What they did
With Agent mode on, she asked for salons that do balayage in Montclair (NJ) or New York for under a set price. She watched the browsing live, corrected one criterion midway and asked for the options sorted by price, with the stylists ranked.
How it went
She got an organized list; the report doesn't mention a completed booking.
