"I Whip My Hair Back and Forth"…read more It was the call that every woman fears with every hair fiber of her being. The thing we dread more than accidentally flashing our Spanx when getting out of a car. My favorite stylist had LEFT MY SALON (cue my internal voice yelling, "Nooooooooooooo", slo-mo, Incredible Hulk style)!! But completely meltdown was averted-- she had thankfully just moved to another fabulous salon in Red Wing that had newly opened, River Blu Salon Dayspa. I would follow my hair whisperer anywhere, but I was so glad I only had to follow her to another building in Red Wing. While we have several wonderful salons in Red Wing, you will think you've curled up, "dyed" and gone to "hairven" when you walk into River Blu. The décor in this upscale establishment is so gorgeous and serene that it bumps this spa head and shoulders above the rest of the salons in Red Wing. Located on the first floor of the historic and beautiful St. James Hotel on Main Street, the spa holds cozy relaxation/waiting lounges within, as well as fireplaces, chandeliers, a mani/pedi room and massage room that all bring to mind words like "glam", "relaxing", "modern" and "earthy". Glamodern Rearthy? Glamaxing Mearthy? Word shipping not for you? Either way, you'll feel pampered...and that's before your transformation has even begun! If you've never been to this salon, you need not worry about which stylist to go to. No matter who works their magic on the lifeless, split-end-infested hair you walked in with, you will leave with a mane that you want to toss around like you're in a Pantene commercial. The salon also takes care of your inner beauty by making sure that the products they use, such as Intelligent Nutrients and Jane Iredahl, are non-toxic and natural. And here's how much a visit will set you back (trust it will be worth it)... Eyelash extensions Forget about your gums! Don't neglect those lashes! 150.00 for the initial application Fills start at 35.00 Massage 75.00... knot bad for one hour! Wax it, you hairy beast!

This is a rare gem…read more Because of having lot's of hair on my face, I started with mass clearings in Willmette, Illinois but, needed to find an electrologist closer to home for regular visits. I thought being tucked away in this small river town that I would never find someone close to me. So, I never expected to find a licensed electrologist let alone someone as awesome and kind as Jill. The prices are better than competitive. If I had chosen a place in the twin cities the cost would be considerably higher. It's rare to find someone with such passion for her work. This isn't just about business. Jill cares about people and genuinely loves helping them. What better way to take away hair that might make people feel self conscious about themselves. I know I stayed hidden for a long time because of facial hair. But, I have regular appointments and the hair is being zapped away more and more each time. I am looking and feeling GREAT!!

Prior to moving to Rochester I had many questionable bikini waxes and never found someone I really trusted who not only made me feel comfortable but did a fantastic job. After going to Elena I knew I would never need to experiment again. Her new studio is cozy and comfortable. I have been there both for waxing and for a hydradermabrasion facial which was delightful and such a bargain compared to what you'd pay in a major city or at a big salon. I will definitely be making her facials a regular part of my beauty routine. If you're looking to treat yourself, improve your beauty routine, or get any sort of waxing done, you seriously won't find a better option! I can't recommend Elena highly enough! Love the ease of the online appointment scheduling as an added bonus.
