Our Story

Born from a Passion for Beauty

GlowUp Studio was founded in 2015 by Ananya Rao, a certified makeup artist and beauty educator who dreamed of creating a space where every woman felt truly beautiful — not just on the outside, but from within.

What started as a small studio with two chairs has grown into Bangalore's most trusted premium beauty destination, with a team of 15+ specialists and over 2,500 happy clients. From everyday haircuts to elaborate bridal transformations, we pour our hearts into every appointment.

At GlowUp Studio, we believe beauty is personal. We listen before we create. We educate alongside every treatment. And we never stop learning — because beauty keeps evolving, and so do we.
