Our Story

Who We Are

A•Glo Spa & Salon is an Aveda Lifestyle full-service salon and spa in Janesville, Wisconsin, serving both women and men. Conveniently located at 3023 Milton Avenue, A•Glo offers luxury hair, skin, nail, massage, and waxing services in a welcoming, modern environment.

Founded in 1999 by Christi Newell, the business originally opened as The Spa at Riverfront in downtown Janesville. Christi’s husband, Allan Newell, joined operations in 2001. In 2010, the business was renamed A•Glo Spa & Salon in anticipation of a new location and as a tribute to Christi’s mother, Gloria—lovingly known as “Glo” or “Glo-Glo.” The name reflects both her lasting influence and the meaning of aglow: radiant, warm, and full of good feeling.

Before opening A•Glo, Christi built a strong foundation in the healthcare industry, gaining valuable clinical, organizational, and leadership experience. Her passion for beauty and wellness led her to combine advanced services with guest-centered care, beginning with electrolysis, expanding into laser hair removal, and ultimately growing into a full salon and spa experience rooted in results, relaxation, and education.

Today, A•Glo Spa & Salon is proud to be an Aveda salon in Janesville, offering:

•Haircuts and custom hair color

•Facials and advanced skincare treatments

•Massage therapy

•Waxing services

•Manicures and pedicures

•Lash lifts, lash tints, and brow laminations

•The full line of Aveda products

Our space features eight private treatment rooms, ten salon chairs, four manicure stations, and three pedicure thrones, staffed by 40+ highly trained professionals. Guests enjoy a clean, contemporary setting with a big-city feel—paired with the warmth, hospitality, and approachable pricing of a small-town spa.

A•Glo Spa & Salon has been recognized with numerous honors, including Janesville Gazette Readers’ Choice Awards, Forward Janesville Small Business of the Year, inclusion in the Salon Today 200, and national recognition for team retention and profitability.

Community involvement is a core value at A•Glo. The Newells proudly support local fundraisers and meaningful causes, including their Candles for Clean Water initiative, which donates 100% of proceeds to charity: water, helping bring clean drinking water to communities around the world.

For over 25 years, A•Glo Spa & Salon has been honored to serve **Janesville and Rock County, welcoming generations of loyal guests and new faces alike. We’re grateful to be part of this community—and we look forward to helping you look and feel your best.
