About Us

​​

Founded in 2015 by a dynamic mother-daughter duo and officially established as an LLC in 2017, Drinks N Minks is a modern-day spa and beauty bar that brings a fresh twist to self-care—where beauty meets a good vibe. We are proud to be one of the first to offer B.Y.O.B spa experiences, combining luxury services with an inviting and celebratory atmosphere. Originally launched with mobile services, we’ve since expanded to offer a wide range of training programs and beauty services across the U.S. and Puerto Rico.

As a family-owned and operated business based in Chicago, Illinois, our mission is to provide elevated beauty and wellness experiences—specializing in corrective skincare and advanced treatments—while empowering aspiring professionals through education and mentorship.
