SO Beauty Studio

SO Beauty Studio sits on North Damen Avenue in Chicago and covers a range of body and beauty services under one roof. Its menu is grouped into body contouring, lashes, massage and skin care, so clients can combine a facial with a lash appointment or add a body treatment.

On the skin care side, the studio offers facials and Procelle Microchanneling, a noninvasive treatment that aims to support the skin's own collagen and elastin. Procelle is paired with its Microchannel Delivery Serum, which contains bone marrow-derived growth factors in a hyaluronic acid base. The business states that the Procelle product has been used safely and effectively for more than ten years. Microchanneling sessions run about an hour and a half and start at $299.

Lash clients can choose a semi-permanent lash lift, which curls and lifts natural lashes for roughly four to six weeks, starting at $79 and taking an hour or more. Eyelash extensions are offered in Classic, Single, Natural set, Hybrid, Volume and Mega Volume styles, with Volume lasting three to seven days and Mega Volume eight to fifteen days. Extension appointments take 30 minutes or more.

The studio also offers endermology and lymphatic drainage massage, a gentle massage meant to encourage the movement of lymph fluid, and body contouring, which covers non-surgical and surgical procedures that reshape specific areas. The business is clear that body contouring is not a weight-loss solution; it is intended for people already close to their target weight. Body contouring starts at $135 and takes about an hour. Services can be booked through the Book now buttons on the website. Hours run Monday through Saturday, with Sunday closed.

The studio combines noninvasive skin and body treatments with lash services. Body contouring is positioned as a method for people near their target weight rather than a way to lose weight.
