Glam N Glow; Taylor & Colt
Glam N Glow and Taylor & Colt are two beauty and grooming salon outlets – for women and men respectively – and are both owned by Trade Secrets, Canada’s beauty product retail chain leader. Doug Warren, director of franchising for the company, says the brands are ready for global growth, with expansion into the UK planned.
So, what are Glam N Glow and Taylor & Colt and what do they offer that isn’t already out there? Taylor & Colt ‘barberspa’ is a salon concept created in Canada to make the male grooming experience something to enjoy and remember; a one-stop- shop dedicated to creating an enjoyable, stress-free atmosphere. Services include straight razor shaves, hot-towel treatments, skincare, haircuts, wash and styles, manicures, pedicures, neck massages. It also features an espresso bar where customers can relax and read a complimentary newspaper, with a juice or coffee and use the complimentary laptops and iPads, or watch TV. Also, the very best male salon retail products are for sale in the store as well. The concept is an upscale service with a reasonable price – a modern old-style British barbershop with all the extras. The male grooming industry in the UK and Europe is worth billions and the Taylor & Colt business is positioned to capitalise on this growth.
