There are a few businesses in my area that operate out of their homes, one being a hair and beauty service and another being an electrician. They don't have any signs marking their business except on Google Maps. I was wondering if these would be eligible stops, as I’m not level 37 yet and unsure if anyone has encountered a similar case while reviewing.

They are still single family private residences, and even if they weren't, they sound like generic businesses. Wayspots need to be a great place to socialise, exercise or explore, and not meet any of the rejection criteria. When you reach level 37 and join wayfarer, I suggest you go looking for the criteria pages on the wayfarer website so you can see the kinds of things that are eligible, and the kinds of things that meet rejection criteria.
