The Everly Spa

The facial was excellent, and I’ve had many. I will say she was a little late, and I had no idea which buzzer to ring as labeled poorly. I waited at the pizza place next door because it was cold out.

My friend and I are in our sixties and we were looking for good facial while in Chicago. We came across Kelli at the Everly Spa who was willing to accommodate us on short notice. My friend and I have had many facials over the years and we fully agreed that the Ultimate Lift facial from Kelli was the best we ever had. She is very knowledgeable, thorough, personable, and incorporated specialized techniques designed for our different skin types and conditions. The products used were excellent, and again, specific to our needs. We are looking forward to our next visit to Chicago so we can schedule with Kelli again.

Well unfortunately even though Kelli does good work she can’t keep it together. I’ve gone to her for at least 6 months and not once has she been on time. She’s kept me waiting outside the building and for over 40 minutes. She always has a different excuse as to why she is late. One time she even forgot she had an appointment with me. I’m not sure how she runs a business, but if I were you, don’t waste your time unless you want yours wasted.

I had an Eminence Facial with Kelli and I had a great experience. I have had Eminence facials before and this one did not disappoint; 75 minutes of bliss! I love that these facials also have a massage component as well while the products are doing their work on your skin. I think her prices are reasonable and I definitely plan to come back for my bi-​annual facial. She also mentioned she is planning to get certified in dermaplaning so I will be back for that as well!

I never thought I’d write a Unilocal review about a facial, but this was really a wonderful experience. Not only did she work wonders on my congested face, but she was very open and personable. It was great getting to know her and I’m now going in for monthly facials because there is no other place I could get better service or a better deal. Going here was a win win all around.

I saw her deal on Groupon and saw that she had a 5-​star Unilocal review so I figured why not. I will start out by saying yes, Kelli did a good job with my facial. Unfortunately there were some negative aspects of my experience that will keep me from visiting her again.
1. It was very difficult to actually schedule my visit. I called and spoke with her on the phone and she said she would call back to confirm after she checks her schedule. A couple of days went by and I hadn’t got a call back. I called again and left a voicemail this time. A couple of days later still no reply. I then decided to text her and finally I was able to schedule something.
2. I arrived to my appointment about 5 minutes early. I used the buzzer system out front to notify her suite that I had arrived. I buzzed a couple of times and waited. Nothing… A gentleman was leaving the building and was nice to let me in. I then walked inside her suite and was greeted by sign that indicated to wait and someone would be with me shortly. I assumed she was finishing up with another client. I waited for about 10 minutes and then I received a text message from her: «Are you coming?» I assumed that she was in back and didn’t realize I arrived and replied «Yes, I am here.» She then replied «Sorry be right there.» Turns out she wasn’t even there. She arrive about 15 minutes after my appointment time. Very unprofessional.
3. My friend purchased a Groupon as well and she also didn’t experience the best service. She waited a half hour past her appointment time because Kelli was finishing up on another client. Kelli even asked my friend if she could leave and come back. REALLY?
Yes the facial was good and she was pleasant to talk to but all the other issues make it not worth your time.

I recently had my second facial from Kelli and can confidently say they have been the best facials I have ever received! My skin has felt like butter for a week following each facial. I used to have small breakouts following facials with past estheticians but this is not the case with the facials I received from Kelli. She only uses Eminence products which I think are the best in the skin care field. I have very sensitive skin and have never had any issue when using their products.
I’ve already recommended Kelli to a couple friends and will definitely continue to use her services. Her prices are extremely reasonable compared to spas in the city and she has an easy online booking system.

Kelli is fantastic. As a guy, I was a touch hesitant to get my first facial. However, Kelli’s warmth and quirky sense of humor put me at ease immediately. Three years later, I’m still coming back.

As a professional makeup artist my number one selling point is how I present my face to my clients. Skin care is a huge part of my life and I know how important it is to have great skin in order to be able to wear makeup beautifully.
After I purchased a gilt city deal for The Everly Spa last fall, I fell in love with Kelli. She is very attentive to your person needs, evaluates what needs to be done and performs all services beautifully. Not only is Kelli very professional, she truly loves what she does and generally cares about your health.
If you are looking for an esthetician who will provide you with amazing service and great results, Kelli is your girl! She has her own independent space, so it will be a no-​frills experience. But if your main focus is quality skincare, Kelli will win you over.

I discovered the Everyly Spa after researching for a new facialist on Unilocal.Judging by all the rave reviews Kelli had received, I couldn’t help but feel extremely motivated to give her a try. With my upcoming wedding, I didn’t want to take my chance with places that didn’t use organic/​natural products. I also didn’t want to go to a commercial destination where I was going to receive a cookie-​cutter facial. I have very specific needs and I wanted a custom facial.
So, going to Everyly was a no-​brainer. It was easy to make my appointment because Kelli was really prompt with getting back to me. Her space is independently run and she rents a room for treatments. It’s not a traditional spa in appearance, but certainly one where the services are considered.
Kelli put me to ease right away with her disposition, soothing voice and clear demonstration of knowledge. She knew exactly what I was looking for and talked me through the facial. I appreciated that the extractions were done immediately after the steam was applied at the start of the facial so that I could relax and really enjoy everything that was to follow.
Everything about my first experience with Kelli was perfect. My skin looked beautiful and actually brighter on my wedding day. I have since returned and feel like the results are even better after my last visit. I am actually more comfortable leaving the house without makeup because my skin does look fresh and bright. I am looking forward to returning on a monthly basis, because not only do I deserve it, but I owe it to myself :).

