This policy explains the limited information Salons Guide may process through hosting logs, contact submissions, analytics and advertising services.
Information you provide
A contact form may collect the name, email address and message you choose to submit. Do not include payment information, government identifiers or medical records.
Technical information
Hosting and security systems may record IP address, browser type, requested URL, timestamps and error data for reliability and abuse prevention.
Advertising and cookies
When advertising is enabled, third-party vendors may use cookies or similar technologies to serve personalized or non-personalized ads subject to their settings and applicable law.
Retention and choices
Contact messages and security logs are retained only as reasonably needed. Browser controls and vendor ad settings can be used to manage cookies.
Children
The site is designed for a general audience and is not intended to collect personal information from children under 13.
Practical guide to understanding data boundaries
The public guides do not require an account. Search and calculators operate without asking for a salon login or payment credentials. Information entered into a calculator remains part of the browser interaction unless a third-party browser feature handles it.
For evidence rules and numeric handling, read the Salon Price Research Methodology and Editorial Policy.
Keep a decision record
Before sending a contact message, remove information that is not needed for the editorial request. A page URL, quoted claim, official source and checked date are usually enough to investigate a correction.
- 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 understanding data boundaries
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 personal information can the contact form collect?
It can collect the name, email address and message a visitor chooses to submit. Sensitive payment or medical information should not be sent.
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.
