Expat Living (Hong Kong)

Get Glowing!

-

We take a look at a one-stop-shop for all your hair, skincare and beauty needs.

Glow is among Hong Kong’s most highly regarded internatio­nal hair and skincare salons, and you’ll see why after a visit. Aside from a genuinely customer- centric approach, the upmarket salon has an impressive­ly full menu of offerings, based around three key pillars. Read on for the details…

# HAIR

The first thing new arrivals to Hong Kong notice is that, seemingly overnight, frizzy, uncontroll­able hair replaces their previously smooth, silky hair. Glow owner Sioban Guilfoyle is an expat herself and has a team from the UK, Australia, US and Hong Kong, who understand how humidity affects hair and have practical solutions at the ready.

The salon offers a wide range of hairstylin­g, colour, treatments and more for you to tame those tresses. It also caters to a diverse set of clients across a range of prices, depending on stylist; so you needn’t feel that it has to cost the earth to get your highlights done! In addition to highlights and smoothing treatments, Glow offers hair extensions (with four full-time technician­s on staff), hairloss solutions via their IAT-qualified trichologi­st, barber cuts, curly hair specialist­s and even an afro hair specialist (tough to find in HK!).

# SKIN & BEAUTY

For facials, Glow uses best-in-class product ranges including Environ, Skeyndor and CACI. Environ’s facials and peels combine decades of scientific research, effective formulatio­ns and innovative technology to help restore, revive and rehabilita­te the skin’s overall health and wellbeing. Skeyndor has been made and developed in Spain for over 50 years, with a focus on products containing the highest quality, ethically sourced ingredient­s. And British favourite CACI is the UK’s number one provider of non-invasive microcurre­nt treatments.

To complement the range of facials, peels and eye treatments, you can visit the spa for beauty services such as waxing, brows, lashes and nails, along with fullbody aromathera­py, lymphatic and pre- and postnatal massages. The spa team all hold internatio­nally recognised qualificat­ions and are happy to make recommenda­tions to address your skincare and beauty concerns.

# AESTHETICS

Glow can help you tackle various aesthetic concerns through its affordable and effective treatments and therapies, which include Dermapen and laser hair removal. The salon’s aesthetici­ans were trained by Dermapen’s own Dr Andrew Christie in Dermapen 4 micro-needling to address ageing, acne scarring and pigmentati­on. Their new machines also offer the latest technology in laser hair removal, with a very experience­d and qualified team all holding Cert 4 qualificat­ions in light and laser therapies. Glow is at 8/F, Silver Fortune Plaza, 1 Wellington Street, Central (five minutes from Central MTR). Visit the website for bookings and to browse the online store. 2525 5198 | glowspa.hk
