About You Day Spa

I called this morning to book an appointment for myself and my friend for her birthday. Whoever answered the phone was very rude. She answers saying «hello» and didn’t even specify that I was calling a business. I asked «is this about you day spa in north park or do I have a wrong number» and she replied «ya». Rude and short– and still didn’t clarify anything. I said «so this is the spa» she said «ya». I said «I was hoping I could make an appointment I saw that you have a groupon» she replied «ya». So I said «you know what never mind you’re not helpful at all and your just rude.»
I cannot believe the lack of customer service. If you’re going to assign someone the job of answering the phone then make sure they are personable because you have not only lost valuable business but you’ve earned yourself an awful review. By putting out a groupon I would guess that you are trying to generate buzz about your company or drive business– you’ve definitely generated buzz but not in a good sense whatsoever. We have now spent over 300 dollars at another spa to pamper ourselves today. Sorry for your loss. I hope that whoever manages this business will take action to prevent this from happening to future clients or potential clients.

Great 15 dollar pedicure.

Went here for a pedicure… which was only $ 15! She did a really good job, and it certainly didn’t seem rushed or lower in quality given how cheap it was. Will definitely be back!

Favorite place to get a pedi & a shellac mani. Super friendly and I can always get an appointment the same day I call.
There is parking on Grim Ave in the alley.

I tried this place 18mths ago for a rejuvenation facial as per a friends recommendation. The lady that did my facial did a great job. Thus me booking an appointment to get the same treatment done again. The lady that did the treatment this time was HORRIBLE. The spa was completely empty. I guess that should have been a warning sign to the buzzing spa I attended previously. The therapist was so rough. Facials are suppose to be relaxing and comforting. This was far from it. I also got a half leg wax and she clearly didn’t know how to wax either. I had red marks all over my legs from where she pulled the wrong way. I cant emphasize enough to stay away from this place. There are much better spa out there. Don’t waste your money.

I found out about this place in a «Get 1 Free» coupon book for local businesses. I needed a bikini wax and figured for $ 20.00 I would give them a try. The owner who said her name was My Li was very friendly and pleasant as well as the salon. I was looking forward to a good job being done. She proceeded to put what she called a «cooling gel» on so that it would be less painful. I thought this was very considerate. I did not notice any numbing after about 10 – 15 minutes. What I DID notice was the smell of a depilatory! I kept waiting for her to put the wax on and it never happened! She just wiped it off and used a skin conditioning lotion with menthol to mask the smell. When I let her know she kept saying she was a professional and many people were happy. The ad in t he magazine was for different types of WAXING not cream hair removal. I had that at home and didn’t need to pay someone $ 20.00 to do this. She showed me a jar with a photo copy of something called Cooling Wax. I have googled this and asked salons and no one has ever heard of a cooling wax. A cooling gel for before/​after the waxing but NO cooling wax on it’s own. She then told me when I emphatically let her know that I knew what she did that my next time she would offer me a hot or cold wax! NEXT TIME! HA! I even looked in her wax tin and the wax was there but she NEVER used it. Super disappointed!

I can walk through two parking lots to get to this place so that is a bonus. It is a nice place and the owners are really sweet.
The massage was okay, maybe I just got accustomed to my massage therapist that moved, but it just was not deep enough for me.

Great pedi! Small place; only three pedicure chairs, but great if you are sick of those factory /​assembly line like settings… Here, it was quiet and relaxing. The staff was incredibly polite, professional and accommodating. Reasonable prices and nice atmosphere. Spa also provides massages and facials, plus several hairstylist chairs. Totally recommend!

This place doesn’t look like much from the street, but it’s nice inside! The pedicure massage chairs are great and I like the patio with the fountain. It’s also really hard to beat the prices. I got a full hour-​long mani-​pedi for $ 25, which included a foot and leg massage and sugar scrub. My boyfriend got a haircut from the husband of the woman doing my mani-​pedi and he’s told me multiple times how happy he is with it. He’s really picky about his haircuts, so that was a high compliment!
I recommend calling ahead to schedule because they tend to only have a few people on staff at any given time, but they have always been able to get me in the same day.

Easily one of the best massages I’ve ever had!

