## How salon uses the sourced Core 3 map

| Sourced child | Salon note | Core 3 parity |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Name / Address / Phone / Website | Must match everywhere (illustrative: Maria's Hair Studio) | Full |
| Primary + additional categories | e.g. Hair salon + Nail salon / Beauty salon *(illustrative labels — use each platform’s category picker)* | Full |
| Regular / special hours | Same | Full |
| Description / profile | Carry specialties (“curly specialists”, bridal) here when Apple/Bing lack services | GBP `profile`; Bing `Description`; Apple **About** (Configure location attributes) |
| `serviceItems` (GBP) | **Salon P1** — Haircut, Color, Balayage, Blowout *(illustrative)* | **GBP only** — no Apple/Bing services array on Location core |
| Links / Actions | Booking URL (Square/Mindbody/etc.) | GBP Place Actions + website; Apple **Actions**; Bing appointment/URL fields if category allows |
| Attributes | **Do not hardcode** (women-led, wifi, wheelchair, …) until `attributes.list` for salon `gcid` + US | GBP dynamic; Apple Good to Know; Bing category-dependent |
| Photos | Real work photos *(illustrative guidance)* | GBP Photos UI/API; Apple Photos; Bing `Photos[]` |
