I am not a typical spa person, but I am getting married next summer and have oily skin and some scarring that I want to have improved for the big day. I usually find spas to be a little intimidating, and not to mention in the city, the moment you leave, you are right back in the blaring craziness that is Chicago, which typically shatters the nice relaxed feeling you paid for. Egea is located up in Evanston, so it is a bit of a drive, but it’s worth it to be able to get a little better pricing and to be able to hold onto your relaxed feeling when you leave since you will step out onto the cute and quaint Evanston streets.
Egea was not the typical spa to me. They were very friendly, and unpretentious. I also was able to really relate and feel comfortable with my facial technician. Best of all, she gave me useful advice and insight on my skin and how to take better care of it when at home. When I left, my skin was glowing (in a good way!) I strongly recommend for anyone like me who needs some extra love for their skin.
Pros: Very friendly staff that gave useful advice
Cons: A little bit of a drive from the city
