The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Mario's Place Barber Shop is partly visible to agents. An AI assistant can open Mario's Place Barber Shop'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 Booksy, a marketplace. ## Direct links - Phone: +17739750702 - Address: 2347 N Southport Ave, Chicago 60614 - Prices: 11 prices on the site, the middle one $40.00 ## Nearby, also direct Places near Mario's Place Barber Shop that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Midcity Nails Salon (60 m): https://directindex.org/r/midcitynailschicago.com - Color Me Maria (90 m): https://directindex.org/r/colormemaria.com - Ricci Kapricci (100 m): https://directindex.org/r/riccikapricci.com - TINT Salon & Spa (210 m): https://directindex.org/r/tintsalonspa.com - Refine by Tulsi Med Spa (340 m): https://directindex.org/r/refinebytulsi.com ## What to fix first - **Appointments only through booksy.** (+12 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission.
