"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)...
