Craft over shortcuts
We teach the fundamentals properly, because lasting careers are built on real, repeatable skill.
Our story
It began with one chair and a big dream
Glow Academy opened in 2009 when master stylist Eliana Moreau converted a small downtown salon into a training studio. She believed beauty education had become too theoretical — and that real skill is built with your hands, on real clients, under the eye of a working mentor.
Word spread fast. That single chair grew into a full campus of styling floors, a skincare suite, a nail bar, and a makeup studio lit for the camera. Today more than three thousand graduates carry the Glow name into salons, spas, and businesses of their own.
Through all that growth, Eliana's first rule has never changed: treat every student like a future professional, and they'll rise to meet it.
