Glow Beauty Boutique

Still just as awesome as when I started going here in June of 2014! I’ve been going for my brazilians and eyebrow waxes, I still see Sue but mostly I’ve been going to Laura as my schedule has changed a bit and I started seeing Laura for facials as well. The Glow products she recommended worked wonders on my complexion. Laura is in short, amazing! We chat the whole time and she is so, so gentle with her waxing, I can barely feel anything! The salon is clean and I never have to worry about anything coming here, I can just relax and enjoy!

Okay, I heard about this place from a coworker, then at random in the grocery store and then again at the gym before my class… after hearing about this place that many times within a two month span I decided it was probably a sign to finally book an appointment and check this place out. I’m so happy that I did! I had a brazillian booked with Sarah L. and in spite of me being really scared because it was my first time, Sarah handled the appointment 100% like a pro. I was done in 15 and had no breaks. My philosophy is that if I could sit for three hours for a tattoo, I can sit for a wax and feed off of my adrenaline — it worked and I got through it. Shout out to her for providing me awesome skin care samples afterwards, even though I wasn’t even there for that service. I’m definitely already in the books for a second appt, and will come back to get a spray tan that EVERYONE seems to be gushing about!

UPDATED REVIEW:
I was able to get the lash extension done by Leah, she is amazing. I’ve had this done twice! Both times she was consistent with the application. My lashes looked natural and full. The application took about an hour and lasted me 3.5 weeks!!!
I recently recieved the eyebrow 3D SLEEK BROW! ALSO AMAZING. Jen literally gave me a full pretty brow. It looked awesome. This lasted me 4 weeks! I didn’t have to touch my brows not once! I would suggest getting this application done if you have a hard time growing your brows in certain areas!

I discovered this salon on Unilocal and it seemed to have great reviews. I made an appointment online and was able to be seen the next day for a lip and brow wax. Via the introductory email I arrived 10 minutes early as it was my first appointment I was greeted kindly at the desk but was left sitting on the couch for quite a while. Enough time has passed where I had to ask if they remembered I was there because my apt was supposed to be 10 min ago. Some woman quickly came out and brought me back to the room which was comfortable and sanitary. I found it odd that I was asked so much about my personal life but was never asked about my skin type or if I had any sensitivities. Immediately after, and the days following my skin was inflamed and had very large breakouts. The area around my lips looks like it was horribly sunburnt and is peely. I am scared to go back there again because whatever they used did not work for me. Nice people — but I recommend slowing down and getting to know the clients skin before what they do on the weekend.

Love. Love. Love. Jen F. is fabulous. I first came to Glow about 7 years ago and Jen fixed a botched eyebrow wax. I was so impressed that I’ve been a faithful patron ever since and wouldn’t think of going anywhere else. All the Glow ladies are wonderful, sweet and professional. I have nothing but good things to say. The eyebrow waxing is always stellar. (I’m always complimented on how great they look.) The facials are great. The products are wonderful (I’m all about the papaya enzyme line). The latest service I’ve tried is IPL which I highly recommend. I have darker hair and darker skin, it’s like the IPL wants the hair on my lip to fall out. It’s relatively painless and the results I’m getting are awesome. Give Glow a try, you won’t be disappointed. Truly a gem!

I’ve been getting waxes here for about five years. I can say Sarah makes me feel comfortable and Its quick and painless. Great price too!

Here on business and wanted to get a quick wax. The hair salon down the street recommended Glow and they were terrific. They got me in immediately. The wax was quick and my skin is so smooth. Plus, the price was right. Will definitely be back next time I am in Braintree!

BEST BRAZILIAN EVER!!! This place is fantastic. Leigh is so nice and she makes you feel comfortable especially after having a previous terrible experience at a different place. They’re clean and professional and they use both blue wax and regular strip wax. They also seem to have awesome monthly deals which is wonderful. If you are going to get a wax go to Glow you will not be disappointed.

