About

Glowing Forward is a one-person skin care practice in Pasadena. Claudia Melgoza runs it from 453 East Colorado Boulevard, and the business offers facial treatments, a skin consultation, and craniosacral therapy sessions. Appointments are booked online through Vagaro. The business describes its facials as relaxing and reports a 5.0 average rating from three reviews on its website.

The menu is grouped into several tiers. Class Pass Treatments are the most affordable, including a 40-minute peel with LED light therapy and a 40-minute microdermabrasion treatment, both at $49, a 35-minute facial massage with lymphatic drainage and Gua Sha at $69, and options for teens ages 12 to 19 with acne or congestion and for men dealing with congestion, razor irritation or dryness. Facial Treatments run from a 50-minute customized Essential Reset at $99 to an 80-minute Expansion Facial with extractions and sculpting massage, with prices listed at $134.10 after a 10% discount. Advanced Nano Infusion, a 60-minute non-invasive treatment that uses nano-channel technology to deliver serums, is also in this group. Sacred Somatic Facials are the longest sessions, a 60-minute version and a 90-minute version that adds craniosacral-inspired holds and intraoral buccal release.

The Skin Audit is a 30-minute consultation held by Zoom video call for $129. It begins with a pre-call questionnaire, followed by an expert analysis of skin type and concerns, then a custom routine, product recommendations, a PDF guide and an email follow-up. Clients receive 20% off products, and the audit does not expire; times can be moved by arrangement. A 90-day skin reset program is available to enrolled, paid clients, and it includes its own facial and a program-only skin audit.

For cancellations, the business says it will work with a client's schedule and offers makeup options. Custom facials are tailored on the day of each visit to the client's skin needs, including extractions and hydration where those are needed.

Looks beyond the surface to consider how stress, hormones, sleep and lifestyle may relate to skin concerns, and adapts each facial to the skin present that day. The business is not a dermatology practice and refers clients to medical care when it is needed.
