Had my hair shined and blowdried for halloween and it lasted the entire 3 days and more! My hair has never looked better and I am very very happy and satisfied! The service was also great and I felt like I could relax! Absolutely going there again!

Had an excellent airbrush tan application today! She was meticulous in spraying and the coverage is perfect with no streaks or missed spots. She took the time to put powder where needed to prevent creases. Highly recommend Glo-Out for airbrush tan.

Great blowout! I was in town for a family wedding and needed a blowout. I have very think and coarse hair, and I’m particular about the type of blowout I get. Lindsey was great! She asked what I liked, and styled it perfectly. Great blowout and service! Highly recommend

The staff at Glo-Out was so informative and kind! They talked me through my options for spray tan shades, discussed potential future plans for wedding spray tans, and made sure that I fully understood the next steps (loose clothes, rinsing off, etc.).

I was in town for a weekend wedding. Decided last minute to book a blow out and heat styling. Booked this appointment based on reviews and they did not disappoint. Lindsay was great! Compliments on my hair all night.

Kara made me feel soooo beautiful!! I don’t get my hair done often so I’m the annoying type that only sorta knows what I want or how to describe it, but I felt like Kara really understood my vision and made it happen. The salon is cute and in a convenient location with plenty of parking and prices are super reasonable.
