Confirmed errors are corrected at the claim level while preserving the source, scope and reason for the change.
What qualifies
Incorrect amounts, expired promotions, wrong billing cadence, broken source links and overbroad location claims qualify for review.
Evidence required
A correction should include the page URL, exact disputed text, official evidence and a checked date.
How changes are made
The affected table, paragraph, FAQ, schema and internal references are updated together.
What is not silently changed
A local example is not replaced with an unsupported nationwide figure merely because another location displays a different amount.
Practical guide to submitting source evidence
A correction request should show why the current claim is wrong at its stated scope. A price from another city may demonstrate variation, but it does not automatically invalidate a correctly labeled local observation.
For evidence rules and numeric handling, read the Salon Price Research Methodology and Editorial Policy.
Keep a decision record
After confirmation, every affected surface is reviewed: visible copy, tables, FAQs, structured data, internal anchors, source notes and any calculation built from the changed amount.
- Exact page and provider or brand
- Service, plan or policy name
- Location and provider tier
- Published amount and billing cadence
- Mandatory fees, add-ons and exclusions
- Source URL and date checked
Use the calculators for arithmetic and contact us when a sourced correction is needed.
Publication safeguards
Every public route must have a unique title, canonical URL, clear heading structure, index status, internal navigation and complete on-page FAQ answers. Brand and service claims stay within their documented scope, while unsupported location pages remain outside the sitemap.
Continue through the Salon Brand Directory, Salon Service Cost Directory and Tanning Prices and Membership Directory directories to compare related decisions without losing the evidence context.
Verification workflow for submitting source evidence
First identify the exact claim that affects the decision. Next locate the strongest first-party or authoritative source, record the date and capture the service, plan, location and billing conditions shown with it. Then compare the claim with any existing table, FAQ and calculation. A newer page is not automatically better evidence when it describes a different location, provider tier or promotion.
Before publication, the route is checked for unsupported nationwide wording, missing numeric context, stale promotional language and accidental mixing of monthly, annual and per-visit amounts. The same review also checks whether an introductory offer has eligibility limits, whether an unused credit expires, and whether cancellation can create another charge. These details often change the practical value more than the headline price.
Finally, use site search to review related coverage and the corrections policy to understand how confirmed updates are handled. This workflow keeps the page useful without pretending that every provider, franchise or market follows one identical menu.

Frequently asked questions
What is Corrections Policy?
Corrections Policy is part of Salons Guide, an independent U.S. consumer-information site for salon, beauty and tanning decisions.
Does Salons Guide operate salons or take bookings?
No. The site does not operate salons, sell appointments or process salon membership payments.
Where do prices and policies come from?
Brand-specific claims prioritize official brand and official location pages. Safety guidance prioritizes government and established medical sources.
Why are some pages missing one national price?
A national price is not invented when the service or location does not publish one compatible number. Local amounts remain labeled to their exact scope.
How are memberships compared?
Monthly charge, startup or annual fee, minimum term, included visits, rollover, cancellation notice and realistic usage are reviewed separately.
Does the site cover tanning?
Yes. Tanning is a full category covering UV and spray services, memberships, fees, packages, policies, add-ons and safety context.
Are the guides medical advice?
No. Safety, preparation and aftercare content is educational and does not replace a licensed healthcare professional.
Can a business request a correction?
Yes. The contact page accepts documented correction requests with the page URL, disputed text, official source and checked date.
Is Salons Guide affiliated with the brands listed?
No. Brand names are used for identification and comparison. The site is independently operated.
When was this guide updated?
Updated 2026. Official and authoritative source links remain on the page so readers can verify current prices, policies and service scope.
