Bella on the Bay is my favorite spa in Minnesota. I started going there a number of years back when…read moreit was under different ownership (and a different name) and have to say I like it better now. Bella offers everything you need - hair, body and nail services - all in one convenient location: Downtown Excelsior. I used to get my eyebrows waxed at Bella (I now try to maintain on my own to save $, but when I do get them waxed, I no longer go to Bella - no particular reason). I've had an awesome massage at Bella... they give you the royal treatment... flip flops, plush white robe, tea and a warm fire place while you wait... when the masseuse leaves the room at the end of the service, she goes into the locker room and turns on the shower for you so it is ready and warm when you get in there. I've also had a pedicure at Bella and loved it. One downfall to Bella is the parking. Being in Downtown Excelsior makes parking sparse from the get-go and it doesn't help that Bella has a very small number of spaces reserved for customers. There is a tiny lot behind the building with room for about 4 or 5 cars - unfortunately, it's a small driveway to get back to the lot and you have no idea if it's full or not. So, if you get back there and it's full, you have to back up, go forward, back up, go forward, etc to turn around and get back out to the street. I got my pedicure in the dead of winter and had to walk a block and a half in flip flops to get to my car because there were no parking spaces nearby when I arrived.

This was my first time having Davines used on my hair and my hair is so soft! I got only a color done but it was absolutely wonderful and I would expect the cuts to live up to the standard as well. I also love the location. There is close public parking and before or after your appointment you can stroll through the cute shops in downtown!

I went for a manicure with a Groupon. Started that it was a $73 value and when I arrived she said…read moreit was $45. I explained again that I had the Groupon and she said if I wanted it with gel it's $60. I again said I had the Groupon and she said it only included the $45 service, no gel. I told her it was supposed to be $73 value. Anyhow, I was told I would have to pay $15 extra to get gel, but then she agreed to make it $10 extra because the Groupon value was so inflated. I paid $53 for a $45 manicure... Avoid the Groupon! So that was the initial pricing drama... Then for the manicure. The hot stone massage was decent. Then she was shaping my nails which were short to begin with and she just gave up on shaping. I had to ask her to please at least smooth them out. So unshaped nails and then came the polish... She did it so spotty and didn't even get it to the edges. Literally the worst polish job I've had yet. No cuticle work, so I looked at my nails when she finished and they already looked like they were a week old. At this point I had gel polish on my nails and there was nothing that could be done unless I got it fully redone. It took 2 hours from start to finish, so there was no way I could wait around any longer. They agreed that it didn't look great, but said there was nothing they could do and still charged me the extra amount for the gel polish and claimed my Groupon. The lady was nice (I believe her name was Tammy) but it seemed like it was hard for her to see super well and that's why the attention to detail was off. So 2 stars for the nice lady and decent massage that came with it! Otherwise go somewhere where you'll leave with nice nails

They have a parking lot that has a sign up to pay for parking. If you take a picture of your license plate or remember by heart, the business will validate the parking for 4 hours. There was a little bit of wait time when I arrived due to staffing but I wasn't in a rush. They played relaxing spa music throughout the rooms.

I was told it was $140 so decided to do it. When I checked out, it was 185 because the price did not include a color. So $185 for eyelash lift and color. That's about twice the price of many other places. I felt ripped off twice in a row. I felt ripped off two times in a row. I think their services are highly overpriced.

I started coming here when Kari Ann moved here from a previous salon. I've been seeing Kari for many years and cannot say enough good things about her, both as a professional and as a person. She cuts and colors my hair and is exceptional--always gets the exact color (and cut) I want. I also see Irina for my brows (waxing) and she is fantastic. I've seen many different estheticians for my brows over the years, but the final look of my brows has never been as amazing, symmetrical, and perfectly formed as when Irina waxes them. Highly recommend this salon for your hair and waxing. Extremely talented individuals work here and you are practically guaranteed satisfaction if you see them.

The staff was all so welcoming, fun, beautiful, and very talented. They made the experience very comfortable. I had my very first airbrush experience and left feeling so happy and flawless. I couldn't get over the fact of how natural my makeup was and how light it was. I had such a wonderful experience I decided to have Kess do a brow lamination for me. Again, this is a new treatment for me and I was blown away. I didn't realize I actually had that many brow hairs. The lamination came with a brow tint and she definitely perfected the color. She asked if I would like a scalp massage while the treatment sat on my brows and that definitely elevated my experience.
