Lori’s Salon & Day Spa

Came here to get a mani and pedi for my May wedding. This place is so pretty and relaxing.
My manicure and pedicure were so much fun and my hands and feet felt and looked fantastic when I was done. The staff is incredibly pleasant and wonderful to be around.
They can be pretty pricey as far as mani/​pedis go. Had it not been for the fact that it was for my wedding I’d probably have gone elsewhere. However it was a very positive experience.

Come here for a monthly massage and have a wonderful experience every time. Even made it in to an appointment during one of the many snowstorms this last winter and Lori was out shoveling the walkway herself for guests. I also received a facial here once and loved the room, it contained luxurious looking pedicure chairs next to a fireplace so now a sisters day with pedis at Lori’s is on the to do list.

My experience with Lori’s has been limited to facial waxing and pedicures, but those services have been consistently good. The pedicures in particular are better than any I’ve had anywhere else. Sometimes when you are «only» purchasing the less expensive services from a spa, the employees don’t exactly give you the same treatment they’d give someone else who was getting multiple services and spending a lot more money. That is not the case at Lori’s – I am always greeted warmly and I’m offered the same amenities as someone who is there for much pricier services. The atmosphere is cozy, inviting and very relaxing. The prices are a little steep for such a small town, probably more comparable to the Twin Cities. But when I consider what I’m saving in time and gas, and the wonderful customer service, I’ll stick with Lori’s.

My experience started upon arriving at the spa and receiving a warm welcome from the receptionist. I was given a warm neck wrap and served hot tea while I waited in the relaxation room. The décor was very warm and inviting. The staff was extremely pleasant. I booked an appointment for a Brazilian wax with Lori, owner of the spa. I have had Brazilian waxes multiple times before, but not from this spa.
The end result of the Brazilian wax was disappointing. Out of all my waxing sessions, this was the only time I ever experience pain. I was with Lori for about an hour, when my previous professional wax sessions took around 20 minutes. Lori’s unprofessional attitude shocked me. She blamed me for her inability to completely remove all the hair, stating the hair was matted and grew in different directions. Her technique felt unrefined and lacking in experience. I was asked to hold my own thigh to assist in tightening the skin for hair removal. I do not believe an expert in this field should have their client help out to this degree; it made me feel that she was unskilled. In my previous waxing experiences, I was never asked to assist and all hair was removed successfully.
They offer no trimming services in case the hair is too long for the wax to reach the roots appropriately, yet on their website there is a note saying «*For best results the hair must be at least ¼ inch long (approx. two week growth). «I know other salons have trimming services available in order to maximize hair removal and decrease client discomfort.
At the end of this painful experience, not all the hair was removed as one expects with a Brazilian. I was still charged for a Brazilian wax and no other discount was offered. She does not appear to have the touch or skill to do Brazilians; I do not recommend anyone to book a Brazilian wax appointment with Lori!
The next day after talking to Lori, she very graciously gave me a full refund. I commend her excellent customer service.

They offer a wide range of services, but they’re pretty pricey — like what I would expect to pay in the cities. I bought my mom a gift certificate for $ 50, and when all was said and done, I believe her haircut, style, and grey coverage cost over $ 100. The place has some little extras for sale as well, like bath salts and lotions. It also felt a little claustrophobic to me in the main room, but maybe it’s easier to breathe in the back rooms where they do haircuts, etc.
