We’re always working behind the scenes to bring more value, more care, and more glow to our members. That’s why, starting August 1st, 2025, we’re rolling out a whole new suite of GLOW+ perks designed to support your skin not only at the surface—but at every level of your lifestyle and wellness journey.

Let’s dive into what’s new, how each benefit works, and why it matters:


1. Happy Hour Treatments – 30% Off During Select Times

What it is: Enjoy 30% off facial treatments during exclusive “Happy Hour” windows each week. These are pre-set time blocks during off-peak hours where our members can receive luxury treatments for less.

When is Happy Hour?:Mondays (All Day)Tuesdays (10:30 AM - 12 PM )Thursdays (10:30 AM – 1 PM)Sundays (10:30 AM – 12 PM)

How to access: Happy Hour slots can be booked with our front desk staff to ensure the discount is applied. 

Why it matters: This perk gives you an additional 10% savings beyond your regular GLOW+ discount, helping you maintain your skincare routine more affordably and frequently—especially if you're working toward long-term skin goals.

Pro Tip: Use Happy Hour bookings to squeeze in those mid-month maintenance facials, without breaking the bank.


2. Clear Skin Bootcamp – Now Free for Members

What it is: Our best-selling Clear Skin Bootcamp ($99 value) is now included with every active GLOW+ membership. This virtual program is packed with expert education, lifestyle tips, nutrition support, product recommendations, and everything you need to address the root causes of acne—both internally and externally.

How to access: Members will receive a link to access the program via email once their membership is active or renewed. You’ll be able to access it anytime via our client learning portal, thinkific.

Why it matters: Great skin doesn’t just happen at your facial appointment. This program equips you with daily rituals, dietary guidance, and product strategies to take action at home. Whether you’re dealing with hormonal acne, post-inflammatory pigmentation, or clogged pores, this Bootcamp is your blueprint to lasting skin clarity.

Bonus: You can revisit the content anytime during your membership!


3. Annual Skin Goal Reset – Every January

What it is: Once a year (every January), members will be invited to a complimentary Skin Goal Reset Appointment. This 15-minute touchpoint includes new imaging photos, a review of your current skincare plan, and updated treatment + product recommendations based on how your skin has evolved.

How to access: You’ll receive an email invite every January to schedule your reset. Imaging and consultation take place at GLOW Beauty Bar and are included as part of your membership.

Why it matters: Skin changes with the seasons, age, lifestyle, and stress. This annual check-in ensures your routine evolves with you, keeping you on track and optimizing your treatment results. Plus, the side-by-side photo progress can be seriously motivating.


4. 50% Off ($100 savings) an Initial Wellness Assessment with Holistic Harmony

What it is: We’ve partnered with Andrea Rossi of Holistic Harmony Health & Wellness to bring you an exclusive $100 discount on her Initial Adult Wellness Assessment (normally $200). This 90-minute session includes:

  • A Whole-Body Energetic Analysis

  • Organ Health & Imbalance Chart

  • A Personalized BIE (BioEnergetics) Session

How to access: This appointment is conducted directly at Holistic Harmony’s wellness space, located in Islington Village. Email Andrea directly to book in your appointment: andrea@holisticharmony.ca 

Why it matters: Skin is a mirror of what’s happening inside the body. Andrea’s holistic approach addresses the root causes of issues like acne, sensitivity, bloating, fatigue, and more—so you can heal from within and glow with confidence. It's the perfect complement to your facial treatments.

Especially recommended for: Clients with ongoing acne, digestive issues, food sensitivities, fatigue, or skin inflammation that hasn’t responded to 

surface treatments alone.




BONUS: Free Medi Peel for the First 20 New or Renewed Members

What it is: The first 20 clients to sign up or renew their GLOW+ membership in August 2025 will receive a complimentary Medi Peel (valued at $205) added to their account.

How to access: No code required! If you are among the first 20 signups or renewals, our front desk team will add the Medi Peel to your client file. You can book it any time during your membership.

