic job. She is cool, the location is convenient, appointments were available that worked with my schedule… I’ve already booked my second visit!

A wonderful, pain-​free waxing experience from Mika! I am usually in and out in no time at all and never have trouble getting an appointment. This place is a great value for the quality of service provided. I keep coming back, because no matter how many other places I try, nothing compares to the great styling and technique at Sixth Sense Spa.

Mika is the BEST. I’ve gotten a Brazilian from here and I refuse to go anywhere else. I have sensitive skin, but she gets it done quick, efficiently, and is painless as a Brazilian can be. I’ve been to numerous places is the city, suburbs, and Evanston, and Mika is number one. Go see her!

The facial. Get it.
I came in for a facial when I was unable to schedule a cortisone injection with my dermotologist on short notice (I have cystic acne and had developed a large painful cyst in my forehead before a big trip). Honestly, I was grasping at straws — cystic acne is typically not at all treatable cosmetically, you just need to take a needle full of steroids to the stupid things.
So, I came in for the facial hoping for something that would just calm my skin a bit. After talking to the facialist, she recommended a chemical peel, which I had never done before.
Holy moly, the thing worked wonders. Not only did it resurface the rest of my skin and leave me all glowy and whatnot, it did such a good job exfoliating the top layers of my skin that I was able to easily extract the cyst at home a few days later, and it was basically gone in time for my trip.
I will be making this chemical peel thing part of my regular routine.
A quick note on the actual place: it is tiny and non-​descript in the corner of an office building lobby. You don’t come here for the ambiance, you come here because they know what they’re doing! Total gem.

I work in Evanston and have been looking for a great place to get my nails done. I’ve been to almost every other nail place in Evanston, and have had mediocre experiences and terrible experiences. I turned to Unilocal,yet again to find a nail place to try and came across all of the great reviews. Making an appointment was easy and I was thrilled with the results of my first pedicure. I’ve since been back several times and each pedicure I have received is amazing.
I also had my eyebrows waxed during my most recent visit and they look terrific.
Very clean salon with a wide variety of services, great hours and easy to make appointments. Make an appointment, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommended!

I have been going to this salon for the past year and a half for waxing, eyelash and eyebrow tint. They are hands down the best I have been to. When it comes to your face you don’t want just anyone touching it. They are extremely meticulous, professional, friendly, and use high quality products. I go out of my way to drive 30 minutes just to have these services done at Sixth Sense. Evertime I have my eyebrows waxed, tinted, and eyelash tint I get compliments from strangers, including accomplishec makeup artists. If you want quality services, I highly recommend Sixth Sense.

Fairly pain-​free waxing and good, efficient service. I couldn’t ask for more!

This place is a GEM. I have been a loyal waxing client for over 5 years and refuse to go anywhere else! In fact, I no longer live in Evanston and still commute 30+ mins to Sixth Sense Spa about once a month. I even commuted from Madison, WI!!!
Mika (the Owner) and Heather are both INCREDIBLE and make any wax as painless as possible. They are extremely welcoming, talkative, thorough and efficient! The prices are very fair for the high quality that is offered. I’ve tried other services (facial, pedicure) and found them to be on par with the waxing.
I’d like to bring up that I’ve tried a larger salon in Evanston (Sixth Sense was closed on a Sunday, and I was desperate). I had a HORRIBLE experience with an inexperienced esthetician for nearly double the price. After that, I’ve been on a strict Sixth Sense Spa regimen.
AGAIN, I LOVE THIS PLACE, and I KNOW that you will not regret going! I’ve referred many friends to this place, and everyone has been a huge fan (and is now a recurring client). The atmosphere is quiet, private, and never overly busy. You will not have to wait, and you will be welcomed with open arms. I can’t say enough. Just do it already!

She is very particular and does great job on my nails. Very nice and professional. Very happy with service :)

I needed a full brazilian and half leg done on super short notice in preparation for Valentine’s day weekend. Sixth Sense Spa was INCREDIBLE. They were able to squeeze me in for a same day appointment! The service was done with total precision, and it was super quick without feeling rushed. I would recommend Sixth Sense Spa to anyone who values outstanding, fast service. I am really picky about my bikini waxes, but it was done perfectly – no stray hairs left behind, not even in the little hidden folds!

I have had my brows professionally done only once, years ago, in another state, on a whim. I get by just fine with some minor tweezing.
Recently I had been using pencil to darken my brows slightly, so I decided to look into getting a tint. I then thought that a nice shaping could be a splurge, too. After reading the Unilocal reviews, I gave Sixth Sense a try. I was able to schedule for a same-​day appointment on Saturday (I love instant gratification!) and I am OBSESSED with how good my brows look. I was a little worried that a wax would leave me looking awful because my brows aren’t unruly or thick, but to my surprise she managed to wax and shape a lot with out robbing me of my natural brow size. The tint accentuates the enhanced shape, but I still look like me.
I am very pleased and fully expect to make a habit out of this.
