The Self-Care Spa & lounge

Hit up The Self-Care Spa & Lounge in Wicker Park for a 60-min massage with a weighted blanket and aromatherapy—ran me about $95. Jamal worked out the kinks in my shoulders; dude's got magic hands. The space is cozy, clean, and has that chill vibe. Only knock? Had to wait 10 mins past my appointment. Still, worth it. Will def be back when I need to unwind.​

I had the most amazing experience at The Self-Care Spa and Lounge! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and truly pampered. The atmosphere is so serene and inviting—it's the perfect place to unwind and focus on yourself.

The owner is absolutely wonderful—so warm, professional, and genuinely cares about every client’s experience. You can tell she’s poured her heart into creating a space that’s both luxurious and comforting.

I also had a body contouring session and was blown away by how knowledgeable the specialist is. She took the time to explain every step, made me feel completely comfortable, and gave me great tips for maintaining results. You can tell she’s highly skilled and passionate about what she does.

If you’re looking for a place to invest in your self-care and leave feeling like your best self, I highly recommend checking this place out. I can’t wait to go back! 💆‍♀️✨

One of the best massages I’ve ever had. Super friendly!

Relaxing, professional, and efficient service!

Raquel was absolutely amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable and explains things so well.

I enjoyed  Raquel as our facilitator at the Bloom Group. She made me so comfortable doing the skin scare and had me glowing afterwards! I’ll be booking a consultation.

I had an amazing experience with this black-owned spa! the vibes were just incredible. The owner has such a warm, welcoming energy that made me feel right at home. She really brings her personality into the space, making it feel like more than just a spa—it's an experience. I left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Highly recommend supporting this gem!

Raquel facilitated a Skincare Workshop. Raquel is a personable professional. Raquel and Makayla had the event setup upon arrival. Raquel incorporated breath work tying in the self-care we’re practicing in our cohort. Raquel guided us through a minimal, effective 5-step skincare routine that included natural face sculpting and massaging pressure points to relieve stress wiith our hands. Thank you Raquel, Makayla and the FRO Organization for this experience. ~ Fe Daily

Self-Care Spa Lounge is amazing! Raquel provided my sister's and I with valuable information and help when it comes to our face.

This class was phenomenal! Raquel taught us not only how to cleanse our faces but how to apply and remove the cleanser properly. The importance of moisturizing resonated so with me. She taught us how to wake up our skin to receive the product and the importance of SPF in our moisturizer as well as our foundation. She was so personal and answered every question asked. I cannot wait to spend more time with her learning how to age gracefully! Thank you Raquel!

Raquel was very down to earth, knowledgeable and intentional. What I loved the most was the willingness to share knowledge and she did not hold back. Looking forward to booking with her.

Raquel is the TRUTH! She taught me so much about skin care, self care, and self love. I love that she’s an advocate for all things health and wellness, and I’m looking forward to sitting in her chair soon.

Everyone was so sweet! I felt super comfortable and super relaxed after, great service 🫶🏾

I would highly recommend Self Care Spa!! She was so nice and talked me through the whole process as this was my first brow treatment! This is a lovely space and they did a great job on my brows!! I will be back and I’m letting my friends know too!

I can’t wait to come back! Tera is super knowledgeable and I felt amazing after a 60 min Infrared Sauna blanket and 30 min VACUUM lymphatic massage. I’ve done manual lymphatic massage in the past but this is more enjoyable and has instant results. I’m planning on my next treatment right before vacation!

I had a great experience at The self-care spa lounge. Jamal understood that I had multiple Sclerosis he went to get a fan for me to enjoy my massage with Phoenix. I really recommend visiting and supporting.

I experienced the best facial and reflexology treatments from Raquel. She was thoughtful, patient, and kept me informed throughout my services. The atmosphere is welcoming and I will definitely be back.

What an amazing experience. We had a galentines party here &  the crew treated us like family I will be back asap!!!’

Jamal was fantastic! I have a lot of stress build up in my upper back / shoulders and he really took time to focus on alleviating those knots and relaxing places that hold tension. Will definitely be back!

I had a massage with Jamal and it was definitely 100 out of 10. He is very professional and understands the assignment each time! THANK YOU SELF CARE SPA AND LOUNGE!!!

Jamal is a wizard. Can’t recommend highly enough

Tera was great to work with. She was very sweet and accommodating. She took the time to explain the process of a lymphatic drainage massage and sauna blanket as it was my first time for both and checked in with me throughout the process. I really enjoyed my experience and plan to go back again.

