Glow Up: How a Boutique Salon Found Its New Home in Narrabeen
When Glow Beauty Space expanded from the Central Coast to Sydney’s Northern Beaches, the team knew exactly what they were looking for: a location that felt calm, refined and community-minded — a place where clients could walk in, take a deep breath, and even unwind with a cheeky late afternoon drink.

“Our high-end salon is built around personalised care and individualised service, creating a peaceful escape from daily life.”
Glow had already built a strong reputation for its personalised approach to beauty and wellness. With a winning combination of high-end hairdressing, expert skin treatments, manicures, brow and lash services, Glow had become a trusted destination for clients wanting great results and thoughtful care in one experience.
But according to Leilani, Glow’s Front of House Manager, it’s not just about the services. “We believe in nurturing both inner and outer beauty, which is why we go beyond just treatments,” she says. “Our high-end salon is built around personalised care and individualised service, creating a peaceful escape from daily life.”
That experience is a core part of the Glow philosophy. From soothing facials to expert lash extensions, everything is designed to feel calming. Clients are welcomed with refreshments — wine, sparkling water, sometimes a grazing board — and are guided through their appointments by a team of highly trained professionals who find genuine joy in what they do.
When the time came to expand, the Northern Beaches felt like a natural fit. The area’s mix of relaxed coastal energy and elevated lifestyle aligned perfectly with what Glow offers.
“The North Agency helped us find a space that supported our business and reflected our values. Their professionalism made the whole process simple.”
Finding the right space, however, was just as important as choosing the right suburb. That’s where The North Agency came in. With deep knowledge of the area and a hands-on approach to commercial leasing, the TNA team helped Glow identify and secure a property that felt like a true extension of their brand.
“Leasing with The North Agency was smooth from the very beginning,” Leilani explains. “They really took the time to understand what we were looking for. They weren’t just trying to fill a space. They wanted to help us find a space that would support our business and reflect our values. Their professionalism made the whole process simple.”
Glow’s new salon in Narrabeen now welcomes a mix of locals and visitors. Some stop in for a quick refresh while on holiday, while others are regulars who treat the salon as a trusted part of their weekly or monthly routine. The space is light-filled, modern and softly styled, reflecting the balance Glow strikes between professionalism and warmth.
And while the services are high-end, the vibe is never intimidating.
“We’ve worked really hard to make it feel inviting,” says Leilani. “There’s no ego. It’s just about creating a beautiful environment where people feel comfortable and walk out feeling their best.”
“Glow isn’t just about the results you can see. It’s also about how you feel — confident, refreshed, and cared for.”
The name ‘Glow’ captures that idea perfectly.
“For us, it’s about helping people feel like the best version of themselves,” she adds. “Glow isn’t just about the results you can see. It’s also about how you feel — confident, refreshed, and cared for. That’s what we want people to walk away with.”
Working with The North Agency allowed the Glow team to focus on what they do best, without getting caught up in the stress of site negotiations or setup hurdles. That support made all the difference.
“The team at The North Agency really understood our vision and helped bring it to life,” Leilani says. “We’re incredibly grateful for the partnership and proud of the space we’ve created together.”
Glow Beauty Space is now firmly part of the Northern Beaches business landscape. And for anyone looking for an elevated yet grounded beauty experience, it’s already making a lasting impression.
