Glow Parlour Is Jannali’s Destination For Sun-Kissed Skin
Without the damage!
Calling all brides and birthday girls, anyone prepping for a school formal or party, and those jetting off on a tropical holiday in the middle of winter. If glowy, sun-kissed skin without the damage is what you seek, you have about 15 minutes on your hands, and a love for top-notch skincare, make Glow Parlour your go-to destination.
Founded by Nicole, Glow Parlour was born of a desire to bring high-quality, expertly-applied, quick-and-easy spray tans to the up-and-coming suburb of Jannali. Unlike other salons, Nicole has honed her craft in just the one niche, driven by the satisfaction of providing her clients with confidence and an “instant happiness booster”.
Stocking seven different brands, Nicole embraces many skin tones and personal preferences. “Clients are always looking for something different, so I like to give them a wide range of options,” she explains.
“There isn't a one-tan-fits-all approach, I like to be able to give CLients options for time, base (violet, green, caramel or blue), and quality.”
If the words ‘spray tan’ incite a visceral memory of sticky skin or scrubbing at two-day-old flaky colour, it’s time to revisit. Glow Parlour is advanced in its approach, with add ons to improve longevity, application and post-tan care, the Hydro Boost, Primer, and Glow Dry Treatment.
“The Hydro Boost and Primer are a great combination in that, together, they help tan to last longer and bind the moisture to the skin. The Primer helps to reset PH levels to ensure full colour development from head to toe. The Glow Dry Treatment, which is relatively new, is great for setting and drying the tan. So if you hate that sticky feeling that a spray tan gives you, that's a great option to add on after your tan”
Nicole’s expert tips for tan preparation and care…
Have your hair removal taken care of 24 hours beforehand.
Exfoliate (taking extra care to remove any old tan) and moisturise in the lead-up. One exfoliation rarely removes all OF your old tan - it takes 2-3 sessions.
Don’t forget to remove deodorant beforehand to avoid green-tinged underarms.
Wear a tracksuit and a loose t-shirt to your appointment.
After your tan, do not use any body/face washes or lotions that contain SLS, fragrances or mineral oils (liquid paraffin or petrolatum) as this can affect the result, just as washing hair directly before is also a big no no.
Become a shower Ninja and take short 2 minute showers. Avoid swimming in chlorine if you want your tan to last.
Drink up! Water intake is key to tan development and longevity - we recommend minimum 2L.
Your Spray Tans can typically last anywhere from 7-12 days depending on factors such as skin type, lifestyle and most importantly, your post-tan care.
Glow Parlour is open six days a week, closing at 7:00pm or 9:00pm on some days for post-work-hour appointments. Online bookings can be made via their easy-to-use system - including new client appointments if you have no idea which tan will suit you best - which can be found at glowparlour.com.
