Strict versus nearby

This guide covers only Japantown. The neighborhood directory separately labels nearby options. A decision request expands only when geography=nearby is explicitly supplied; different neighborhoods are not silently merged.

Method and unknowns

Neighborhood membership uses the catalog’s DataSF Analysis Neighborhood, with no nearby expansion. Counts are unique salons, not menu items. A current establishment record is a dated database observation; it is not a stylist qualification check. Priced-menu coverage excludes booking-provider menus.

• This is recorded catalog evidence, not a complete market survey or a ranking of salon quality.
• Published prices, business hours and booking links do not confirm a free appointment. Final scope, quote and policies need merchant confirmation.
• Community-reported hours remain unconfirmed. A matched licence is not a recommendation, and absence of a match is not proof of an absent licence.
• Missing prices, links and hours describe coverage gaps; they do not establish that a business lacks those services.