Why it matters: The Medi Peel is one of our most transformative resurfacing treatments, offering visible smoothing, brightening, and regeneration in just one visit. It’s a perfect boost for fall, post-summer repair, or a pre-event glow-up.


Why We Did This

Your skin journey is personal, ever-evolving, and connected to so much more than your facial treatment. These new perks reflect our deeper philosophy at GLOW:

We care about results, education, consistency—and most importantly, about you feeling supported from every angle.

That means giving you better value, tools to stay consistent, and connections to experts beyond our walls who can help you thrive inside and out.

Following a vegan, gluten-free diet can be challenging, especially if you're trying to get enough protein to meet your nutritional needs. However, it's not impossible! Here's a sample meal plan that's high in protein, gluten-free, and vegan-friendly for clear, glowing skin.


Breakfast

  • Protein smoothie: Blend together 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, 1 scoop of vegan protein powder, 1/2 cup of frozen berries, and 1 tablespoon of chia seeds.

  • Gluten-free vegan pancakes: Mix together 1 cup of gluten-free flour, 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 mashed banana, and 1 cup of almond milk. Cook on a non-stick skillet until golden brown on both sides.

Snack

  • Roasted chickpeas: Toss 1 can of chickpeas with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon of cumin. Roast in the oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Lunch

  • Quinoa salad: Cook 1 cup of quinoa according to package instructions. Mix with 1/2 cup of cooked black beans, 1 diced red bell pepper, 1 diced cucumber, 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro, and 1/4 cup of diced red onion. Dress with a mixture of 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard.

  • Gluten-free crackers with hummus: Choose a brand of gluten-free crackers that uses healthy whole grains like quinoa, brown rice, or millet. Serve with your favourite flavour of hummus.

Snack

  • Protein bar: Look for a vegan protein bar that's gluten-free and made with wholesome ingredients like nuts, seeds, and dried fruit.

Dinner

  • Lentil soup: Sauté 1 diced onion and 2 minced garlic cloves in 1 tablespoon of olive oil until softened. Add 1 cup of dried lentils, 4 cups of vegetable broth, 1 diced carrot, 1 diced celery stalk, 1 teaspoon of cumin, and 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until lentils are tender.

  • Roasted vegetables: Toss your favourite vegetables (such as sweet potatoes, broccoli, and bell peppers) with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and your favourite seasonings (such as garlic powder, salt, and black pepper). Roast in the oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and caramelized.

Dessert

  • Chia pudding: Mix together 1/4 cup of chia seeds, 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Let sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or until thickened. Top with your Favourite fresh fruit or nuts.

Remember, here at Glow Beauty Bar we offer our 12 week clear skin bootcamp program that provides 100's of recipes and walks you through a series of gut and skin health info to help balance your lifestyle! Our skin is an organ that absorbs the nutrients we put in our body, if we aren't digesting the right foods it's show on the most visible organ...our skin! These are samples meal plans, and you can customize it to fit your own preferences and needs. With a little creativity and planning, you can enjoy a high protein, gluten-free, vegan diet that's both delicious and nutritious!

EVENT DETAILS


Tickets

Tickets are $10 each and can be purchased in person at our spa location, on our website (Events page) or by calling in at 647-330-6044 50% of ticket proceeds will be donated to SafeHope Home. This organization helps bring awareness to Human Trafficking happening in our community and around the GTA. SafeHope Home provides a way out for these young women by providing a safe place to live and offers a unique and comprehensive long-term recovery program of 3 to 7 years developed to help young women exit the sex trade and rebuild their lives. This program includes support with housing, post-secondary education, counseling, recovery, life skills, job preparedness classes, job shadowing, and on-the-job training.

SafeHope Home’s long-term objective is to break this cycle of exploitation and empower the participants to transition into a healthy lifestyle within the community. The Durham Regional Police (and other regions of Ontario) have formed special human trafficking units to combat these crimes. Prior to the SafeHope Home initiative, a complete resource like theirs did not exist to assist those wanting to escape their entrapment.
