Platinum Salon

Platinum Salon and Spa in Bloomingdale, Illinois offers the best pedicure I've ever experienced. I drive from Chicago to Platinum because it's worth it. The pedicure lasts approximately one hour. It includes a massaging chair, foot-soak, nail trimming and shaping, cuticle conditioning, foot and leg exfoliation and a minty wrap, foot massage, and polish. The staff is very professional yet friendly. The price is a little bit higher than at other spas and quite a bit higher than the average nail salon, but again, well worth it. more

Platinum Salon is located near Stratford Square Mall. The location is huge and always busy. They have two floors. The ground floor is usually for hair cuts, colors, dyes, etc. They are an upscale salon that attracts ritzy clients. I have had the massage there. It was easy to book a time, didn't get any hassles. The masseuse I had was very talented and professional. I didn't feel uncomfortable at all. They have the spa/massage centers upstairs with pedicures and manicures. I did get the feeling that it was more of a women's place just by looking at the crowd. Most guys came for hair cuts or with their significant others for a manicure or something. They do offer many services for men so maybe it was just the day that I was there. Their prices are competitive with other massage and upscale spas in the area. It's a good place to unwind. I got the hot stone massage and thought it improved my back pain and energized me. Then again, it could have been the psychological aspect after getting hot stones placed there! more
