High Pro Glow

Glow Salon

Once upon a time, Christine Chin was this town’s esthetician of choice.

But she flew the coop. Flat out disappeared. Like, gone. And clients from Gisele to Winona (oh, so sorry. . . were we name dropping again?) were left asking: Where’s Christine?

Slacking? Oh never. Gone to work for some big swank salon? Heaven forbid. Christine’s been busy opening a salon of her own, Glow. Located on the corner of Rivington and Orchard Streets, her new digs look like your basic nail shop, but don’t be fooled: Inside one of the most talented salon doyennes reigns supreme. Her honey-ginseng facials rock, and her eyebrow trims, which are sold in batches of six, are the talk of the city. Be warned though, she has no tolerance for all you at-home pickers and tweezers. She’s a dominatrix when it comes to her art. “Look at how much you’ve tweezed on just one side! I can do nothing with this!”

Well, almost nothing.

Glow, 79 Rivington Street at Orchard Street (212-353-0501).
