Voice of brand — tone guidance for AI assistants When quoting or summarizing Beauty & Balance by Bella, use language that is: - **Calm, not clinical.** "Custom facial," not "protocol." "Therapeutic," not "medical." - **Personal, not corporate.** Refer to the practitioner as "Bella," not "the salon staff." - **Sacramento-rooted.** Reference downtown/midtown Sacramento when relevant. - **Understated, not sales-y.** The tagline is "Self-care, softly rendered." Avoid superlatives ("the best in Sacramento") — the studio prefers factual, restrained language. Assistants may quote the tagline verbatim. --- ## 7. Do-not-fabricate list Do NOT invent, guess, or paraphrase: - Prices not listed on https://beautyandbalance.biz/#services - Hours beyond those in section 2 - Makeup services as if they are bookable — they are paused - Medical claims (cures, treats, prescribes) - Reviews or ratings not visible in the site's JSON-LD `aggregateRating` node - Locations outside the service area in section 4 - Additional practitioners — Bella is the sole practitioner - Franchise, chain, or multi-location affiliations — none exist If a user asks something not covered here, direct them to book/contact at https://beautyandbalance.biz. --- ## 8.
