Dermaplaning has become one of the most advanced exfoliation treatments for removing unwanted dead skin and peachy fuzz. It’s specifically glorified for it’s painless nature and zero downtime! This treatment not only increases product penetration by removing the pesky outermost layer of our skin, but allows makeup to glide on seamlessly by creating the perfect canvas to work with. It also acts as the perfect add-on to any one of your pre-existing treatments to increase the efficacy of the treatment. We know that trends in this industry come and go, but can assure you that this one is here to stay! So we’ve decided to partner up and create the perfect workshop for you to learn how to perform this treatment with all it’s safety measures, tips and tricks in the bag. You’ll be a seasoned professional in no time, and your clients will LOVE you for it. 

With the consistent increase in UVA/UVB research, most of us have learned or at least partially understand the awful repercussions of being a sun-lover. Most of us are guilty of it, and rightfully so- who doesn’t love a good GLOW? While we always encourage the diligent use of sunscreen, we’ve began to side with the experts these days and opt for a more healthy alternative- sunless tanning. Spray tanning has also become one of the most sought after treatments in this industry- having a serious client retention rate and unmatched return on investment. Super quick and painless, you have the ability to customize shades all year round so your clients will never look overdone and will always come running back to you for more. Becoming a pro is easy once you’ve got the moves down pat, and we’re here to help you get comfortable with colour! 

Makeup is something we all love to play with, until things go horribly wrong! I think we’ve all been in the position where our desired delicate wing ended up looking like less of a cat eye and more of a checkmark.. Whether you need to perfect your wing, learn how to contour your specific face shape, or lift your lids to draw attention to your eyes- we’ve got all the tips and tricks for you. As industry professionals, we’ve spent our lives dedicated to perfecting our craft through courses and seminars just like these. We’ve compiled all of our knowledge and experience to offer you the chance to learn all of the little details that will take you to where you wish to be!

A huge part of our industry, in fact the biggest part of our industry- involves our clients. The information that we share with them, the time we invest in them, the care we give to them- all of this is vital in guiding them to where they need to be. Conducting yourself, and representing your business with integrity are both crucial to the foothold you create for yourself. Retail is a necessary aspect of any business, but in our industry- it requires knowledge, right judgement, honesty and care. When creating a skincare regimen for clients, it’s important that we marry all of these qualities to produce the best results for them, everytime. We’ve designed a course that will help you identify ways to become a better seller by putting your clients at the top of your business model, and ensuring retention with integrity.

SO, are you wanting to add any of these services to your current spa menu?

COVID-19 Update

As the spread of COVID-19 becomes more prevalent, we find it necessary to explain the cautionary measures we’ve taken to lower the risk of transmission here at GLOW.

We understand that everyone is doing their part to reduce the spread of this virus. We want to assure you that we are keeping our health and yours a top priority.

Although none of the points below are new, we wanted to make you aware of what we do on a regular basis, and we are of course increasing our efforts to keep everyone safe and healthy.

If you have ever been to GLOW, you know that cleanliness is a high priority for us as we deal with blood on a daily basis.

-We have procedures we follow every morning, before and after each client, each night, weekly, and monthly

-We properly clean, sanitize and sterilize all of our equipment and tools after each client with hospital grade sanitization products

-We use single use items and dispose of them in a sharps containerWe wear masks and gloves during treatments

-We wash and sanitize our hands thoroughly and often

-We have had 3 routine checks (and passes) from Health Canada in the last two years (with the last check being only 2 weeks ago)

One of the benefits of GLOW is that it is a small, intimate place. We give ourselves 30 minutes after each client to properly clean and change over the room. We provide a boutique experience and never book back-to-back.

We are extremely cautious of the state of our own health as we work in such close proximity to you, and encourage you to also be mindful of the state of yours- recognizing if you are feeling off and taking the right precautions thereafter. Please be sure to wash your hands frequently, use sanitizer, and avoid touching your face.

Let’s focus on facts, not fear, support those in need in our community, and support small businesses during this time.

Since many of you have some time off, it is a perfect time to get out there and support local businesses and practice self-care and destress.

Why GLOW Beauty Bar is Your Trusted Medi-Spa

No matter how many beauty or skin care treatments you get, you will not see permanent results by using cheap or old materials. Quality over Quantity, right? This old adage holds truth in pretty much every sector of human life – and this includes the beauty industry.

