The Refined Skin Medi-Spa is absolutely nothing short of terrible. This one sentence can sum up my…read moreentire experience but allow me to elaborate so you can truly understand why going here would be THEE worst investment and waste of time you could ever make. First, I called at 9:30am to make an appointment for a chemical peel, which is a service provided by a licensed Esthetician and thus, it does not require any sort of pre-qualification or doctor's attention; anyone can get it. I was then scheduled for my chemical peel later in the day. Upon arriving, I meet with Sarah (whom I presume is an Esthetician). She washed her hands, used no gloves, examined my face with her fingers and within seconds, told me she would NOT be giving me the chemical peel I asked for, since the $900 (and obviously, more expensive) laser treatment would be best. For the remainder of my visit with Sarah, she did NOTHING but try to sell me on the benefits of a $195 facial scrubbing product (similar to a giant, electric toothbrush). She could not have oversold this product if she tried any harder. Then, Dr. Kory Tuominen, MD arrived and within seconds - without reviewing any of the pictures that were taken of my face or my needs - immediately told me that the most expensive laser surgery was what I needed and that a chemical peel just wasn't going to work. How in the heck were these "professionals" making the most expensive decisions for me, without even so much as a glance at my face or consideration for the fact that I wasn't interested in laser surgery nor do I have the means with which to afford it? Then, Dr. Kory Tuominen, MD also tried to sell me on the same face scrubbing product that Sarah did. Once more, I sat through an entire sales pitch on how great the $195 face scrubbing product was and how, with the purchase of the product, I would receive a $95 credit towards any in-spa services I wanted. I cannot say this enough: The entire 45 minute ordeal was nothing short of a sales pitch that went too long. I might as well have showed up to a 90-minute time share rental presentation and got better results. So, we came up with three treatment options, with my preferred option (the least expensive option) being the third and last choice. I told Sarah I wanted to go with my treatment option (which again, was the chemical peels) and she told me I could but instead of paying $150 per peel, I had to pay $400 upfront for the services because it just "made it easier on the office staff and was more convenient for me." Really? How is doling out $400 more convenient for me when I've clearly told you that finances are a huge concern for me? I left so dissatisfied and angered, that I have filed complaints with all professional associations (including the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice) against Dr. Kory Tuominen, MD and his staff for their unethical, incompetent and shamelessly sales-oriented practice. Do not ever go here. You will absolutely be disgusted in every sense of the word

Checked into the St. James Hotel Friday and booked massages for my husband and me for Saturday…read more Karin, my massage therapist, was awesome. After feeling that my shoulders were super tight, she explained cupping and why it may be beneficial. And it was. She talked through every part of the process and I felt immediate results. She listened to all my needs and adjusted her treatment accordingly. Her work on my hips and glutes was nothing short of amazing. I would definitely consider a road trip back to Red Wing for another visit with Karin. My husband saw Mike and reports that he was very attentive to client requests and restrictions.

"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!

The office, overall, isn't fancy and doesn't have the newest of the newest technology however their quality of service, assistants, front desk staff and the doctor himself have made orthodontic treatment, as an adult, as much of a delight as it can be. This update is being posted as I reach the end of my first year in treatment (1 down, 1 to go!). I had an overbite with crowding for 20 years (I'm in my early 30s) so the initial treatment process wasn't the most comfortable with teeth shifting and all. Within this time I have had no pokey wires, no loose brackets, no mouth sores, nothing negative to report. The office assistants at the front desk are always friendly and greet you upon entering and leaving. The orthodontic assistants are always friendly with any questions you have and if it's something they don't have the answer to they make sure to direct you to the doctor. I have received tons of compliments already with how far my orthodontic treatment has progressed - even when I relay my progress info with my old ortho co-workers where I used to work! I highly recommend Arnold Orthodontics for children and adults!
