Antalee Wellness Spa

I love Antalee so much. I’ve been going there every 4 – 6 weeks for the past 7+ years! My facials and wax with Sofia are always amazing, she is the best. And she always goes out of her way to accommodate my crazy schedule. I love the organic products they use. I love the cozy atmosphere. I love that the whole family runs it. Aneta, the owner, is so wonderful. Gary’s healthy, natural, organic food is super delicious. I am so grateful that this place exists, and I am grateful for the friendships with everyone there! As long as I’m in Chicago area, I’m there! Make this place your home for beauty and wellness too. You will be happy you did. ;-) I would give it 6 stars, if I was allowed! ;-) Gergana

I would give 10 stars to Antalee for outstanding quality in skincare and hospitality.
I’ve been coming here for 3years now and intend to do so, and the price is unbeatable
too. If you crave homemade truly delicious food you can order it here, just ask.
Overall this place is grate! Check them out, you’ll love their services.

I was referred here by my boss and instantly I fell in love. This place is very clean. You are greeted as soon as you walk in by Aneta and she is wonderful. This place is very relaxing. Bella is the best in my experience. She does a phenomenal deep tissue massage. She is a genuinly sweet person and cares about her clients. This place is very well worth your money. I highly recommend. I never leave here dissapointed.

Ok… so if you want a spa that has a meditation room and a whirlpool hot tub… this isn’t the place for you. But if you want great spa services then this is your place. The owner, Bella, is fantastic! She is so caring and sweet. She really cares about her clients and she is great at what she does. I have had massages, back treatments, pedicures and waxes here… and they have all be wonderful! I highly recommend you come here and see for yourself!

I adore this spa — from the extremely friendly staff who went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction, to the delicious lunch, to the great quality of their services — it all made for a truly pampering, luxurious experience. The owner Aneta is very welcoming and made me feel like a long-​time client, though it was only my first time. I had a facial, and it was exactly what a facial should be — relaxing, rejuvenating and yes, a bit painful during the extractions. If you truly want a facial that detoxes your skin and gets rid of all your impurities, you need to have one that includes properly done extractions — there’s not way around it, they can be painful but, the end result is worth it. If you just want someone to smear moisturizer around on your face, go elsewhere. But if you want to emerge with glowing, replenished skin, then see Sonia, she’s amazing! They have monthly specials which let you take advantage of their other services at great prices. They also use Eminence products which is an organic, European product line whose skincare is held to European product standards, which are stricter than those in the U.S., and are used in «fancy» spas in downtown — like the WIT Spa. I highly recommend this place!

I have been coming here since it opened many years ago. The entire staff is very kind and loving and always goes the extra mile. I have had deep tissue massages, hot rocks, waxing and facials. The facial/​massage combo is my favorite. I do get extractions which as you can guess, will feel like getting extractions.
The owner’s father makes lovely, highly nutritious food. He is not there all day every day so you will need to call ahead. Because everything is totally made from scratch, it will take some time. I usually call in the morning for a lunchtime pick-​up.
Overall, the spa is an asset to our neighborhood with genuine quality people and services.

What a wonderful discovery! Very peaceful spa experience and extremely friendly staff! I love the fact that they use Eminence products and always have great deals for their services. The owner Aneta is very friendly and accommodating and I loved my super relaxing massage with Diana (can’t begin to share how amazing it felt! And the touch of hot stones at the end… perfection!). Also loved my mani-​pedi with Nadia! Can’t wait for my next spa day! :)

I love Antalee! I’ve been coming here for almost 2 years now. Aneta is great, and always remembers my name. I never wait long for the massage therapist either. I’ve worked with Judy and Dianna and BOTH are fantastic! I felt they each have always worked on my concerns, and always check in with me during the massage. I recommend this place to any one.

