Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Beauty Salon & Pro Locator Scraper ✂️💇‍♀️ Extract structured salon, stylist, certified-pro, distributor, academy, and professional-location rows from public beauty brand locator pages. Use it to build beauty B2B prospect lists, map professional-brand coverage, and compare which cities have strong or weak salon/pro presence. ### What you get - **Salon and pro-location rows** — business name, professional type, address, city, state, postal code, phone, coordinates, and source URL. - **Certified/pro locator coverage** — works well with direct beauty salon/pro locator URLs, especially Stockist-powered locators. - **Market mapping** — query by metro areas such as New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, or your own coordinates. - **Clean export formats** — use Apify dataset output as JSON, CSV, Excel, Google Sheets, or API data. - **Diagnostics** — unsupported or browser-only locator systems can return diagnostics instead of silently failing. ### Best use cases - Find salons/stylists certified by a professional beauty brand. - Build B2B prospect lists for distributors, education events, or wholesale outreach. - Track pro-market footprint for brands like OLAPLEX, Paul Mitchell, Redken, Wella, Matrix, and similar lines. - Compare which markets have dense vs. thin salon coverage. - Prepare territory research for beauty reps or local operators. ### Buyer-ready offer > Send a public salon/pro locator URL and 2-4 target metro areas. I’ll return a clean salon/stylist/certified-pro spreadsheet with address, market, provider, and source URL. Best buyers: professional beauty brands, distributors, education teams, sales reps, and salon-market operators who need territory coverage without manual locator clicking. ### Input example ```json { "brandUrls": [ "https://olaplex.com/pages/certified-stylists", "https://www.paulmitchell.com/pages/salon-locator" ], "searchAreas": [ { "label": "New York, NY", "latitude": 40.7128, "longitude": -74.0060, "radiusMiles": 25 }, { "label": "Los Angeles, CA", "latitude": 34.0522, "longitude": -118.2437, "radiusMiles": 25 } ], "maxResultsPerBrand": 40, "maxPagesPerBrand": 4, "includeDiagnostics": true, "mode": "pro" } ```` | Field | What it controls | |---|---| | `brandUrls` **required** | Brand homepages or direct salon/pro locator URLs. Direct locator URLs work best. | | `searchAreas` | Metro areas used to query Stockist and similar map widgets. | | `maxResultsPerBrand` | Maximum deduplicated pro-location rows per brand. | | `maxPagesPerBrand` | Maximum candidate pages to fetch for each brand. | | `includeDiagnostics` | Emit diagnostic rows when no usable locations are extracted. | | `mode` | Use `pro` for salon/stylist/pro locator output. | ### Sample output Representative rows from a verified cloud run: | Brand | Business | Type | Address | Provider | |---|---|---|---|---| | OLAPLEX | Laicale | stylist | 129 Grand Street, New York, NY 10013 | `stockist` | | OLAPLEX | \[salon]718 | salon | 60 furman street, Brooklyn, NY 11201 | `stockist` | | Paul Mitchell | The Cutting Den | salon | 100 Henry Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201 | `stockist` | | Paul Mitchell | Blondify Studio | salon | 54 E 4Th St, New York, NY 10003 | `stockist` | Example row shape: ```json { "rowType": "pro_location", "brandName": "Paul Mitchell", "brandDomain": "paulmitchell.com", "businessName": "The Cutting Den", "proName": "", "professionalType": "salon", "address": "100 Henry Street", "city": "Brooklyn", "state": "NY", "postalCode": "11201", "latitude": 40.6992, "longitude": -73.9937, "phone": "", "locatorProvider": "stockist", "searchAreaLabel": "New York, NY", "sourceUrl": "https://www.paulmitchell.com/pages/salon-locator", "scrapedAt": "2026-07-04T19:04:37.010Z" } ``` Latest verified cloud smoke: | Metric | Value | |---|---:| | Rows | 80 clean / 80 total | | Location rows | 80 | | Diagnostic rows | 0 | | Brands | OLAPLEX 40, Paul Mitchell 40 | | Runtime | ~4 seconds | ### Output fields `brandName`, `brandDomain`, `businessName`, `proName`, `professionalType`, `services`, `certificationSignals`, `address`, `address2`, `city`, `state`, `postalCode`, `country`, `latitude`, `longitude`, `phone`, `website`, `profileUrl`, `locatorProvider`, `searchAreaLabel`, `distanceMiles`, `sourceUrl`, `scrapedAt`. ### How it works This Actor scans supplied beauty brand URLs for public salon/pro locator pages and extracts location rows from: - Stockist-powered salon/pro locator widgets. - JSON-LD BeautySalon/HairSalon/LocalBusiness data. - Embedded public salon/pro/location arrays. For Stockist widgets, it queries public search endpoints by latitude, longitude, and radius, then deduplicates rows by business/address/geography. It does **not** log in, access private data, scrape appointment books, or collect non-public customer information. ### Pricing This Actor is configured for **Pay per event** pricing: - `apify-actor-start`: **$0.00005 per run start**. - `pro-location-row`: **$0.001 per real pro-location row**. - Diagnostic rows are emitted for transparency but are **not** charged as value rows. Displayed price: **from $1.00 / 1,000 pro-location rows**. ### Limitations - Works best with direct salon/pro locator URLs. - Stockist-powered salon locators are queried by `searchAreas`; add more cities for broader coverage. - Browser-only locator platforms may need future provider-specific extractors. - Some brands use vendors or APIs that are not supported yet; diagnostics help identify those cases. - Address quality depends on the source locator data. - Not affiliated with OLAPLEX, Paul Mitchell, Stockist, or any listed brand. Use responsibly and respect each site's terms. ### Beauty Data Toolkit This Actor is part of a focused beauty-market data toolkit: | Need | Actor | |---|---| | Product drops, prices, variants, discounts | [Shopify Product Feed & Price Scraper](https://apify.com/fierce_quoll/shopify-beauty-radar) | | Brand retail footprint and where-to-buy/store-locator rows | [Beauty Where-to-Buy & Stockist Scraper](https://apify.com/fierce_quoll/beauty-stockist-radar) | | Salon, stylist, and certified-pro locator rows | [Beauty Salon & Pro Locator Scraper](https://apify.com/fierce_quoll/beauty-pro-locator-radar) | Use the three together to map **what brands sell**, **where products are stocked**, and **which salons/pros carry or certify around professional lines**. ### FAQ #### Can I scrape multiple brands at once? Yes. Add multiple `brandUrls`; each output row includes `brandName`, `brandDomain`, and `sourceUrl`. #### Why do I need search areas? Many salon/pro locators return nearby results, not a full national dump. Add the cities or markets you want to map. #### Does this return individual stylist names? Sometimes. If the source locator exposes an individual professional name, it appears in `proName`; otherwise the Actor returns the salon/business name. #### What happens if a locator is unsupported? With `includeDiagnostics: true`, the Actor emits diagnostic rows instead of silently failing. ### Quality / verification This project now ships with a reusable sample input and standard local checks: ```bash npm run check cp examples/sample-input.json storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json CRAWLEE_STORAGE_DIR=./storage APIFY_LOCAL_STORAGE_DIR=./storage node src/main.js ``` ### API usage Run from the Apify CLI: ```bash apify call fierce_quoll/beauty-pro-locator-radar --input-file examples/live-input.json ``` Or use the API tab on the Actor page for language-specific snippets. # Actor input Schema ## `brandUrls` (type: `array`): Public brand homepages or direct locator pages to scan.
