Kristol Blake Salon & Spa

KRISTOL CLEAR The address of this new downtown salon and spa should be familiar to city spa-goers: It’s the former digs of Honey Child Spa. And while some of Honey’s staff have taken over the space, that’s pretty much the only aspect that has remained. Expect a hipper, younger vibe in Kristol Blake (the moniker is a combo of two of the owners’ middle names), which includes a spa area on the ground level, women’s hair services on the second floor and a men’s grooming lounge on floor three. Kristol Blake knows 30-minute massages are too short, so the spa’s rubdowns go the extra mile, lasting 45 ($60–$65) and 75 minutes ($100–$110). Signature treatments include “Create a Kristol,” a body scrub that includes custom-made aromatherapy ($125). 735 N LaSalle Dr (312-573-1900).
