I first went to Ruby Room for an eyebrow wax and I was hooked. Next came a facial, then came a massage. Their spa services are truly the best I've ever received. I love their retail area and it's now my one stop destination for all my skincare and hair products. I've even been buying all my gifts there because they have so many cool things. I eventually found my way upstairs to their healing sanctuary and boy am I glad I did. I could live in that space. Now I'm hooked on crystals and herbs. I love this place. Thanks Ruby Room. You always make me look and feel great!

Ever since my stylist moved over a year ago, I have been searching high and low for a new stylist. I'm very picky when it comes to my hair so I decided to take a risk and try Honeychild. I called first and asked who would they recommend for a bob. The person recommended Bambi. My appointment was at 4:45 and I was leaving at 5:30, wash, blowdry, cut and style! This was the best experience at a salon I have ever had! Bambi was everything I'd been searching for professionalism, efficiency and an overall FANTASTIC stylist. Everywhere I go I get complimented on my new cut! I don't have to search anymore because I've found my new stylist. It was a bit pricey for the cut ($100) but it was well, well worth it!
Pros: No long waits, Great shampoo, Professional
Cons: Parking

I'm only Sixteen so my word may not carry much weight with the older crowd but i love Wrigley Field and there is no other stadium where that many fans will show and support a team when its forty degrees out and raining. if you've got a problem Wrigley Field then go and get your head examined or leave it alone so others can enjoy it. i love the people and the team and i hope Wrigley stay exactly the same.

Ann Riordan, at Molina Molina, offers great suggestions and ideas, but she also won't push them on you if you aren't ready. She cut my husband's hair first, and he looked so great I had her do mine. She showed me how to use products on my hair to get the look I wanted and encouraged me to experiment. (Most other stylists would just hand me the product, send me home and get a commission on the sale.) She also gave some great suggestions on hair color, showed me how to put my hair up myself, and offered a ton of great tips. She's very personable, asks a lot of questions (how much time you want to put into your hair, etc), and then works with you to get a cut you love that works with your lifestyle. And, she is always ready with a new idea or a remedy. She really loves her work, and it shows.
Pros: easy to park

From my understanding, going here is probably one of the most guaranteed spots that all the work you get done is safe and clean. From piercings to tattoos you can get it all done here til about 2am. The people here really know what they're doing but that can also make them a bit cocky - when I got my tattoo done the guy who did it was kind of pissed that I was, well, audibly in pain and I could have used a little more patience and understanding. Also my friend got piercings in a particular personal area that is not normally exposed and the guy who pierced her made it very clear that this got him going, so to speak, and was not very professional in dealing with that area on a woman. So I guess go here if you want to make sure you are safe, but be prepared to possibly feel uncomfortable a bit. There's no guarantee anyway that somewhere else would really act different.

We've only been to Chicago three times and already it feels like we've gotten into a habit of going to Billy Goat's.
When we've flown over from the UK and are tired and jet-lagged, the tavern is great to go on our first night for a carb fest. We love the 'cheseborgers' and the chance to sit and watch the world go by.
Of course it's not the cleanest, flashiest place...but there's loads of those kinds of places elsewhere.
Go, enjoy and know you've seen something bit different.
Pros: atmosphere, food
Cons: whats not to like?

A friend of mine referred me to Linda at Blade, and I am so glad that she did. As a busy professional, not only do I have to look good, but I do not have the time to spend searching for the right hair stylist. I can safely say that I have accomplished both. Linda is obviously a very seasoned and skilled hair stylist and colorist. But what impressed me was how she listenend to what I wanted, while still giving me a modern look that I have never been able to achieve with any other hair stylist. I can't even count the multitude of compliments that I have received, even from perfect strangers.
I highly recommend Linda and Blade. The salon itself is a very comfortable and friendly atmosphere. I'm already looking forward to my next appointment.
Pros: Excellent service, skilled & knowledgeable, great atmosphere
Cons: None

My girlfriends and I save Geja's for special occasions because the fondue is divine. Get the cheese and chocolate combination -- it's $20 for a heavenly meal that will leave you full AND euphoric. Great atmosphere, too. Parking is a problem -- you'll want to go with valet, or be prepared to walk a lot.

Recently moved to Chicago and don't have the greatest hair. My collegues recommended the Marianne Strokirk Salon. First of all, the salon is a great experience and very comfortable, but more importantly I have the best cut I have ever had. Wash it, towel dry it and that's it. That to me is what makes a great haircut. And besides, it must be great. People ask me where I get my hair cut. You won't find better.
Pros: Easy, convenient, comfortable, everything and everybody reflects the great sense of style
Cons: none
