Copper Spa

I was having a lazy Sunday and decided to call to see if they had availability. No one answered and I immediately got a text from a different number asking what I wanted. After the «who is this» convo i realize it’s the manager and they said be here in 15. I rush over for a massage and facial. They tried upping the price and did not make me feel comfortable. They were yelling at each other while I was getting my facial (which is a cleansing portion, a massaging portion and a sheet mask portion, I could have done myself) it did not look clean, and when I paid they tried having me tip more than my 20% I left.

The massages are actually decent, but the overall experience is odd. Locked front doors, virtually no communication from therapist (they walk right in and starting doing their thing – no introduction or asking about problem areas). They want payment up front (also odd), and they asked me for a higher tip after I tipped 10 dollars the last time I went (not acceptable). It has a real sketchy feel. I will gladly pay 15 dollars more for a relaxing experience, not this strange place from bizarro world.

As I lie naked on my table awaiting my therapist to come in, I hear a fight break out between the lady at the front desk and another employee. Screaming their heads off for over 5 minutes. I was probably the last appointment of the night, so the only person in there. And clearly one of them was going to be massaging me. I had to pay upfront, so I got dressed, and demanded my money back. Not relaxing and will never ever go back.

I called at 1050am, I was greeted and offered a $ 10 discount as a first timer.
then Elaine gave a fantastic deep tissue massage she walk on my back, then gave my hot stone treatment followed by a Swedish style massage.
After an hour and a half massage I got a complementary 20min sauna use and a shower.
definitely worth every cent.
I will be going bi-​monthly for sure

This Spa is Great!!! the rooms are nice and comfy with a shower. they also have a sauna thats nice… the staff was very friendly and made me feel comfortable from the beginning… the massage was fantastic, love the deep tissue and back walking… highly recommend this place… one of the best in the city as I’ve tried quite a few but not as good as this place… don’t know about some of these reviews about tipping but i tend to tip at least 30% since the service is by far the best and the atmosphere is so relaxing… i suggest you give them a try as you can’t go wrong with this place

I loved the massage. However, when I handed them a tip at the end (a pretty good one, I might add) I was rudely asked to tip a higher amount. Excuse me? That is not acceptable. That is never acceptable. Take your business elsewhere.

Copper Spa was the perfect start to our date night. My wife and I came downtown from the west suburbs recently to enjoy a nice massage, dinner and a play. This is now our third trip to Copper Spa and we both came away saying, «That was the best massage I have ever had anywhere!» Peggy and Anna were terrific.
What do we love about Copper Spa?
1) It’s affordable, and that’s always a plus. We don’t need the über-​luxe spa experience. We’re looking for a great massage in a relaxing, clean environment, and that’s what we get.
2) We love the overall style of massage. They use just the right combination of deeper pressure, flowing strokes, stretching movements and hot stones. Depending on the therapist, they may even do back-​walking. You might not be accustomed to some of their techniques, such as climbing up on the table to put the perfect amount of pressure in just the right place, but it feels terrific, and the result is so much better than a typical Swedish massage.
3) We love the fact that we are not over-​draped. Some places make us feel like we’re being wrapped in a diaper, or worse — wrapped up like a mummy. We think that too much draping interferes with the massage. Our experience at Copper Spa is that, when lying face-​down, they will sometimes remove the draping altogether. This allows for wonderful, flowing strokes from head to toe. It has never made us uncomfortable, but if you were to become uncomfortable, just let the therapist know and I’m sure they will drape you to your level of comfort. For us, their approach is perfect.
4) Hot towels. When finished on one side, they wipe you down with hot towels. It feels so good, and it removes any extra lotion. Afterwards, we don’t feel like we need to take a shower, but one is available if we did.
5) The sauna. We try to arrive early so that we can enjoy the private sauna together. It’s free, and it’s a nice way to unwind after the rush of traffic, and to warm up during the cold months.
To sum it up, we’ve had massages at many locations around the world, and this is still our favorite. So keep up the great work Copper Spa, and we’ll keep coming back.

Initially I was sure what to do when I first arrived — It was so quiet and no one else was there. However once Peggy began, she gave a GREAT Massage & Hot Stone Treatment!

This is a fantastic Chicago spa that has all the standard services (deep tissue, hot stone, cupping, couples, etc.) as well as an amazing ambiance. They do body and facial waxing too. When you walk in, it’s almost like you’re transported to some kind of ancient Egyptian temple.
This joint meets all the important spa criteria:
–It is VERY clean. There are also showers in most of the rooms.
–Incredibly friendly and caring staff. I would be hard pressed to say I had a favorite therapist here, since I’ve walked in without an appointment many times and have ALWAYS had top quality massages (hard elbows and back-​walking are my preference!).
–Great pricing. The Unilocal deals are another bonus, but even at standard rate, for city prices this place is excellent value.
In the Chicagoland area I would say the therapists here are without doubt the best around. I live close by but I would easily make the trek to Copper if I lived in the burbs.

