Answer

0 supported, 0 conditional, 3 excluded service options in the displayed evidence. 3 of 3 published service rows shown. These are service options, not available appointments.

A color menu price can exclude the finishing service. This task adds the requested blow-dry and exposes known over-budget totals instead of comparing the base price alone.

No requested appointment date. No appointment is confirmed. No provider-confirmed availability is available. Date-specific options remain conditional; no slot is held or booked.

Known subtotals include selected and known mandatory extras once. Unknown charges are not free; deposits are advance payments, not added twice. Optional gratuity is excluded.
