OpenStreetMap, the main source
Most profiles come from OpenStreetMap, a free map of the world built and maintained by volunteers. OpenStreetMap data is available under the Open Database License (ODbL) 1.0. We follow its terms, credit its contributors on every directory page and make the data we derive from it available under the same license.

Which kinds of places we include
We select businesses by the tags volunteers attach to them on the map. We include places tagged as beauty businesses offering skin care, waxing, tanning or lash services, spas that offer treatments rather than only pools or saunas, and clinics or healthcare places with a cosmetic or dermatology speciality. Cosmetics shops appear only when they are also tagged with a service. Nail-only salons are left out, because they fall outside the treatments we cover.
The NPI Registry for medical practices
For medical practices, such as dermatology and plastic surgery offices that offer aesthetic treatments, we also use the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPI) Registry. It is public data published by the US government. We match a practice to a place by name and address, and we use the registry only to describe the practice's speciality, never to rank or judge it.
Sources we never use
We never take data from Google Maps, Yelp, review sites or any service whose terms forbid reuse. We never copy reviews, ratings, photos or prices from anywhere. If a profile shows a photo or a price, the clinic itself added it after claiming the profile.
- No listings copied from map apps or review sites
- No scraped reviews or star ratings
- No photos or prices taken from other websites
What an unclaimed profile shows
A profile built from open data carries the label "Unclaimed profile, details from open data". It shows only what the source contains, such as the business name, street address, city, state, ZIP code, location on the map, website, opening hours and treatment categories, when those are tagged. If a detail is missing at the source, it is missing on the profile too. We never fill gaps with guesses, so an unclaimed profile may be incomplete or out of date. You can still find a clinic near you and request an appointment from any profile.
How claiming a profile works
A business owner or manager claims a profile by proving ownership. We send a code to an email address on the clinic's own website domain, or the clinic places a code on its website. After that, the clinic edits its hours, treatment menu, photos and other details, and the "Unclaimed" label is removed. Read more on how to claim your clinic profile and see pricing for clinics and med spas.
Corrections and removal
Every unclaimed profile has a button to request a correction or removal. You confirm your email with a code, tell us what is wrong and we handle the request quickly. When a business asks to be removed, we add it to a suppression list, so it stays removed each time we refresh the data from the source.
Why some cities have pages and others do not
We publish a city or treatment page only where the dataset holds enough matching businesses to make the page useful. Thin pages stay unpublished until more data exists. If your city has no page yet, search the whole directory from the med spa near me page.
Fix OpenStreetMap itself
Because OpenStreetMap is open, anyone can improve it. If a business is missing, has moved or has the wrong hours, you can create an account at openstreetmap.org and edit the map directly. Your change helps every service that uses the map, and it reaches our directory the next time we refresh the data. Questions about the data are welcome at [email protected], and our security and data protection page explains how we handle requests.
