Without a Hitch

Spa La La Services

Seems like everyone around you is tying the knot.

You, you’re busy untying it.

No, not under the chuppah (ma would plotz). At Spa La La, Bucktown’s newest beauty retreat, where owner/massage therapist Lizzie Harris preaches a personal, clinical healing approach (read: you’ll feel relaxed and kink free). Her friendly staff follows suit.

A standard 75-minute rubdown includes aromatherapy oils, Billie Holiday tunes, and good, old-fashioned pummeling (the happy kind). Hot stones and other custom additions come at no extra charge.

Signature facials leave you more dewy than splotchy, cater to your skin’s needs, and end with a paraffin foot treatment and a top-secret lip concoction.

Spa La La also offers waxing, mani/pedis, and spray tanning.

Has a nice ring to it.

Spa La La, 2300 West Armitage Avenue, at Oakley Avenue (773-772-5252 or spalalachicago.com).
