Site: https://www.salonsocial.ca/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/salonsocial.ca
Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Salon Social is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Salon Social'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 Phorest.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://phorest.com/book/salons/salonsocial1 (through phorest acting for the business)
- Phone: +1-780-919-0889
- Address: 92 Street NW 8815 T6C 3P9 Edmonton
- Hours, from OpenStreetMap: Mon closed; Tue 10:00–18:00; Wed–Thu 10:00–20:00; Fri 10:00–18:00; Sat 09:00–16:00; Sun closed
- Open on Saturday
- Open after 19:00 on a weekday
- Prices: 39 prices on the site, the middle one CA$225

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Salon Social that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- Beauty Rewind (2.9 km): https://directindex.org/r/beautyrewind.ca
- RG Spa and Wellness (3.2 km): https://directindex.org/r/rgspa.ca
- Oxyderm Laser Clinic (3.5 km): https://directindex.org/r/oxydermlaserclinic.ca

## 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. Add a page that lists services and prices as text, and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+1 points) Missing: telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **39 prices on the landing page, the middle one CA$225.**
