Amid the fancy storefronts and chic boutiques that line Michigan Avenue lies Water Tower Place—a soaring structure housing more shops, offices, residences and, at the top, the Elizabeth Adam Salon & Day Spa. The eponymous owner started her business in 1987, where she rented a single room in a nail salon in Chicago. Mostly through word of mouth advertising, her one-woman business grew into what it is today: an 8,000-square-foot, family-owned salon and day spa with over 40 employees who provide nothing but indulgent services.
