Data sources
Last updated: July 12, 2026
Every price list on ThePriceBoard carries a source badge and a last-verified date. The badge tells you exactly where the prices came from. Owner-provided, phone-verified, and community-reported prices are currently a small minority — most listings come from the business's own website or posted signage.
From business website
Prices listed on the business website or public booking page. This is our primary source.
From posted signage
Prices read from the business’s publicly posted price board or signage. We keep the extracted facts only — photos are never retained or republished.
Owner-provided
Prices submitted or confirmed by the business owner.
Phone-verified
Prices confirmed by phone with the business.
Community-reported
Prices reported by a visitor to the business — for example, what they were quoted or paid.
No marketplaces, ever
We never collect prices from third-party marketplaces or booking directories — not Booksy, StyleSeat, Fresha, Vagaro, Yelp, or any similar platform. Prices come from the business itself or from information the business has posted publicly. For a few national chains, we use the chain's own public website.
