Blissful Health Center

Sharon has been an amazing resource. Her prenatal massages have been a God send! With my two pregnancies in the last two years, I gained an incredible amount of weight and retained water terribly. Each time I visited Sharon, she remarkably made me feel like I was floating on air when I walked out. The entire experience from the moment you walk in the door is just an overwhelming blanket of relaxation. The tension from my head to my toes just floated away, and she truly made me feel calm and beautiful again.
I couldn’t recommend any other place as strongly as I would recommend Blissful Health Center. Now that I’m no longer pregnant, I’ve also visited with the same, amazing results. She has been so knowledgeable and informative with suggestions on how to continue to relieve water retention and help me feeling healthy again.
Nowhere else I’d be interested in visiting or sending referrals!

I moved back to IL about 4 years ago and have been very nervous about finding a new bikini wax place. I tried one place that a friend recommended but was not thrilled. So than I turned to Unilocal and found Blissful Health Center and Andrea. I love Andrea. She is great! It was probably the least painful wax I have ever gotten and she makes you feel so comfortable. She is very professional and everything is kept very clean and sanitary. If it is your first time with her she will talk you through the process and even the cleaning process. I felt very comfortable and even now an hour later still no pain or discomfort. I have already made my next appointment and will even being going back to Andrea for a facial. I have defiantly found my new waxing place. Thank you so much.

This is a hidden gem! I love the aura of the place & the rooms are soothing. Sharon is FANTASTIC! You won’t find a better therapist. It’s actually one place that you get what you pay for. I highly recommend Blissful and am confident that you will like it too. Enjoy!

Due to blissful, I always look forward to getting my eyebrows waxed. It is honestly a very relaxing experience. Walking into blissful, an overall feeling of peace is automatically obtained. Sharon and Andrea are wonderful and extremely knowledgable in the field. I have had a cranial massage and it was extremely beneficial. I recommend blissful to anyone for any treatment!

The Lymphatic drainage services provided by Sharon and Nick are life changing and life saving. The combination not only released deadly toxins but also stimulated the immune system.

Ladies and Gents! Going away on vacation or just sick and tired of shaving your underarms, legs etc-​come here and be treated like royalty! I did and I am so glad for that. My waxing meant no razor for two weeks! Sheer bliss! This place is a godsend

I come here mostly for the great service that Sharon provides for waxing. I’ve checked other places out and she always makes you feel comfortable and makes the whole process as easy as possible. She is always positive and informative on any suggestions. Scheduling an appointment with her sometimes can be a challenge other than that love this location.

Pretty good spot — I had a Brazilian here about three years ago that I thought went well and wasn’t too painful. Sharon was patient and welcoming. Mother had a massage last week, and albeit the therapist was professional and great at the massage, my mother thought she wasn’t too friendly or welcoming. She was pretty turned-​off by that experience. I’ve also been for facials and massages and greatly enjoyed both! Wish this place was a little bigger, but other than that, I’ll keep going back :)

