Throughout the three years I have lived in Chicago, I have made appointments at countless salons but I have never been willing to commit myself to going back a second time. The problem is that I have naturally curly (frizzy) hair that I blow-dry and straighten every day. When I make appointments to get my hair done, I always dread the styling process because stylists usually rush through it and I have to go straight home to re-wash and re-style my hair before I can really see the work that was done on my hair. I have always felt that if I'm paying top dollar I should leave feeling good about my hair. I was so tired of feeling this way that I hadn't had a haircut in a year and I had resorted to coloring my hair myself. Naturally, when a friend recommended that I go to Mary at Salon Soca, I was skeptical.
From the moment I walked into the salon the staff were friendly and accommodating. Mary spent several hours with me, transforming my self-colored, over-processed, frizzy hair into silk. Not only did she take the time to deep condition my hair, but she also listened to me when I warned her that if not styled properly, it would get frizzy. I was amazed at the final result. My color was flawless, my cut was modern and exactly the length I had requested, and for the first time, I was actually excited to walk out of the salon to show off my hairstyle. I will definitely be back to see Mary again!

If you need a massage, go to Anne! I first met her at the Old Town Salon 1800 (where I go for many services), but recently she started working at the Armitage location. My back was in so much pain, and Anne sat down with me to ask questions to figure out what was going on. The massage was really intense, but i walked out feeling like a new person! Now i go there every 3 weeks to see her. If you're in pain, go to see Anne! She'll fix you!
Pros: Best massage I've ever had
Cons: I wish I could get one every week!

I can't say enough good things about this place! Most nail salons I've been to are awful. Usually my nail polish peels off within a day or two. Total waste of money. Not at Mitazi!! This place is so good! The nailpolish looks PERFECT for a whole week! It's a great relaxing atmosphere too! And they always have special treats either donuts, cookies, or cake and coffee for you to nosh on if you have to wait. I recommend getting a french mani or pedi using Essie Mademoiselle. Such a great shade! Looks great on everybody!

Maxine's is a good salon, but nothing special. The three story walk-up building that it is in is cute and it is nicely decorated. The stylists are good but not great. It's often very crowded and doesn't have a relaxed feel. Since their prices went up I have not gone back because I don't think it's worth the price increase. It seems like the kind of place out of towners go to when they want to get their hair done in the city.

Claudia's Skin care has been around for many years for a reason. It's a shame to see others wanting to bash a company that has won awards solely because she wants to cash in on an expired gift certificate and has never even been to Claudia's! These are some of the most professional ladies and are truly passionate at what they do. As soon as you walk in they make sure to make you feel comfortable and at ease. I was starting to get a little blotchy from my pregnancy recently and paid Claudia's skin care a visit. Not only could i feel the difference in my face after the facial but I could see it too! It is completely safe for those who sometimes wonder if getting a facial can be harmful during pregnancy. I HIGHLY recommend you go to Claudia's if your looking for PROFESSIONAL people to analyze and help your skin. Thanks Claudia and Sandy!
Pros: Focuses strictly on skin care

Thanks, Aaron, for these few months of wonderful haircuts! I seem to have been unlucky in the past, as I thought that the long layered cut I always wanted was almost impossible, or that I was just unable to duplicate it at home, but he has given me several lovely, easy-to-style, versatile haircuts that look marvelous for weeks. My hair looks modern but very classic; most of all, it's very ?me,? by virtue, I think, of his caring consultation, ability to listen, and superb judgment about what looks good on me, with my hair type.
He's easy-going in the right way (not cavalier, but nice to talk to) as well as professional- a rare and admirable combination. I will continue coming back as long as I live in Chicago- the right stylist is hard to find, and this one is absolutely great.
Pros: Inexpensive, great customer service

Just notes of thanks for having your place open to me, my friends and family to celebrate my special day!!
I had with me friends I made from Flirty Girl and friends that I wanted to experience Flirty Girl and what a great feeling that place offers! On top of that, having Naledi host the pole dancing session was icing on the cake to make that experience even BETTER…
I was dressed pretty SCANTILY CLAD that night, and felt like a MILLION BUCKS….I surely could not have done that without the empowerment of your facility, staff and members!! Having my friends (who are NOT members) see me and just look at me in COMPLETE AWE of my transformation of the woman I have become….just built my confidence even more! There was one girlfriend of mine that felt so “underdressed”, she completely modified her outfit by tying her pants around her legs!!
Now, onto the party…
The reception/bar staff was quite sweet and accommodating to all my participants and kept that “LIQUID COURAGE” coming!!
Naledi made a very HUGE impact to a lot of my non-member friends as follows:
Ø They left there talking about all the new moves they can do to show their “guys”, especially, since they graduated from “The School of Bootiology” (as Naledi put it)
Ø My much younger cousin, a college graduate from Columbia for Film-Editing, who needed to surround herself with a more positive environment of hard working women (in lieu of hanging our with her peers that have NO direction), could not stop talking and kept questioning about how Naledi became who she is today….with what limited knowledge I knew of Naledi, I expressed to my cousin to not stop what she is truly passionate about…
Ø One of my good friends, who took a previous pole class, and was VERY INTIMIDATED and was very hesitant to come to my party…she came that night convinced that another attempt at the pole will confirm her fears….however, Naledi took the time to explain how she started being scared of the pole and that fate forced her to overcome her fears, and by that, my friend paid attention, and achieved a FULL FIREMAN SPIN…she was jumping with excitement and wouldn’t stop talking about it all night…she will definitely be back!
Ø Another friend, who just NEEDED an excuse to get out and show herself off after having her baby, has now bought a punch card to do more classes, ESPECIALLY Naledi’s!!
Ø And of course, my peeps from Flirty Girl, were very happy to show all the moves and tricks they have learned under Naledi’s many months of instruction, which in turn, amazed my friends to want to come back and get as good as them!! You know they had to take pictures of all they could do, and they were happy to show what Flirty Girl has brought out of them!
With the fabulous establishment, instructor, staff, and good friends I made at Flirty Girl to inspire those I love most to be them and have fun….my party was PERFECT!! Thanks again!!

My girlfriend suprised me with a sports massage @ Energize. I had been to a local Andersonville spa & was not impress.I really wanted a real deep tissue massage by a real therapist. I look up Anthony & Energize on the net, great reviews & what sold me is that he was a former college athlete & ex trainer plus he works out of his home studio & was walking distance. Very professional, he know about different sports which put me at ease, a real jock male who knows sports & muscle injuries. Massage room very comfortable & relaxing.Stretch therapy, deep tissue, pressure in point, excellent, Hamsting treatment, 4 stars. Rate are great , You receive 4 therapy treatments for the price of one,fantastic. This guy is the real deal if you are a serious athlete.
Pros: Deep Tissue, Sports, Runner Stretch Exercise is the best,
Cons: Call early, Same day appointments are not guarantee
