Okay. This was kind of a funny experience. I Googled a spa experience for a certain date (my…read morepartner's birthday) near me. This came up. They had a package with infrared sauna, Korean body scrub and massage. The sauna my partner was not ready for, nor the body scrub. He doesn't like extreme heat in saunas. They left us in there for close to an hour and came back and apologized in broken English, like they forgot we were there. Then they told us to get into these elevated bath tubs. That's the best way to describe them. They had foam mats on the bottom, and it looked like jet sprays on the side. Well, they told us to get in, face down, with our heads sticking out the fronts. Not super comfortable in any way, including getting in an awkward position in front of these ladies. So the water was between cold and very hot. It was Dove body wash, nothing special. They scrubbed us head to toe around five times. Asked why we were there, and I said it's his birthday. They asked his name and sang happy birthday. Very funny. Then came the massage. I had to use the restroom. This is where I was really disappointed. It was pretty dang dirty. Not just kinda. Like, dirt. Everywhere in the bathroom. So now I'm headed back for this massage, and I am worried about the cleanliness. The massage consisted of each small woman climbing onto our backs and using their elbows and knees. She put me into a bow position (those in yoga know what I mean.) Remember, we have no clothes on; it was very, very uncomfortable. She kept saying wow, you're flexible. They tried making conversation, but it was stilted English. I was trying to give back some conversation to be polite, and my lady literally just walked away from me while I was mid-sentence. Actually walked out of the room. I wanted to laugh with my partner, but he was putting himself into a self-induced meditative state to avoid the awkwardness of the whole thing. I definitely would not go back. I felt a lot of pain the next day. My lady was rubbing my feet, and hit a nerve of some type, and commented, hmmm. what is this? And I kept saying, yeah, that hurts. Until finally I had to yank my foot away and say, THAT HURTS. It's in a strip mall. You get what you pay for.

This was an odd experience in a strip mall spa. It is not a luxury spa, so I wasn't expecting…read morecucumber water and warm compresses. But to say it was basic is an understatement. My friend booked for us to have a spa package (massage, Infrared sauna, and whole body scrub). Good thing we aren't modest, because the set up was the same as for a romantic couple's massage. I felt so exposed with my body essentially splayed out for exfoliating. They used axe body wash along with the exfoliating treatment, which was overwhelming in its artificial man-scent, and sort of a confusing choice for a spa. The staff did not help get a relaxing vibe. Two women got in a verbal fight about how much to charge us at checkout. They also generally rushed us from one space to the next without much gentleness. It was what it was, and sort of the kind of experience that's fun to recount at a dinner party, but I didn't feel pampered whatsoever.

I've given this salon multiple chances over several years, but I've consistently felt unwelcome and…read moretreated with coldness. Despite being a loyal client, the atmosphere feels snobby and dismissive. On my most recent visit, I asked for a bob trim with some adjustments. The stylist, while knowledgeable and initially reassuring, delivered a very underwhelming result. The cut was basic, with no products used, and the styling was unacceptable. I don't believe anyone should have to pay that much to walk out with a style that felt incomplete. In fact, the service level here feels no better than a budget chain salon, despite luxury pricing. I've had warmer, better experiences elsewhere. While I can't speak to their intentions, it felt as though the lack of care implied they only value certain clientele. As a returning customer, I never felt respected or valued. Everyone deserves to feel welcome, and I hope they reflect on that.

I wanted to find a place closer to our new home to get a haircut as well as finding a new stylist who can take some of my hair thickness out...MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. I took a chance on Kayla Maloney and I can't say enough wonderful things about my experience. I received a free treatment due to a promo when I booked. I chose the shine treatment due to my balayage. On this particular visit I needed a change so I got 2+ inches taken off and my hair looks great, feels great (thinned out) and I will be back for sure! Not only that but Kayla is friendly and a great consultant too on giving you ideas on what to do with your hair. Can't wait for my next appointment.

I purchased a Groupon deal for the salon, to have a facial done. I'm familiar with this salon, and…read morehave been to it before, it had been years though. I arrived ten minutes early, only to wait for my facial to start ten minutes late. I tried to move past my irritation of the tardiness. I was surprised that I didn't have to fill out a questionnaire about my skin, as you usually do before a facial. The facial was going along swimmingly, until I was told that I needed a special extra treatment that would be an additional $20. I agreed to it, mostly because I wasn't given the option. The facial as enjoyable, aside from her massage techniques (WAY too rough) and the cold stone massage (it's December in MN, who wants freezing cold stones on their face?) As I went to checkout, I was given a big speach of offers and booking my next facial (understandable) but then she mentioned "And when you book your next facial today, you're credited back the $20 you spent on your services today". What a scam! I understand companies often have troubles with people using Groupon deals, but you do NOT up-charge for the service they paid for. That was completely unprofessional and not appreciated. Not to mention, my "special" $20 treatment was no different than any other exfoliation I've had during a facial. You should think twice before supporting a business that has shady practices such as this.

I made all of my 2026 appts in January 2026 so I had the appts I needed for the year. I go in approximately every 6 weeks. In March I made it for my Birthday so I would have my hair done for celebrating. The receptionist calls to cancel my appointment because my stylist is going on an unplanned vacation (one of their kids gave them the trip as a gift for Christmas so why did they even schedule my appt in March if they knew in December they would be gone) and doesn't even try to fit me in, just says I can schedule with another stylist. Let me add to this that I have extremely difficult hair to cut and style. Not just "anyone" can do it. So I'm left high and dry for my Birthday. Now I have a June 1st appt scheduled and I find out today, May 26, that another vacation has taken priority over my appt and again they cannot fit me in before he leaves. When someone charges $108 for a haircut you expect some professionalism and customer service. Could the stylist call and try to fit me in? Nope. Makes the receptionist do his dirty work. Maybe he should just retire and vacation all he wants rather than make appts he doesn't keep. He never used to do until this last year. I am finding there are much friendlier, very talented and more customer service oriented salons in White Bear than this one and they aren't as expensive. Would not recommend based on the non existent concern about their clients schedules/needs. Overpriced for what you don't get in my opinion.

Very friendly and nice environment! However, another client and I waited outside the suite for both…read moreof our estheticians to arrive (both after our schedule times) which was only a couple of minutes but also pretty unprofessional. This then led to both of them needing to heat up their wax which took up more time too as the other esthetician requested some of my esthetician's wax while I awkwardly stood in the corner of the room waiting to undress. They both were very kind but it was really a let down because I was on a tight schedule today and the whole appointment took 30 minutes when it typically should take 10-15. ABOUT SERVICE: I have gotten a brazilian multiple times before at other places and have done so much research on how it is done, and the way it was being done to me was incredibly painful and caused irritation. Not only was the wax being applied while not melted enough, the esthetician was spreading the wax in all directions and lifting the stick which tugged and caused a lot of discomfort for me. She then applied a strip and pulled in all directions instead of against the grain. This caused wax to continue to stick onto my skin where she repeatedly tried to use the strip to stick and pull off wax (this caused major discomfort to me skin even after I left). After the waxing she used tweezers to get majority of the leftover hair (thankfully), but then proceeded to just put powder on my skin and said I was done. I got home with wax still sticky on my skin and discomfort when urinating and wiping even hours after the appointment. This would have been a completely different story if it was one or the other, but being late and doing an improper service really bummed me out and I hope my skin heals soon. I just really wanted good service and hope people see this and do some more research before committing!
