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 a 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 number 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.

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.
While trying to get everything set up, I noticed my business type also lists piercing. None of my service names or descriptions include the words Pierce, Earring, or Piercing. I do however have a service listed as “waxing - ears,” so perhaps that is what’s triggering it. How can I list the service using the word Ears without my business type including piercing?
Hi Lynn,
Please reach out to our Support Team so they can look into this further with you and help you get this resolved. You can reach them at sales.vagaro.com/contact by phone, email, or live chat!
Thank you!
I'd prefer to be able to select the correct "types" myself. Is there a reason it's automatically determined instead of us picking the correct types?
For example, we are a curly hair salon. So of course we work with natural hair and do offer some twist services. But the "type" vagaro chooses for this is 'Locs and Natural Hair.' We do not do locs as our focus is on one's natural texture and embracing it. But this confuses clients and makes it look like we do. They don't understand that we have no control over those which makes us look bad.
This really is not a good way to do this. We are a burlesque dance studio listed as skin care because we offer a workshop called Stocking Peel Basics. The word "peel" puts us in the skin care category. The word "peel" is frequently used in but burlesque. I get that we are niche, but why not let businesses select their own business type?
Ginger, I think if you contact support.vagaro.com they may be able to change the business type for you.
