CENTRAL MINNESOTA'S BEST BEAUTY SERVICES

Reimagine Skin Spa - Cold Spring

If you’re serious about skincare or even if you’re just skincare curious, this is one of those places people whisper about like it’s a secret. From customized facials to advanced treatments, Reimagine Skin Spa has built a reputation for helping clients truly transform their skin. It’s not just pampering (although there’s plenty of that). It’s 5-star level care. The kind where someone stops you at Target and asks what you’ve been doing differently.

House Of Hair Company- White Bear Lake

You know that feeling when you leave the salon and immediately check yourself out in every reflective surface? That’s the magic people rave about at House Of Hair Co. Whether it’s bold color, seamless extensions, precision cuts, or a total transformation, this crew clearly understands that hair is personal. It’s confidence. Its identity.  Sometimes it’s therapy with really good lighting.

Poppy Salon - Waite Park

Trendy and approachable. Stylish. Poppy Salon has become a favorite for people who want modern styles with a laid-back vibe. Think dimensional color, lived-in blondes, effortless waves and the kind of hair that looks amazing.

Arbor Hair & Spa- Waite Park

There’s something about combining hair and spa services under one roof that just makes sense. arbor hair + spa offers that full self-care experience — hair services alongside relaxing spa treatments. It’s the “I’m doing this for me” kind of appointment. You walk in feeling frazzled from Minnesota winter, and you walk out feeling like you’ve got your life together again.

Pure Bliss Salon & Spa- Avon

The name says it all. Pure. Bliss. From hair to skin to relaxation services, this nominee has built a loyal following of clients who trust them with everything from routine maintenance to big-event glam. Wedding? Big work presentation? Girls’ night out? Or just Tuesday? Pure Bliss has become one of those dependable, feel-good destinations.

What makes this category especially fun is that beauty means something different to everyone. These businesses don’t just provide services; they build relationships. They celebrate milestones with you. They fix your “I tried to cut my own bangs” moments.

YOU CAN PLACE YOUR VOTES ONCE A DAY
