Stephanie Ray opened Rebelle Eleganz, an aesthetic treatment practice, in the heart of Two Harbors last fall. The business, conveniently located in Salon 507 at 601 7th Ave., offers nonsurgical medical procedures to enhance a person’s appearance.
Ray is a Registered Nurse in emergency medicine and urgent care at Aspirus Lakeview Hospital. She was raised in Nipigon, Ontario, and earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay.
“As a nurse, I like to help other people feel good,” Ray said. “At Rebelle Eleganz, we want people to look and feel fresh and great.”
Ray is proud of her Ojibway roots and is deeply committed to supporting Indigenous-owned businesses, including hers. She is dedicated to providing all clients a welcoming and respectful environment, ensuring they feel valued and respected during their visits.
Ray was certified in the art of Aesthetic Neurotoxin and Filler Injections by Aesthetiq Institute in Oakdale, MN, before opening Rebelle.
“I work under the supervision of an expert Medical Director, and I strictly adhere to all the State regulations,” Ray wrote on her website.
Rebelle offers two specific treatments. One is commonly called Botox, which involves injecting a neurotoxin at strategic locations under the skin. She uses Xeomin® Smart Tox.
The other treatment is micro-needling, a relatively new treatment that activates the skin’s natural healing process. She uses the SkinPen® Precision micro-needling device, which Ray describes as “a small device that creates big transformations.”
Aesthetic treatments aren’t just for women. Ray says that more and more men are seeking ways to reduce wrinkles and bring back a younger look. She calls it “Brotox.”
Minnesota’s aesthetics industry thrives, catering to the public’s desire for non-surgical enhancements and overall wellness. The demand for aesthetic services is on the rise, but residents of the North Shore currently must travel to Duluth or beyond for aesthetic treatments.
Ray stressed her convenient location for Lake County residents and added a concierge service to bring aesthetics to your home or event. Whether you desire the privacy of one-on-one or a gathering of friends and family looking to freshen their appearance, Ray will work with you.
When asked about naming Rebelle Eleganz, Ray said she worked on it with a friend. “I wanted something a little edgy,” she said. “I consider myself a rebel.”
Ray is scrupulous about following all the safety protocols that protect her clients, and she carefully screens all of the products she uses. Ensuring customer safety is her top priority. She recently performed a micro-needling treatment on herself and is delighted with the results.
Treatments can be scheduled at the salon or your home, whichever is most convenient. To schedule an appointment or for further information, visit rebelleeleganz.com.
