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!

Unfortunately, my experiences with one of the owners have been very different. I've since moved away from Chicago but have returned 6-8 times over the past year and a half, and it has become increasingly clear that my loyalty as a longtime client is taken for granted. When this particular owner is involved in my appointments, I often feel rushed through my service rather than treated like a returning client. I've also repeatedly been placed with less experienced stylists, even after years of consistently supporting the business and spending a significant amount of money here. What is most disappointing is the overall attitude. My interactions with this owner have consistently felt cold, dismissive, and unaccommodating. After four years of loyalty, I don't expect special treatment, but I do expect the same level of care and customer service that any client should receive. The rest of the staff has always been kind, hardworking, and welcoming, which is why I continued coming back for so long. Unfortunately, the way one of the owners treats a longtime client, and the feeling that my continued business is simply assumed rather than valued, has really changed how I feel about a salon I once loved.

This is a service I've had done countless times, typically taking just 15-30 minutes and costing between $40-$50 at most, given how quick and straightforward it is. Before booking, I specifically asked about pricing, and the manager quoted me $40 over the phone. However, when it came time to pay, I was told the price was $75. While the stylist was kind and took her time, I was extremely disappointed by how the owner handled the situation. She was neither particularly warm nor accommodating and refused to honor the price her own manager had quoted me. Instead, she offered a complimentary blow-dry for a future visit, despite knowing I was visiting from out of town. At the very least, I would have expected her to meet me halfway. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience really rubbed me the wrong way. As someone who regularly visits higher-end salons and values quality service, I found the lack of professionalism and customer care unacceptable. For $75, I would much rather spend my money at a more polished, sophisticated salon where clients are treated with respect. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.

This was a fine experience, somewhere between either extreme. I arrived and, like others who have…read morewritten reviews here, didn't know where to go. 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!

I booked my appointment in advance, checked in with no issue and Cat greeted me shortly after. She was very nice and helpful. I was undecided between 2 styles but ultimately chose the old fashioned. My hair hasn't been tolerating Chicago's humidity well, so I did opt for one of the treatments to try and my hair wasn't a frizzy mess for the event I was attending that evening! Overall, my appointment took about 45-50 minutes and it was a nice experience. I'm unfamiliar with Chicago blowout prices since I'm from out of state, but honestly I was ok paying for the convenience since it was only a 4 minute walk from my hotel.
