What the treatment includes
Your session combines a focused back massage with a full facial in a single 90 minutes appointment priced at $95. A short skin consultation begins the visit, followed by a customized aromatherapy blend, targeted massage to release shoulder and upper-back tension, then a comprehensive facial designed to hydrate and even the skin's appearance.
Esthetician choices and product sensitivity are addressed before treatment; clients with reactive or sensitive skin consistently report calm, glowing results after our facials. We adapt pressure, oil blends, and mask selection to your skin history and comfort, guided by what neighbors from Irving Park and surrounding North Side communities value: relaxing, careful, and visibly refreshed treatment outcomes.
How aromatherapy is applied
Aromatherapy at Emerald Beauty Studio uses essential-oil blends chosen for scent and client tolerance rather than specific medical claims. Oils are delivered through inhalation and light topical application during both the back massage and facial steps, helping the treatment feel cohesive while allowing the esthetician to adjust aromas based on personal preference and skin sensitivity.
Seasonal factors in Chicago—cold winters and humid summers—often influence which blends clients prefer; our busiest months are February, November, and December when clients seek gifts or holiday stress relief. We discuss seasonal needs during consultation so the treatment's sensory profile supports comfort and your plans, whether you're heading to a night out after a Wrigley Field event or commuting via the Kennedy Expressway.
Preparing for your appointment
Plan to arrive about ten minutes early for a brief intake where we review allergies, sensitivities, and recent skin treatments. Evening and weekend slots accommodate commuters coming off the Kennedy Expressway or CTA routes, and there's flexibility for pre- or post-event bookings around nearby venues like Wrigley Field to fit busy North Side schedules.
The full experience lasts 90 minutes; most clients leave feeling relaxed and with visibly nourished skin without dramatic downtime. Because many regulars describe the service as luxurious yet accessible, we keep communication open about pressure and scent choices throughout the session to ensure you feel comfortable from start to finish.
