Glow Up Kids Arvostelua 

I visited Glow Up Kids with my daughter, and it turned out to be one of the most amazing experiences we’ve had together. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was so welcoming, positive, and full of energy.
What really stood out was the impact it had on my daughter. She left feeling more confident, happy, and proud of herself than I’ve ever seen before. The whole experience is designed in such a thoughtful way that it genuinely boosts self-esteem while still being fun and engaging.
Seeing her come out of her shell, smile more, and truly enjoy expressing herself was so special as a parent. The team clearly care about what they do, and it shows in every detail.
I can honestly say it gave her the best confidence boost ever, and that’s something that will stay with her. I would highly recommend Glow Up Kids to any parent looking to give their child a positive, uplifting experience.

I took my 2 children to glow up kids and it was amazing! They loved having their hair and makeup done and the makeup artist was so friendly. The receptionist Olivia was wonderful getting me andy children drinks and snacks and making sure we knew exactly what was happening on the day. The photographer was also lovely making my children have the best time. The images were amazing and definitely worth the long travel. I would definitely recommend glow up kids if you want your children to have a photoshoot.

What a fabulous experience for my little girl. She absolutely loved being the centre of attention.

We arrived early to our appointment and were promptly greeted by the receptionist Olivia. She interacted well with her & made us all feel very comfortable.

The shoot was fantastic & the images even better. I would definitely recommend X x

Amazing!!

Brought my daughter for a photoshoot, she absolutely loved it at glow up kids. All staff was amazing from start to finish she absolutely loved the makeover and performing on the runway. She’s now pestering me to get into Modeling which I love because it’s given her a boost of confidence. I would highly recommend this place. The cherry on top was the beautiful Images. 10/10

Kids glow up was amazing .all staff was so friendly. Made my kids feel comfortable. They really enjoyed the atmosphere. Would recommend to anyone to a wonderful photo shoot

My two children had the most amazing time at Glow Up Kids. We arrived and we were greeted with refreshments, my two daughters love to dress up and play with makeup so their mini makeovers were a fantastic part of the experience for them. Both had their hair curled, nails painted and little bit of blush and lip gloss, nothing too overwhelming so they still looked like kids. The photo shoot it self, I couldn’t fault, the photographer was fantastic with both of my girls, and very patient between each outfit change as they couldn’t decide what to wear after bringing a suitcase full.

The studio itself is amazing, a mini light up runway for the kids, Barbie box and lots of props to use like sunglasses, furry coats and tiaras. We waited about an hour after the shoot to view the images so to view them on the same day was also amazing. They turned out faultless and packages are priced quite reasonable compared to other places I’ve been too, starting from around £300 paid monthly too if you wanted too.

I would definitely recommend Glow Up Kids to anyone with young daughters, I’ve already booked in my family shoot for the Summer, can’t wait x

I am writing this review after several weeks of trying to resolve a complaint directly with Glow Up kids.

We attended a photoshoot that was advertised as a “free empowerment experience.” This was a key factor in attending, as my daughter is 14, has autism and significant mental health difficulties, and we believed this would be a supportive and confidence-building experience.

When we arrived, we were made to wait for over an hour and were told we could either wait or leave and come back later. This created a difficult start to the appointment.

The viewing session was then rushed, and I was expected to review and make decisions on images quickly before leaving. I did not have the opportunity to properly assess the images at the time, particularly as I was doing so in front of my daughter.

During the appointment, I was made to feel uncomfortable by comments from a staff member, including being described as “sexy” in front of my 14-year-old child. I found this inappropriate.

There were also occasions where comments were directed toward my daughter during discussions about packages, which made the situation feel uncomfortable given her vulnerabilities.

When I later received the images, I was not satisfied with them. In my view, they were overly edited and not suitable for the purpose that had been described. I raised this the following day and clearly stated that I did not wish to proceed with the portfolio or continue with the purchase.

Despite this, I was contacted about progressing the portfolio and asked to confirm image selections, which I had already declined. I also requested a clear breakdown of what the £1,500 package represented and clarification of what was meant by “full copyright,” but this has not been properly explained.

I made repeated attempts to resolve this matter, including explaining the impact this situation was having on my family, particularly my mother who is unwell. Despite this, there were prolonged periods where my correspondence was not responded to.

I am also concerned that Glow Up Kids have publicly suggested this was a completely separate business, yet Glow Up Kids is named on the finance documentation connected to this transaction. As a customer, there was no clear distinction made at the point of booking, attendance, or payment that I was dealing with an entirely separate entity under different terms.