I was looking for a Brazilian groupon and as being my first time it was obviously very important that it got done right. I checked out the reviews of all these places and part of my decision was the follow up price. I didn’t want to find a place with a great first time deal and not be able to afford the up keep. I also didn’t want to have to drive all over the world to find parking or take forever to make an appointment. For all the items previously mentioned, I couldn’t be more impressed and extremely satisfied with my first experience and I have since become a regular.
My first appointment was booked with Andrea. I got there early and was welcomed in the waiting area. One thing I love about this place is that it’s intimate and friendly, you don’t feel awkward if you see other people in the waiting area. Yes we’re adults here but we all know why we’re there and if it’s your first time, it can make a person apprehensive. Anyway… Andrea said the appointment before me was running late and offered me some tea. delicious! We started talking about how it was my first time and that I have very sensitive skin, I mean I get my eyebrows waxed and you would think I had a chemical peal. Andrea reassured me that if at any point she noticed my skin was getting red or irritated or I mentioned it was hurting, she would stop. Also parking is supper easy and right there in front of the store in downtown downers and free when I go in the evening. I’m in and out in 30 mins. I did fill out a front and back page and signed a waiver of course but it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary. The paperwork at this massage chain I went to was waaaay more intense.
Andrea prepped the room which was in the back, dimly lit, and she had really nice music playing. She gave me a warm towel to prep the area and then a numbing spray for the bikini area. I started face down on my stomach because she said that hurts the least and she was soooooo right. Not that hurting was intentional but I mean you’re ripping hair out of your skin so it’s not going to feel like a massage. Andrea and I talked the whole time and I was done in 20 min, back to front. She used cold towels and stones and she also told me that she couldn’t do some spots because my skin was too red and she didn’t want me to be uncomfortable because that’s not the point. I also liked the fact that I was laying down the whole time, maybe move my leg out to the side on the front but I didn’t have to do anything else. (My friend goes to a place in Chicago and to get the back door done she’s on all fours, downward dog style. And then for the front, she’s pulling her legs up to her chest like she’s having a baby. Yeaaaa, no thanks that’s too much for me. I would be nervous that I would pee or something if I have my legs pulled to my chest and she started waxing me… back to blissful)
I booked a follow up appointment for two weeks later to get the stragglers taken care of and was out the door. When I got home I iced the area for a few hours just for my own treatment and I think it helped.
Not only do I think it’s amazing but my husband loves it. Sooo smooth and the results are instantaneous. When it did start to grow back, the hair was sooo much softer and less noticeable. I have recommended blissful to all my girlfriends and my husband is going to get his neck and back waxed soon.
I love Andrea, she’s the reason I am a regular. She’s personable and I feel so comfortable with her. We compared our relationship to that of a gyno. The follow up is only $ 15 for the stragglers and then once I get on a schedule, it will be $ 30. I don’t think that’s bad at all. I’ve seen some other places charge over $ 50 and I think that’s insane, but maybe they guarantee pain free waxing but I really doubt it.
5 stars because they deserve it. Commit to the grow ladies and get it done at Blissful!

I visited Blissful for a Brazilian using a Groupon. Sharon was such a sweet woman. She explained how she runs things and was extremely patient. I’m not sure what happened with the prior reviews. The room was well-​lit, clean and Sharon was extremely personable.
She offers a numbing spray prior to the wax and uses frozen stones and cold cloths to help with pain and swelling. When all was said and done, I was surprised that she had already finished.
By far, a superior experience. I will definitely be back!

I come here for brazillian and upper leg wax and Sharon always takes the best care of me. I feel so comfortable and welcome. My skin doesnt break out and its always so silky smooth. By far the best place I have been. I dont go anywhere else for my waxes. This place is clean and somewhere you can trust!

The entrance is welcoming and waiting area is relaxing. You have to take your shoes off (I opted to wear to the bathroom). You are offered tea which is nice. Sharon has a nice demeanor, sometimes a little difficult to communicate with.
The main thing I was looking for was a smooth sailing Brazilian wax. I have gone to Uni K Wax in Florida so I had an idea of what I could expect elsewhere. My experience at Blissful was not as pleasant. The wax comes out of a heated applicator which is applied directly onto the skin. That made me weary of whether the application was sanitary since I was used to a hard wax using a disposable wood stick. The wax was REALLY hot on my skin, and when the applicator cooled and then applied, the wax tugged painfully hard at my hair!
The room is also kind of dark, not good lighting (on purpose I suppose). When I got home, there were a lot of missed hairs, not very well cleaned up as I would expect… I would think tweezers would have been used to finish the job, but they were not.
The cool rocks were a nice touch and did help the post pain from the removal.

The space is nice but the rooms you get your service in is not enclosed. The walls do not go up to the ceiling so you hear everything, EVERYTHING! I was trying to get a relaxing reflexology but through my whole treatment, I had to listen to women get their waxing done. I could hear them talking, «bikini or Brazilian?» and I could hear each and every waxing. Not only is it uncomfortable but I felt like I was invading someone’s privacy! It’s a shame cause my treatment was decent but really couldn’t relax.