Kelli is über talented, knowledgeable, and has a really healing touch. She’ll get you to relax for sure, and will give your skin exactly what it needs. She might even change your life.

Loved all my treatments! She really cares about her work and is the sweetest. Her technique is truly amazing and she uses the best products that makes a difference I love how easy going and friendly she is as well.

Kelli came highly recommended to me by a friend after I mentioned that as a 25 year old, I was experiencing acne for the first time in my life (honestly, I didn’t even have it as a teenager!). I went to see Kelli for her 90 minute stress facial, and I’m not kidding when I say will never see anyone else. My skin looks and feels great, and I can honestly say I am a much less stressed out woman today than I was yesterday. I thought her knowledge about holistic practices was great, and I really appreciated that she took the time (with me as a new client) to analyze what was going on with my skin before the facial. She asked questions not only about my skin but also about my diet, and took a few notes at the beginning of the appointment, and then tailored the products and techniques she used. I bought a few of the eminence products she recommended for my skin, and I really enjoy them!

Kelli is amazing at what she does. I feel so confident about my skin after facials with her. Not only is the facial extremely relaxing and done with beautiful organic products, Kelli’s massages will melt you! She really knows what she’s doing and has given me great advice about my skin regimen, and my lifestyle. Her expertise in Ayurveda really helps you rethink how your lifestyle and inner health are affecting your outer beauty. Kelli has given me tips that I intend to practice for life! I HIGHLY recommend a facial with Kelli!

Kelli introduced herself to me through Unilocal based on a review I posted for another spa quite some time ago. I must say I was a bit skeptical since the other spa also boasted natural and organic yet my face broke out in a rash within hours and took over a week to heal. That led me to start making and doing my own natural facials. However, based on Everly’s reviews, I decided to give Kelli the benefit of the doubt.
I took a Lyft to her location. It’s an odd set-​up inside a huge studio, but Kelli’s cozy space is perfect for what she does. I felt at ease yet a bit tense about the darn facial. Kelli did her best to put me at ease. She asked me the basic questions and I signed a disclaimer.
What followed was pure bliss! First, Kelli has a soothing voice. Very nurturing and caring. It manifests in the way she goes about the facial routine. She is not too talkative but mindful that you probably want to enjoy the serenity of the atmosphere she created for you. She will continually ask if you feel any discomfort with the products used, including the pressure of her fingers. The facial is then followed by a neck and shoulders massage. At the end, she gives you a report about your skin and recommendations to keeping it healthy and clear.
I honestly felt like liquid at the end of the session. The entire experience was out of this world!
No rash. No breakout. Just feeling refreshed and energized with the benefits of glowing skin. I don’t have problem skin and I do my own facials, but I will definitely be back. It’s nice to be pampered and I trust Kelli to take care of my skin.

Kelli Komar is extremely knowledgeable about skin and what it needs to be the best it can be at any age! I wouldn’t go to anyone else– I never liked facials before, but decided to give them another try after my daughter went to Kelli and raved about the results. This winter, plus having a cold and aging is wreaking havoc on my skin. I’m so glad I went and will be going regularly. My skin is softer and more radiant after one visit! I definitely recommend Kelli at the Everly Spa and will NEVER go anywhere else! :)

Love, love Kelli and her fantastic organic facials. She gets it when it comes to organic and green skincare. I’ve been seeing her for a few years inconsistently, but now that she has her own place, I’ll be a regular. I love her honestly and appreciation for using fantastic products that does not damage my skin or build toxins inside my body. She truly cares about you from the inside out.

If you are looking for an AMAZING facial, go see Kelli! I’ve been a client for about 4 year and she is a lifesaver! She takes a holistic approach to skincare and lifestyle in general. I travel for a living and unfortunately my skin takes a toll because of it. She has helped me through hyperpigmentation (sun spot) problems, dry skin, and several other issues. The facial is always extremely relaxing and my skin glows for weeks after! She also knows more about natural remedies and Eminence skin care than anyone I know!

I first experienced a facial with Kelli at the now-​defunct Soulistic Spa in November 2013 and am thrilled that she has opened her own space. Her knowledge of overall health and its effect on skin health is impressive and has motivated me to make dietary and lifestyle changes to improve the health of my skin. I always feel like I’m floating on air after her facials and the next day my skin is perfectly smooth and balanced.
I’m now one day away from my wedding and am very happy with the improvements I’ve seen after four facials. I was worried about the big day and my breakout-​prone skin but am free and clear!

I am convinced Kelli has magical powers. I have been getting facials from her for a few years, since she was at Soulistic. Every time I leave an appointment with her I feel like a brand new person. It sounds cliché but my skin really does look and feel 10 years younger. She can take one look at your skin and tell you what’s causing the problems (the breakouts on my forehead are caused by dehydration and my liver being overworked, for example.) She even cured the bad congestion I’ve been suffering from the past few days by massaging the lymph and coaxing it to drain properly. I could go on and on but really all you need to know is that you deserve to feel and look amazing and Kelli is the one person who can do that for you.
