I have had several facials at Glow with Dana and am highly impressed. She is a true professional and has a very intelligent, open way of explaining, discussing and recommending everything from treatment types to products. My oily skin tends to a lot of blocked pores and her product recommendations have been excellent in helping keep my oil levels more balanced and my pores smaller, less blocked and generally better behaved all around! Nothing but good things to say here and compared to other salons where facials are perhaps a bit ($20-$30) less money you get far more than your money's worth at Glow. Brava Dana!

it was great to finally find a place where they know a lot about your skin and the way it works! the facials are great and all girls spend time with you to figure out your needs. definitely if you want your skin to glow:) that is the place! one things that this place lacks is a relaxing spa atmosphere.... it's not like you come in, they give you a rope, slippers and you can sit on a couch, watch TV, drink fancy tea and listen to a good music on the background.... there are spas like that.. this one is more for actual results, if you have any concerns about your skin... i would say it's more medical approach, which i love!

Pros: great facials!

Cons: not very much of a spa experience

I am not a type of person to write review. I read them and make a decision to wander to go or not. But I can't resist not saying anything about my experiences with Glow Skin Spa. More like, it is my last resort . For years, I been suffering with acne. Until recently, my acne is just not behaving anymore. In addition, I have sensitive skin too. So I am very limited to what I can use. I believe I brought everything that is out there for my skin type. Spend over $500, still no results. I was very very frustrated. Until I read the reviews here and give this spa a try. I must say, I am so glad I did. The person who made my face all in balance and clear is the lovely Jaime Carson. She customize my facial and my at home regimen. She always tell me what she is doing during the facial. After 4 months, my skin is soooooooooooooooo much more clearer. The environment is great. Like there slogan. They can't wait to pamper you. And I must say. THEY DO PAMPER YOU.

Pros: GREAT SERVICES AND PRODUCTS!

Cons: NONE

Being a man who has never had a facial or been to a spa, I was a little leery about this. I must tell you, my aesthetician, Meaghan put me right at ease with her friendliness and sense of humor. It really was a refreshing experience. It was so relaxing, I actually fell asleep! My skin felt great after the treatment and my girlfriend said I looked fabulous! I will be returning! Thanks Meaghan.

Pros: ambience, service

Cons: parking

My coworker's girlfriend was kind enough to pass along her Spa Week appointment to me when she found out she would be out of town. I went to Glow and had a great experience. I often go into a facial and leave it to the specialist to recommend the treatment for me. My specialist chose the glycolic facial and it was great and I left feeling refreshed. The second time I went my specialist was Kyra. I have been trying out various spas for a while now and with my combination skin and the constant travel it has been hard to locate the right products for me. Kyra was great. Skin felt great after the facial and the products she recommended have been perfect. I have gone through many trial regiments before and told her I wanted it to be a simple regiment. I took her recommendation and I have been very pleased with the results.

I've been going to see Marjorie for about six months. She has made my skin look amazing! She is sweet and gentle and I feel refreshed every time I see her. She has suggested various products, but has never pushed any of them on me. Frankly, they work, and I now trust her guidance. And though a Brazilian might be the most uncomfortable position to be in -- it is actually, easy and relaxing to have done. Marjorie is a true professional and takes time with her clients to instruct on the products and proper skin care techniques. Amazing woman! Also, Gillian Gorman's sports massages are a MUST for any athlete.

A neophyte I am not when it comes to spa facials. For whatever reason (maybe I needed another challenge in my life?), my creator bestowed adult acne upon me. I have tried OTC products, I’ve had my dermatologist prescribe creams and antibiotics, all to stave off painful eruptions and unsightly white/blackheads. After bouncing around, trying various spas and their spa facials, I’ve been blessed to happen upon Glow and, more specifically, Jaime Carson. When I first came to Glow, my skin was a road map and horribly inflamed. Jaime gently evacuated my skin and set up a plan of action to calm my skin and prevent future problems. I appreciated the time (I needed an extra 20 mins. of extractions!) and care she showed me. She’s phenomenal and I recommend her with unqualified zeal. She loves her profession; it shows in her manner and her work. I’ve been her client for two months and my skin has done a complete turnaround. If you want the same, run, don't walk, to Glow spa. At last, my search is complete -- good thing since Jaime has eradicated the roadmap from my face :o)

Pros: location, atmosphere, friendly staff, prompt

Cons: none

It's been five months since my first facial at Glow and my skin has never looked better. Since then, I've received numerous compliments about how good my skin looks and how my skin just "glows" beautifully. The facials have helped my skin become more healthy inside and out. Prior to this, I visited dermatologists and none has been able to achieve the results I got at Glow. I truly wished I found this place sooner. My skin is not easy to handle--I have super-sensitive skin with periodic breakouts. I've been seeing Keri at Glow and she is truly terrific. She knows exactly how to take care of my skin. I'm pretty nervous about getting facials in general because of my sensitive skin, but I know I'm in good hands with Keri. She is friendly, down-to-earth, accommodating, and very knowledge about skincare. I have lots of questions and she's able to answer all of them very throughly. She also took the time to send me website links so that I can read up more on topics I've asked about. She listens well and makes the right recommendations for my skin to achieve its optimal state. Thank you Keri for helping me regain the confidence I lost when I experienced those painful breakouts. Now I walk out confidently knowing that I don't have to hide my skin anymore. Glow is intimate and very relaxing--you'll feel a sense of calm and serenity the moment you step inside. The Glow team really takes care of you to ensure you have the best experience--thank you everyone at Glow for making me one loyal customer!!!

I have had several facials at Glow Skin Spa and I keep coming back for more. Their friendly staff put you at ease as soon as you walk in the door. The zen environment of the spa is super relaxing and authentic. And - oh yeah - the facials are amazing. They really look at your skin and customize a facial just for you. They also explain each step for you if you are interested, so you know all the wonderful things they are doing to your skin. I love this place!

I L-O-V-E Glow Skin Spa. I always tell my friends to go there because I feel confident in their services. Their facials are so relaxing and the estheticians are very professional and make you feel right at home. And I am just a melty puddle of happy mush after their massages - no more back pain! I always feel beautiful after I leave Glow Skin Spa. Highly recommended!

Pros: Great location, highly knowledgeable staff
