A Mission to Leave You Glowing
GLOW's mission is to deliver beautiful treatment experiences that leave clients feeling refreshed, revitalised and glowing. The salon offers the latest in beauty technology and advanced skin care, with Natalie deeply passionate about achieving the healthiest looking skin for her clients through non-surgical procedures. She spends significant time training and developing her team, ensuring a consistent five-star standard no matter which therapist a client sees.
Pure Fiji Body Rituals
One of GLOW's specialities is its range of Pure Fiji Body Rituals. The Fijian Herbal Press Massage uses detoxifying and medicinal herbs to relieve muscle tension and induce deep relaxation, though it isn't recommended for those undergoing cancer treatment, with cardiovascular issues, high blood pressure or who are pregnant. The Pure Fiji Island Wrap combines dry brushing and warmed exotic oil with a face and scalp massage, while the longer Pure Fiji Island Retreat takes guests through a warm milk bath, coconut sugar scrub, Lomi Lomi back massage and a hair and scalp ritual. For expecting mothers, the Pure Fiji Pregnancy Massage offers a gentler full body treatment to relieve discomfort.
Massage and Beyond
Beyond the Pure Fiji rituals, GLOW offers an Exotic Hot Stone Massage combining heated stones with Island style technique, and a Pure Fiji Body Glow exfoliation using sugar cane crystals. A more classic massage menu covers a 30 minute Relaxing Back, Neck & Shoulder Massage, a 60 minute Indulgent Full Body Massage, and a 90 minute version that adds a hot oil scalp massage.
Facials and Beauty Therapy
GLOW's full treatment range also includes Specialised Environ Facials, Omnilux LED Light Therapy, Dermal Needling and Cool Peels, alongside a complete beauty therapy offering covering waxing, eyes, manicures and pedicures, tanning and makeup.
The Team
Natalie's team includes Senior Beauty Therapist Andie, and Beauty Therapists Nicole and Macey, all carefully selected and trained by Natalie and top-level educators in the most advanced and innovative skin treatments.
