Sometimes we become complacent with Chicago's array of options for spa services or beauty treatments and stick to the usual suspects — Lee's Nails on Broadway, Juko for waxing on Division, Merle Norman for Waxing on Clark. Reason being is that the quality these treatments are consistent and happen often enough at the right price. But wait! Life is so much better than that. What about a splurge—something above and beyond and just ridiculously feel-good at a once, maybe twice-in-a-lifetime price?

If this is you, feeling a little splurge-y and want a treat, or maybe there are actual real people out there who are spa junkies and throw some green down every Tuesday after work lunch. Whatever your bag, here are a fine number of spas in Chicago, some stand alone, some within hotels, offering fancy spa treatments for juuust the right price.
