The glam bar leeds ltd ★10

About the salon

The Glam Bar works less like a single salon and more like a house shared by several beauty specialists. Rather than one team covering everything, individual practitioners hold their own diaries and client lists under the Glam Bar name on Barras Street, west of the city centre. The practical effect is that each treatment is done by someone who does that treatment all day.

Services

Between the resident specialists the venue covers most of the beauty spectrum.

• Lash extensions, infills, lash lifts and LVL
• HD Brows and brow lamination
• Facials and skin treatments
• Nails, including manicures and pedicures
• Makeup, including bridal and occasion makeup
• Hair styling, updos and bridal hair
• Tanning and laser treatments

Technology and brands

Laser hair removal is handled by trained technicians, which is worth noting because it is a machine-led treatment that depends more on the operator’s assessment of skin and hair type than on the device itself. On lashes, the specialists work across several styles rather than one house look, including the lighter Korean lash lift methods alongside conventional extensions and infills.

Team and stylists

Clients name individual specialists rather than the salon as a whole, which tells you how the place works. Lash and bridal hair work is done by Kristen, and skin, brows and LVL by Sophie under her Skin Glow name; body contouring runs as its own practice at the same address. You book the person, not the shop.

The Space

The Glam Bar sits outside the city centre, which gives it something a central salon cannot: parking. Clients consistently describe the atmosphere as relaxed and unhurried rather than production-line, and a complimentary coffee is part of the routine.

Who it’s for

It suits people who drive rather than take the train in, brides and wedding parties wanting hair, makeup and lashes from specialists who work together.

Questions and answers

Can I book online? Yes, the specialists take online bookings through their own booking pages, so pick the practitioner whose treatment you want.

How long does an appointment take? A lash lift takes about an hour, a full set of extensions closer to two, infills less, and bridal hair or makeup is usually booked as a longer slot.

Do you look after men? Yes, brow work, tanning and laser treatments are carried out for men as well as women.

Can I combine several treatments in one visit? Yes, though because different specialists work different days it is worth arranging both appointments in advance so they fall together.

Do you sell gift vouchers? Yes, vouchers are available; check with the individual specialist, since each runs their own bookings.