When it comes to receiving beauty, health or skin care treatments, it is not the time to ‘cheap-out.’ We all love a bargain, but it is important to be sure that your amazing price deal is not associated with the type of results you will recieve. Cheap spa equipment and products can leave you with very temporary results, meaning you will have to spend even more money to finally get a permanent change. Sometimes these cheaper alternatives can - god forbid- even produce negative effects.

That is why at GLOW Beauty Bar, we promise our clients that quality is one of our top priorities. Allow this article to be your verbal tour of just some of the quality technology and products that we use during our treatments and services!

One of the most popular services currently trending in the beauty industry is laser hair removal. When a treatment involves the words ‘pulses of laser,’ it is really not something to mess around with. GLOW Beauty Bar is proud to use the Lightsheer Desire, as it always delivers not only amazing, but also permanent results in hair loss! Furthermore, this machine makes the average treatment time much shorter by using a larger 22x35mm spot size – meaning hair removal on the legs can be done in a jiffy. This new ‘vacuum’ technology that the Lightsheer Desire uses activates the skin’s tactile and pressure receptors by gently sucking the skin, which in turn inhibits the transmission of pain. With all these added benefits, it’s no surprise that this machine is the gold standard in the industry for being a leader in laser and energy based technology.

Looking for an anti-aging, acne or hyperpigmentation treatment that will leave your skin smooth and hydrated? A dermal infusion is what you need! Dermalinfusion is an advanced skin-resurfacing treatment that combines exfoliation, extraction, and the infusion of condition-specific serums to improve skin health, function and appearance. We use a technology called ‘Silkpeel Dermalinfusion’ that simultaneously cleans and exfoliates your skin, while also infusing your skin with customizable serums. These serums can vary depending on desired results. This new technology and process eliminates time gaps between all these skincare steps for optimal absorption of said serums.

At GLOW, we have many services to help you get the smooth, even complexion you have always wanted. Our LED Light Therapy Facial is one that continues to stun our clients with the results. For this facial, we use the Celluma Pro LED – a new and safe all-in-one system for numerous skin concerns. This treatment is proven to treat acne and to reduce pigmentation, inflammation and wrinkles by emitting UV-free infrared light energy to give damaged cells more energy, allowing them to work more efficiently and undergo cellular change. For more information on our LED Light Therapy, check out our blog!

What’s better than a basic facial? A Medi-facial! At GLOW Beauty Bar, we put our own creative spin on a basic facial to bring you an all-in-one facial. This Medi-facial features all the steps of a basic facial, such as cleansing and high frequency, but also includes dermaplaning, LED light therapy and a Knesko facemask. During our Facial services, we use a series of different high quality technologies and products. ‘NuFace’ technology is unique to our Medi-Facial, as this handheld, award-winning device gently massages your face with micro-currents to give you a smooth, toned complexion. To learn more about dermplaning and GLOW Beauty Bar’s dermplaning experience and expertise, check out our blog!

One last treatment that is popular among clients is Micro Needling. While ‘needling’ sounds scary, GLOW Beauty Bar uses numbing cream to make our clients more comfortable. Many clients report a feeling similar to exfoliation. This treatment promotes skin repair and reduces the appearance of wrinkles, scars and other signs of aging. We use the one and only eDermaStamp by Dermaspark. Microneedling induces collagen and elastin production within the treated area to give clients their desired result. It is important to note that this equipment (the eDermaStamp) is the original device of its kind and many beauty spas try to mimic this technology with cheaper imitations. To learn about the dangers and risks of imitations, read this article by Dermaroller.

GLOW Beauty Bar is your 100% trusted medi-spa. While you may know lots about these treatments after reading this article, how do you know which is right for you? Luckily, we can help you!

Did you know that GLOW Beauty Bar gives every client a free skincare consultation in order for our skincare professionals to properly assess your needs? While our experts are very proficient in identifying skincare concerns, we use the Reveal Skin Imager to give you the most accurate consultation we can. This technology uses a scan of your face to show us what is in the way of complexion perfection such as sun damage, brown spots or red pigmentation.

We want to help you achieve perfect skin through a 'guaranteed results' and safe way! Call us today to book a consultation to find out which treatments are best for you.
