Verde Wellness & Massage

I highly recommend Verde Wellness. The service is excellent and the ambiance is serene. This is the best massage I’ve received and will continue going for much needed relaxation.

Just had a beyond fantastic from Gabby. All the aches I mentioned are now gone.

The moment you walk into Verde, you begin to relax! Great décor, clean & refreshing!
Crystal has a great team!
Crystal (the owner) gave my last massage. I had a ninety minute Hot Stone massage; it was wonderful !!
I plan to return many time in the future. I passed the Verde information to my sister who plans to take my recommendation and get a Hot Stone massage.
I suggest everyone try the Verde Hot Stone massage.

I’ve been getting work done for years and have used some of the best massage therapists at other spas. The staff is very professional, the prices are very reasonable and the massage work is very very good. My new spot.

I have been coming to Crystal to have my stiff, unyielding body demolished and then reconstructed ever since she was in that warehouse space off Cermak, and she and her staff have been consistently excellent from the beginning until now. The new spa is wonderfully relaxing – an impressive feat for its environs, which consist primarily of a very busy industrial intersection. At Verde, they effectively block out the world and help you escape to a magical mind-​state where you can focus entirely on refreshing your aching existence.
I have been massaged by Alexandra during the last few visits, and let me tell you: she is incredible. Even better than I expect each time. After she is finished bending my recalcitrant muscles to her will, I leave feeling like a feeble old man and need to sleep for a decade or so. And this is precisely why I keep coming back. No joke – I bought a ten-​pack of 90-​minute deep tissue.
TL;DR: If you want great treatment at a great spa for a great price, go to Verde.

I saw Alex. She was great. Strong hands, detailed knowledge. I have a rare neurological condition that elevates my muscle tension to insane levels, so massage is a great thing for me. No idea if she’d heard of my condition before, but she asked good questions, and she gave me relief.
The online booking was a nice convenience. Having some experience with web applications, I noticed the back button didn’t quite work, but that’s a nit.
The place is small and in an area that looks a little run down, next to a muffler shop, but it’s very nice. Good basic furnishings, nice spaces, a wide hallway, clean.
I arrived late, and I did email ahead. Traffic, ugh. As they make abundantly clear on their site, you need to be prompt for your appointment at Verde. They have a business to run, and they can’t let one tardy client slide the entire day for everyone. Entirely reasonable, and exactly what I would do if I had such a business. I did get a shortened session, but I was not unsatisfied. She did well with the opportunity I gave her.
Also, guys, this is a professional establishment. There’s no funny business going on. What they do they do well, but if you are looking for an… intimate experience, look elsewhere.

Verde is so many things wonderful that I don’t know where to start. The staff is so personable, that they feel like family. The massage services exceed my expectations here every time. Susanna does such an excellent job working out all the kinks that you actually forget you were in pain before she started. And, I just love Diane, the owner, I think!
It’s not your typical spa, where the therapist can come off aloof. It’s far more laid back, comfy, and welcoming. Not just business only. I have sent my mom and sister to Verde, and now we’re all hooked. And, I’m planning on taking my husband as a surprise next month. I win!!!

I am in Chicago fairly regularly and have been going through bouts of severe neck stiffness and lower back pain. I thought I’d check Verde out because they had an online booking system that worked seamlessly and seemed to offer a very comprehensive slate of services.
I didn’t make a mistake. Everything got started right on time, and the space is very quiet and comforting. My therapist was Mariel, and she did a 90-​minute deep tissue. She was great, really friendly, good at explaining things, and most important, her arms/​hands meant business. I felt her loosen up some very stiff muscles and areas and plan to return to her regularly.
Two additional things. If you are having serious issues, I would recommend you call them first and ask what service you need. I picked randomly from the list on the scheduler. I chose properly, but there are a lot of services, so you should ask. Also: Pilsen may be a bit out of the way, but Verde is only about a 2-​minute walk from a Pink Line station, which is only about 10 minutes from the Loop. There’s a lot of good food in the area for before or after you’re done.

I made an appointment for a deep tissue massage through Unilocal at 6am for 9am that day. That’s how desperate I was to have my back tension go away. I was concerned that they may not have been able to accommodate me since they open at 9am and it was so last minute. However, I was pleasantly surprised to receive a call at 9 on the dot asking to confirm my appointment (I was walking up to the storefront as they called). The staff was welcoming, charming, and ready for my appointment.
Upon first glance, the facility appeared small, but up-​kept and clean. The massage rooms have a nice feel to them. The bed (is that what you call it?) was very comfortable.
The massage itself was exactly what I needed and far exceeded my expectations. Gabby did an awesome job listening and responding to my needs. I’d say more but I’m still in a magnificent, post-​massage daze.
It’s so close to home that I can’t believe this was my first time going. I will be back!

I am new to the area. I am a licensed cosmetologist as well, therefore when I attend a spa or salon I have specific expectations. This spa is clean, professional, and very relaxing.
I was looking for a immediate fix because due to my profession and moving (lifting boxes, being cooped up in a car for 12+ hours, and then walking the city alot) I needed serious help. I have always had neck and shoulder issues, but on top of it my lower back was in intense pain because of my big move. I usually would just attend a chiropractor, but didn’t know any in the area and needed some serious relaxation.
Alexandria was incredible, originally I was signed up for a light intensity massage and changed it after speaking to a few friends with knowledge in chiropractic area. When I had mentioned that I needed to change my service there was no issue at all. I ended up receiving a deep tissue massage. She listened deeply to what I had to say, she had intense knowledge in the areas that were bother some to me and even offered follow up advice. I feel so much better after attending Verde.

