This is a great place for SPA services but I would not recommend it for even a simple hair cut. I got a simple layered trim and it was terrible and the stylist was unprofessional. I had a great massage though (not from the same person). They sholdn't even offer hair services and just stick to SPA serivces. More

I happened to stay at the Hotel Julien Dubuque http://www.hoteljuliendubuque.com/ and took advantage of the 35% discount for their hotel guests. The spa was very clean and services great. My only complaint was no steam room. More

This spa was like heaven. I splurged for the 80 minute massage and it was worth every $ and every minute. From the moment you walk in you sense a very relaxing atmosphere. The serenity room (that's what I call it) where you wait for your massage or selected therapy is very inviting and relaxing. The staff is very respectful... More
