What this byline means

This institutional byline identifies the Salon Guide desk that organized the resource. It is not an individual or a claim of professional credentials. AI-assisted drafting may support organization and first drafts, but factual claims and publication decisions require human verification.

Editorial commitments

No fabricated statistics, reviews, owner quotations, resource counts, or expertise. Substantive updates change the visible review date and belong in the revision history.
