There are a LOT of "Spa's" and such in Chicago, but with the downturn in the economy, I know of quite a few that have gone out of business...
If you look at http://www.myfoxchicago.com they did a story on a Spa that sold thousands of dollars in pre-paid services as they were going out of business.
http://www.citysearch.com is a good place to look up possible businesses to apply to. They have a wide variety of places listed and an extensive customer review section so you can see if they treat their customers how you would like to treat your customers.
Good luck! Your in a GREAT city to ply your trade!
Chicago has some great spas, especially in the downtown area and on the North Side. I included a link with a listing of spas.
The best way to find a job is to go into all of the various places you think you would like to work and get a massage. Find out if they have quality therapists and services and decide if you want to work there and then just keep at it until you get a job there. Ask the therapists if they are happy working there. You will be much happier than just going on everyone else's opinions although it may give you a place to start.
Ask the managers for an informational interview to find out more about the company so that you can decide if you want to work there!
