Chinese Foot Massage

Chinese Foot Massage is a Lakeview, Chicago, Illinois massage studio offering foot and body massage, plus scalp treatments and facials.

Beyond its foot massage and bodywork, the studio has a Head & Mind Rejuvenation menu that lists a scalp test, a hair and scalp care spa, head acupoint and neck and shoulder massage, and hair steam. Sessions run 45 to 90 minutes, from $70. The website says its treatments are infused with herbal therapy. Other options include deep tissue or Swedish massage, hot stone and cupping add-ons, and massage combos. Facial options include deep cleansing and hydration, facial lifting and an essential oil gua sha.

Reviewers who tried the scalp treatment describe a very relaxing massage, thorough washing of the hair, and neck and shoulder work, sometimes finished with a blow-dry. One guest paired it with a facial and left with a clean-feeling scalp and fresh-looking skin. Many call the space clean and calming and praise the staff. One reviewer found the pressure too firm, thought the price high and was uncomfortable with how tipping was handled, so it helps to tell your therapist your pressure preference and confirm pricing when you book.

The studio suits people who want a scalp massage with a hair wash and blow-dry, or who like to combine a scalp treatment with a facial or foot massage. It is also a good fit for first-timers curious about a head spa-style service.
