Had a great massage today at Now West Loop by Keturah. The pressure she applied was spot on, and she paid extra attention to my problem areas neck and shoulders as I had requested. Relaxing rooms and soothing ambiance inside. The front desk staff was very welcoming & friendly. Shout out to Maria and Luz for the wonderful customer service. Highly recommended..

I was really disappointed with the experience. It is the worst massage I have received. First I paid for a 50 minute massage and it was only 40, I paid for the herbal heat pads and they forgot about them. The person giving me the massage was like in a hurry, it didn’t feel any relaxing at all. She was rough and quick with her hands instead of calming and gentle. It was 8 pm and probably just had real long day and just wanted to go home but I payed full prize and more for it. I would never go back. I think I should get my money back

I’ve had a couple massages with Kate now, and each time I’ve left feeling so much better! She’s been great at listening to where I’m feeling tightness or discomfort while knowing how best to address everything. And with currently training for a half marathon, the massages have really helped my body recover and feel stronger throughout training. Definitely recommend!

Kate has been my “go to” for a few months now. She has such a welcoming energy and listens well to my areas of concern/needs. You can tell she truly enjoys what she does and looks forward to her clients’ experiences. 10/10 customer service, including the front desk folks who are fabulous, which is tough to find these days! Highly recommend.

Araceli was amazing! She explained everything well and made me feel so comfortable. I was at ease the entire time. I did the cupping add on and it was well worth it. I feel refreshed. 10/10 would recommend.

I had an amazing experience at The Now Massage - West Loop location with Kate! From the moment I walked in, the place felt super relaxing and inviting. Kate was fantastic - she really knows her stuff and made sure to work on all my trouble spots. I left feeling totally refreshed, less stressed, and energized. If youre in the area and need a great massage, definitely go see Kate. Im already looking forward to my next visit!

Need an incredible deep tissue massage? Book with Araceli and add on deep tissue!!!! Go for the 80 minutes too. She made me feel like a million bucks. Worked on all the knots, tight muscle, and pressure points. 10/10 recommend!

I’ve gotten a couple of massages with Kate, and I left feeling so much more relaxed and rejuvenated than when I got there. She makes sure to understand your goals for the massage and checks in on the pressure and comfort throughout the massage. Already looking forward to my next massage with her. Thanks Kate!

Ive had several massages before but never like what Jacob provided! For him to have been a novice, he is very in tune with what one does for a living and what parts of the body are a necessity to ease and massage. A sense of calmness and relaxation washed over me after my experience. Worth the price and experience, from Kevin to Jacob, I will return.Service & Enhancement:The NOW 80 Massage, Herbal Heat Therapy (add-on)

I left my massage feeling so much relief in my neck and forearms. Kate was extremely intuitive with finding knots that needed releasing, by utilizing deep tissue and stretching methods. I also enjoyed how she incorporated various rocking techniques to get me into a relaxed state - it all just flowed together so well, and I would highly recommend her!

I came in with a very sore shoulder , she focused on the problem area and did not disappoint. One of the best massages I’ve had in a long time. I pray that God will bless her tremendously as well as show her how much she is loved by Him .

Overall experience was excellent! Staff were attentive and respectful. Kate was skillful and tried to addressed all your concerns, asked you at the beginning your areas you have more tension etc.The ambiance of the place, the moment you step in, already invites relaxation. Once you get in your own massage space, you’re even more welcomed into that zone of calm and comfort.

I went to NOW Massage this afternoon and had a subpar experience. I arrived 15 minutes early as requested on their website, however the massage therapist was not available until 3:40 when my appointment was at 3:30. To make matters worse, I had a 80 minute massage appointment and the therapist started the timer at 3:30 so I missed out on 10 minutes of the massage. The ambiance was fantastic and relaxing. I wish the massage was as equally fantastic. The therapist for 98% of the massage, massaged me through the sheet covers and barely used any oils. Also I payed extra for the deep tissue technique and the massage could not have been further from deep tissue. I left the massage as tight and sore as I walked in. Maybe this was a one of experience, but I would not recommend coming to this establishment.

I had an amazing experience with Rome at NOW. He was equal parts skillful, caring, gentle and professional. I got the deep massage add on and was so grateful that Rome varied pressure with a clear knowledge of the body - his deep massaging left my previously achy and sore lower back happy. I was so relaxed and thankful that Rome was paying such close attention to my body’s specific needs that I literally teared up multiple times throughout! Highly recommend and would go see him all the time if I lived here.

