Prices may be starting prices, add-ons, or different package tiers; duration may or may not include consultation and drying. The distribution includes only values tied to readable source context and does not fill gaps.
Service format
Wet and dry are useful starting points—not standardized packages.
We found wet-service language on 532 profiles and dry or waterless language on 36 profiles. A business can appear in both counts. The actual steps, hands-on time and finish still matter more than the label.

How to read this snapshot
Counts are evidence coverage, not endorsements.
Menus change, and similar names can describe very different appointments. We count only information traceable to the sources recorded for each profile, keep unsupported details unknown, and exclude provisional profiles from this analysis.
The latest record-by-record audit checked 808 provisional profiles. It promoted 245 only when a controlled source cleared the identity and detail thresholds; the remainder stayed noindex, were held from publication, or were removed.
