I am always on the lookout for a place that provides amazing quality for a reasonable price. I have tried many salons in Urbana, Champaign, and Savoy; Breathe In Spa is by far the best!
I came in to treat myself after hitting a milestone in my business. I had noticed the store-front just the day before when I had come to the Pines mini mall for Cafe Zojo (only to realize they had closed).
I called fairly last minute and they were able to squeeze me in, no problem. I had a spa manicure/spa pedicure with Missy and she was fantastic. I enjoyed a private manicure and pedicure with a lovely glass of (complimentary!) champagne. The beverage service really put the already relaxing service over the top.
The prices are competitive (I pay about the same at Elegant Nail Salon on Kirby) but for a far superior product. You get all the same perks of a deluxe spa pedicure at Elegant Nail PLUS complimentary beverage service and a more intimate and relaxing environment for $3 less! Elegant is also hit or miss depending on which technician you get. There's something more comforting about knowing that there are only 2 technicians at Breathe in and given the quality of everything else the other technician must be equally talented.
I also had a 20-minute chair massage with Jamie. I tried to get in for a full table massage but given my last minute call, they were understandably booked. Even with just a 20-minute massage I felt relaxed. I will be going back for a full table massage soon.
This is now my favorite salon in town!
