I had an amazing hydro facial in preparation for my wedding! They accommodated me and listened to my concerns and explanations on my skin conditions and what I needed - also the conversation was really pleasant and fun with my esthetician! It was a last minute appointment and they were able to squeeze me in and were so kind:) loved it and would recommend again to anyone!!
Response from the ownerThank you so much, Vaidika! We’re so happy we could fit you in before your wedding and that you had such a great experience with your HydraFacial. We truly appreciate your kind words about our team and are glad you felt heard and cared for throughout your visit. Wishing you all the best for your wedding, and we hope to see you again soon!
I went on 06/23/2026 for a consultation regarding a treatment I was considering. While I didn’t get anything done that day (I had to research my options further), Lily was super informative and thoughtful. She didn’t put me down to try to upsell me on beauty treatments like some other spas do, she also was very thoughtful in her recommendations even if she felt I didn’t need the procedure I was considering. I enjoyed the experience very much and the place was so comfortable. I ended up crying in the parking lot for unrelated, personal reasons and the owner saw me in my car and invited me in.
Response from the ownerJohnae, thank you so much for sharing this with us. We’re incredibly glad Lily made you feel informed, comfortable, and supported during your consultation. We always want our recommendations to be thoughtful and based on what is truly right for each person, never on pressure.
Your kind words about the care you received from our entire team mean more than you know.
Catara is a special place. I got a consultation and a hydra facial and it was great! The owner even sat with me until it was my appointment time. I really appreciated that. Everyone was friendly and I will be going back! Highly recommend!!

I had an excellent experience at Catara Med Spa. The staff was professional, knowledgeable, and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. They took the time to answer all of my questions and explain my treatment options without any pressure. The office is beautiful, clean, and welcoming. I was very happy with my results and appreciated the personalized care I received. I highly recommend Catara Med Spa to anyone looking for high-quality aesthetic and wellness services.
Response from the ownerGetting called the best facial someone’s ever had is about as good as it gets. We’re really glad you felt the experience was worth it, from the results to the pricing.

Thanks for recommending us, Shawn.
Lily was absolutely lovely. After three years of trying different spas downtown Chicago and spending thousands of dollars trying different treatments trying to get rid of my deep nasal labial folds. They are finally gone! I feel like myself again! I will 100% be a return client. Thanks Lily! See ya again soon!

Response from the ownerThank you Marlene💙
Jeanne was wonderful. I had the Hydrafacial with the add-on Dermaplaning. The services were wonderful, I received great advice for my skincare routine, and loved how my skin looked after my appointment. I'll be back!
Response from the ownerThat HydraFacial with dermaplaning combo is hard to beat, and we’re so glad you loved how your skin looked afterward. Jeanne really takes her time to make sure everything is tailored to you, so it’s great to hear the recommendations helped you feel confident about your skincare routine going forward.
Walking out with smoother, brighter skin and a clear plan for what to do next is exactly what we want every…
Lilly and Jeanne are outstanding aestheticians who truly focus on long-term skin health rather than quick, temporary fixes. They carefully assessed my sensitive skin and designed a customized treatment plan using safe, medical-grade procedures. I really appreciate their thoughtful approach and attention to detail.
If you’re looking for personalized skincare with minimal downtime and results that actually improve your skin over time, I highly recommend them.
Response from the ownerThat kind of thoughtful, long-term approach to skincare is exactly what Lilly and Jeanne really care. Taking the time to really understand sensitive skin and build a plan around it makes all the difference, especially when the goal is healthy skin over time, not just a quick fix.
We’re so glad you felt the attention to detail and that the treatments were tailored in a way that felt safe, effective, and…
Had a wonderful experience getting a relaxing facial . From the moment I called continuing to the service I received everything was amazing!
Response from the ownerFrom the first phone call all the way through your facial, that smooth and welcoming experience is exactly what we hope every visit feels like. We’re really glad everything felt easy, relaxing, and worth it.
A good facial should leave your skin feeling refreshed and your mind a little lighter, and it sounds like that came through for you.
I've been coming to this med spa for a few years. It's a 45 minute drive, but I enjoy the service, atmosphere and staff. This week, I tried a HydraFacial with Jeanne and loved it! That will be a part of my routine from now on.
Response from the ownerMaking a 45-minute drive and choosing to come back year after year says a lot, and we don’t take that lightly. The atmosphere and the people here are meant to make every visit feel worth the time, so it’s great to hear that’s been your experience. Jeanne will be happy to know the HydraFacial made such an impression.
Catara Med Spa has such a calm, welcoming atmosphere — relaxing, beautiful, and never clinical. You instantly feel at ease.
Jeanne has taken care of my skin for many years, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else. She’s gentle, attentive, and always leaves me feeling rested and relaxed. Her knowledge of skincare is incredible, and she truly understands what my skin need - and that includes dermaplaning my hairy face 😆.
I always leave glowing and refreshed. Highly recommend Jeanne and Catara Med Spa!
Response from the ownerNina, you just made our day! And we're absolutely dying at "hairy face" 😆 – that's the kind of realness we love. Dermaplaning is seriously one of the best exfoliation treatments for getting rid of peach fuzz and dead skin cells, and you wear that glow like a badge of honor.
Jeanne is so lucky to have a loyal client like you who trusts her with your skincare routine year after year.
