Spa Packages in Chicago

Come alone with a book, or bring someone you love and book the same time. Every product is vegan, cruelty-free and plant-based, tools are sterilized between clients, and the snack bar, WiFi and TV are yours while you soak. Clients from Logan Square, Roscoe Village and Lakeview park for free right outside on Belmont Avenue.

Two spa packages in Chicago, one short and one long

• Little Love: Happy Hour Mani & Pedi, $75. A 65-minute mani and pedi, Monday to Thursday, 10 AM to 3 PM. Finish with 15-minute foot reflexology, gel manicure or gel pedicure.
• Goddess Within: Luxurious Mani-Pedi Rituals, $199. A 10-step ritual with a rose bath bomb, botanical scrubs, collagen mask and extended massage. Optional Dazzle Dry or gel upgrade. This is the one to book for a birthday, a milestone or the week you have earned it.

Both cover hands and feet. The difference is time, the number of steps and how long the massage runs. If you only have an hour on a weekday, Little Love is the answer; if you want the afternoon, Goddess Within.

What a mani-pedi ritual in Avondale feels like

You settle in, choose your color and the pace slows down. Feet get a soak, exfoliation, shaping, cuticle care and massage, and hands go through the same care. On Goddess Within the soak starts with a rose bath bomb, the scrubs are botanical, a collagen mask follows and the massage is extended rather than squeezed in at the end. Nothing is rushed and nothing is skipped because the next client is waiting.

Polish is your call. Dazzle Dry or gel is an optional upgrade on Goddess Within; Dazzle Dry dries in five minutes and both last up to two weeks on hands.

Gifts, groups and gift cards

Spa packages are the easiest gift on the menu because the recipient chooses the day. Electronic gift cards are available through Vagaro. VIP members, at $119 for six months or $226 for a year, get priority booking, the private VIP room and members-only events, which pairs well with a standing monthly ritual.

For bridal showers, birthdays, bachelorette parties and corporate get-togethers, call (866) 202-6669 or email avondale@luxonailspa.com; the team is large enough to look after a group at once. Book a single package on Vagaro any day of the week, keeping in mind that Little Love runs Monday to Thursday, 10 AM to 3 PM only.
