90-second diagnostic 14 concerns mapped 10 cities covered 0 paid placements
The method

Five steps. Real recommendations.

Glow Studio is built on the same editorial standards as Glow Guide. The diagnostic asks about your concerns, your goals, your context, and your investment level. The output is a phased treatment plan with three editor-vetted salons per treatment, product recommendations from Glow's verified-review database, and an honest cost range.

No accounts. No newsletter wall. Save your plan as a URL, email it to yourself, share it with a friend. The plan is yours.

What it covers

Every category Glow reviews.

  • Skin: pigmentation, acne, fine lines, dullness, redness, texture
  • Hair: colour, damage, thinning, dullness
  • Brows + lashes
  • Tanning + body
  • Injectables (consultation framing only — never specific treatments)
  • Wellness + supplements
Step 1 of 5 · The diagnostic

What would you like to address?

Pick up to 5 concerns. We'll prioritise them in your plan in order of selection.

Step 2 of 5 · The intensity

How dramatic do you want the change?

This shapes whether we recommend maintenance or transformation treatments.

Quiet — maintenance + glow
Subtle, ongoing. The everyday upgrade. Best for clients with already-good skin who want to compound improvements.
Considered — visible change
Real visible change in 8-12 weeks. Mid-budget, mid-commitment. Glow's most-popular tier.
Transformation — significant before/after
A 4-6 month commitment. Multi-treatment plan. Premium spend. The serious reset.
Step 3 of 5 · The context

Tell us about you.

Quick context so we match treatments and salons to your situation, not a generic profile.

Step 4 of 5 · The investment

What's your investment level?

We'll match clinics and treatments to your budget. No upsells. Glow doesn't sell editorial placement.

Under $200 per treatment. Pharmacy-grade products, mass-market chains. Effective if used consistently.

Frequently asked

Common questions.

Is Glow Studio a medical service?

No. Glow Studio provides editorial recommendations based on user-supplied information. We are not a medical service. Always consult a qualified practitioner before booking treatments. Results vary by individual.

Why don't you ask me to upload a photo?

We're starting with concerns rather than photos. Photo-based diagnostic adds privacy complexity (where is the photo stored? who sees it?) and isn't necessary for accurate plan generation. Phase 2 of Glow Studio will add an optional AR preview for users who want to see treatment outcomes — entirely processed in your browser, never sent to a server.

Are the salon recommendations independent?

Yes. Every salon in your plan is pulled from Glow Guide's editorial rankings. We don't sell editorial position. Some bookings may earn Glow a referral commission, which we disclose. The ranking decision is editorial.

How accurate are the price ranges?

Our pricing data is updated quarterly across all 10 cities Glow covers. Ranges reflect current market pricing across budget, mid, and premium tiers. Individual clinics may vary — always confirm directly with the salon.

Can I save my plan?

Yes. The "Save plan" button generates a URL that retrieves your exact plan. Bookmark it or email it to yourself. Phase 2 will add accounts with saved plan history for users who want it.

What about injectables, lip filler, anti-wrinkle?

Glow Studio frames injectables as "book a doctor-led consultation" only. We never recommend specific procedures, doses, or off-label treatments. For injectables specifically, your plan will include a list of doctor-led clinics in your city to consult with.
