Your Business Type on Vagaro is determined by the services you offer. Our software is able to generate your business type based on services you include on your Service/Class Menu by recognizing key phrases in your service names. To properly categorize your business type, you will need to follow the guidelines below:
If you want your business to show as hair salon then you will need to use key phrases such as color, highlight, blowdry, or cut in some of your service names.
If your business shows up under an incorrect business type, then you will need to remove the key phrases for that business type from your service titles. For example, if your salon shows a business type of cryotherapy, you would need to remove the phrases cryo, freezing, or cryotherapy from all your service names.
The amount of times you use the key phrases in your service names will also contribute to how your business type is determined as well. For example, if you have 10 services with key phrases for the hair salon business type and only one for the threading business type, hair salon will be dominant so it will be shown as your business type.
We have provided a list below to show you which key phrases will match to each business type:

I'm a stylist but it say sports training under my business type. How do I remove that
Hi Keisha,
If any of the services or classes on your service/class menu include any of these key phrases "baseball, football, hockey, basketball, soccer, lacrosse, ice skating, field hockey, volleyball, gymnastics, cheerleading, track & field, wrestling, fencing, boxing, tennis, golf" you will need to rename the services or classes that contain these key phrases or remove the items from your service/class menu entirely.
