The Refinery was opened in 2001 by its original owner, Autumn Williams. Being a badass female entrepreneur, Autumn grew The Refinery into a multi-room waxing and bodywork studio. The Refinery was put on the map as the home of the 15 minute brazilian and is Minnesota’s longest running wax center.

In 2013 The Refinery was purchased by long-time employees, Megan and Alea.