I absolutely do NOT recommend this place to anyone, mainly because of the appalling dishonesty I encountered. After not being able to get an appointment, I called Groupon and asked for a refund. They said they would contact the merchant first and that I should hear back from both Groupon and Blissful w/​in three days. I did, indeed, hear back from both. Groupon is always wonderfully efficient, but the email I received from Julie at Blissful was the same thing I’ve always gotten: «Let me know when you are available and I will add you to the waiting list.» I should have been on that list months ago! But here’s the appallingly dishonest part: when I checked my Groupon account, the Blissful voucher was «redeemed.»
You can bet I got a refund from Groupon, and sent Julie a blistering response to her email.

I just love this place! It’s a bit out of my way, but my last massage I had won me over and now I’ll definitely be a regular here.
I work on my feet all day due to the nature of my job so I can truly appreciate a great back and neck massage or a foot massage. Egle, my massage therapist, is a true professional. Let me just say after my massage my back has not felt that good in a long time.
The place is very clean and the staff so friendly. It was a pleasure going to Blissful Spa!

This review is based solely on the experience and my brazilian. I cannot attest to any of the other services.
I came here based on a review about the brazilian. I thought the cold stones would improve the process so why not? The place is super cute. They sell all kinds of organic and holistic goodness in the front. In order to receive their services, you have to complete a 4 page form regarding medical issues, medication, etc. This seemed a little much just to get a wax but they do look at it in order to know what other kinds of services to suggest.
I really wanted to love the cold stones. They felt good at the time. Unfortunately, I had some horrible reaction to the wax and it was uncomfortable to sit for a couple days.
Huge bonus? You get a coupon for 50% off wax services in the next 30 days *and* if you check-​in you save $ 20.

Wow. Wow, Wow. I can remember thinking during my pampering session.“this is the best day of my life”. Sharon is incredibly talented and intuitive. I’ve dealt with fibromyalgia and pain for years and Sharon was able to release many of my trigger points. I also purchased a Groupon and received an incredible value for sure.
Sharon sent me home with some herbs and a pt roller, which helps me release tension in my muscles and tissues at home.
Whether you are new to massage, or a seasoned pro, try this place, it would be impossible to disappoint even the toughest of critics.

I am always looking for places that offer foot massages, so when I saw a groupon for a 1 hour reflexology foot massage, I bought it immediately. Not wanting to sit on this groupon for too long, I booked an appointment for just a few days later. Their online appointment booking process was a very easy and smooth process.
They are located right next to Starbucks in downtown Downers Grove. The train tracks are right there so you might want to plan accordingly depending on the time of day. My appointment was for early evening (i.e. when all the Metra trains are bringing people home from work), so it was a bit difficult getting here. You can park in the open lot directly behind the Starbucks.
The spa itself is appointment only, so when I walked in, it was just me and the therapist. I was asked to fill out a short form and then I was directed back to a massage room. For this particular treatment, they had me lay down on a typical massage table. The therapist asked how I wanted to focus the massage (you get a choice of ears, hands and feet… or all 3 if you want). This was my first reflexology so I wasn’t sure what to expect. It is important to note that the massage is done without any lotions or oils. She also used a peppermint scrub on my feet which was really nice.
Overall, the massage was very relaxing and if I am looking for a special treat, I would try it again.

I’m a bit of a massage snob, but I have to say, this truly was the most relaxing experience of my life. My fiancé and I bought the couples massage package off of groupon, with 1 hour massage, 1 hour facial, and half an hour reflexology treatment. My massage with Mary was deep tissue, as I requested, yet still relaxing. If you have deep knots, she’s the one to go to! Sharon did my facial/​reflexology, with a soothing mini-​massage with hot rocks. I’d never used those before, but was pleasantly surprised, and my skin felt incredible!
The booking was a bit unorthodox via text, but I believe that’s part of the groupon package. Scheduling for a couples massage was a bit difficult, but mostly because we have random schedules. I will definitely be rewarding myself with a spa day here after finals!

I found Blissful Sacred Space & Spa through Unilocal and I am sure glad I did. I scheduled a wax with Sharon and it was one of the most tranquil waxes I have ever received. Is that possible?! The cold stones she uses are ultra soothing and her modest relaxed approach makes an uncomfortable situation much easier. I definitely would recommend her for your waxing needs.
I also love the ambience of the spa. Its very holistic and they offer lots of things to oogle prior to your appointment.
I will defintiely be revisting.
