Dao Spa & Salon

I’m glad to have found this hidden gem. I know there are a lot of foot spa places out there but let me tell you why this one is my favorite.
1. The heated rice pack for your lower back that you lay on while your feet, neck, arms, legs, and shoulders are massaged is a seemingly small but welcome addition to the service.
2. They use hot stones on your legs and it feels amazing.
3. While your back is getting worked out your hands are dipped in a fragrant paraffin wax.
4. Men and women are treated equally. I’ve been to another foot spa that allows men to be shirtless while women massage them. Whereas women receiving the same service are fully clothed with towels over their clothes. Needless to say, some guests at that foot spa are getting a better service than others.
5. Lastly, the place is immaculate, and the staff is friendly.

What an awful experience! I went here after hitting weights at the gym next door. They were completely unorganized and told me to wait for a foot massage. So I get taken back into the open room and the guy says «sit». Ummm ok. So I sit. and wait. About 10 minutes goes by and the guy comes back with mild water and goes to work. Honestly my 5 year old could have rubbed my feet better. During the 30 minute massage some creepy Chinese guy stands in the middle of the room watching everyone’s feet get rubbed, maybe he’s the owner but really strange thing to do. Also expect the massage therapists to talk in Chinese amongst each other while you’re trying to relax. Gave a 5 dollar tip and could tell the guy was mad. Give better service and get a bigger tip.

I have been 3 times prior to today and have had good experiences. Today was not the same, the person doing my foot massage skipped many steps and including the paraffin wax of my hands. When it was time to leave he also asked me for a tip. I don’t know if I will be back.

Been back three times since the first review, twice for 30 min foot massages and once for a full body massage. Quality of the staff seems to vary. Vic is AWESOME — the full body massage with him was one of the best I’ve had, and he was great at digging into problem areas around my neck and shoulders. Foot massage with a female technician, who seemed much less experienced and couldn’t give me enough pressure despite repeated requests, was a disappointment.

I got a full body massage today and it was amazing. I will definitely be back, plus they’re only 5mins from my house. I appreciated the cleanliness, attentiveness, and use of hot stones. It was a totally relaxing experience for a great price.

This is an absolutely beautiful spa– Very clean, visually appealing, and relaxing! I’ve been here 3 times and all three times have been a pleasant experience.
The only problem I had was that my husband made an appointment for me to get a full body massage as a Mother’s Day gift; when I got there, i was like, «Hi, I’m here for my 10 o’clock appointment.» The lady didn’t ask my name or anything she just said (in broken English), «sure, come on back». They sat me in one of their immediate beds (there’s like 10 of them in the same room with zero privacy [in hindsight this should have been my first red flag]). I wasn’t sure what to do so I kinda just sat there and the guy brought me a large wooden basin to soak my feet in (this was nice). He told me to lie back; I complied– as all this is happening, I’m wondering what the hell is going on and why aren’t I in a private room with my top off getting ready to get my back massaged, but whatevs.
As my feet continue to soak, my face gets massaged, then my head, followed by arms, neck, shoulders, legs & feet (they spent a good 30 minutes on my legs and feet). He then told me to lie on my stomach where he continued to massage my back (he was a little rough, but once I told him it hurt a little, he was much more gentle).
Any who, OVERALL I was very relaxed, I just figured this place did full body massages different than what I was used to and I was OK with that. I went to the register and take out the gift card to go pay, the lady immediately says (upon seeing the gift card) «that card is for a full body massage. You got relaxation massage. Relaxation massage only $ 29.» I’m like, «???, I had an appointment for a full body massage and I said I was here for that appointment.» She wasn’t understanding what i was saying. No one was. In the end she just took the payment off the gift card and gave me a gift certificate for the remaining balance.
The whole time I was wishing one of them spoke fluent English. I will return to use the remaining balance and next time will ensure that I am more specific as to why I’m there. Aside from that, it was a nice experience.

Fantastic service all around! Highly recommended! Great massage and professional treatment. I have been going every week… I walk out there feeling completely refresh, comfortable and ready float away. I always look forward to my next massage.

I’ve been to many high profile spas in the states and abroad, and I can honestly say that this was the ABSOLUTE BEST spa I’ve ever been to. The employees took the experience to the next level, their prices are fantastic, and the amenities are beautiful. My massage was extensive and had so many unexpected treats (hot stones were a nice touch!) The atmosphere was so elegant and complimented the relaxing music and lighting. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes being pampered

The best Foot massage in oak lawn. I saw the deal didn’t want to pass it up. It was $ 29 for 1 hour. Satisfaction of services will be therapist based. 5-​star –slow –firm –attentive to my body language –upper shoulder manual adjusting –Egyptian cotton towels

This place is AMAZING！They have the best therapists and prices. I try and make it once a week if possible. please give it a try you won’t be disappointed! Excellent service! Will return for sure… and I’m sending all of my friends :) Very satisfied customer.

I like this place. very petty and High-​grade decoration
I have a habit of getting too comfortable and falling asleep during massages, but from what I remember:
— It’s very quiet, except for the relaxing music
— They give your feet a good soaking
— They start by working your neck, shoulders, and arms
— They dry your feet and work them one at a time with lotion
— They clean all the lotion off with a warm wet towel before drying them off
— Somehow they know that your throat is dry… witchcraft! They offer you water
— If you paid for the combo, they recline your chair until it’s a massage table and work your back
— Optional Glute and hamstring massage, always relaxing just go for it
Don’t forget to tip; the first time I went I forgot, then later when I went back and tipped extra big to someone else to make up for it (thus bringing balance to the universe).
Some people will say «just feets! I’d rather get my whole back and body done!» Well, there are places for that, but you can squeeze this in on a lunch break without an appointment.

This spa is really verb good, My head, neck and back are very tired, very relaxed after spa, I need it!
