Great Romantic experience

by grosartig

I got the Mud Massage Therapy and it was amazing!! From the aroma, to the conversation, to the music. I was very impressed.

Thank you Liza!!

I treated my girlfriend to the Spa Pedicure and she really liked it because she was being pampered. So to all of the boyfriends/hubbies out there, if you want to treat your woman right, take her to Labella!!

Thank you Natascha!!

• Pros: Knowledgeable and good personalties

Good First-Time Facial Experience

by doxiedoglover76

Brief Summary- Great Technician:Great Idea:Too Noisy to Really Let Go and Relax

------------

LaBella Home Spa, is located in a lovely home in South Minenapolis. They have converted the homes basement into a relaxing spa enviroment. (Negative - the actual door to the spa was around the back of the home, it was snowing, and unshoveled path, made it uninviting). I really enjoyed the facial itself, however, when I made the appointment for both me and my best friend to have facials (at the same time) that's what I assumed we would be getting, but when we arrived, we found out that we would both have to wait while the other received services. The person that made our appointment should have told us that she could not accomodate both facials at the same time. My friend and I both agree that the facial itself was great, relaxing, and renewing. During both of our waiting period though we were not attended to, the furnace would kick on and make us jump, and periodically we could hear music from upstairs, which broke the relaxing enviroment that they had tried to establish in the area of the actual spa. I enjoyed getting a facial, but would have to think twice about attending LaBella again, only because it's spa is not partitioned off well enough from the rest of the home.

• Pros: Great Technician-Very Knowledgable.
• Cons: Uninviting Entrance, Couldn't Accomodate Two Facials at Once, Noisy Waiting area.

Beautiful pedicures - Great reflexology!

by cam323

Natascha gives the best pedicures I've ever had. My feet looked simply beautiful and felt even better. The reflexology transformed my tired aching feet into the most comfortable feet in town. Small, comfortable and warm - LaBella is for me.

• Pros: Very skilled & professional nail tech; atmosphere;

Best Secret

by smplsdnr

I was a little wary going here the first time. It is in a home in SE Minneapolis. The home is charming and so I walked around the back to the spa entrance and was tickled because it was a great spa experience. It was quiet, relaxing, friendly and warm. The owner greeted me and offered me a glass of spring water. I got a facial and it was so relaxing I fell asleep. Also the use Dermologica. Those are the products that the Mayo recommends. I left with great skin and I will definitely go back.

• Pros: Intimate, relaxing
• Cons: none

choose LaBella

by elsieb74

Wonderful experience, so impressed. Natasha is a warm, talented person and that shines through. My facial was fabulous, very gentle and thoughtful, with lots of great massage. Pedicure was great, very hydrating and cleansing. Decor warm and fresh, and most importantly, this place is quiet, not like the big places where you're moved around like cattle. You definitely feel like #1 here, and the experience is relaxing and enjoyable. It's also nice to feel that you're in a "home" setting; it all contributes to the warmth. They were flexible with my schedule, fitting in my two appointments back-to-back only the day before, despite them being busy. Facial products also great, and I was given free samples to try which is always welcome. Definitely give your hard earned money to LaBella, not the other more well known places.

• Pros: Great value for money, lovely people, quiet
• Cons: None

Best Manicures

by funangie

I went to LaBella for the first time to fix a bad acrylic manicure I had gotten done somewhere else. Natascha gave me a wonderful acrylic manicure and helped me pick out a flattering nail color that I would have shyed away from typically. I plan to stick with LaBella from now on.

• Pros: resonable prices, beautiful manicures, cozy spa atmosphere

A treat for your feet

by maryeliz

What a great place to go for a relaxing pedicure - One on one attention and great results without the bustle of a large spa. The nail care area was comfortable (and very clean) plus the owner who did my nails was so nice. I called to say I was running late for my appointment and Natascha was able to juggle her schedule so I still got the full treatment. What other spa would do that for you? The foot massage was great and every product she used smelled really nice. My toes ablsoutely sparkled when I was finished!

• Pros: ambiance, value
• Cons: a littel hard to find

Excellent treat for yourself!

by atty_kit

I visited LaBella for a spa pedicure, and can't say enough about the experience! Though I was a bit hesitant at first, I went based on a referral and am SO happy that I did! The environment is fabulous--very relaxing, elegant and unassuming at the same time. Natascha did a fabulous job, was very friendly, and explained what she was doing every step of the way. She is the consummate professional and puts her client at ease immediately. I literally felt the tension leave my feet and legs throughout the duration of the pedicure. I can't wait to go back--for a manicure, too--and highly recommend LaBella!

• Pros: excellent quality, very professional, good location/parking
• Cons: none