Terrible service. At the busiest time of year and directly before an international trip for me, Glow mixed up/misheard/wasn’t paying attention to the time and day I needed my appointment.
As a service to their customers it seems the beauty salon was keeping itself open the Sunday prior to Christmas. Ok great, following a lash consultation, I stood at the front desk and read the sign that Glow was going to be open on the 20^th and booked the Sunday appointment for eyelash extensions. I stated several times how it was convenient for me given my schedule and I appreciated the extended hours and the Sunday appointment. My consultant, KK, and the receptionist both agreed and we booked my appointment.
Lo and behold something ended up mixed up and my appointment was booked for the wrong day. Please know that I am not a flighty or disorganized person. The exact opposite. I know my days of the week, my appointments and my own schedule.
Since I booked the appointment in person, I was confident the day and time were correct. For heavens sake, I stood at the front desk and made the appointment. Glow does keep a great business practice in that they email appointment confirmations. It is my fault that I did not double and triple check my email. However, I should not have had so much faith in the business that they would book my appointment correctly.
As a long time customer at another well known south shore beauty boutique, I think I’ll keep my business there and avoid the confusion at Glow. Perhaps some improvements can be made at the front desk at Glow for the sake of other customers.
As for this review, I think I am most annoyed at the lack of sincerity with the mix up and lack of enthusiasm to make up for the mistake and get me into the schedule.
From other reviewers it looks like Glow does nice work, but buyer beware, your appointment may not be as scheduled. And they don’t care if they made the mistake.
Good luck.

Always do a great job with brow shaping and waxing. Have gone many time and seen many different people, all very friendly and do a nice work!

Decided it was time to update my review. This is the best place for waxing. Glow offers a verity of services from waxing, laser hair removal, lash extensions, make up (personal make up sessions), air bushing and a few others. I started going here in 2011 and been a loyal customer ever since. Great, friendly place. I started off with Jen for a Brazilian wax then due to scheduling went with Jamie and now im currently back with Jen. After so many visits I recently decided to have Jen fix my eye brows and boy am I glad. She is great. Overall this place is highly recommended. Parking does suck, sometimes you might get a spot up front most the time you’ll end up in the back parking lot. Pricing is also reasonable. Great place. Every staff member is great at what they do. I have referred all of my friends here and they are also now loyal customers.

I got my very first Brazilian wax from Sarah tonight. I was very nervous, not knowing what to expect (aside from my friends & sister’s advice/​experiences) … That being said, Sarah made me feel extremely comfortable in an otherwise «awkward» appointment. She was knowledgable, quick, informed me of another hair-​removing procedure. IPL… Which I have a consult for In a few weeks! And even made me laugh during my appointment! I HIGHLY recommend Sarah for anyone looking for a laid-​back, comfortable, informative* atmosphere for a wax. I re-​booked for 4 weeks and I can almost guarantee you will too! She is awesome! — I don’t ever Unilocal a bad review or just an OK one. Someone really has to wow me to get a review! :) hope this helps anyone looking for a good wax experience!

I have been going here ever since high school when I was getting spray tans! I have always loved it here. The past year I have been seeing KK Attardo and she is awesome. Waxing is definitely not fun but she makes it quick and talks you through it so somehow it seems tolerable lol.
My Bridesmaids all had their spray tans here before my wedding this summer and loved it. They are hand done so they come out perfect every time! I would definitely recommend here for any beauty services!

This updated review is long overdue! I have been going to see Jen for 5 years now and she is amazing!!! In the last year I made the mistake of going to Anastasia in Beverly Hills, CA and the woman butchered my eyebrows. I left there crying… No exaggeration! They may have a great reputation but it does not compare to Glow or Jen! Thankfully Jen was able to fix them and I always leave happy after my services. I highly recommend the facials, micro and waxing. You really can’t go wrong here. I have also had services done by Marisa M., Leigh, KK, and Laura who are just as amazing.
I always appreciate how the front desk tries to accomodate me, and the girls have even stayed late to make sure I have all my services. I work and go to school full-​time so the fact that they care enough to work with my schedule does not go unnoticed. Thank you Glow and all the Glow Girls for the exemplary service!

Jennifer started doing my eye brows a year ago and I can’t believe the results. Who knew I could have normal eye brows? She is a master. I don’t have to do anything with them anymore. No pencil, no powder… just natural. She really is an artist. I wouldn’t think of letting anyone else touch them!

Amazing service and attention to detail! So happy to find someone that understands the need for a specific «plan» for eyebrows! Thrilled!

