BB Glow in Shortlands, Bromley
We carry out BB Glow at our Forest Hill salon, 3.2 miles from Shortlands, after a patch test. It suits most skin tones, and we will tell you honestly at consultation if it is not right for you.
BB Glow uses microneedling to infuse a tinted, skin-matched serum just below the surface, giving a soft, foundation-like finish that lasts for weeks. Clients from Shortlands love it for evening out tone, softening redness and reducing the time they spend on make-up every morning.

BB Glow in Shortlands — FAQs
How long does BB Glow last?
A single session lasts a few weeks; after a course of three the result can last several months, gradually fading as your skin renews.
How far is the salon from Shortlands?
About 3.2 miles — about 20 minutes by car. We are on Devonshire Road in Forest Hill, SE23, a few minutes' walk from Forest Hill station, which has direct trains from Shortlands. Appointments are by booking only, so there is never a wait when you arrive.
Does BB Glow replace foundation?
For many people it replaces everyday foundation and evens the tone enough that they only use make-up for events. It is a soft, natural coverage rather than full coverage.
Do you do home visits in Shortlands?
Yes, for many of our treatments — spray tanning, massage, waxing, lashes, manicures and pedicures and more. Travel to Shortlands is £10. Treatments that need the salon environment, such as microneedling, peels and injections, are salon-only.
Does it work on darker skin tones?
Yes. The serums come in a range of shades and we match them to your skin at consultation.
Do you cover all of BR2?
Yes — every part of BR2, and the neighbouring areas of Bromley, Beckenham, Downham and Bickley. For home visits the travel fee is the same across the whole area.
Is there downtime?
Minimal. Your skin may be pink for a day. Avoid make-up, sweating and sun for 24 to 48 hours.
