Coverage
Where we cover laser hair removal, and what "covered" means
Three markets are live, with every provider we could verify in each. Everywhere else is on the list and not yet published, because a page with no verified data is worse than no page.

What "covered" means here
A covered market has three things: every provider we could confirm exists, with a working phone number and an address; a spot check of the street address against the provider's own site; and a date on the page saying when it was checked. It does not yet mean prices, which are collected by phone and take longer.
How a market gets checked
Three passes, in this order. First, the provider list: every business that advertises laser hair removal in the metro is pulled, then each one is checked to confirm it still exists and still offers the service. Second, the contact details: the phone number is dialled and the address is compared against the provider's own site, because a listing that has moved is worse than no listing. Third, the rating and review count are captured from Google Maps on the day the page is published, with that date printed on the page so you can see how stale it is.
What that pass does not do is confirm quality. A verified phone number tells you the door is open. It does not tell you which device they run, whether the person holding it is licensed in that state, or what they charge. Those are the three questions worth asking on the call, and they are the three we are collecting now.
How often a market is re-checked
Quarterly, and immediately when someone reports a closed clinic or a dead number. Medspas open, close and rename more often than the directories in this niche reflect, which is why most of them carry listings for businesses that have been gone for a year. When we re-check a market the date at the top of the page changes; if a market has not been re-checked in six months, treat the contact details as a starting point rather than a fact.
What a directory can and cannot tell you
It can tell you who exists, roughly what other people thought of them, and where they are. It cannot tell you whether a particular device suits your skin tone, whether six sessions will be enough for your hair, or whether the technician is any good. Those answers come from a consultation and, honestly, from asking the same four questions at three clinics and comparing the answers. A directory that pretends otherwise is selling confidence it has not earned.
Why only three markets
Because the alternative is fifty pages of scraped names, and those pages exist already and are not very useful. Three markets with every provider verified is a smaller claim that happens to be true. The list grows as each new market clears the same checks, which takes about a day of work per metro rather than an afternoon of scraping.
Markets next in the queue
Richmond, Lexington, Madison, Birmingham, Huntsville, Des Moines, Albany, Fargo, Roanoke and Billings. Which one moves first depends on the waitlist: enter your ZIP on any page and the city with the most signups goes next.
If your city is not listed
It is not that there is nothing there. It is that we have not verified it. Join the waitlist with your ZIP and you will get one email when the market opens.