Everything about the experience, from booking to check-out, was friendly, easy, and stress-free. In my day job, I work with individuals and organizations to help them be trauma-informed. My massage with Jamel was spectacular and trauma-informed (so much so it could be taught in training and was therapeutic). He explained every step of the process, repeatedly checked in about consent, and integrated breathing practices. It was excellent. I binged and did an sauna blanket and Lymphatic massage with Tera and noticably my waist is 2 inches smaller and feelings of bloat are gone. Finally,my facial with Raquel Mixon, the owner, was also exceptional—weaving traditional practices with modern technology! She also went above and beyond to make sure my day was special (I was celebrating my birthday). I will be returning!

Great service!!!! Really worked with me when she did not need to ❤️

I Love it here, the environment, the atmosphere, the VIBE. If you looking for somewhere to go this is the place to be. They educate you all the things you need to do to up keep you care.

Treatment: Sauna Blanket + Lymphatic Drainage
Practitioner: Tera
Highlights: Welcoming, knowledgeable, committed to meeting the needs of the client and provided excellent customer experience.

A day of firsts! First visit to the lounge, first time with Tera and a first with this type of treatment.

And, I already scheduled my next appointment!

At jump, Tera made me feel at ease. She talked me through each step of the process with details on what we were doing along with the benefits. This treatment is intended to work your body to clear toxins, which isn’t always relaxing. However, I understood the process to reach our goals…and Tera was checking in throughout. Also, she gives a great pep-talk!

She had a good sense of what my body needed, which sparked a shift from the suction to a manual drainage massage method. She really went above and beyond to create a future treatment plan that works for me.

To be clear Tera and the service gets 5 stars!

Perhaps at the end of each treatment, the client can be brought to a chair in main space where a cup of water and tablet are waiting. The client can hydrate while filling out a very short Google Survey (booking, atmosphere, treatment, practitioner and recommendation section).

I would have recommended:

Signage in each room by the chair where clients put their clothing: “Phones, off. Relaxation, on. Time to prioritize you! Please keep phones away and silenced for the duration of your service.”

Overall, can’t wait for my next session!

I had an amazing facial at Self-Care Spa and Lounge.The atmosphere was relaxing, and the staff was welcoming and professional. The facial left my skin glowing, hydrated, and refreshed. They took the time to customize the treatment to my needs and explained every step. I highly recommend this spa for anyone looking for a luxurious self-care experience

Had an amazing massage here! Music and lighting made for such a vibey ambience that helped me melt right into the table. Highly recommend booking with Jamal as soon as you can! Will definitely be going back, he helped get some serious knots out of my shoulder that I’ve been dealing with for a while.

Jamal was incredible! He was very attentive to the spots i wanted to focus on and made sure i felt comfortable the whole time. I will definitely be coming back!

Great customer service and location. Anything you need from facials, spa parties, learning new ways to care about yourself, the Self-Care Spa & Lounge is the place to be!

Best massage I've had. Niakea was fabulous and I left feeling amazing. Will be coming back!

Wow wow WOW!!!! Amazing staff and specials.  Very personable and the attentiveness and care that was taken to make my service the BEST was literally unmatched anywhere else I have ever been.  Raquel has built an incredible space and team.  Jamal is worth every cent and minute and more.  Will be regularly visiting for sunday special and the membership! Well worth it!!! Highly recommended ❤️

Hi I really  enjoyed  my experience  at The Self -Care Spa & Lounge. This was my first time but I felt so embraced by Raquel  and Jamal. The vibe  is so cool here! Please  stop by this amazing  place you will not go wrong!❤

Best massage I've ever had..so.much attention to detail.

I had a great massage with Jamal here! I went for the Monday Special ($60 for an hour) and it was wonderful. He gave extra attention to my shoulder that I have been having some issues with. Planning to go again when I can!

Cozy spa, great location, street parking, nice staff and hands that are blessed. I got a wellness massage and restore facial for my birthday and I feel and look gooodtttt. Jamal and Raquel knkw what they are doing and very informative. Run dont walk you owe it to yourself

I had a wonderful time celebrating my bachelorette with my family on Sunday. I'm one of those people who doesn't like to go clubbing and I wanted to do something on my last hurrah as a single woman over spa treatments and good company. The Self-Care Spa & Lounge is the place to be at!! Whether you're celebrating your engagement, your birthday, or just because, this is it!

MaKayla, Jamal, Imani, and Kii are friendly and professional. They made sure my family members and I were comfortable and made us feel welcome for my bachelorette spa party. Thank you guys for making my spa party special and fun :)

Raquel is absolutely wonderful! Amazing job with brows!

