Review creative-color starting prices, consultation rules and unresolved treatment charges within SoMa, without assuming a final quote.

Canonical: https://agentsalonsf.com/tasks/soma-creative-color-under-300
JSON answer: https://agentsalonsf.com/api/v1/options?service_intent=creative+color&budget=300&neighborhood=soma&geography=strict&limit=50

## Answer

0 supported, 1 conditional, 0 excluded service options in the displayed evidence. 1 of 1 published service rows shown. These are service options, not available appointments.

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

A starting amount below the budget does not establish that a creative-color treatment fits. Consultation fees and unpriced treatment requirements remain visible.
