Is a GLOW+ Membership Actually Worth It? We Did the Math.

Let's be honest, when someone tells you a membership will "save you money," your first instinct is probably to roll your eyes a little. We get it. So instead of just telling you it's worth it, we actually did the math.

Here's What the Membership Costs
Annual fee: $159 (one time, paid when you join)
Monthly charge: $100 — which gets loaded directly onto your account as credits to spend on facials, skincare products, or partner services
So your real investment? $100/month for 11 months + $159/year to start.
And those credits? They never expire. Use them when you're ready, at your pace.
Here's What You Actually Get
This is where it adds up fast.
On every treatment: Every facial and add-on is automatically 20% off. If you're booking a $215 facial with a $50 add-on, you're saving $53 — just like that. Do that once a month and you've saved $636 over the year on services alone.
On your skincare: 10% off all retail skincare products. If you're spending even $50/month on a product (and most of us are), that's another $60 back in your pocket annually.
Happy Hour pricing: Members get 30% off facials during Happy Hour slots — Mondays all day, plus select morning hours on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. If you can swing a morning appointment, this is where the savings really stack up.
Your birthday week: 25% off everything during your birthday week. Treat yourself — you deserve it.
Friends & Family: Your family & friends get 20% off too, when they book with you. Yes, really.
The Perks That Don't Have a Price Tag
Beyond the discounts, members get access to things you genuinely can't put a dollar value on:
Free LED treatment within 7 days of any facial — a $50+ add-on, included automatically
Annual Skin Goal Reset every January: a complimentary 15-minute skin check-in, updated facial imaging, and personalized recommendations for the year ahead
Clear Skin Bootcamp — free access to our skin-clearing program (a $99 value) covering routines, product education, and lifestyle guidance
$100 off a Holistic Health Assessment at Holistic Harmony, our wellness partner
Priority scheduling so you're never last in line for the spots that fill up fast
Members-only promotions throughout the year — exclusive offers, early access to product launches, and seasonal surprises
So, Is It Worth It?
The membership pays for itself after your first few visits — especially if you take advantage of Happy Hour or layer in retail savings. Across a full year, members can save $700 or more compared to booking à la carte.
But beyond the numbers, what members tell us they love most is the consistency. When your facials are budgeted, credited, and ready to go — you actually do it. And that's when your skin truly changes.
