LocalGlowGuide began with a simple question: why is it so bloody hard to find a good hairdresser? You know the struggle—scrolling through endless reviews, decoding Instagram filters, and playing Russian roulette with your appearance. We've been there, and we decided to do something about it.
From the edgy salons of Collingwood to the beachside beauty spots of Bondi, from Perth's hidden day spas to Brisbane's best brow bars, we're mapping out Australia's beauty and wellness scene with the obsessive detail of someone who's had one too many bad haircuts. We're talking hairdressers, beauty salons, spas, skin clinics, nail bars, and those magical places that somehow do everything brilliantly.
What Makes Us Different
We're not here to tell you about the obvious places with the million-dollar fit-outs and celebrity clientele (though we'll cover those too if they're actually good). We're here for the suburban gems, the second-floor studios, the places where the therapist remembers your coffee order and that story about your ex. The spots that locals gatekeep because they don't want them getting too busy.
Every guide digs into what actually matters. Sure, they do great balayage, but do they run on time? Can they handle curly hair? Will they judge you for your Pinterest board? What's the vibe—chatty or blessed silence? We compile information about these details because we know they make the difference between a good experience and your new holy grail spot.
Our Approach
We research, compile, and share information about beauty and wellness spots across Australia. We dig into the details that matter—from opening hours and price ranges to specialties and standout features. Our guides aim to give you the context you need to make informed choices about where to book your next appointment.
"Great beauty spots aren't always the fanciest—they're the ones that make you feel like the best version of yourself."
Whether you're after a transformative haircut in Melbourne, the perfect facial in Sydney, or a relaxing massage in Adelaide, we're here to help you navigate the options. From budget-friendly student cuts to those special occasion splurges, from quick lunch-break treatments to full day spa escapes—if it makes Australians look and feel better, we're interested in sharing it.
