In Short
The Refinery doesn't have the time or space for the big-attitude power scene. This tiny second-floor hideaway is a bit of a secret, but those in the know come here for pro services in a discreet and calming environment.… Read Full Editorial
My Review by janetr1043140422 via Citysearch on 8/28/2014
My best experience ever!
My Review by joana1529378226 via Citysearch on 10/24/2013
Not the best massage I've been but still worth it.
My Review by elizabethh87021288 via Citysearch on 1/23/2013
Not worth the money! The only thing about my 'spa' pedicure was that the girl (whom I will refer to as 'the girl' because she never did introduce herself) did a good job painting my nails. Other than that it suck-diddly-ucked. The…
AWFUL!!! WORST EXPIERIANCE EVER!!! by MrsGuevara via Citysearch on 5/13/2012
If I could give 0 stars I would. My partner and I went in for Brazilians, we both had different people and both had terrible experiences. We were rushed in and out in 5 minutes. She missed several spots and managed to tear a skin tag of…
No Words to Express How Amazing by AshleyBlairNovak via Citysearch on 3/30/2012
Best Brazilian I have ever had!
This is BY FAR the best place I have ever been. Autumn (the owner) did an outstanding job and I will definitely continue to go here and will also be referring people to her as well. She had me in and out…
Best Brazilian! Loyal Customer! by rgri1101 via Citysearch on 2/27/2011
I found The Refinery after google-ing "minneapolis best brazilian" and was immediately attracted by the price. I made my first appointment and have been back three times since. The Refinery, in my opinion, may be on of the cities best kept…
Unexperienced staff. You get what you pay for. by Kristy B via Insider Pages on 2/9/2011
I was in for a brazillian wax and couldn't believe the way the wax pot looked when I saw it. Overflowing with dried up cheap wax, it was NOT Nufree wax (the ONLY antibacterial wax on the market). \r
\r
Towards the end of the wax when she…
Great first experiance by Marissa B via Insider Pages on 1/25/2011
This place was Great! Krista did a great job. I am new to brazilian waxing and she took great care of me! She told me exactly how to do after care and walked me through breathing and just kept my mind off everything. Plus she offered to do…
I've never been treated so mean. by Ginger2011 via Citysearch on 12/27/2010
Now I've been here before many a time and never really had too much to complain about until today. I will never go back to the Refinery again after the way I was treated. I called about 10 mins before my appointment to let them know I…
Great experience...again by Carrie80112 via Citysearch on 8/20/2010
I'm new in town and found The Refinery through Cityserach. Nice ambiance/decor. Friendly staff. Free parking first hour with stamp. And most important for me--beautiful wax (got a Brazilian from Chris) and affordable! I'm very happy. I…
Cheap Brazillian! Quality NOT so good! by 1daydreamer via Citysearch on 7/18/2010
My experience was not so great! At all. Unfortunately, the woman at another spa who typically does my waxing was ill. I was going on vacation & needed a wax immediately. \r
\r
I got the owner (she told me she was the owner) very quickly…
Excellent Shiatsu Massage From Alison by nightrocket via Citysearch on 7/7/2010
One's experience at any establishment is greatly determined by the quality of the individual service provider selected. So, I feel that it is important to specify exactly whose work "spoke" for The Refinery and established my…
Great haircuts by mnhail via Citysearch on 2/12/2010
I have been going to the Refinery for almost a year now and I must say I am very happy with my experiences there. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Jenna, the stylist who cuts my hair is awesome. She worked with me on a new style…
Great Brazilians and affordable too! by blackninja via Citysearch on 11/20/2009
The Refinery is by far the best place to go for a full brazilian wax. The staff is very professional, friendly, and they care about you as a customer. Waxing was nearly pain free and absolutely the best I have ever received. The cost is…
Don't trust Refinery's inexperience with your Brazilian by beth216 via Citysearch on 9/16/2009
I would like to tee this up by saying I have been getting Brazilian waxes for over six years, every six to eight weeks or so - not a novice with the service, and have definitely experienced varying degrees of quality & (unpleasant)…
The Refinery Rocks! by Joyce J via Insider Pages on 9/10/2009
My girlfriends and I have been going to the Refinery for Bikini Waxes for several years now and we LOVE it! The service providers there rock! I highly recommend it to anyone needing hair removal!
Cheap prices but experience of technicians lacking by localbeans via Citysearch on 3/30/2009
I agree with the other posts that say you can't beat the price for a Brazilian but I also agree with the variability of service. I've been there many many times for waxing and this weekend I used a gift certificate for a facial, a body…
Best Cheap Brazillian -- ASK FOR CHRIS! by beeXsting via Citysearch on 3/20/2009
Okay let me start by saying I've had about 10 brazillians done at this salon, which was recommended to me by a friend. Overall I think this salon is a treasure, I always find a parking spot right in front, they can always fit me in the day…
Great Brazilians and a Damn Fine Haircut! by whirlygig via Citysearch on 2/16/2009
I've been frequenting The Refinery since May of last year when I decided to take the big plunge and try a Brazilian. They were recommended to me by a friend and I am very glad they were. Not only was the price right, as I see has been…
Best Brazilian ANYWHERE! by mzmpls via Citysearch on 2/16/2009
Experienced high quality service in a laid-back environment... usually a service like this at a salon would intimidate me, but the Refinery was down to earth and I felt totally casual there. I, too, watched for any double dipping and even…
