Tax-Day Spa Deals

Just because you spent tax day, and the months leading up to it, grinding your teeth and nervously over-plucking your eyebrows (anxiety doesn't look good on anyone) doesn't mean disheveled is your best new look for 2012. Instead freshen up with a spa treatment. Because guess what? They're discounted this week. 

On official Tax Day. Tue 17, make like an Equinox member and take a free hourlong yoga class at any of the gym locations (4:30pm at Lincoln Park, 7:30pm at Gold Coast and the Loop). R.S.V.P. by emailing joyce.lee@equinox.com and referencing TAX DAY 12. That's not all though. After the class, sink into a complimentary chair massage, enjoy sweet treats from Vita Coca, Vosges Chocolates and Chia, and take 15% off any spa treatment that day.

Guys, this one's for you: Mon 16 through Fri 20 John Allan's offers three express services: a $55 massage, $30 pedicure or $49 luxury shave Plus, purchase products online or in the store (enter the promo code TAXDAY) and take 20% off everything.

Or just pretend like you're checking into a hotel downtown and take time off at the Spa@theWit this week. For $178 (taxes and gratuity included), ease up with a 50-minute massage with warm stones and aromatherapy or opt for a Fruit Pulp and Spice Purifying facial. Take an herbal neck wrap home with you to keep the bliss going.