Excellent Deep Tissue Massage however it was the first one I’ve gotten where they didn’t use any lotion. I thought that was strange at first however after one of the women jumped up and walked on my back for 30 minutes I was in heaven.

The worst experience I ever had. I went there to have a nice massage but it wasn’t as good as you expect. For a piece of mind, don’t try this place because the people there are not really friendly. Also, they would rudely ask you to tip them a very high amount when they did a very bad job.

Please be aware. Yes the deep tissue massage is nice but there is a blurred line of boundaries when it comes to «private areas» and respect for that. I would not recommend the body scrub as that is where things go completely strange and the sense of privacy is out the door. The masseuse made suggestive comments in many occasions. I left there feeling less relaxed and a little out sorts. Additionally the whole pay with cash thing upfront and credit car not preferred even adds to the odd experience. Definitely tried to get out of there as quickly as it was over!

Best deep tissue massage I have ever had! I went yesterday as stiff as can be and I feel amazing. I will definitely be back soon! Thank you Copper Spa for having such a great massage and setup!

Great place for your money. Place is not as nice as going into a 5-​star hotel but then again they are about half the price. We went late on a Friday night and the massages were awesome.

Hot sauna, shower, super deep massage and great customer service… From the hot stones to the back walking, this place has it all. I highly recommend it! You will leave feeling like jello!

I love trying new massage places in different cities. The service I had by Jessica was one if the best massages I’ve ever had. It was also my first back walking experience and it was pretty intense. You can’t get deeper tissue than back walking, and Jessica was damn good at it.
Don’t give this place a second thought if your Looking for the perfect deep tissue. See other reviews for their determination of the environment. The place was clean and my eyes were closed the whole time so I don’t really care if it’s über luxe. They are Super Talented and you should give them a try.

My legs and back have been hurting so I’ve decided it was time to get a massage. With the husband in tow, we went for a friday night couple’s massage. We got to the door and as the other reviewers said, they do lock it (which I like for safety reasons). Just buzz in.
As for the massage, it was excellent. The husband asked for a lot of pressure and he got it. I was entertained by his snoring towards the end. You can definitely say he loved it. Mine was also great, knots and pain gone. Will for sure come back!

You get what you pay for.
Very nice workers but no technique used during massage. Just rubbing, some great some not. Thought hot rocks (free) would be nice, but again, just pushing them around roughly doesn’t really feel good.
Open late which is a plus.
Has shower and sauna access, also a plus.
Parking was somewhat easy on a Friday night around 815p. Pay meter until 9p.
Takes credit cards but tip line was missing so luckily I had cash.

I had a phenomenal hour long massage here! My masseuse really focused on loosening up my back and shoulders, which can get very tight, but she did it in a way that felt amazing (I’ve had Thai massages that are supposedly good for you, but have never actually felt good). Beyond that the massage was really thorough — didn’t feel like a single part was left unrelieved.
Also, for the price point, you really do get the full spa experience. She used hot stones at one point, the room was calming, and there are showers/​etc. available to use afterward. I was also offered tea afterward.
They were able to accomodate me within an hour of me calling, which was awesome. A great, stress-​relieving experience.

Short version: excellent massage, not so good presentation /​some amount of sketchiness.
My girlfriend and I went here for a couples massage. The price was reasonable at $ 100 before tip (it’s actually $ 110, but mention Unilocal for a discount). Copper Spa is located on a quiet section of Milwaukee and on the evening we went we were the only customers. Upon arriving we found the door was locked and thought we got the wrong address. It seems they lock the door for security reasons.
They made us take off our shoes and gave us sandals to wear, which I hate because I don’t know whose feet have been in them. Next time I will probably bring a pair of flip-​flops. Then they asked us if we wanted to pay in advance. That seemed odd since we wouldn’t know how much to tip and the door is locked so we can’t massage and dash anyway. The massage session took place in a room in the basement. They also have rooms on the first floor.
The final presentation issue was my towel had a big yellow stain on it! I’m hoping it was from massage oils and not anything else.
As for the massage itself, it was very good. My girlfriend got a Chinese masseuse and I got a European one so they do indeed have both types. Her technique was excellent and she even employed hot stones! At one point she straddled my back which was surprising at first but it did give her good leverage to apply pressure. The quality of the massage made up for the problems mentioned above so I would come back again.
