How to Research
- Use Google Maps, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Yelp, and booking platforms (Vagaro, GlossGenius, StyleSeat, Fresha, Square Appointments).
- Confirm they actually offer acrylics (terms: liquid & powder, hard-set acrylic, pink & white, sculpted).
- Record exact prices and policy text. If pricing is tiered by length or shape, capture the range and what triggers upcharges.
- Save 2+ screenshots per provider (services/prices + booking/policies). Name files clearly (e.g.,
SalonA_services.png,SalonA_booking.png). - Stay professional—no copying proprietary images or text into your own marketing.
