Research stylists and prep a salon booking
Use an agent to compare hair stylists, gather prices, and pause before any appointment is confirmed.
- What they did
- A CNET reporter used a paid ChatGPT account with Agent mode turned on and asked it to look for a balayage stylist in Montclair, NJ, or New York City within a set budget. They watched it search in real time, corrected it once while it was working, then had it sort choices by cost and rank stylists at one salon. The agent also started the path toward booking, but they stopped it first.
- How it went
- The search finished in 9 minutes and produced price details, notes, and source screenshots. The reporter liked the result, but would not share sensitive information and planned to take over at the booking step.
- Tips
- Treat the agent’s booking step as optional, and keep control of any personal or payment details yourself. Because it is still in beta, use it for research and comparison first, then review everything before moving ahead.
Try it yourself with ChatGPT Agent
Help me research [service] stylists near [neighborhood or city] with prices under [budget]. Compare options by price and reviews, then list the top [number] choices with each stylist’s rate, booking link, and the details needed to reserve. Before you enter or submit any personal, payment, or appointment information, stop and ask for my approval so I can take over.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