Waxing does not get any better than Marissa S. She is super friendly and great at what she does. I recently moved to Nashville, TN and I have anxiety about finding a new esthetician. I booked my under arm IPL before I moved and wont trust anyone else to do it! (I highly recommend IPL! Received a wax 4 weeks ago and there is barely anything there) Also, the front desk people remember my name (I was going every two weeks).

This place is great! I recently moved to the area and needed a new place for a bikini wax. It’s super cute, they offer coffee and water while you are waiting. Very clean and front desk staff was friendly. I had Sarah L and she was great. It’s always a bit nerve racking when you have a new person doing a wax but she did a great job. She was quick, thorough and very nice! Like other reviewers have said the blue wax totally makes a difference. It really is less painful during and after the wax, which is AMAZING! So glad I found this place, highly recommend Sarah L.

Clean, great price and staff was amazing. Definitely going back!

I thought there was no hope for my sparse, fine, difficult eyebrows. I was wrong. Marisa is a magician and gave me a beautiful shape that made it so easy for me to fill them in. I’m considering getting my first Brazilian at glow because I had such a great experience and felt so comfortable. The blue wax they use made it virtually painless compared to strip wax. I will most definitely return.

I had been going to Glow for years for both Brazilian and eyebrow waxing.
_​_​Jamie I saw for my Brazilians; Super nice, makes you feel comfortable and does a good job. As mentioned in other reviews they use a blue wax. This wax is a hard wax meaning no strips and is easier on the skin.
_​_​I still occasionally come in for my eyebrows and will only see Jen. She is the best, no question for eyebrow shaping/​waxing.
_​_​Parking is awful as this is located on a busy street in Braintree. If your lucky you will get a spot out front, but usually you have to park out back.
_​_​Know they will try and sell you makeup and products.
_​_​Prices are average for the services offered.
All in all one of the best salons for waxing.

Kk does amazing eyebrows. I came in looking like a hot mess my two eyebrows were two different shapes and soo thin … After kk got her hands on my eyebrows I love them! She’s so friendly I recommend her to anyone!

This place is great! I came here for the first time yesterday and got a Brazilian. Upon walking in, it looks like a little boutique with jewelry and products cutely organized. There’s free coffee and comfy couches to sit on while waiting. All the rooms are in the back and the place was very clean which is a must.
On to the Brazilian. I had Laura who was great, we had a conversation the whole time and it was as relaxing of an experience as it could’ve been. She made sure to apply pressure after removing the wax which helped with the pain. My favorite thing is that they use blue wax. I’ve only had one other salon use in Harvard Square and I can say the difference in how your skin feels after is much better than the wax strips. She went over with wax strips after to make sure everything was gone.
Overall, the service and price was great. I’ve already made my next appointment!

I have been coming here for about 2 years and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Sarah L does a fantastic job — she is quick and it’s virtually painless.
This is the only place you should go for your waxing needs.

Laura is awesome! She did my makeup for my wedding and I could not have been happier with her work. I have had my makeup done by her many times for other events and she always does an amazing job. I struggle with my skin and she made it look flawless… I received so many compliments and have been asked multiple times who our makeup artist was. she’s that good!
She’s my go to for everything (facials, spray tans, waxing, makeup). Love her!

Love this cute atmosphere they have going on! Very friendly place with funky boutique feel. I went in for an eyebrow wax, I was early. Liz did my eyebrows and she took me early no questions asked! She was adorable, and did a great job. Meticulous and perfect ! I loved the experience and can’t wait to go back.

This salon is excellent. My sister in law and I had a moment of weakness before her wedding and decided to book Brazilian bikini waxes.
I saw Sue and I’ve been going back to her religiously every 4 weeks! My sister in law has been going back for the wax as well! Not going to lie, the first one hurt. It wasn’t super painful or anything like that, more like sore after. When you go back the second time, it’s not nearly as uncomfortable. They barely bother me at all now, and I’ve been probably 7+ times now. I will say I’ve been told I have a high tolerance for pain… but just bear with me!
Sue is very meticulous and positions you so she can get every teeny tiny hair removed. I definitely like the blue wax «down there», she uses the strips on top but I think that type of wax would be even more painful as you go south! Sue is super nice and down to earth; she just makes you feel so comfortable and takes your mind off the waxing. I’ve also recently started seeing her for eyebrow waxes as well, and she does an impeccable job.
You’ll be in good hands if you see Sue @ Glow! Highly recommend her!