Sarah B was amazing! Left after my 50 minute deep tissue massage feeling like a different person. As always, the ambiance puts you in such a relaxing state of mind. I usually don’t leave reviews but felt the need to after the great experiences I’ve had and continue to have. Never disappoints!

Just had one of the best massages of all time. my therapist was called Kate. What a professional. She was very kind and knew exactly what she was doing. She asked me what she should concentrate on and what was bothering me the most, I explained and she took care of the rest. Again one of the best massages ever. Highly recommend the now massage on West Loop. Ask for Kate.

Kate was outstanding! Her previous reviews are spot on. She is an amazing masseuse and helped relieve a lot of tension in my back, neck, and legs. Her technique and pressure were perfect. She also made sure to check in with how I was feeling throughout the massage. Highly recommend Kate and The NOW Massage West Loop - you wont regret it!

I don’t leave reviews often but I felt compelled to. Too keep it short… Kate is nothing short of AMAZING. The BEST massage, I’ve ever had (literally). She was thorough, and I’ve honestly never felt better. You can tell she is passionate and intentional about what she does. I appreciate you and will be booking again. You are heaven sent. Thank you for healing me today. ❤️

Good experience, will be returning. Was initially disappointed that we couldn’t get in the door when we arrived, but once the manager came out to unlock it and let us in, the experience was enjoyable. Alaya was top notch and professional. She was the highlight of the visit!

Upon entering the aroma was captivating. The customer service and ambiance of the place is awesome. I had an amazing prenatal massage with Araceli. My 16 yr old daughter also enjoyed her massage with Kate. She had an add on for an eye treatment and a hempbalm. Both ladies were kind, gentle and attentive to our bodies. Araceli relieved my back and pelvic area pains from being 27wks pregnant. I will definitely be returning for another prenatal and other massages.

Im not one to write reviews unless the experience is worth noting - in this case; this was one of the worst massages my husband and I had received. We opted for the 50 minute now massage. There was barely any pressure applied during the whole massage; even after requesting it. Not to mention, my husbands masseuse had headphones in while massaging him and felt like he spent more time walking around the room rather than facilitating the massage. Wish I had read additional reviews before visiting. The place is pretty and clean - but wont be coming back. We both left with the same pain/knots we walked in there with, unfortunately.

Araceli is great!! Her deep tissue massages have been so helpful in managing chronic tension in my neck/shoulders/jaw. The location itself is really lovely and serene, but they could improve the sound buffering between massage spaces.

Have been going here for over a year, and they have a lot of great massage therapists, but Ragene is next level. Came in super sore after a tournament and got the sports massage with stretching- man have I been sleeping on the sports massage option. She really knows how to approach each muscle with firm pressure, but just enough to be effective, not painful. Ragene seems to be one of the more experienced therapists there, 10/10.

I booked a massage with Kate because of her awesome reviews, and she did not disappoint! I went in to release some emotional stress and acute shoulder pain, and the 80m healer massage with heat therapy add-on was just what the doctor ordered! Kate was so kind, very thorough in her approach, and made certain that I walked out of the NOW studio feeling better than when I walked in. Thanks, Kate!!

Kate is an exceptional masseuse with a remarkable talent for deep tissue work. Her technique is both effective and soothing, providing immense relief from muscle tension and stress. I always leave her sessions feeling rejuvenated and relaxed. Kates professionalism and attentiveness to my needs make each visit a delightful experience. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a skilled and caring massage therapist.

I look forward to every session I have at The Now, knowing I’ll be walking away feeling lighter and more relaxed. And this time was no different. Jeff B has been my massage therapist for the past three months and he never disappoints. I walked in with the worst kink in my shoulder/neck area and felt so stiff. Jeff was able to work out the terrible knots in my shoulder to give me full range of motion back. Can’t wait for my next session! Thanks Jeff!

Loved this place so much! The decor and vibe were perfect for a relaxing massage. Jacob was my masseuse and he did a great job! I did the 80 minute sports massage with a deep tissue add-on. The receptionists were very kind and even gave me another add-on (calm balm) for free with my session. Worth the price and highly recommend this place!!

I booked a 50 min massage & kevin greeted me at the front and made the check in process easy and smooth.

I was looking for a new massage place to call home for awhile when I moved to Chicago, but once I found The Now, I immediately stopped looking. It’s the perfect blend of relaxing and therapeutic. A quiet and serene environment with well trained staff who really care for your whole body. I’ve seen a few wonderful massage therapists, but currently see Tina who is amazing every time. Highly recommend!

