Elevated Glow Studio

Elevated Glow Studio is a small studio in Gig Harbor, Washington, with services grouped into facials, brows, lashes and waxing. Ella Scott is the licensed esthetician behind the studio's facial menu, and she also works on brows and lashes.

The studio offers four facial options. The Luxe Lift Facial takes 75 minutes and combines a Vitamin Veil Pro cleanser, a firming peptide mask set, a snow algae and spirulina cooling mask, an eye treatment and a daytime sunscreen. It is not suited to anyone who has recently had chemical peels, laser work, microneedling or waxing, who currently has sunburn, severe rosacea, active eczema or dermatitis, cold sores, open wounds, a contagious condition or active acne, or who has known ingredient allergies. A skin analysis consultation is completed before this facial. The C202 Facial also runs 75 minutes and uses a mandelic acid cleansing gel, a charcoal clarifying mask, an oxygen facial mask and Spot Stop Pro. According to the studio, it is aimed at persistent acne. It is not recommended for clients using retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, prescription acne medication or other exfoliating acids. The Dream Facial, 60 minutes, includes a vitamin C reversal serum, a hydrating cream, a time-balancing mask with malachite and a lip renewing hydrator. The Signature Calming Facial also lasts 60 minutes and is made for sensitive, reactive or inflamed skin. Its steps are a gentle cleanser, a cocoa enzyme mask, an aloe and calendula calming mist and a mineral sunscreen. The studio states that it produces strong results for clients with rosacea and inflamed skin.

Appointments are booked online through the studio's booking page. Opening days are Monday, Friday and Sunday, 9 AM to 7 PM. To cancel or reschedule, give at least 48 hours' notice. Cancellations made later, along with no-shows, incur a charge of 75% of the booked services. Arriving more than 15 minutes after the start time could mean the appointment is shortened or moved, and the fee may still apply if the service cannot be finished. Buy Now, Pay Later can be used for in-person bookings between $50 and $4,000, pending approval before the appointment. Gift cards are sold in $50, $75, $100 or $200 denominations, or in a custom amount, and can be set for scheduled delivery. Gift card sales are final. Questions can be sent to Ella Scott via the website's contact form.

Appointments are built around each client, and the Luxe Lift Facial starts with a consultation and skin analysis.
