Keeping Mount Juliet Glowing

Glow Wilco Founders on Their Journey, Winter Skin Secrets, and Keeping Mount Juliet Glowing

For Shauna Bowers and Katie Jorge, co-owners of the thriving skincare haven Glow Wilco in Mount Juliet, glowing skin is more than a beauty trend—it’s a shared mission. These dynamic women have turned their passion for skincare into a vibrant business that radiates warmth and expertise. 

The Glow Wilco story began on the tennis court, where Shauna and Katie first met. “We had a few mutual friends, but once our paths crossed, it didn’t take too long to realize we shared some mutual goals and could be a great team,” says Shauna. Soon, their friendship turned into a business collaboration as they both envisioned creating a space that would help people look and feel their best.

Since launching Glow Wilco, Shauna and Katie have thrived as a duo. “The best part is getting to create something great while maintaining balance,” they explain. “We lean on each other to share the load so we can be there for our business and our families.” They’ve fostered an environment that feels like a community, not just for themselves but also for their clients and staff, who are all part of what they affectionately call the “Glow House.” Located in a charming, spacious white house, Glow Wilco has become a local destination for both beauty and relaxation. “Our dream was to have a place we wanted to be, right here in Mount Juliet. The Glow House and our amazing team have exceeded all our expectations,” the ladies say proudly.

As the seasons change, Shauna and Katie are busy helping clients adapt their skincare routines to the colder weather. They say summer bodies are made in the winter, and the same goes for glowing skin. The dry air, chilly winds, and indoor heating that come with winter can lead to increased dryness, dullness, and sensitivity. “One of our favorite winter tips is to make hydration a priority. Switch to a gentle cleanser, add an antioxidant serum, and keep up with your gentle retinol routine,” add the ladies. Hydration is especially critical in the winter, as skin loses moisture quickly due to both cold outdoor air and warm indoor heating.

One of Glow Wilco’s specialties during the colder months is laser treatments, a procedure that’s often easier to tolerate in winter when sun exposure is lower. “Laser season is the best part of winter by far!” the ladies add. “We see great results in the colder months, and it’s the perfect time to repair sun damage and build a strong foundation for glowing skin.” To keep lips protected, Shauna and Katie recommend an ultra-hydrating lip balm as part of any winter skincare regimen. “And don’t forget to drink plenty of water—hydration starts from within!”

Shauna and Katie take great pride in the sense of community they’ve built, not only among their team but with their clients as well. “We love having other strong providers to bounce ideas off of,” they share. “It really creates the best outcomes for our clients, and that’s what it’s all about.” Glow Wilco’s signature “Glow Pads” are a beloved offering that clients rave about, but Shauna and Katie say it’s the sense of confidence and camaraderie they cultivate that truly makes their space unique. It’s a place where everyone feels welcomed and leaves feeling more confident.

As December approaches, Shauna and Katie are ready to bring some holiday cheer to the Glow House. “We love a party and any reason to throw one!” They make it a point to gather and celebrate with their team, and December is no exception. “We want everyone looking and feeling great for all their festivities, so we go all out,” the ladies add. From holiday skincare prep to festive gatherings, Glow Wilco brings the holiday spirit to both their clients and team.

Looking forward, Shauna and Katie are excited about what the future holds. “We’re so happy to be here and grateful for the opportunity.” Glow Wilco’s success is a testament to the dedication and genuine care these women bring to their work. They’re not just in the business of skincare; they’re in the business of building confidence, creating community, and helping every person who walks through their doors feel like they’re part of the Glow Wilco family.
