Excellent place to Relax  5 Star Rating - World class

I went to Channings for a spa day (facial, massage, pedicure and manicure) after I finished finals and I will return.

The people were friendly, knowledge and the atmosphere was great.

Best brow shaping ever! 5 Star Rating - World class

A friend of mine recently went to Channing's to get her eyebrows shaped by Cheryl. I couldn't believe what a difference it made that I called and made an appointment for myself. I had to wait a few weeks to get in but it gave me a chance to grow them in a little. She evened out my brows and showed me how to take care of them in between appointments. I was so pleased with the results, it was worth every penny!

Pros: skilled technicians
Cons: be prepared to pay for parking

My first oak street spa 5 Star Rating - World class

What a surprise!
I was very comfortable the minuite I walked in and was greeted by friendly staff and escorted into a funky Salon . I loved the detox body treatment and massage. It was my first time at a spa and it definatelly will not be the last time .

Pros: Very relaxing atmosphere, comfortable and had good results
Cons: Parking was hard but I found out they validate at a garage so ask

This is the worst place I've ever been to! 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

Oi Vey, where do I start? I decided to check it out since I'm addicted to spas. I don't get how their reviews are so high?!?! Have these people ever been there before or is this another incident where the staff writes the reviews? I don't mean that in a rude way, I'm actually pretty laidback in spas because I know mistakes happen, it's life. I know to each his own but this rathouse was the worst experience of my life.
First during the massage, the woman could barely speak English and she kept hitting my spine & her elbow slammed into my tailbone 3 times. I kept saying to lower the pressure but she couldn't understand me. THEN during my facial, the lady pulled attitude because I didn't want an extra treatment she has to offer. Then went on to critisize me for not wanting a 50 dollar eyebrow pluck from her, excuse me, is it your business if I want you to pluck my brows? I'm sorry but if you want a HORRIBLE massage, facial, & rude staff by all means check this place out.

Pros: good location, thats it
Cons: horrible service, rude staff thats very loud, too pushy to get you into services, plus they were all late

Best spa & service- especially my massage! 5 Star Rating - World class

I went there for a few treatments since I was beyond stressed out from work. I had a massage from Leslie and at first I was nervous since that was my first time getting a massage but she was very sweet and very skillful in all the questions I asked reguarding the stress in my horrible back. She didn't make me feel awkward like I thought I would getting a massage- she knew all the spots to massage and made me feel at utter bliss (and I've gone back to her since then!)The next thing I had done was mani/pedicure which were just as blissful- great scents too. But definitely recommend the massage especially by Leslie!

Pros: Good location, Great Staff, nice atmosphere
Cons: certain services a bit expensive

a trip to heaven 5 Star Rating - World class

For my birthday , and I'm not telling which one, I got a gift certificate to Channings. I had never been to a spa and was thrilled and scared! Those emotions faded away the minuite I walked in and was warmly greeted and made me feel comfortable. They even let me change my gift certificate to something other than what was chosen by my friends. I got LASHES Ilook 10 years younger, I want more. this was a great place to try out spas

Pros: robes that fit, nice staff, clean
