Use AR previews to start a conversation with your makeup artist, not to make final decisions. Take screenshots of options you might like and show them to your artist, asking which would actually work with your skin tone and the event conditions. Combine app exploration with checking the artist's real portfolio and reviews to get the full picture.

Dynamic pricing in salons is a system where service costs change based on real-time demand, similar to airline tickets. Prices fluctuate based on factors like time of day, day of week, proximity to festivals or wedding season, stylist availability, and cancellation patterns. Computer systems analyze booking patterns to adjust prices to fill seats efficiently.

Yes, booking multiple appointments for the same time slot usually makes pricing worse. The system interprets group bookings as high demand for that specific slot, which can trigger price surges for all appointments in that time period.
Common mistakes include: repeatedly refreshing the booking page (which the algorithm may interpret as high demand), booking during peak hours like evenings and weekends, adding popular services like hair spas to your booking (which can trigger surges for the entire appointment), and booking last-minute (which is almost always the most expensive option).
