Why these guides

Not a directory. A shortlist.

I spent years testing salons, clinics, spas and boutiques so you don't waste a day, or a dollar, of your trip. If it made a guide, it's because I'd book it myself.

Personally vetted

I don't list anywhere I wouldn't book myself. Polished and luxurious, or a cute hidden gem, every spot earned its place.

Reader-only perks at selected spots

Discounts and perks negotiated just for guide readers, from wellness trials to hair, clinic, fashion and nail offers. One or two can pay for the guide.

Zero guesswork

Price ranges, booking tips, opening hours and a Glow Up Google Map, so you know exactly where to go, what to ask for and what to expect.

What's inside

Seven categories, handpicked not crowdsourced.

From Korean aesthetic clinics and private hair suites to home-based nail artists and local fashion labels, these are places I rate for skill, quality and the way they make you feel.

Nails

Clean everyday sets, BIAB and Korean-inspired nail art, including talented home studios.

Lashes & brows

Natural lifts, lightweight extensions and embroidery that lasts in tropical humidity.

Hair & head spa

Korean head spas, private salon suites and stylists I'd trust with my hair.

Skin & clinics

Doctor-led Korean aesthetics and natural-looking results from clinics I trust.

Wellness spas

Postpartum recovery, bathhouse rituals and slow-wellness resets across the city.

Makeup

Local beauty brands and artists who know how to make it last through the heat.

Fashion & boutiques

Local labels for elevated basics, swimwear, jewellery and travel-ready pieces.

The Glow Up Map

Every spot pinned in one Google Map you can save and plan around.

Reader love

Meet your guide

Hey guys it's Tina here

I've spent 12+ years in beauty, sharing what actually works with 4.5M+ of you across YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. These guides are my little black books: the spots I've personally tried, loved and would book again, in the cities I know best.

I don't list anywhere I wouldn't book myself. Some places are polished and luxurious, some are hidden gems, and some are the kind you only hear about from a friend.

I've already done the trying, the testing and the few disasters, so you can skip the guesswork and go straight to the good places.

Good to know

Questions, answered

How do I get my guide after buying?

Instantly. Every guide is a digital product (PDF) delivered to your email right after checkout, so you can open it on your phone and start booking straight away.

Do the reader perks really cover the cost?

Many featured spots include reader-only perks negotiated just for Glow Up Guide readers. Depending on what you book, one or two perks could pay for the guide.

Is this for visitors or locals?

Both. Whether you're visiting, moving, or you already live in the city and just want a trusted list, the guides help you go straight to spots worth your time and money.

Do I get free updates?

Yes. As the cities change, the guides change. Buy once and you'll receive updated versions at the email you used at checkout, at no extra cost.

Are you paid by the salons and stores?

Some businesses offer reader perks or partner benefits, but placement is never guaranteed. Every recommendation is included because I genuinely think it's worth sharing. I don't list anywhere I wouldn't book myself.

Your glow-up, without the guesswork.

Tina-curated spots, reader perks and a Google map of the whole thing, ready the moment you check out.
