# The Brow Studio MPLS: Agent-Direct Score B (70%) Site: https://www.browstudiompls.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/browstudiompls.com Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional, with the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) The Brow Studio MPLS is mostly ready for agents. An AI assistant can open The Brow Studio MPLS's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly, through Vagaro. ## Direct links - Book directly: https://www.vagaro.com/thebrowstudio/products (through vagaro acting for the business) - Phone: +1-612-823-2769 - Prices: 15 prices on the site, the middle one $65.00 ## Nearby, also direct Places near The Brow Studio MPLS that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Brows By Lulu (190 m): https://directindex.org/r/browsbylulu.com - Lolamax Salon (750 m): https://directindex.org/r/lolamax.com - Pamper Nail and Spa (830 m): https://directindex.org/r/pampernailbarminneapolis.com - Elisia JR Redfield (1.2 km): https://directindex.org/r/havennailstudio.com - Tula Spa (1.2 km): https://directindex.org/r/tulaspa.com ## What to fix first - **No price list of services found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer and what does it cost?' from marketplaces and directories instead.
