Glow Aesthetics will remain in Kellner
Glow Aesthetics will continue operating at its current location at 8011 Portage County WW in Kellner.
The day spa had plans to build a new 3,600-square-foot home near the intersection of Peach Street and 24th Street South in Wisconsin Rapids, securing conditional use permits in December 2024 ahead of construction.
Glow Aesthetics announced on its Facebook page April 23 many things have changed in the last two years and the journey the spa started in 2024 no longer fit.
“After a lot of consideration, we’ve decided to stay at our current location,” the announcement said. “The place where we started and have put so much love into. And it feels so right.”
