GLAM Beauty Boutique, a hairdresser and beauty salon located at 1072 Montgomery Highway in Vestavia Hills, Alabama, has been named a “Best of Alabama 2025” award recipient by The Guide to Alabama!, a statewide publication that annually highlights locally owned businesses demonstrating consistent performance, professional standards, and community engagement.

The “Best of Alabama” designation is awarded through an editorial and research-driven process conducted by The Guide to Alabama!. Selection criteria include service reliability, professional credentials, longevity, consumer feedback, and overall contribution to the local economy. Businesses are evaluated across multiple categories to ensure recognition reflects sustained quality rather than short-term popularity.

“Our goal is to identify businesses that have established themselves as dependable resources within their communities,” a spokesperson for The Guide to Alabama! said. “GLAM Beauty Boutique stood out for its consistency, technical proficiency, and long-term presence in the regional hair and beauty industry.”

Founded in 2014, GLAM Beauty Boutique provides a comprehensive range of hair services for women and men. Core offerings include precision haircuts, color services such as highlights and balayage, corrective color work, Brazilian blowouts, hair treatments, and professional hair extension applications. Services are structured around individualized consultations, allowing stylists to align techniques with each client’s hair type, maintenance preferences, and styling objectives.

The salon serves clients from Vestavia Hills and the surrounding Birmingham metropolitan area, including Hoover, Homewood, and Mountain Brook. Its Montgomery Highway location offers convenient access for residents seeking professional salon services without traveling into downtown Birmingham.

GLAM Beauty Boutique is led by owner Shaun Thomas, whose career in the hair industry spans nearly two decades. Thomas specializes in advanced coloring methods, texture services, and classic cutting techniques, and has completed professional training with nationally recognized educators. Over the years, Thomas has also been featured in industry publications highlighting technical expertise and salon leadership.

“This recognition reflects the steady work our team has done over many years,” Thomas said. “Our focus has always been on providing thoughtful consultations, technical accuracy, and a professional experience clients can rely on.”

In addition to routine maintenance and color services, the salon is frequently sought out for corrective color work. Stylists collaborate closely with clients who are addressing previous damage or uneven results, developing gradual restoration plans that prioritize hair integrity while working toward desired outcomes. These services often involve multiple appointments and customized care recommendations.

GLAM Beauty Boutique also supports clients preparing for weddings, formal events, and professional milestones. Event services include styling consultations, smoothing treatments, and pre-event maintenance schedules designed to ensure consistency leading up to important dates. Group and individual appointments are available by request.

Continuing education is a central component of the salon’s operations. Stylists regularly participate in training focused on evolving color techniques, product formulation updates, and industry safety standards. This emphasis allows the team to adapt to changes in the haircare industry while maintaining consistent service delivery.

Beyond the salon floor, GLAM Beauty Boutique maintains an active role within the local business community. The company supports neighborhood events, collaborates with nearby businesses, and prioritizes sourcing professional-grade products that align with modern environmental and ethical standards. Product selections emphasize performance, ingredient transparency, and long-term hair health.

Looking ahead, GLAM Beauty Boutique plans to expand its internal education initiatives and continue refining service offerings based on client needs and industry developments. The company also intends to deepen its community involvement through partnerships and local engagement, while maintaining the operational standards that contributed to its statewide recognition.

The “Best of Alabama 2025” award marks nearly a decade of continuous operation for GLAM Beauty Boutique. The recognition reflects not only technical service delivery but also the salon’s sustained presence within a competitive industry and its role in serving clients across central Alabama.
