    I have been to GlowOut over the last 2 years and each time has been a wonderful experience. Everyone is so kind and informative. They answer all of my questions about tanning and every single time my tan lasted so long! Everyone complimented my tan and I feel very confident every time! Thank you Jenn, Stephanie and others for always making me look and feel my best. I recommend GlowOut to all of my friends and they love it too! I can't wait to go back soon.

    Neck line - 4 days after spray tan & following all instructions given

    Well.... I have two problems with this salon. I had to reschedule my appointment day of (yes I know about the cancelation policy - but I figured since I had to reschedule say day & they had the time, it wouldn't be an issue) and I got charged for both appointments. The bigger issue is the quality of the spray tan. 1. I asked for my face to be tanned and she barely touched my face. The color difference between my face and neck is crazy. 2. I didn't wear my watch for 4 days after the tan and after an hour of wear, I have a circle mark on my skin. I followed all instructions given. I did not even rinse off my body for 24 hours and then showered and washed off after about 48 hours. Horrible service and policy. Will not go back.

    So bad. Don't come here.

    I went here because my usual place was booked. The actual salon was super cute. But this is the WORST airbrush tan I've ever had. The salon is huge yet they have a spray booth so small that you're constantly rubbing up against the wall and getting dark brown spray from pervious appointments all over you. I asked for a natural color and they made me look like a Texas pageant girl. On top of it, they missed so many spots on me (I attached a photo) Worst 50 dollars spent and worst airbrush spray tan. I should have just gone to a machine at LA tan I'm sure it would have been better.

    Day after my Glowout experience!

    I did a lot of research ahead of time and recommend you follow the instructions. I got an express spray tan yesterday and so far I'm very pleased. After exfoliation the night before, not wearing deodorant and perfume I was ready to go. I'd recommend bringing your own thong since I wore full coverage underwear and my butt is quite white haha. The staff is super friendly and this was my first spray tan experience. I got it done prior to my bridal make-up and hair trial so I could make sure it was the right fit. Brittany was my stylist and she was very funny and meticulous. I'm excited to see how it looks on Saturday but I'm very pleased so far. Will update if anything negative happens but I highly doubt it.

I was super specific about requesting them not based on the positive reviews. The place is clean and in a super cute neighborhood. I got there 5 min early and Tiara was on time and so sweet and SO talented. I've had makeup artists just want to finish the job, but she truly took the time to make sure every detail was perfect. After my makeup appt I went to check-in for hair and somehow the front desk had swapped me with another hair stylist. I kept showing her my confirmation, but she could care less and was so dismissive. Even though Tiara was with another client, when she saw what was going on, she immediately stepped away and came over to help. She spoke to Juan and got him to swap clients with someone else so he could do my hair. He, of course, did an incredible job and was super fast to make sure I got out on time. Huge kudos for Tiara for not only being an incredible makeup artist but also for taking care of me even though it wasn't her job!!

When you walk in there is a cloud of spray and even breathing that in for 60 minutes doesn't feel healthy, I worry for the stylists. They have the window cracked but it doesn't do much. Please add some fans/ air cleaners.

A quick search led me to goldplaited and their male grooming package, which seemed exactly like what I needed. I was looking for something really subtle and natural--just a more polished version of myself--and they nailed it. They took the time to understand the look I was going for and didn't rush the process at all. They also checked in along the way to make sure everything felt right, which I appreciated. Nothing felt overdone, but it made a noticeable difference once I got in front of the camera. I felt a lot more confident going into the shoot, and the photos turned out better than I expected. Super professional, easy to work with, and you can tell they care about getting it right. Really glad I found them.

At first, I thought the makeup looked nice, but once I had more time to look at it, I realized my eyes appeared much smaller and the overall look made me seem older than I am. Before the appointment, they asked me to send a reference photo of the style I wanted. I did, and they upgraded the package I had originally selected. However, it seemed like no one ever looked at the photo, because neither the makeup artist nor the hairstylist mentioned it or asked about it during the appointment. The makeup in my reference photo featured light colors, but the artist immediately started using much darker tones, even though I was already wearing my dress, which was not dark and would have paired better with a lighter look. As for my hair, the back looked beautiful. However, despite showing a picture of the hairstyle I wanted, the front initially looked nothing like the reference and, honestly, looked quite bad. Fortunately, some adjustments were made later, but I was disappointed that my preferences did not seem to be considered from the beginning.

It's not a big space at all, but it wasn't very clear where to go, and there was no one at the front desk when I approached. The space was clean and bright but a bit worn down and tired. I also don't like that they try to upsell you about add-ons. They already do this when you book! Once is enough...! The woman who washed my hair and styled it/blow dried it was friendly and kind. She took her time, which is not itself bad, but it might be surprising if you book a 45 minute appointment and are in any sort of rush. I think $64 is a bit steep, especially since there are quality blowout spots that aren't that much, even today!

It looks like the salon was evenly renovated, and entering from the hotel lobby isn't the great challenge it's made out to be. KJ, my stylist, was a dream!

My hair is perfectly blown out and exactly what I was looking for.

    I had a very disappointing experience at this salon. I came in with clear inspiration photos for an…read moreimportant event, but the final result looked nothing like what I asked for. The service was so poorly done that I had to completely take my hair down and redo it myself the same day, which was stressful and time-consuming. The salon itself felt disorganized and messy, which didn't inspire confidence. There was only one person working at the time (the stylist) and no other customers present, which made it uncomfortable to raise concerns in the moment. The updo took over an hour and given how far off it was from my inspiration photos and with my event coming up quickly (it was on a Friday, and I had worked in the morning), I didn't want to sit there any longer. I also realized early on the result wouldn't turn out as expected when I asked for an updo and the stylist never used a curling iron (for the updo), despite the inspiration clearly showing defined curls. I would not recommend this salon.
