# The Balayage Studio: Agent-Direct Score B (73.8%) Site: https://www.thebalayagestudio.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/thebalayagestudio.com 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.) The Balayage Studio is mostly ready for agents. An AI assistant can open The Balayage Studio'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 Square. ## Direct links - Order directly: https://square.site/book/2B50J2W3E1PVW/the-balayage-studio-salt-lake-city-ut (through square acting for the business) - Phone: +16192017638 - Address: 1550 Front St, 92101-2919, San Diego ## Nearby, also direct Places near The Balayage Studio that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Simply Style (0 m): https://directindex.org/r/simplyluminousdayspa.com - Bearded Lady Barbershop SD (10 m): https://directindex.org/r/beardedladysd.com - Ladi Skin (20 m): https://directindex.org/r/larissaskinsd.com - Bonnie Cruz Esthetics (20 m): https://directindex.org/r/bonniecruz.com - Theory Hair Studio (360 m): https://directindex.org/r/theoryhairstudio.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.
