Salon & Spa on Railroad strives
to offer guests relaxed experience
Have you strolled down Railroad
Street in Eagle River lately? It’s one of
the busiest streets in town with many
new businesses popping up and many
others that are prospering and doing
well.
The Salon & Spa on Railroad happens to be one of those businesses. The
historic building, once a small-engine
repair shop, has gone through quite a
transformation on the inside.
The business, located at 123 N. Railroad St., has become one of the most
popular full-service salon and spas in
the North Woods.
Under new ownership as of May
2013, the salon and spa strives to offer
guests a professional, relaxing salon
experience, according to owner Jacki
Greene.
From the moment a guest walks in,
they are greeted with the salon’s flavored water of the day or a cup of AVEDA’S comforting tea.
“Our service providers really listen
and do a full consultation to understand the needs of the guests so the
whole experience from beginning to
end is wonderful,” said Greene. “Also,
we pride ourselves in our added value
services, a scalp massage with your
haircut and a hand massage while
your color is processing and, of course,
a quick lipstick touch-up to make sure
you are ready to get back to your
day.”
The salon is an AVEDA Concept salon, which means it uses and sells only
AVEDA products. Being trained at an
AVEDA Institute 16 years ago, Greene
is a strong supporter of AVEDA’s philosophy of giving back to the environment and communities as well as using
only the purest of plant and flower
essences to create their lines of hair
care, skin care and body care. The
AVEDA color line is 98% naturally derived.
All stylists at the Salon & Spa on
Railroad are encouraged to attend continuing education provided by AVEDA.
“We do have to travel to Milwaukee
or Minneapolis, but in this industry I
feel you constantly need to stay up on
the trends and challenge yourself to
benefit not only yourself, but for our
guests as well,” said Greene.
The Salon & Spa on Railroad not
only provides hair services, but also is
a full-service spa that specializes in
nail services and skin care. The spa offers manicure and pedicures, including
the no-chip Shellac Manicure. They
also provide facials that are suited to
guests’ specific skin care needs.
Now under new ownership, Salon & Spa on Railroad in Eagle

With nail services on the first floor,
