Our Story, Your Experience

About Us

At Spalon, we're dedicated to helping people look and feel their best. Our team of experienced stylists, skin specialists, nail technicians, and massage therapists work together to provide personalized care tailored to your individual needs.

With locations in Chanhassen, Edina, and Woodbury, we offer a full range of salon and spa services in a welcoming environment where every guest feels comfortable and cared for. Whether you're here for a quick refresh or a full day of self-care, our goal is simple: to make every visit a great experience.

Our Story

The name Spalon was born from a simple idea: why should guests have to choose between the luxury of a spa and the artistry of a salon? We believed they deserved both—beautifully brought together in one exceptional experience.

For more than 35 years, that vision has guided everything we do.

At Spalon, we believe self-care is more than a service—it's an investment in your confidence, your well-being, and the way you experience life. Every visit is thoughtfully designed to help you pause, recharge, and leave feeling renewed, inside and out.

Across our three Twin Cities locations in Edina, Chanhassen, and Woodbury, our talented team of salon and spa professionals delivers an extensive menu of hair, skin, nail, body, and wellness services. From precision hair design and advanced skincare treatments to therapeutic massage, rejuvenating body therapies, and the latest beauty innovations, our goal is simple: to help every guest look and feel their very best.

What truly sets Spalon apart isn't just the services we provide—it's the experience we create. We believe every guest deserves to feel welcomed, valued, and cared for. Regardless of age, gender, background, or where you are on your personal wellness journey, you'll find an inclusive environment where exceptional service and genuine hospitality come together.

For us, beauty isn't about perfection. It's about confidence. It's about taking time for yourself. It's about leaving with a renewed sense of well-being that stays with you long after your appointment ends.

Whether you're visiting for a quick refresh, a day of relaxation, or a complete transformation, our promise remains the same as it was in 1991: to deliver extraordinary experiences that inspire confidence, promote wellness, and helping you live beautifully.

At Spalon, we're not just in the beauty business—we're in the confidence business.

Brand promise is Helping you live beautifully

There is a reason we chose the name Spalon.

It represents more than the services we provide—it reflects the experience we promise. By bringing the artistry of a salon together with the tranquility of a spa, we have created a place where beauty and wellness exist in perfect harmony.

Every visit is thoughtfully designed to be more than an appointment. It's an opportunity to pause, recharge, and reconnect with yourself. From the moment you arrive until the moment you leave, our goal is to create a seamless experience that nurtures confidence, inspires relaxation, and promotes well-being—for your mind, body, and spirit.

At Spalon, we don't simply provide salon and spa services.

We create moments that help you live beautifully.
