A couple months ago, I emceed Westword’s Artopia fashion show White Out and to be honest, I really don’t know how to do my own makeup. I asked my friend Heather, editor of the Denver Style Magazine if she could recommend anybody that could help a sister out and without any hesitation she told me all about the amazing Lyndsay Wilson, owner of Glamour Bar. I immediately called them to get an appointment to get beautified for the fashion show.
My experience was absolutely amazing! When I walked in, I was in love with the vibe of the place. The front of the space had some clothing and accessories to peruse through and do a little shopping. And right away, you are offered a delicious beverage with Stella on tap.
I had such a fun time going from station to station getting my nails, hair, and them makeup done. The team was absolutely fabulous and made me feel like a princess! Thank you Glamour Bar!!!
I knew right away that I wanted to learn more about Lyndsay and hear the background behind this business! Read our interview with Lyndsay Wilson! There is a special discount at the bottom for all of our Fashion Denver friends!
1) What was your first memory as a child where you felt glamorous?
The first memory that keeps coming to mind is when I got a lace parasol from a family vacation in Mississippi and I used it everywhere. I guess I knew at a young age that the right accessory can make the girl!
2) Have you always been into beauty?
Ever since I was little I have been interested in beauty and fashion. I was a psychology major in college when I decided to leave and pursue cosmetology school, after graduating in 2004 I have done a little bit of everything from hair, makeup, salon furnishings (remodeling salons) and right before opening glamour bar I managed a plastic surgery center. I have seen just about every aspect and am always wanting to learn more!
3) Why did you start Glamour Bar?
I wanted to create an ultimate house of beauty, so you could walk in the door and know that you were getting the best of the best. You didn’t have to drive around to five different places to get nails, hair, spray tan, etc.
4) Who are some of the people that visit Glamour Bar
We do a lot of weddings, birthday and bachlorette parties, travelers and also have a steady set of regulars that come in weekly to get their hair done.
5) What services do you provide?
Hair services, manicures, pedicures, eyelash extensions, makeup application, custom lip bar, and spray tanning.
6) What inspires the decor of Glamour Bar?
I wanted to create a luxurious, but comfortable environment that was very clean looking.
7) How do you select your team that you work with?
I have learned how important it is to be selective when it comes to the people you surround yourself with. I really look and have a lot of passionate people that love what they do and their clients. Its important to have people that believe and are excited about the business and brand you are building.
8) What are some of your future goals with Glamour Bar?
We are looking to really start giving back. We have talked with a couple charities and have a couple of ideas for campaigns that are dear to our heart at Glamour Bar. Of course we want to expand and be in every neighborhood in Colorado, but we are loving watching our first location grow.
9) Do you have any favorite types of people that come into Glamour Bar?
We love every client that comes in GB, but I would have to say our regular clients that we really get to create a relationship with are definitely at the top of the list.
10) 3 things if stranded on an island?
A stationary kit, Sunglasses and Lip Balm
