Because River North is Chicago’s glow-up district

River North is where Chicago goes to look and feel its best. Art galleries next to design studios, chef-driven restaurants a block from boutique fitness, and a skyline that turns golden at sunset. It’s walkable, lively, and effortlessly stylish. If you’re going to invest in your skin, do it in a neighborhood that’s already setting the standard.

Facials

At Sha Russell Skincare, every facial is tailored in the moment—guided by your skin’s needs, your lifestyle, and your goals. Expect a calm, restorative experience with results you can see and feel.

Purifying Detox Facial

• Duration: 60 minutes

• Breathe easy, skin. This probiotic-rich reset helps balance your skin’s natural flora while gently clearing congestion. Ideal for breakout-prone or easily irritated complexions, it soothes visible redness, refines texture, and supports a strong, resilient barrier.

• Best for: acne-prone, congested, or sensitive skin

• What you’ll feel: deep cleansing, gentle extractions as needed, targeted calming serums, and a cooling finish that leaves skin clear and calm

• Results: clearer pores, reduced redness, smoother texture, balanced hydration

Gua Sha + Lymphatic Facial

• Duration: 60 minutes

• A slow, sculpting ritual that works with your body—not against it. Lymphatic drainage and gua sha techniques help move stagnation, reduce puffiness, and boost circulation for a lifted, refreshed look.

• Best for: dullness, puffiness, jaw/neck tension, “tired” skin

• What you’ll feel: rhythmic, contouring strokes, gentle lymph work, and replenishing oils that glide without clogging

• Results: de-puffed contours, increased glow, eased facial tension, healthier-looking tone

Signature Radiance Facial

• Duration: 90 minutes

• Glow, upgraded. Our antioxidant-rich vitamin C protocol brightens and supports even tone while defending against daily stressors. This extended treatment includes dermaplaning for ultra-smooth texture and gua sha for circulation and lift.

• Best for: dullness, uneven tone, texture, pre-event glow

• What you’ll feel: thorough cleanse, precision dermaplaning, targeted vitamin C infusion, gua sha sculpting, and a sealing mask

• Results: immediate luminosity, refined texture, more even tone, makeup-ready radiance

Waxing

Smooth, efficient, and done with care. We use gentle techniques and high-quality wax for clean results and minimal irritation.

Brazilian Wax

• Removes hair from the bikini area—front, back, and everything in between—for a clean, confident finish.

Full Leg Wax

• From upper thigh to ankle for soft, long-lasting smoothness.

Underarm Wax

• Quick, thorough, and ideal for reducing shadow and stubble.

Waxing tips
