GLOWSAI BEAUTY

Glowsai Beauty is founded by Saidis Polanco, a professional makeup artist who also teaches makeup courses. The business describes its work as high-end makeup artistry.

Wedding day services come in Standard, Deluxe and Platinum packages, with pricing provided on request through the inquiry form. Brides can book a trial of makeup alone or hair and makeup together, ideally one to three months before the wedding. A wedding date needs a contract signed by both parties and a $150 deposit, which is non-refundable. Bookings should be made at least a month ahead, depending on availability. Details are confirmed with the client two to three weeks before the day, and the team arrives on time at the getting-ready location. The studio suggests a facial ten days before the wedding and asks clients with any skin condition to disclose it in advance.

Special event makeup covers photoshoots, maternity shoots, birthdays, graduations, prom, engagements, girls' nights, galas, bridal showers and similar occasions. Pricing is shared on request by Instagram direct message. Event bookings begin with an inquiry, a short conversation, and then a deposit to reserve the date. Makeup styles include soft glam, full glam, modern, elegant and glam looks. Travel fees are based on distance.

The professional makeup course is taught in person at the academy in Gaithersburg and is currently offered only in Spanish. It covers all skin types, photography, selling makeup services and marketing for makeup artists. Students receive a basic makeup kit with a case, theory and digital material, and take part in a photo session. A photography and social media class is included, and students receive professional photos of models from each class for their portfolios. Payment plans are available, and spots are limited.

The business says it works with top-quality products and strict hygiene, and tailors each look to the client's features and preferences.
