Amazing experience!!!

My wife booked a massage and mani/pedi for me. What an unreal experience! The hot stone massage was the perfect mix of relaxation and therapy. Best I've had in Tampa. The little touches made it all the more special- warm towel around the neck for gentle stretching, eucalyptus oil to open the nasal passages, etc. The pedi was great too, complete with a foot massage. All the conditions were sterile and pristine- not sure what spa the other reviewer went to, but it couldn't have been Glow.

Spa Perfection

My first experience at Glow was in October 2011. I had a Spa Manicure and Pedicure that was phenomenal. The selection of polishes were outstanding, from Essie to Chanel and everything in between. The "nail bar" was so chic and relaxing and really fit the whole feel of the spa, which I would describe as a shabby chic with a modern twist. I was offered a delicious Chai tea and the receptionist even made me a second to go (nice touch) The technician was extremely thorough and professional, the spa smelled divine with essential oils filling the air and their "apothecary snack bar" was so fun and inviting. I truly could not have been more pleased. (bonus My polish lasted nearly 2 weeks on my hands!) My second visit was three weeks later for manicure pedicure and massage. Again the nail services were wonderful and the massage was amazing. These girls REALLY know their stuff and I'm no stranger to day spa treatments. I had business in Australia for two months I just got home and after 20 hours of flying, was so looking forward to a full day at Glow. I had Mani, pedi facial and massage. I didn't think it was possible for a spa to be so well rounded but again they exceeded my expectations. The facial was the absolute best I ever had and this time i had my pedicure outside, which was a very nice experience. My other services were great (as usual) . I look forward to visiting Glow on a regular basis. The staff is friendly, the spa is immaculate, the technicians know their stuff and they have a great boutique to boot! If you are looking for perfection in a day spa this is about as close as it gets. (one small downfall is the parking, it's a bit snug and can be a hassle when they are busy)

Nail services are not worth the amount of money you spend. Nail technician was poor and sloppy with her work. Tools were reused, and they use old nail files and sticks. Foot bath bowl was not sanitized before new customer.

Reply from: Glow Couture Day Spa

My name is Wesley and I'm the owner of Glow Day Spa. I would first like to apologize for your experience and say that I am absolutely horrified by this review. I can honestly say that we have NEVER had a complaint like this before. One of the many things we pride ourselves on at Glow is our attention to detail and obsession with cleanliness. We take great strides to assure every client experiences a luxurious, professional and above all SAFE nail service. We are well aware that there are many business in South Tampa that provide nail services and our superior technique combined with our strict sanitation regimen is one of the many things that we believe sets us above the rest. We start by using sterile 100% copper soaking tubs that are bacteria resistant. We have several different tubs that are switched out and thoroughly sanitized between each client, we use these tubs instead of the tradition "jet tubs" to insure the utmost in sanitation and avoid the bacteria that build up in traditional jet tub piping. We absolutely DO use new files with every client, our implements are sterilized both chemically and by using a hospital grade sterilizer and we also offer personal disposal nail service kits for every client if they wish. I find it puzzling that anyone would continue to receive a pedicure in a bowl they felt was unsanitary and not cleaned between clients furthermore, I am even more confused as to how anyone could come to that conclusion considering that each bowl is removed cleaned and sanitized in a private employees only area between services. I would assume that at some point a client would have brought this most horrifying accusation up to either myself, the spa manager, the receptionist at checkout OR the nail technician herself instead of continuing on with the service, paying and writing a scathing review in the aftermath. In an effort to resolve this matter we contacted every nail client in our system that has visited Glow within the past six months and asked for feedback on their visit. We have recieved nothing but positive remarks and are unable to find anyone with an even remotely disappointing experience. I kindly urge the person behind this review to contact me so that I may give them a full refund on their service. Our goal at Glow is for each client that walks thru our doors to experience the best service of their life. Anything else is unacceptable.

I was recommended by a friend to come here and get the hot stone massage and I am glad I listened. My massage was so relaxing, I plan on going back to try other treatments.

