About The Refinery Minneapolis
The Refinery Minneapolis is one of the Twin Cities' most beloved wellness and beauty studios, tucked inside the historic Twin Ignition Keg House at 34 13th Ave NE in Northeast Minneapolis. With roots going back over a decade as Minnesota's longest-running wax center, The Refinery has evolved into a full-service skincare and wellness destination offering results-driven facials, restorative massage, and advanced red light therapy alongside its signature Brazilian waxing services. Red light therapy at The Refinery delivers a non-invasive, full-body experience using low-level wavelengths of red and near-infrared light. These wavelengths penetrate the skin at the cellular level to support tissue repair, boost collagen synthesis, reduce inflammation, and enhance circulation. The studio recommends a consistent protocol of 2–3 sessions per week for 4–6 weeks to achieve optimal skin rejuvenation results, with ongoing maintenance sessions for stress relief, immune support, and general wellness. The space itself is frequently described by clients as immaculate, spacious, and calming—a deliberate departure from the clinical feel of many med spas. The aesthetic reflects the studio's ethos: beauty and wellness should feel luxurious and approachable at the same time. The team of skilled practitioners—including well-reviewed aestheticians Leo, Stephanie, and Afton—brings both technical expertise and genuine attentiveness to each client's needs. With over 400 reviews averaging 4.8 stars, The Refinery's reputation speaks for itself. Pricing is accessible without sacrificing quality, making it an ideal destination for both first-time visitors curious about red light therapy and loyal regulars who've been coming for years. Whether you're booking a standalone red light session, pairing it with a restorative massage, or indulging in a full skincare treatment, The Refinery provides a consistently excellent experience in the heart of Northeast Minneapolis.