This was my first visit here and it was a surprise for my birthday. Diane at reception was super conversational and friendly and she kept my boyfriend company in the waiting area while I was getting my massage.
Gabby was my masseuse and was nothing short of amazing! I had an hour massage and throughout she communicated to me what I would be getting and how much pressure she should use.
Overall, it was a lovely experience, I was offered wine and cookies at the end, and I was even given a gift for my birthday! We’ll be planning a couples massage here soon.

From the beginning, I had a great experience with the staff there from calling to schedule our appointment to our experiencr there. We got a Groupon for a couple’s massage! It was our first time getting a massage! My fiancé and I absolutely loved it! Yolanda and Susie are amazing and very accommodating. I requested to not have any strong scents and she made sure I was conformtable the entire time! Also we appreciated the tea and cookies after our massage. We felt so relaxed and are already planning on our next time there!
Thank you guys!

Verde is wonderful! I have seen them several times at the local Pilsen Farmer’s Market, and was able to snag a free 5 minute chair massage from Mariel. She really worked out a huge knot in my shoulder and made my day! I also bought several spa products during their winter clearance: two sugar scrubs, a shea body lotion, and a calming pillow spray. Of the spa products, I like the candy cane scrub better than the pumpkin spice; the mint isn’t too strong and the scrub leaves nice moisture without being greasy. The body lotion is awesome! I have very dry skin in winter, and this thick lotion really helps with the itching. The pillow spray is ok; I think I would prefer another scent, but it is well made and not overpowering.
As for massages, I had a Groupon deal for the 45 minute couple’s kensho (hot stone/​aromatherapy) massage, which my fiancé and I used this past Saturday morning (1÷31÷15). We had Gaby and Yolanda as our therapists, and had a great massage. They were prompt, made sure to check in on pressure and whether we would like our feet also rubbed, any problem areas, etc. I loved the hot stones, they were the best part of the massage! I also appreciated the music not being just a sound machine but a mix of soothing songs and sounds; there was a really beautiful piano and violin classical piece playing during my session that was very relaxing. After the massage, we were given a glass of cucumber water and several thin sugar cookies to unwind and return to reality. Verde is reasonably priced even without the Groupon, and my fiancé and I would love to try to come back every few months for a great date.

Definitely check this place out! Very unassuming, smaller spot — but they’re amazing!
The prices are extremely reasonable considering the services you are getting — however, they do Groupon’s occasionally. The space is very comfortable and clean.
Diane was great to squeeze me in when they were pretty busy for the day. Sandy is amazing and I will definitely be back to see her!!! She was very attentive to specific areas I needed work on, considering I came to her in pain. I definitely left there feeling better and will be back soon!

I used a coupon and it was a very good experience. The therapists are very professional. I feel very comfortable after the massage.

I ran the rock and roll half marathon last Sunday (yay!) but was still sore on Friday (boo!). My usual spots were booked but I was able to get an appointment for a sports massage – dojo is what they call it – today at Verde.
Mariel came to my rescue! She worked the knots out of my shoulders, back, etc. and as is usual with sports massages, she did some stretches to loosen everything up. Mariel was also really positive and pleasant. I’ll be adding verde to the rotation!

I was at Verde Wellness and Massage recently for a ninety-​minute deep tissue by Yolanda. I am an active person, so I figured that my muscles deserved some tenderizing. When I arrived, the receptionist was super friendly and was very hospitable. She even offered to make me tea, which I accepted without hesitation.
Yolanda was great! She knew what she was doing, and did a fabulous job. Prior to the massage, we spoke about my problem areas, and if there was anywhere else that I wanted her to work on more. The pressure was perfect, I felt relaxed, and I didn’t want to leave when it was over.
I am really psyched about going back! Hopefully it will be sooner than later.

Fantastic service all around! I bought a Groupon for my husband and myself and easily booked 2 simultaneous massages a week later on a Saturday. I was paired with Sandy!!! ****SANDY IS AMAZING**** She completely understood where my tension and pain was and went to work delivering one of the best massages I have had. Her technique is powerful and comforting at the same time. The hot stone part was blissful. I will absolutely go back ASAP for Sandy
My husband had Yolanda and reported his massage as average but not enough pressure and that her technique was not as well developed as other massages we have had in the past. As someone who gets a lot of massages, highly recommend Sandy.
also the space was clean, inviting, easy to find and park! Front desk person was kind and very helpful

Receptionist was friendly and helpful. Massage therapist were on top of their game and very professional. Best massage experience I’ve ever had. Def would recommend and will be making future appointments with them. Awesome

This is my favorite place to go get a massage. Receptionists are friendly, they always have great specials going on (their normal prices are already affordable), and the massages are fantastic. My favorite massage therapist is Sandy — her deep tissue massages really work out my knots and tension. I always feel amazing afterwards!
