There are moments when it just doesn’t feel like we have enough time for things. With all of life’s “to-do lists”, perhaps work, kids, school, errands, appointments, getting workouts in, and other extracurricular activities, many will throw their hair up in a messy bun, dab on some lip gloss or mascara, and call it a day – if they even have time for that.

Imagine not having to think about putting on makeup but already having it on when you roll out of bed in the morning. At one point, the very idea of this would seem absolutely unthinkable, but with revolutionary advancements today, the impossible is real. The perfect brows every day, eyeliner that doesn’t smear in the rain or after a run, lip color that doesn’t fade or end up on a drinking glass…all easily within reach. 

The Glow Factory in Medway specializes in permanent makeup solutions that enhance the natural beauty of their clients. Their goal is to make life simpler, helping people to save time in their daily routines and boost their confidence as they go about their busy lives. 

Permanent makeup is a technique where cosmetic tattooing is done to enhance and define features using subtle color. For example, for someone who has thinning eyebrows due to age, alopecia or chemotherapy, matching color can be used to create fine hair-like lines and make the brows look fuller. Someone with pale-colored lips can have a boost of color and more defined lip border, making their mouth more noticeable.

Let’s not forget about the cost savings - especially now that beauty products are becoming increasingly expensive. The average American woman spends between $300 and $500 per year on makeup products alone. Investing in permanent makeup removes the need for constant replacement.

Jessie Dillon, The Glow Factory’s owner and lead artist, became a licensed cosmetologist in 2013 and worked for a big-box beauty retailer for several years, working with almost all the major beauty brands and managing the education of a large team of artists. In 2017, she pivoted back toward her passion for cosmetology and focused on learning how to do permanent makeup, earning multiple licenses, and going into business for herself. 

Invested in continuous learning for herself and the artists on her team, always staying on top of innovations in procedures and latest trends and holding to their commitment of the strictest safety standards, The Glow Factory has been enormously successful. They even won the 2024 MyFM Quest for the Best Award for permanent makeup.

“Permanent makeup benefits not only active people who want to simplify their routine but is also great for those who want to correct a symmetry issue, someone who has a difficult time applying makeup due to any number of reasons, or someone who may have skin allergies to certain kinds of makeup products. It can even help fill in some scarring in the brows or lip line,” shares Jessie. 

For those worried about any pain associated with their service, numbing products are used to greatly reduce discomfort, and many clients are surprised that it is more comfortable than they had expected.

In addition to offering permanent brows and eyeliner, ombre lip color and permanent freckles, The Glow Factory is also the only studio locally that offers what is called a “frozen lip” which creates a unique diamond like sparkle. They also provide microneedling, which helps to prevent and treat signs of aging, and some paramedical tattooing including radiation mark camouflaging (a free service to recolor the marks to look like natural freckles). They also offer areola re-pigmentation for clients who may have had a mastectomy or who have undergone gender-affirming surgeries, a service that some insurance companies will reimburse.

“We know that making the decision to have permanent makeup done is a big one, so we highly encourage anyone that is on the fence to come in for a $50 consultation (put toward the cost of a service once complete). These can be booked right on our website and can be done in-studio or virtually,” says Jessie.

“We are highly committed to listening to our clients and fully customizing their looks, being there for them throughout the healing process, and making sure the end results are perfect. We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee and a 6-week, interest free pay later option to make the decision even easier.”
