Bella on the Bay

Went back to get my hair done and it was amazing. Courtney was very talented and super sweet. She literally took the picture in my head of my hair and made it happen! so incredible.

Bella on the Bay is my favorite spa in Minnesota. I started going there a number of years back when it 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.