First, when I made my appointment I clearly said that I wanted my eyebrows done and a two week French manicure. The woman at the desk assured me that they did both services. When I got there I was introduced to Bella who was going to do both brows and nails for me. When it came time for the two week no chip manicure Bella told me that she doesn’t like to do it because it causes cancer (the UV lamp). I explained that I had it done before, I have a very important interview the next day and I want the two week no chip. She would not stop arguing with me, so I gave in and got a 7 day (which showed ware after 3 days). Already upset because I’m not getting what I want (and just paid $ 52.00) Bella proceeds to tell me that she can tell, by looking at my facial skin that I have Ovarian cancer. This was the worst experience I ever overpaid for. Further more the OWNER was made aware of this insanity and never reached out to apologize. Take your business, and your money some place else.

I’m not really sure what to make of my experience. I wanted to get my nails done and noticed on their website that they had a special for a facial, and mani/​pedi. The website also stated they had Sunday hours.
I called to see if they had any Sunday hours and mentioned the special. The person did not remember the special on the other line and she told me she had to call me back to let me know if they can fit me in. She called back around 10 minutes later with an appointment.
When I got there, no one was there and there was a «by appointment only» sign on the door. I did not want to drag someone out due to a whim since the website said they were open. I was going to call to confirm I had the right place when my esthetician/​nail tech arrived.
The person who did my services was nice, but I was very nervous about cleanliness. I did not see any sterilizing equipment in the mani/​pedi area. The cheap place I usually go even has them! She even admitted to having an infection in her fingernail. Ewww… The overall results for the maini/​pedi were good, but steps like the massage were skipped.
The facial was probably one of the most painful I have ever had. I have not had many extractions because the estheticians at the place I usually go say my skin is in decent shape. I know I have slacked off a bit, but it’s not that bad. At least use the numbing stuff! For an hour, I was told I had the worst skin and that I should come in all the time. Towels were pretty ragged as well.
The final straw was when I was asked about payment mid-​manicure. She said that she preferred cash or check due to the front desk not liking them playing with the credit card machine. Of course, I did not know this nor did anyone mention this making the appointment. This created a very awkward situation and 15 minutes of time wasted with my tech figuring out the machine.
Will I come again? I’m not sure. But I know it won’t be on a Sunday.

I first heard about Antalee through a friend who was raving about how amazing the massages are. My friend gets regular massages, so I figured I should give it a shot. So I stopped by the Spa and made an appointment in person, I think it was the owner, Aneta that was at the reception desk. I asked to schedule a massage appointment, we settled on a time, and then she asked me what kind of massage, so I asked her what kinds they offered. She said swedish, which is relaxing or deep tissue which is deep, mind you I am a massage therapist, I heard this and thought to myself, is this really how you describe your services to a perspective client? I said Swedish and left.
The day of the scheduled massage I had to call and reschedule, we rescheduled, and then I was told that typically 24 hours is required to cancel, but they would let it go this time, I said thanks? and thought to myself, why didn’t you say that when I came in to schedule the appointment?
So I finally made it to my appointment and was super excited, filled out the health form, and met my massge therapist who took me to the back and showed me the massage room. The space and everything is nice… So here’s where it’s kinda wierd. I got undressed and on the table, and she came back in the room. I had this wierd feeling that the door wasn’t closed all the way, but I wasn’t sure, I was laying face down. I could hear the washing machine and dryer going very clearly. And when it was time for me to turn over, I heard the door close all the way before I did!!! WTF? The session ended very oddly. she put a hot towel over my chest, and then one around my face, and said okay you have a facial next, and I said no I don’t, and then she said oh sorry woudl you like me to get you some water while you get dressed? I said yes sure, so she left me to get dressed with hot towels on my face, neck, chest, and also some wrapped around my feet!!! So I had to peel off all the wet towels before getting up.
I was quite annoyed becaused I didn’t get a chance to just lay down and appreciate that I had just been massaged. Overal her massage was good, with the exception of a few parts where I could feel her body touch mine when she was reaching to do longer strokes. On the intake form I had asked to pay extra attention to my scalp and lower back, and I didn’t feel like extra attention was given…
I wouldn’t go back.
