Glow's editorial team visits every business in person. We book under regular client names, pay normal pricing, and grade against a five-axis scorecard: practitioner skill, equipment or product, hygiene, results at week six, and pricing transparency. We re-test every 12 months. No business pays for placement.
The shortlist runs from #1 (Editor's Choice) through #20 — every place is a Glow-vetted operator we'd send a friend to. Use the category filter to find your next appointment fast.