Went to this place about 4 months ago. My girlfriend and I were having a bad day, so we looked through the reader and found this place. I have to admit that we got a good deal… I believe at the time it was $ 125 for a 50 min massage, 50 min facial, and spa mani/​pedi. The only thing that saved this place place from getting a lower rating was the massage. that was pretty damn awesome!!!
The ambiance of each individual room was nice, however the outside patio was a bit nasty… lots of flies.

Ok… where do I begin? Here goes:
Parking is a joke. Do not allow Google Maps to give you directions, they are wrong. AND the place doesn’t have very good signs and is tucked away in a corner, so it is pretty hard to find.
Onto the treatments. Ill be honest, I chose this place because the prices seemed reasonable. Seriously, pay a little bit more and go somewhere else!!! Here’s why:
1. My full-​body massage and refluxology: This is the first time I ever got one. I was thinking I would have my stiff shoulders rubbed and the tension released. Instead I felt like I was tortured for over an hour. Instead of rubbing and massaging my body, he would just push on sensitive areas really hard with two fingers. The little hole for your face was too big for me and it either choked me when he push down on me, or I had to rest my chin on this really hard little piece of wood which hurt my chin pretty bad. I was paying A LOT of attention to the fact that I was either choking or had to strain my chin. BEWARE OF THE FOOT MASSAGE!!! Ouch! He squeezes and pinches, and it’s so painful. I have BRUISES on my arms and legs from that massage! It was not pleasurable, I was counting the minutes til it was over! It was also really cold in the room, makes it hard to be comfortable, and the guy breathes REALLY heavily when he’s rubbing you, and it makes you wonder who invited Darth Vader into the room. ALSO… someone came into the room while I was in there (without clothes) and left the door open during my massage!!!
2. My Mud Wrap: Did I mention it was cold in the room? When they take the blanket off of you and start covering you with this watery mud paste, I just started shivering (so cold!). They gave me these see-​through disposable panties to wear, and when they started to take off my blanket to put the mud on, i was feeling VERY awkward when they just uncovered me. I was doing my best to try not to be fully exposed. When they had me shower after the wrap, I had to walk through someone else’s massage to get to it, and be super quiet while showering so as not to fully ruin their experiences. And I heard her (while showering) telling the guy he was hurting her and to please be more gentle. i think he even burned her with a hot towel, because she screamed at one point.
3. My facial: I have burns still. Ill be honest, it wasn’t too bad. My face hurt pretty bad after and still hurts, but im hoping that maybe my skin will look better in a few days. Right now it’s just really red and sore. The worst part of that facial, was when the girl who was doing it, her friend came in, and they just sat there chatting in Vietnamese for a while. I felt like asking if they wanted me to leave the room so they could have their privacy. The girl who did the facial was really nice though.
4. Pedicure and Manicure: I felt somewhat rushed because they were short staffed, but Vivian did a great job, and she was really sweet. The other girl doing pedicures didn’t seem so gentle. Stick with Vivian if you’re gonna go. She’s rad.
In short… don’t go. If you’re looking to be abused, just go down to the ghetto and start talking smack. It’s not worth paying hundreds of dollars to get your butt kicked. Seriously… heed my warning.

I will start my review with a disclaimer that i live in north park and can walk to this place from my house which adds a star. I have only been here to get manis/​pedis and eyebrow waxing, but they also do skin treatments, massages and hair services. The employees are friendly and professional and the place is, clean, which is more than i can say for any of the other nail places i have tried in the area. Also, I have been there about 10 times and have never had to wait more than 5 minutes. I have received services from several different employees there, including the owner and all have been great. Their services are reasonably priced too, about $ 30 for spa mani and pedi and $ 15 for brow wax, plus they have monthly specials.

I found out about this place after attending a Sassy City Chicks event and buying an awesomely priced spa package. Even better, I’m able to upgrade services from this package and save even more as I go along — which I LOVE!
…now, I had never been to a day spa before this visit — so I didn’t really know what to expect… but I got a multi-​power vitamin facial done by Vivian, as well as a microdermabrasion treatment.
so,… I figured taking a layer of cells off would hurt… but it’s actually not that bad. I did look a little wind burnt after the treatment (and felt it) — but now (24 hours later) — my skin tone has improved a good amount and I can’t wait to make this a regular part of my personal regimen.
Overall, it was a cool first time experience — and I look forward to my subsequent visits.
