Random Acts of Kindness & Positivity at GLOW

Surprising our customers with a bowl full of kindness!

Throughout the months of January to March, GLOW Beauty Bar celebrated Random Acts of Kindness Day in our own unique way.

What is a random act of kindness?

Kindness is a positive gesture of goodwill towards others. A genuinely act of kindness can be ANYTHING, no matter how small it is.

GLOW decided to spread kindness by surprising our clients with different treats after their treatment - they were surprised with various discounts, complimentary add-ons, freebies, and more. The spa was filled with happy clients and lots of smiles during this time.

Be kind to yourself and practice self-care!

Yes! Self-care and self-love are also an act of kindness. Treat yourself to a massage, a facial, or even a spray tan to pamper yourself and show your body and mind some care. Choose GLOW Beauty Bar to be kind to yourself!

Here at GLOW, we are all about self-love and positivity. We are always encouraging our team and clients to reflect and be kind to themselves, and one another.

Ask yourself:

What is one thing you are grateful for?

One thing you did well today?

One thing you are looking forward to?

One thing you love about yourself?

If you get negative toward yourself, just stop and think for a while.. Train your mind to see the good in yourself. After all, beauty comes from the inside out.

Love yourself. Compliment yourself. Celebrate yourself.

At GLOW, we have a positivity jar to ensure everyone is being kind to themselves. Every time a client lets a negative comment about themselves slip, they'll have to drop a coin into the positivity jar. So stay positive and protect your wallet!

All money collected in the positivity jar is directly donated to the non-profit organization Feed the 5000.

As we want you to be happy, we know you wish others the same as well. It’s time to share kindness with the world. To spread the kindness, you can treat your loved ones with GLOW Beauty Bar gift card. Available for purchase here.

"Kindness is free to give, but priceless to receive."

Kindness is powerful. Kindness is simple to practice. Kindness starts with you!

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.
