Get Pampered For Pennies–Our Favorite Spa Deals
We think of days at the spa as special days (special days that often cost a lot of money). A true treat, and they can be a major decision that comes with a major price-tag. But what if your next spa day was, like, Tuesday? Getting pampered doesn't have to demolish your budget, and when you really get down to it, Chicago has an army of luxurious spas and salons that package their favorite services together to help you get your money's worth. Digging for (affordable) gold can be time consuming, which is why you have us to do the recon for you Whether you're taking beauty baby-steps or going for a serious overhaul (hey, we all have those days), or just feel the need for a little self-indulgence, you'll be spending smart. And anyway, while you're lying there getting treated like actual royalty, you'll feel like a million bucks.
