Our standards
How Hawaiʻi Aesthetics Guide builds listings, what our marks mean, and how to correct a listing.
Editorial standards from a nurse
Every guide on this site is written to standards set by our nurse editor, a registered nurse with emergency-department experience. Listings start from public information. A practice earns a Verified mark only after we confirm its licensing and supervising clinician.
Where listings come from
Every basic listing starts from publicly available information, such as the practice's own website and public business directories. Each listing links to its public source. We don't publish ratings or reviews we haven't collected ourselves.
What our marks mean
- Unclaimed: compiled from public information. Not reviewed.
- Claimed: the business has confirmed and updated its own details.
- Verified: we've completed our review of licensing and the responsible clinician.
- Featured: a paid placement. Always labeled.
Paid placement
Paid placement changes where a listing appears, never what we write about it. Featured listings are labeled, and the review marks cannot be bought alone.
How inquiries work
When you send a request through Hawaiʻi Aesthetics Guide, it goes only to the practice you name on the form. We never sell lists, and we don't share your details with anyone you didn't choose. Practices pay a flat fee for placement, never a fee based on whether you book a treatment. Read our Privacy Policy.
Corrections and removal
If a detail is wrong, or you'd like your business removed, use the form on our listing page and choose "Just claim my free listing," then describe the change. We act on requests within five business days.
