We Got Burned.
So You Don't Have To.
Beauty Clinic PH was born out of frustration. A botched facial, a misleading price list, and a useless review page later — we decided to build what we actually needed.
A Decision Tool, Not a Booking Tool
Most beauty platforms in the Philippines want to be your middleman. They make money when you book — which means they have every incentive to recommend who pays them, not who's best.
We don't do that. We don't take commissions. We don't accept paid placements. We don't partner with any salon, clinic, or spa we rank. Our only job is to give you honest, data-backed information so you can make the right choice.
Our target users are the expat communities of BGC, Makati, and Ortigas — people who have high standards, limited local knowledge, and no patience for wasted money.
How We Calculate Trust Scores
Our Trust Score is a weighted composite of four independent data streams. It's updated weekly. No score is permanent.
Review Analysis
35%We parse thousands of reviews from Google, Naver, and expat forums — filtering out fake reviews and identifying patterns in complaints.
Price Accuracy
25%We compare posted prices against what customers actually paid. Hidden fees, upsells, and bait-and-switch tactics lower scores significantly.
Failure Rate
25%We track documented cases of botched services, cancelled appointments, allergic reactions, and hygiene complaints over a 6-month window.
Community Reports
15%Verified submissions from our community of expat users in BGC, Makati, and Ortigas add real-time, on-the-ground intelligence.
Score Key
Safe Choice
Consistent quality, transparent pricing, low complaint rate
Proceed Carefully
Good on average but some inconsistency — ask questions first
High Risk
Documented issues with pricing, quality, or safety — avoid
