Glow Up

• Oasis Face Bar: The perfect, affordable facial when you’re in need of a quickie – very efficient. They have locations in Columbus and Cincinnati.  You also get 15% off your first time. What to get: depends on your skin type/what you need, but I love the Enlighten Facial with their pumpkin peel (helps to brighten/even out skin tone).
  
  
• Skin & Sugar: I go to Breanna – love her! But all the girls are amazing. If you have ever wanted to try sugaring (way more gentle than waxing) then definitely check them out.  What to get: sugar for hair removal (any part of your body/face) and a dermaplane (removes dead skin + peach fuzz)
  
  
• Boss Gal Beauty Bar: The decor in here is on serious point – think The Beverly Hills Hotel if it were a beauty bar. What to get: HydroFacial!!! It felt amazing and sucks the gunk out of your skin. Click here to read more about it.
  
  
• Penzone: They have a few locations throughout Columbus, but recently opened their Short North location and it truly has it all. Whether you need a haircut, facial, massage, whatever –  they have it. They also have a coffee shop + little hangout area in there. I’m in major need of a haircut, so stay tuned for my next visit there. What to try: A beauty zone facial + LED light mask
  
  
• Lacquer Gallery: Think of an edgy, yet girl power, glam kind-of vibe. Overall, the place makes you feel like a bad ass bitch and I love it. I’ve gone for my nails, but I am dying to try some of their other services (they do everything from nails & hair, to facials, waxing and even tooth gems). They have two locations: Harrison West & Clintonville.
