Glam & Glow Beauty Bar Brings High-End Salon Experience to Rainbow Row Bellefontaine

October 28, 2025 – Downtown Bellefontaine has welcomed a new addition to its growing beauty and wellness scene. Glam & Glow Beauty Bar, owned by local entrepreneur and licensed cosmetologist Yaxaira Hisey, opened Saturday at 118 W. Chillicothe Ave. in Rainbow Row Bellefontaine. The new salon joins a dynamic collection of locally owned businesses in Rainbow Row, including Wild Mushroom Tattoos, Proof. Pop-Up Shop, and The Craft Emporium and Pub.

The full-service beauty bar offers a complete range of professional salon services, including haircuts, coloring, styling, nail care, makeup artistry, spray tanning, and facial waxing. The space has been designed to provide clients with a high-end, relaxing atmosphere where beauty and wellness come together.

“The inspiration behind starting Glam & Glow comes from a lifelong passion for the beauty industry and the desire to create a space where clients feel confident, refreshed, and at their best,” said Yaxaira Hisey, owner of Glam & Glow Beauty Bar. “It has always been my dream to establish a salon that not only delivers exceptional services but also enhances the overall client experience.”

Glam & Glow Beauty Bar aims to set itself apart through a combination of luxury and personalization. The salon’s team will prioritize client-focused care, offering tailored services that make every visit feel like a true retreat. In addition to in-salon services, the business will also feature a curated retail area with salon-quality products for hair, nail, and skincare maintenance at home.

“Downtown Bellefontaine continues to grow as a destination for high-quality, locally owned service businesses,” said Keyne Strickland, Leasing and Property Manager for Small Nation. “Glam & Glow Beauty Bar brings a modern, upscale touch to our beauty and wellness mix, and Yaxaira’s vision perfectly complements the momentum we’re seeing in this area.”

Beyond everyday services, Glam & Glow plans to host community-oriented events such as beauty workshops, bridal showcases, and client appreciation nights. The salon also intends to collaborate with other local businesses, wedding planners, and photographers to create exclusive experiences and packages for clients.