I have retained copies of all emails and messages relating to this matter, including instances where concerns were raised and not addressed.

As a result, I am now pursuing this matter through formal channels.

I would advise others to ensure they fully understand what is included in any package and to take time to properly review all images before agreeing to any purchase.

Response to glow up

For clarity, the appointment was arranged following contact and advertising linked to the Glow Up brand, and there was no clear distinction made at the point of booking that the experience would be with a separate entity operating under different terms or an adult-only service.

The photoshoot and viewing both took place within the same premises, where adult shoots were also being carried out at the time. At no stage was it explained that this was an adult-only environment or that the experience would involve content or language not appropriate in the presence of a minor. My daughter’s presence was known throughout the appointment. The lady who was doing my daughter’s hair and makeup would have known this was inappropriate as she was aware of her age. So yes as I’ve said, it was inappropriate. When she was trying to talk me into a boudoir shoot repeatedly, calling me sexy, my daughter was sat next to me. So yes, she was aware of her age.

If separate businesses are operating under the same brand and within the same location, then clear and transparent communication at the point of booking would be expected, particularly where safeguarding considerations are involved.

My review reflects my experience of the booking process, the appointment itself, and the subsequent handling of my complaint, which remains unresolved.

My daughter had a fabulous photo shoot. All the ladies made us feel welcome and comfortable. Definitely the boost my daughter needed.

I went down to glow up kids for a competition for my son and it was great from start to end. They are very welcoming and accommodating to your needs.
We had a great experience taking the pictures and seeing the images after. My son is now a lot more confident in front of the camera and can continue is modelling journey. Thanks to glow up kids
The staff are extremely nice and not forceful at all. I would attend again in the future and good luck for all the kids in the comp.

Fantastic experience with my autistic daughter. They made it enjoyable for her communication was brilliant would highly recommend for photos will definitely be coming back

Wow!
We have just had the most wonderful experience at my 7 year olds photo shoot.

All the staff were really lovely and made my daughter feel completely at ease.
The photographer was so patient and encouraging and really got the best out of the shots in such a gentle way.
I highly recommend this place for some beautiful shots of your children, by a talented photographer. I am beyond grateful for this experience and will definitely be back

I won a competition for a shoot for my little girl. It was wonderful, the studio is beautiful with its own dedicated kids shoot studio. From start to finish my little girl was made to feel comfortable and she was excited, huge thanks to the photographer who was really kind and helped her every step of the way. I would definitely recommend, for professional pics or fun for kids!

My Daughter enjoyed her first photoshoot. Great support with outfit choices, make up artist was lovely with her. My Daughter was very relaxed and was able to be her bubbly self with the photographer. Great experience!

My son and daughter won the main prize winners for Glow Up Kids January 2026. They attended the VIP photoshoot experience at the studio in Manchester. The communication leading up to the event was amazing; confirmation texts and phone calls ensured all key questions were answered in preparation for the big day.
On arrival we were greeted by lovely staff including Olivia. As parents we were offered Prosecco and the children had bottled water or a fizzy drink. The waiting lounge was catered nicely for the children including a huge tv and a huge basket of toys. The room was nice and warm suitable for the children. We didn’t have to wait long before we were taken into the main studio. The hair and make up artist was so gentle with the children and made sure that she checked in with us regularly to keep the children feeling safe and happy.
The photographer was amazing, she was so patient with the children and took so many empowering shots. She embraced my daughter’s styles and captured some of the moves that my daughter insisted on doing.
We didn’t have to wait too long before we were able to view our photographs. We were blown away by the beautiful moments captured by the photographer. Chantelle spent time going through the images with us and shared her knowledge about modelling and bookings which we really appreciated. Overall an absolute amazing experience for all the family and I’d highly recommend this experience.

Great interaction with my daughter

Wow what can I say, my daughter has loved every minute. All staff were professional and amazing at what they do. They made us all feel relaxed and welcomed.

We have been to glow up kids today, the ladies made my kids feel so welcome! The photo shoots were very professional and got the children very excited!
Thank you so much for today, the overall experience was fantastic!🩷

What an amazing concept!
The studio is stunning and team were amazing. My little girl had the best day from start to finish and her images are incredible!
We traveled all the way from Oxfordshire and it was so worth it.
Thank you to everyone at Glow Up Kids for a day my little girl will not forget. Highly recommend and such a confidence boost for anyone’s children❤️

Made my little girl feel super comfortable, and made her personality shine and let her do what she felt comfortable with.

Lovely experience so welcoming! Nothing was too much for them would highly recommend!