10/10 go to Ragene. She gave me the best massage I’ve ever had. Very professional. Ragene knows what she’s doing. She checks in with you to make sure things are going well, pressure is favorable, and she truly provides the most exceptional massage services I’ve ever had. I rolled the dice one day and got her at random, I will never book with anyone else again 🩷 highly recommend!

This is the best massage studio I have even been to. Besides the adorable decor, the ambiance and set-up transport you to a world of relaxation. On top of this, Jeff provided the best massage I have had in Chicago. His technique was deep but not painful while spending time on my knots and tighter muscles. He made sure to follow the request I made prior to my massage and ensured I had the most relaxing 50 minutes.

Kate was very kind and created a very relaxing atmosphere. She was also a fantastic and seasoned masseuse. She gave particular attention to my trouble areas and checked in on whether the pressure was too much at the perfect cadence. After the massage she gave me pointers on how to take care of those trouble areas a bit better for continued relief. I’d recommend Kate as a top masseuse to see for anyone experiencing tightness and looking for some relief from stress. Overall 5 stars!!

First 50-minute Signature NOW massage recently and wowowow. 10s across the board. Calming atmosphere by way of visuals, textures, sounds (ocean waves) and smells (custom candles). The massage rooms themselves are different from anything I’ve experienced locally — it truly felt like an oasis. My therapist Remy was skilled and attentive, focusing on problem areas while also soothing other areas that I had no idea needed attention. He’s earned a new regular and it’ll be 80 minutes this time!

Review №50

Your average chain massage studio with a handful of both pros and cons. Starting with pros - I found the base price very reasonable. The studio was clean and there was an efficient check in system upon arrival. My masseuse was nice and the massage was good enough. She was attentive to the areas I asked her to focus on and even after having dozens of massages in my life, she used techniques that I had never had done to me before.Now the cons - I paid for an 80 minute massage and only received about 65 minutes. My masseuse was late getting me into the room and didn’t start until several minutes after the allotted time. To be clear, I don’t blame her; they have to churn people in and out quickly with little downtime. But it definitely soured the experience for me. The second major con was the physical setup of the space. Rather than individual rooms, the space is divided by curtains hanging from the wall. You can hear everything happening in the space next to you, and it really does not lend itself to a relaxing atmosphere. I literally heard the man next to me describe his recent surgery and why he was reluctant to have his leg stretched in a certain way. Not exactly helping me to be present with my massage. Finally, like all chains, they look for ways to up-sell you on add-ons. They got me with some hemp blanket thing that did absolutely zilch for the experience.Overall, it’s a fine place and if you aren’t getting massages very often or haven’t been many other places, you’ll likely enjoy your experience. But for massage veterans, skip this spot and look elsewhere.

I have Fibromyalgia, and one thing I know will always help make me feel a little better is a massage. I used to struggle to find affordable places to go where I knew I would get a decent massage, and I am so thankful to have found The Massage Now! I go to the West Loop location and have a membership. It has been the most consistent and best massage ever since I lived in Chicago for 10 years. I have seen both Remy ( who is now gone but was WONDERFUL) and I now see Kate, who is 10/10. She really cares about you and makes sure to help ease whatever pain you have. She focused on massage techniques and areas where my nerves were sensitive, and I always leave feeling brand new. I recommend adding the heat packs for $10 and even the CBD balm.

This place is a money pit, do not go here, 85 minute massage is 145, then there are ad ins for each and everything like deep tissue is another $20, head massage$30, then what is actually included in the $145/85 minutes? There massage staff is way tooo sub par, nothing about this place is good including the reception staff, they have no idea how to apply gift certificates!!! You’d have to wait literally 20 minutes to check out because the staff is always confused on how to apply credits! Overall I would give a zero and DO Not WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!!!!

Katie was an amazing masseuse. She was kind, accommodating and her technique was as requested. The place is clean, aesthetically pleasing and unique. However, the beds are only separated by curtains.

The reception staff were super friendly and welcoming! Have already referred a friend and will def be going back!

I had one of the best deep tissue massages of my life with Alondra at The Now West Loop. The Now never seems to disappoint. From the moment you walk in, you feel a sense of calm and relaxation. Theyre always running on time which is great appreciated. Im looking forward to booking my next appt with Alondra soon!

This is for the West Loop location’s manager/front desk employee CJ! When discussing a situation regarding one of my massages, CJ was so friendly, accommodating, and provided the best customer service!

