The Glow Studio is a spa in Huntington that describes itself as more than a spa, a community. It says it welcomes everyone, including the LGBTQIA+ community, and its clients include busy professionals and students. Services are booked by appointment only, and gift cards are available on the website.
The first-time facial is Genesis Glow, a 2-hour appointment that begins with a consultation, a skin and lifestyle analysis, and an initial facial. Custom Glow is a 90-minute facial that follows it and is tailored to the client's skin goals. Gua Sha Glow is a 60-minute facial using gua sha stones on the face, neck and shoulders, and the studio says it gives instant results in the look of fine lines, wrinkles and tired eyes.
Massage options include a 50-minute Spa Massage and Signature Deep Tissue Massage, which the studio calls its number one massage and which is performed by its resident massage therapist; it may need to be booked several weeks ahead. Foot Reflexology applies pressure to specific points on the feet and is offered for generalized foot pain. Ultimate Brow includes customized brow tinting, wax or shaping, and a relaxing eye treatment. Keratin Brow Boost uses an amino acid formula with keratin and four growth peptides, which the studio says lasts up to 8 weeks. Keratin Lash Infusion lifts the lashes and closes and seals the full lash, and the home page says these lash and brow treatments use no adhesives.
Waxing is offered for the face and body, for women and men. Facial waxing uses Berodin hard wax, and body waxing uses Berodin hard and soft waxes. Bikini Wax is $30 and takes about 15 minutes, Brazilian Wax is $80 and takes about 30 minutes, and Triple Threat Wax is $170 and takes about 1 hour 30 minutes, combining a Brazilian wax, underarm wax and full leg wax. Brazilian Best is $130 and takes about 50 minutes, starting with a deep cleanse, steam, exfoliation and moisturization, then a customized yoni area treatment and a Brazilian wax; the site says it helps prevent and treat ingrown hairs. Men's chest and back waxes are listed as TBD on the booking page, with prices beginning at $35 depending on the amount and density of hair.
After waxing, clients are asked to avoid heat such as hot showers and saunas on the waxed area for 24 hours, and to avoid sun, tanning, abrasive scrubs, SPF and sunless tan there for the same period. Highly fragranced products should be avoided on the waxed area, and only professional products recommended by the provider should be used. Pinking is expected to fade within 6 to 8 hours. Skin care products are sold through an online shop linked from the booking page.
The studio listens to each client's concerns and tailors its services to their needs, with the aim that everyone leaves feeling at ease and self-assured.
Casual and relaxed, meant to feel free of judgment.
