Glow up Studios Avis 

My wife came in for a boudoir photo shoot and the service from start to finish was amazing the staff were so friendly and helpful from the hair and make up the staff that greeted us and the photographer the whole day was just fantastic throughout

Had the best time everyone was lovely and friendly. Felt amazing and loved my pictures

House Of Glow is a bedrock of excellence. From the first point of contact to the continued assurance updates allowing you to truly get the best possible experience, this is a masterclass in person-centred grace and quality.

I absolutely enjoyed this experience and can only attest to such brilliant people that actually take the special effort to make you feel appreciated and welcome at all times as though you're royalty irrespective of background. Something that i would highlight is the fact that this excellent team never pressure you to purchase anything and in fact enable you to identify your own strengths and potential opportunities. The staff are phenomenally professional- Front Of House, Reception, the Hair & Make-Up, Photographers, Management and ICT Personnel who are always checking that your needs are being catered for.

I was actually wowed at how sympathetic they were during the Heatwave making extra special effort to ensure that everyone besides myself was hydrated and comfortable inbetween the PhotoShoots. You're never rushed and everyone is so charming even all the other clients who evidently take a pride in coming.

If I could recommend a First Class Organisation that brings out everyone's USPs it is this one. Very encouraging to see men and women of all ages and locations travelling some considerable distances just to be a part of the House Of Glow Story. I very much and wholeheartedly can attest to a 10/10 Service for both Men & Women.

A special thank you must go to the individuals that made my experience a special day to remember for years to come:

Anastasia (Stacey), Emily, Cleo, Jeanette, Josephine, Brian, Gideon & Chantelle.

I have to say I was very skeptical on my way here after reading some of the 1 star reviews however that skepticism was melted away as soon as I walked through the door.

Every single member of staff was so welcoming and bubbly. After filling in my form I was offered my drink and quickly then to hair and make up. The artist did an AMAZING job with my look and hair (I’m always scared of my getting my hair done as I’m mixed). I felt absolutely incredible once done up and ready for the shoot.

Then the photo shoot itself! My god, the photographer was incredibly nice and empowering. The vibes were immaculate and allowed me to really feel confident and let loose! The pictures came out incredible and I would highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to feel sexy and powerful! Thank you all!!

Absolutely loved my day at Glow Up!
So empowering and they looked after me so much!
Such an amazing experience.

Great time! Felt comfortable throughout and it was such a lovely safe and empowering space. 1000/10 would recommend!

So on Friday 26th June I went to Glow Up Studio in Manchester for my first ever boudoir photoshoot. In the days leading up to this my anxiety took over and I kept telling my partner I didn't want to do it cause im so self conscious of my body (i have recently lost 3.5st but my skin didnt bounce back as quick). He kept telling me to just get there and see how I feel once in there and I agreed. However upon arrival my anxiety went through the roof and I won't lie I had a bit of a breakdown with it all amd came very close to walking out. Mandy came and spoke with me and informed me that I was actually the winner for June which meant that I got the full experience which also included all my photos. I was still unsure whether I actually wanted to go through with it but Mandy was so amazing, kind, and just had such a great vibe, she had me smiling within just a few minutes of speaking. She then took me on a little tour of the studio and before I knew it I was in the chair getting my hair and makeup done with the most delicious glass of wine (which really helped with the nerves). My photographer made me feel so comfortable and confident during the shoot itself. She knew exactly what poses to put me in and I had so much fun doing it, at no point feeling silly or weird or anything like that. After the shoot was done Mandy came and spoke to me and my partner again while we waited for editing to be done before we went to the viewing room and we had such a good laugh. I was really worried about how the photos would come out because I am really self critical and notice every flaw, but when I say I was amazed at how great the photos came out I mean I was truly amazed. The confidence I had when viewing was unbelievable and days later I still feel just as confident. My partner even said about going back for a couples photoshoot cause of how great the photos and just whole experience was. Im really looking forward to going back to Glow Up Studio Manchester, and working with Mandy and the team again. Thank you so much guys for giving me back my confidence. You have no idea what it means to me x

I woke up and was so nervous about the whole day I was thinking of ways to get out of it but all I can say is that I am so glad I did it!! What an amazing and empowering experience, from the moment I walked in I was made to feel at ease with the make up artist not only making me feel amazing but totally comfortable. Everyone was amazing and so complimentary they make you feel comfortable and really do make the experience amazing. Would highly recommend!!

I was made to feel comfortable once I got in and the hair and makeup lady was absolutely lovely! My photographer was also great, and make me feel way less insecure and helped me pose because I didn’t know how to. One thing that bothered me was the wait times, and the receptionist staff just disappearing randomly. I waited over 2 hours to even see the photos and there were no staff around. All round lovely experience in terms of the photos, but the staffing and wait times made them seem unco-ordinated and a bit rude.

Very friendly staff! Got an an appointment right away.

Had a super fun experience with amazing images at the end. The team are very collaborative and extrely supportive highly recommend this experience ror anyone x

I had an absolutely incredible experience today, the whole team was so supportive and welcoming from begging to the very end! I had so much fun and I’m honestly honoured to be the prize winner, thank you Chantelle for giving me this opportunity to put forward to my future in the modelling industry! ♥️

Showed up and waited , lady next to me said she’d been waiting 3 hours nearly so I asked how long and they said 3-4 hours experience, hair and make up didn’t look professional on others, asked for refund and said none refund

Felt absolutely fabulous during and for a long while after my shoot. They were amazing throughout and would love to come back again. Thank you so much!

A really fun experience. The make up / hair girls were amazing and the photographers really professional. Everyone was so friendly and relaxed and made me feel quite at home.

Everyone was very welcoming and bubbly, makeup and hair was amazing. Sue was very welcoming and helpful always asking if we need anything including drinks. Great experience and had a lovely time.

I have to say that Glow up studio are phenomenonal! They are amazing from start to finish, as a man going here, was not something I'm used to doing! But I was treated with love and care, everyone treats you as an individual and with the utmost care and respect, I HIGHLY recommend them, you won't regret it

The staff are the kindest group of women i have ever met , they are always smiling , super poilte , your biggest hype woman ever and makes you feel incredable . I would 1 million percent sign up as if you dont have much confidence you will from the first picture and i would do it all over again

Had the greatest time and experience my coordinator Mandy was amazing and made me feel at home from the second I got to the studio. I was offered Prosecco with top ups and everything. My make up artist was great and made me feel comfortable as make up isn’t something I was sure of before but it wasn’t to much it was just to enhance my features and she held incredible conversation. My photography was out of this world, she had loads of energy and directed the shoot perfectly. Well done Glow up studios

To say this was out of our comfort zone is an understatement.. however both my partner and I were made to feel at ease from the second we pulled up outside. From Mandy standing in the road to make sure we could park, to getting us settled and a drink in hand, she was amazing and friendly. The makeup artist were friendly and put us right at ease. Then the shoot itself, Asha commanded us with professionalism and poise. Her directions were great and we had no problems following instructions to create amazing pics. Then afterwards Jeanette was amazing and friendly and kept us updated as we waited to see the results, allowing us to relax and chat. Then Kaitlin helped us review our shoots and chose the ones we eventually decided on, im not sure who was more excited for the results us or Kaitlin, but her enthusiasm for the work was infectious. All in all a brilliant time was had.
Brett and Shane.
