Rooted in community, built with care
After years of working in the Minneapolis and Duluth areas, owner, Lindsay Peterson, recognized a need for elevated salon and spa services closer to home. Wanting to bring more options to the area—and reconnect with the community that helped raise her—she returned to Willow River with a mission: to create a warm, welcoming space where guests can feel truly taken care of.
your everyday escape
Willow + Root was designed to be more than just a salon and spa. It’s a peaceful retreat where you can slow down, breathe deep, and pour back into yourself. Whether you're stopping in for a complete hair transformation, facial, fresh lashes, or just a quiet moment in your day, every service is crafted to help you feel relaxed, pampered, and glowing—inside and out.

We believe in beauty that lasts beyond the salon. At Willow + Root, it’s not just about looking good—it’s about feeling refreshed, confident, and completely yourself.
