From Moms to Moguls: The Inspiring Story of How Glowexx Beauty Bar Became a Haven

What started as a playful tease has blossomed into a thriving business and a sanctuary for women seeking confidence, empowerment, and connection. Glowexx Beauty Bar isn’t just another beauty studio—it’s a testament to the power of dreams, determination, and a little bit of good-natured humor. Co-owners Mel and Jess have poured their hearts into creating a space where women of all backgrounds can prioritize themselves, one sculpting or lashing session at a time.

Here’s the inspiring story of how Glowexx Beauty Bar came to be and why it’s become a cherished haven for the women of Parkland County.

The “Exx” That Started It All

The journey to Glowexx began with a lighthearted joke. Jess and Mel were sitting with their father-in-law, who owns Homexx and Proexx, two successful local businesses. With a twinkle of mischief in their eyes, they teased him about starting their own company doing lashes and calling it “Lash Exx.”

“He told us that was silly,” Mel laughs, “but it planted a seed.”

That offhand comment got them thinking: What if there really was something there? The idea of building a business focused on beauty and self-care stuck with them. Little did they know, this playful moment would set the foundation for a business that would inspire and empower countless women.

From Lashes to Body Sculpting

At the time, Jess had recently experienced the transformative power of body sculpting. A friend had introduced her to it, and the results were incredible.

“I went down two pant sizes in a month,” Jess shares. “It was such a confidence booster, and I kept thinking how amazing it would be to help other women feel the same way.”

When Jess brought the idea to Mel, it resonated immediately. Both women shared a passion for helping others look and feel their best. While lashing was their initial focus, the idea of adding body sculpting to their services was exciting.

They began researching machines and equipment, and before long, the dream grew bigger. It wasn’t just about lashes or body sculpting anymore—it was about creating a space where women could feel comfortable, empowered, and cared for.

The Birth of Glowexx

The “Exx” joke stayed with them. They wanted a name that was memorable, meaningful, and, yes, a little cheeky to keep teasing their spouses and father-in-law. After brainstorming, Glowexx was born—a name that perfectly captured the vision of helping women glow from the inside out.

From that point on, Mel and Jess were all in. They invested in state-of-the-art equipment, secured a location, and began transforming their dream into a reality. With a focus on body sculpting and lash extensions, they started small but always kept their vision big.

“We wanted to create something special,” Mel explains. “Not just a business, but a place where women could feel seen, supported, and confident.”

Balancing Mom Life and Mogul Dreams

As moms, Mel and Jess knew the importance of finding balance.

Mel, a mom of three kids under seven, juggles the chaos of parenthood with the demands of running a business. “It’s a whirlwind,” she says. “But knowing we’re building something meaningful for ourselves and our community makes it all worth it.”

Jess, with a five-year-old at home, shares the sentiment. “Being a mom means you’re always giving, and Glowexx is a way for us to give back to ourselves and other women. It’s our passion project, but it’s also therapy for us.”

The conversations they share with clients often feel like a lifeline—not just for the women sitting in their chairs but for Jess and Mel too.

“We’re all in this together,” Jess says. “Whether we’re talking about mom life, self-care, or just sharing a laugh, it’s those connections that make what we do so rewarding.”