My therapist Keturah did a great job and was very kind. Adjusted pressure as needed. I recommend the heat add on, as can be cold (concrete floors). There are not wall everywhere rather heavy drop cloth dividers, occasionally I did hear therapist in next space, but not bothersome, still able to rest. Music (ocean sounds) is very loud, but again adjusted. I would recommend and go again just wanted to point out what maybe a deal breaker for some . I say give em try.

Review №128

I was quite disappointed with my massage. While the place and ambiance was wonderful, my massage felt useless. I added on deep tissue and told the masseuse that I would like a 6 on a pressure scale of 1-6 due to pain I was having and it was the lightest massage I have ever received. It was never apparent that there was any deep tissue work done. It also started late and finished early.

Review №129

Overall great experience at a fair price. Ambiance is unmatched compared to any massage chains. Therapist are well trained in advanced techniques and the quality is always consistent. Tons of customizable add ons. Get the membership for the best price, can always skip months if needed

One of the most uncomfortable massages I’ve ever had. 90% of the 80 min massage I was face down until I asked if we were rotating face up - and then I was asked to lay on my side?!?!Massaged me through the sheet most of the time. It was super awkward and left me with more shoulder and back pain than when I arrived.When the massage was finished, I was asked personal questions IN THE RECEPTION AREA and not in private.I know there are several massage therapists here - but it’s been a couple weeks with no follow up after they sent me a “how did it go” email.I would caution using this place and really talk to the massage therapist who you book to make sure they know what they’re doing.

Theres a few reasons Im giving this place 5 stars, even though they werent able to fulfill my appointments. To begin, the staff was incredibly nice and great at communicating. They were able to call me ahead of time in order to try to accommodate me. But sadly, there was an issue with scheduling, but this did not stop the staff from handling the situation in a professional manner. I understood scheduling conflicts were not at fault of the business and because of this , anytime Im in the Chicago area I will happily give them another try. Great customer service and amazing atmosphere.

I had the unfortunate experience of trying out Nowmassage recently, and I must say that I am thoroughly disappointed with their service. In fact, I would strongly advise against using their services. Over last three days, Nowmassage managed to cancel my appointments not once, not twice 3 times!!!Each time I had made an appointment, I had eagerly anticipated the relaxation and relief that a massage can bring. However, the anticipation quickly turned into frustration and annoyance as I received notification after notification informing me that my appointment had been canceled. Not only did this disrupt my plans and inconvenience me, but it also left me without the much-needed stress relief I was seeking.Never use them

Remy was amazing. Although I was late he set the expection to relax, which I needed to hear in that moment. Its always been a challenge to allow myself to get to a true place of relaxation, however his calming presence helped tremendously. He gave great advice for at home care too. Will be back!

I’ve had spa treatments across the globe and this by far is in the top 5 memorable ones. I tried the west loop location this time to see if it was any different than south loop and nope. Just as consistent. Rome was so good! Membership is completely worth it. Highly recommended.

If you cant get to the beach for a personal oceanside massage, this is the next best thing. The atmosphere is relaxing and everyone I encountered there was wonderful. Most importantly though, Remy massaged away my neck/shoulder pain and I couldnt be more grateful! The best massage Ive EVER had!

I unfortunately have had two disappointing experiences with The Now Massage so thought it was worth sharing. As a business owner and new mom, it is rare that I unplug and take a self-care day. After hearing great things about your place of business, I was eager to get a massage.Disappointing Experience #1: I left the office early for my massage at the Lincoln Park location several months ago. I was about 8 months pregnant and looking for a final moment to myself as my body ached everywhere. While in the Uber from where I live in Fulton Market to the Lincoln location, I received a call that my appointment had been canceled because my massage therapist was no longer available. I was told, Dont worry we wont charge you the cancellation fee. So I did not get a massage that day and did not have an opportunity to rebook until after I had my child.Disappoint Experience #2: Just a week ago, I rebooked but at the Fulton Market / West Loop location arranging childcare and taking off work. I decided Id do a morning appointment at 9:00AM and splurge for the 80 minute massage with different add-ons. At 9:15 AM as I sat in the lobby, I was told my massage therapist was a no show and that I could go to Lincoln Park for a 10 AM available appointment. Because I had prior commitments with people that do show up when they say they will, I only had time for a 50 minute massage, and had to pay for an uber to and from the Lincoln Park locations (receipts attached). When I shared my frustration that of the two Ive tried to get a massage here both times the person didnt show up...the receptionist shared...Yeah. this happens all the time.They are so disrespectful with their customers time.