Glow Day Spa is my go to spa for all treatments. After a facial you do truly Glow as you walk out the door. It is truly addicting! The massages are amazing and so relaxing and theraputic at the same time. The atmosphere at Glow is very relaxing and luxurious. Also good to note is the botique section of the spa has some of the best finds in town. Wesley has impeccible taste and knows what to buy to keep her clients up to date. Perfect to go for a gift or treat for yourself!

What a wonderful place this is.. I was reffered by a girlfriend who swears by Glow and boy is she right. I had a magical experience that began from the moment I entered the facility. Wonderful scents, great music and an array of treats and beverages greeted me from the beginning. My Facial and massage were phenominal!! The boutique was one of a kind. I was on air when I left. I will certainly be a returning customer!

I had gotten my wife a Spa Finder gift certificate for her birthday. I had also given her one last year, that she used at another spa in the area and unfortunately, she was left unimpressed. This year, due to several referrals from her friends, she decided to use her gift certificate at Glow Day Spa. She booked the Ultimate Glow package which included a facial, hotstone massage and a manicure and pedicure. Unfortunately, when she arrived for her appointment, she realized she had forgotten her voucher . The receptionist was very sweet and assured her that it was ok and that she could either bring it by later or pop it in the mail. My wife has not stopped talking about how wonderfully she was treated and how great her services were. She has gone back several times since and raves about it everytime. I would highly suggest this spa to anyone looking for top notch services, as well as outstanding personal attention. I now book appointments for my staff at Glow and they too always come back with a smile...

I just had the best facial and massageof my life at Glow. I needed a Saturday appointment and was a little put off at first due to the fact that they were fully committed for 4 weeks! Let me tell you it was WELL worth the wait! I received a signature facial and a Hot Stone massage , which I can honestly say were equally as enjoyable and amazing. I have had the hardest time finding a spa with a wellrounded knowledgable and talented staff until now. I am elated that I no longer have to spa hop to receive quality services. I have already made my future appointments in advance and am looking forward to my next visit!

I CANT SAY ENOUGH WONDERFUL THINGS ABOUT THE EXPERIENCES I HAVE HAD AT GLOW. ALTHOUGH I DON'T LIVE IN THE AREA ( I ACTUALLY LIVE IN PRAGUE), I TRAVEL TO TAMPA FREQUENTLY ON BUSINESS AND SINCE MY FIRST VISIT TO GLOW LAST YEAR, I HAVE MADE IT A PRIORITY TO BOOK MY FACIALS, MASSAGES AND NAIL SERVICES WHENEVER IM IN TOWN AND HAVED TURNED MY CO WORKERS ON TO THIS WONDERFUL ESTABLISHMENT AS WELL. NO STONE IS LEFT UNTURNED AT GLOW, FROM THIER VASTLY KNOWLEDGEABLE STAFF, TO THEIR LUXURIOUS BOUTIQUE AND TOP OF THE LINE SERVICES. THE EXPERIENCE IS SECOND TO NONE... THE BEAUTIFUL AMBIANCE ENHANCED BY THE ORGANIC ESSENTIAL OILS THAT PERMEATE GLOW'S SURROUNDINGS,REMINDS ME OF SOME OF THE BEST SPAS IN EUROPE, ONLY THE SERVICES I HAVE RECEIVED AT GLOW ARE FAR SUPERIOR TO ANY OTHER I HAVE HAD. YOU MUST TRY THEM FOR YOURSELF, AND BELIEVE ME, YOU TOO WILL BE A REGULAR. : )

I just moved to the area from NewYork about four months ago and had yet to find a spa that I loved, until now. I was given a spa finder gift certificate by a co worker and booked some appointments at Glow based on their great reviews. What a wonderfully,pampering experience! I now book regular appointments for their amazing facials and nail services and am looking forward to my first Hot Stone massage at Glow next week. I could not be happier and would highly recommend this spa.
