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 decided to book Blowout Junkie for my bridal party hair. I initially emailed them per their…read morewebsite request to get something started but I also just booked 7 appointments for the morning of my wedding through the phone just in case. It was good I did that because no one responded to my email and I was on a crunch with my wedding 2 weeks away. I probably called an additional 2 times before the wedding day to ensure my appointments were still on the calendar and to confirm the artists. They were able to have 3 stylists so the day started at 7:45AM until 10:00AM. Blowouts include a wash for $55 and Updos don't include a wash and are $95. Everyone was on time which was great. We had 2 blowouts and 5 updos for the party. I think everyone's hair looked great. There was one auntie that was not happy about her updo (but she didn't voice it) so I don't blame the hair stylist on that and believe that the stylist would have fixed it had she said anything. It's important to note (with any stylist) to bring lots of examples of what you want so the stylist knows or to bring photos of ideas and they can choose what might look best for you. Overall, I had a good experience with Blowout Junkie!

They used to have a signature blow out that was amazing. None of the current stylists can do it…read more Blow outs don't last They Book you with someone different than who you originally book with Over Charge you

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!

Don't let these reviews, especially the older ones, scare you, and check out the ones on Google…read moreMaps. 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! She has magic hands--in my 36 years of living I've never had such a gentle blowout. Not only was she gentle and the blow dryer not too hot, but she achieved results. 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.

He is worth the drive. Atmosphere- The salon is very clean, welcoming, comfortable and spacious. Everyone is friendly and you'll always see someone cleaning and helping each other out. Yes they do speak another language but that's because that is their first language and it's easier for them to communicate to each other. It does not bother me at all. Also, they have a great play list lol Parking- It worried me the first time because it's the city but there's free garage parking and on the side of the street as well. I've always been able to park on the side of the street. Price- Fair pricing considering the quality and time spent. I'm usually there 8-9 hours. Hair stylist- Leo is amazing at what he does. He doesn't rush anything. He takes his time, gives you his honest professional advice on what color you want to achieve while keeping the integrity of your hair. I love how Leo styles my hair. It always feels silky smooth and soft. He can cut hair and gave me the cutest angle bob. So don't hesitate to get haircuts from him either. I always get compliments on my hair and recommended him to my co worker and now she goes to him too! Her hair looks amazing and healthy. She is happy with her results and said she will continue to see him. The hair results don't lie!