What a gem! I made the mistake of getting my brows done elsewhere and paid the price of breakage and bald spots. Raquel took one look at them and knew exactly what to do to save them. Also, I can now fully appreciate what brows do for looking put together with minimal effort thanks to her.

amazing service! incredibly kind individuals! 100/10 would recommend!

Absolutely amazing experience! Celebrated a friends birthday and all took turns with massages and facials. All the staff was incredible and Brittney gave a life changing massage!

Found this place through ClassPass and I’m so glad I did! Raquel did a great job with my brow lamination.

Well trained staff, great targeted massage

Let me start off by saying Raquel is amazing I turned 35 and wanted to do something different with my friends and family and Raquel made it happen massages and sip and paint when I say one of the best parties I’ve had her team was amazing my spa party was everything I could have imagined very nice and clean environment Raquel is a great host very professional and she handled my party of 21 baby she ain’t play okkkk thank you to Raquel and her team for making my birthday one to remember 💯 I HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I really enjoyed my restore facial with Raquel. It was so relaxing and felt like the wake-up my skin needed. She gave me some pointers for my skin that I look forward to trying. Highly recommend self care spa!

The Self Care Spa & Lounge is a beautiful, professional, and relaxing establishment. My service was a 60 min full body massage w/ Jamal and I enjoyed every second of it. I felt amazing during the massage and even greater after. I most certainly will be back!

What a pleasure to visit - it was a wonderfully indulgent experience in all aspects. My facial and massage were very soothing, and the lounge itself is so calming and suave. Raquel is an incredible business owner with admirable beauty treatment skills and refreshing hospitality. If you're looking for the best kind of pick-me-up that will leave you glowing, I couldn't recommend her spa more!

Our team attended a self-care workshop at The Self-Care Spa & Lounge, where Raquel skillfully guided us through the entire skincare routine. The experience left me feeling totally relaxed. I will be back for additional services in the near future!

I received a facial a few months back as part of a team building self-care activity with my own business, and I must say, it was definitely a treat. The treatment was extremely relaxing. My skin felt radiant after my facial was complete. They did an excellent job tending to my skincare needs and were very personable to boot. On top of that, the space is quite chill. There's music and comfy seating area to make you feel even more at home. 10/10 experience... highly recommend!

My skin feels so healthy and glowy after visiting the Self-Care Spa. Raquel is a skincare genius — she helped me learn more about a myriad of ways to take care of my skin and maintain my glow. Cannot recommend this space and Raquel enough!

I’ve been out of the waxing game for a few years and Lynette was so gentle and thorough - I know I found my new spot!

I’ve been going to this spa since it opened. I love how clean it is and really appreciate the bedside manner. Raquel is so knowledgeable and kind. I’ve seen significant improvements to my overall complexion.

I have also rented the space for an event. The process was easy and the space is a amazing!

I made an appointment for my husband and the customer service was excellent.

Raquel is the best she really knows how to take care of you!🥰 skin always flawless

I had a facial “recharge” on June 22nd with Imani the Esthetician, it’s July 6th now and let me TELLLLL YOUUUU, my face is still glowing and flawless!!!! She did an amazing job. I have scarring from acne and my skin is hella sensitive so when it’s in “pain” I made sure to let Imani know and she was very quick to accommodate for me and made me feel good in the end especially with a lovely final touch of her favorite products that she recommended to me. It was so relaxing and she was so gentle and caring with me. I appreciate her work and I still have a flawless beautiful skin and have been consistent on taking care of my skin with a routine. I 100% recommend Imani! 🥰

The Spa was very clean very professional. I had a consultation and Facial with Imani it was my first time. My experience was very informative she gave me good tips I look forward to my next visit

Raquel has been my esthetician for l most two years now! She is the sweetest and very professional. Her space organized, clean, and beautiful.

I really enjoyed my wax experience. Imani took an uncomfortable moment and made it a breeze.
My first vagical experience was very calming. My discoloration has started to lighting up thanks to the products used.
The entire place is a vibe from the music being played to the scenery of the room.
Best wax I’ve ever had.

Very professional, clean environment and relaxing! Imani is awesome! I can’t wait until my next visit next month!

I have lived in Paris, New York, Miami and Chicago. This facial is TOP! I may have had one as good but certainly never had one better! Thank you!

My favorite spot for all self care needs! Raquel and the ladies gonn get you right!

Hey guys! I know it took forever to write a review, so I’m going to make this short and sweet. I’ve been a client of Lynette’s for almost a year now if not longer and I must say that I have learned so much about my skin and has seen the benefits of having her as my esthetician. She’s personable, professional, a master in her profession and fantastic at what she does. Make sure to pay her a visit and start putting your best face forward. You won’t regret it!
