Sure, Bright. I have followed Amanda and Amy (for pedicure and hair needs) from their previous work places and can attest to the great care and high spirited atmosphere they provide, along with their new co-workers. Their new, glossy home just makes everything even more special.
No, I haven’t tried a chocolate truffle body wrap or Hungarian herbal mud treatment yet, but who knows? Maybe someday. I did win a deep pore facial in one of the drawings and am giving that to my daughter in August, at the same time that I have an appointment with Amy. Bonding at the beauty parlor. I can see the fun that groups of women would have at a.renee, having their nails done together at that “nail bar” manicure station, before a wedding or other special event.
So, good luck with this gorgeous new venture!

When you’re accustomed to paying $20 each for tubes of lipstick that melt in the dryer when you forget and leave them in your blazer pocket, bleed, feather, fade, etc. -- $525 for permanent lip color (i.e., 26 tubes of lipstick) doesn’t seem like such a bad deal.

I was out at a.renee salon today and they said they gave away over 400 gift bags at their grand opening. They are a GRAND group of people. Thanks for writing a story about the opening.
By the way, Faribault’s restaurant Monte’s closed recently after only a year in operation.
Support your local restaurants. (And give big tips to your servers, especially at Froggy Bottoms. Should I give the disclaimer now that my nephew works there?)

Fermentations seems to do just fine, tucked away as it is in sleepy little Dundas. It consistently serves up terrific food and wine by keeping it small, focused and fresh. It is a destination dining at its best.
