Unlimited beats credits. Every time.
Credit-based beauty memberships and per-visit discount clubs still charge you every visit. GlowGirl doesn't. Here's the honest comparison.

Credit-based memberships

Credits/mo

The category math
A credit membership at $129/mo giving 4 credits still means you pay ~$32 per credit before per-visit costs. A GlowGirl Classic member booking 8 gel manicures and 4 waxes in a month pays just $99. That's why we call GlowGirl the ClassPass moment for beauty: unlimited replaces per-visit.
