Where the listings come from
Business names, addresses, phone numbers and websites start from open geodata: the Overture Maps Foundation places dataset, which includes Foursquare OS Places and OpenStreetMap contributions. We keep hair salons and independent stylists — haircuts, color, locs, extensions and styling — including beauty salons whose name names hair services, and kids’ hair salons; braiding salons, barber shops, nail salons, lash and brow studios, spas, salon suite rentals, beauty schools and supply or wig stores are not listed here. We remove duplicates (the same name and street in the same city) and drop businesses that are reported closed or that asked to be removed.
A city gets its own page when it has at least two hair salons; towns with a single listing appear on their state page, so no page is built around one business.
What a listing shows
97% of listings have a phone number and 52% link to the business's own website. Opening hours appear only where the business or its owner has published them. We do not show ratings or reviews, and we do not copy text from other directories.
How features are marked
Locs, natural and curly hair, extensions, color, blowouts, kids’ cuts and Spanish-language salon names are marked from the salon’s name, and walk-ins, silk press, keratin, men’s cuts and Sunday or late hours only when the salon’s own website names them — we read the site text with fixed word rules and check samples by hand; a salon without such words in its name or on its site is left unmarked rather than guessed. These marks are applied by software — name rules, wording rules run over each business's own website, and an AI model that reads that website — not written by hand. A mark from a website is kept only when the wording is found on the page, so a business without a mark may still offer the service — call to check.

Corrections from owners
Owners can correct their listing for free — new hours, a changed phone number, a moved address, services they offer. Corrections are applied and the listing is marked "Updated by the owner" with the month. Owners can also ask for a listing to be removed, and the removal is permanent. Write to contact@hairsalonatlas.com.
How lists are ordered
Top 10 lists and the order of each city page follow how complete a listing is — website, phone, hours, services — and whether the owner has checked it. No business can pay for a position.
How often it is updated
The directory is rebuilt from the current data every night, so owner corrections usually appear within a day. The underlying geodata is refreshed from new Overture releases.
