Overall, this database is a helpful resource, though not perfect. Finding contact information for smaller, independent shops was easier than I expected. The verification process seems to have worked well, as I didn't encounter many dead links or outdated information. However, the search functionality could be improved; it was sometimes difficult to locate specific product lines or brands within the stores. Also, a map feature would significantly enhance the usability. While it's not completely comprehensive, covering every single beauty store in the state is probably impossible, it's a decent starting point for anyone looking to source Himachal Pradesh-based cosmetics or find local retailers. I'd recommend it, but with the caveat that some manual searching might still be necessary.
