The Problem
Why new clients struggle to choose a salon

- ✕Outdated listings show wrong hours, old addresses, or stylists who left months ago.
- ✕No way to tell if the salon matches their hair type, style, or budget.

- ✓Clients see your current team, specialties, and services before they book.
- ✓Your location, hours, and booking details are accurate everywhere.
- ✓AI assistants recommend you based on verified salon details, not ad rank.
