## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (HairSalon, BeautySalon or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.
