The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Blacc+Blond is partly visible to agents. An AI assistant can open Blacc+Blond's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. To book or order, it is sent to Fresha, a marketplace. ## Direct links - Phone: 0121 4396430 ## Nearby, also direct Places near Blacc+Blond that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Blunt (200 m): https://directindex.org/r/bluntbarber.com - Happy Nails (240 m): https://directindex.org/r/happynails.com - MySkin Boutique (250 m): https://directindex.org/r/msboutiques.co.uk - The Skin & Scalp Sanctuary (250 m): https://directindex.org/r/theskinandscalpsanctuary.com - ZeZe Beauty Art (250 m): https://directindex.org/r/zezebeautyart.co.uk ## What to fix first - **Appointments only through fresha.** (+12 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission.
