A kids spa party in Lincoln Park, stairs and street parking included

We handle it. Tell us your block and permit zone when you book, and whether it's a street-cleaning day, and we'll arrive early enough to find legal parking and unload ourselves. You don't need to hold a spot or move your car.

One thing worth flagging: if we're directed to a spot that turns out to need a permit we weren't told about, any resulting ticket is billed back. It's rare, and it's avoided entirely by telling us the zone up front.

Usually — it depends on how far up. We need a first-floor setup or elevator access. A few entry steps are completely fine, and a second-floor unit with a single flight is often workable if you tell us in advance.

Third-floor walk-ups generally aren't, because we carry a significant amount of product and we cap stair carrying for our team's safety. If that's your building, a ground-floor party room or a fieldhouse room is usually the easiest alternative and we'll help you think it through.

One dining table or kitchen island is enough for a single station. We bring our own tables if you'd rather keep yours clear, and everything we use is designed to work on a single surface rather than spread across a room.

If you've booked two or three stations and the room is tight, we run them one after another instead of side by side. The party still works — it just flows in sequence.

Yes, as standard, and at no charge. Give us the management company's contact and their requirements when you book and we'll send the COI directly.

If the building also requires a freight elevator reservation or a specific load-in window, tell us and we'll work to it.

Parties start at $475. Individual stations run $375 to $675 for up to 8 guests, and packages run $675 to $1,050 for up to 8 guests.

Our most popular Lincoln Park booking, the Perfume & Lip Gloss package, is $795 for 8 guests. There are no travel fees anywhere in the city, no service fees and no automatic gratuity — the number in your proposal is the number you pay.

Less than you'd expect, and this matters more in a city condo than anywhere else. Our stations are designed around contained pours and covered surfaces. We bring our own linens and protective coverings, and aprons are provided for the Lip Lab.

We arrive about an hour early, set up completely, run the activity, and pack out with the table as we found it. Cleanup is included in every price on this page.

Activities are designed for ages 7 and up, packages suit ages 8 and up, and we happily host children as young as 4.

For younger children we recommend Glitter & Glow, built for ages 5–10. Tweens gravitate to the skincare bar and Lip Lab. The Lip Lab Premium is designed for 16 and up, which makes it our most-booked city Sweet 16 station.

Included. Every guest leaves with what they made — a custom perfume, lip gloss, body butter, scrub, bath soak or candy bag, depending on your package, in a gift bag.

The activity and the favor are the same thing, so that's one line item off your list and one fewer errand on Armitage.

Yes. The Lincoln Park Cultural Center and other Park District fieldhouses rent rooms for parties — call the park directly for pricing. Book the room and we'll bring the station.

If you're thinking of Oz Park outdoors, note that a rental is the only way to guarantee the space, and any gathering of 50 or more requires a city permit.

Yes, on the same terms and with no travel fee — Old Town, Gold Coast, Lakeview, Roscoe Village, Bucktown, Wicker Park, Lincoln Square, North Center, River North and the West Loop.

We also serve the whole of Chicagoland if your party is happening out in the suburbs instead.

Six to eight weeks covers most Lincoln Park Saturdays. May and December book further out — end-of-school and holiday-break weekends are our busiest.

If your date is sooner, ask anyway. We sometimes have a team available.

All fragrance, skincare, bath and cosmetic materials are skin-safe, IFRA compliant and sourced from US suppliers. Everything is formulated, packed and hand-crafted in our New Lenox lab.

Ingredient lists are available in advance for any parent who wants to review them. Tell us about allergies or sensitivities when you book and we'll plan around them — a child can always take their creation home without applying anything at the party.
