New in Lake Minnetonka: Jett Beauty

Minnesota’s original eyelash bar arrives in Excelsior

Jett Beauty, Minnesota’s original eyelash bar, has arrived in Excelsior. Expanding from its Edina location on 50th and France for over 15 years, Jett Beauty moved into the historic Mill Building on Water Street and is ready to pamper and take excellent care of their clients with their known exceptional and customized services.

“I’ve lived in the area for 10 years,” shares Jett Beauty owner Amy Kelly. “I felt there was a demand for our type of services in downtown Excelsior. Clients have loved coming in for a service and then being able to shop the boutiques afterward or grab lunch with a friend. It has been a perfect fit.”

The new space is gorgeous, with stunning high-vaulted ceilings and beautiful chandeliers. In addition to airbrush makeup, lash lifts, brow shaping, henna, and laminations, clients will experience expanded offerings in a private treatment room, including dermaplaning and red & blue light therapy. Deluxe Glo2Facial exfoliates with oxygen O2 bubbles, lite ultrasound smooths the skin and a relaxing lymphatic massage sculpts the face, delivering an instant reduction in redness and puffiness while infusing active ingredients even deeper into the skin. iS Clinical facial “fire and ice” is a celebrity favorite and “harmony” is safe for pregnant clients or individuals undergoing chemotherapy treatments. A new skincare line, Skin Reality helps adults and adolescents struggling with acne.

“Popular services have always been lash extensions, curated facials, and lash lifts,” says Amy. “We have a lot of business professionals come in for permanent makeup. We create a natural look by enhancing their lashline with a subtle eyeliner, soft and even eyebrows, and fuller, even lips with the liptint service to enhance their natural beauty. Of course, clients can also use additional makeup for a bolder or more glam look.”

Clients come to Amy for all reasons. For some, they’re celebrating a big life moment like a wedding or prom. Others come in looking for something to make their day-to-day life easier so they can look great right when they wake up and don’t have to worry about taking the time to do their makeup. Amy also helps many clients who come in for medical reasons. She’s worked with clients who have alopecia, scarring from an accident, as well as clients with poor eyesight, making makeup more of a struggle.

“I love our clients,” says Amy. “It's wonderful to meet so many people with different backgrounds and to learn about their life experiences. It's a great gift to positively impact someone’s life, and I have created close relationships with a lot of my clients over the years.”

Amy recalls one particular client who had been attacked by a dog as a young girl, receiving extensive damage to her face and needing multiple surgeries. “In her brow area, there was hair loss and scar tissue. She felt insecure because makeup would easily wear off, revealing uneven symmetry. Following the service, I received a call from her mom, sharing what a difference it made in her self-confidence and how it was a game-changer for her. That was so rewarding to be able to make that kind of difference for someone.” 

Amy emphasizes that no matter why you come to Jett Beauty, you’ll be met with a high level of professionalism and a great experience. Amy trains all her staff personally, ensuring that each member of her team provides the same high-end, customized care and service for all their clients.

You know you’re in good hands at Jett Beauty. “We partner with Associated Skincare Specialists, a group of Board-Certified Dermatologists. Dr. Jane Lisko and Dr. Holly Hanson provide cosmetic injections monthly at our studio in Excelsior, and Dr. Bailey Lee provides services at our Edina location,” says Amy.

The first step of any service is a consultation. Amy and her team know that first-time clients may be unfamiliar or uneasy with the various services offered, and they will answer any questions and prepare you for your appointment.

“When you come in, you’ll find a highly skilled technician who will take the time to get to know you and understand what you’re looking for,” affirms Amy. “We care about each client and will spend the time with them to understand their hopes, wants, and concerns and then customize the service to meet their individual needs.”

Amy is excited for new clients to indulge in the Jett Beauty experience and take advantage of new store items arriving daily. Jett also carries a large selection of designer jewelry handpicked in sterling silver 14k – 18K gold. They are an exclusive retailer of Acqua dell’Elba, a fragrance line handmade in Italy and shipped directly to the store. Choose from beautiful candles, diffusers, room sprays and personal perfume. Jett also carries iS Clinical professional skincare, Face Reality Acne skincare, the complete Revitalash cosmetic line and Glo Skin Beauty makeup line. 

“We’re growing every day and are excited to welcome new clients to our Excelsior store. We want you to feel spoiled and cared for every time you come in,” exclaims Amy. Start your beauty journey and learn more at: jettbeauty.com
