Archive note — updated October 2026: This 2019 post is a look back at my visit to The Glow Up Bar in Temecula, which has since closed. Services and prices below reflect that visit. Booking links, opening hours and the expired promotion have been removed; the original story and photos are preserved.
It's no secret that I have a love affair with hair! As a former stylist, I know the value that a good blow dry can bring to a mama, especially with the mane I have, that's why I was so excited to hear my town was finally getting a blow dry bar!
The Glow Up Bar just celebrated its grand opening, and this mama got the VIP treatment with a behind-the-scenes tour of this new Temecula hair hot spot.
At the time of my visit, The Glow Up Bar offered a full menu of amazing blowouts starting at just $45 with fun names like the "girl next door" which is straight with a little body and the "movie star" which features soft waves or my personal fave style the "surfer girl" which has effortlessly soft beachy waves that any Cali Mama would love. They also offered a monthly membership for the hair-obsessed mamas like me starting at $80 which includes discounts on professional products like Living Proof and Unite (two of my personal faves) and membership perks towards special and extra blowouts.
Professional products for all hair types
From Living Proof, Unite, Olaplex, T3 and The Sivan Collection, they have you covered with the best salon products for all hair types.
The Glow Up Bar opened at the Temecula Promenade Mall in 2019. This post captures my visit during that opening season.
