Champlin Nails holds 503 Google reviews and answered 10 of its last 10. Hawaii Nailspa holds 230 and answered 9 of its last 10. Both sit inside a trade with real depth behind it: the 20 nail salons we read carry a median of 130.5 reviews each, and the three most-reviewed of them hold 583, 503 and 384.
Among the barbershops someone searching around Anoka is shown, Resemble Premium Barbershop Andover holds 385 reviews and answered 9 of its last 10. Anoka Goodfellas Barber Studio holds 161 and answered 7 of its last 10. Goodfellas Barber Studio - Champlin holds 365 and answered 2 of its last 10. The median across the 20 barbershops we read is 75 reviews; the three biggest files in that trade hold 385, 365 and 270.
The 20 hair salons we read carry a median of 63.5 reviews, the lowest median of the three trades on this page. Salons by JC at Riverdale Village - Coon Rapids holds 149 reviews and answered 10 of its last 10. Fantastic Sams Riverdale Mall holds 744, the largest single listing across these three trades, and answered 7 of its last 10. Posh22 Salon & Spa holds 188 and answered 5 of its last 10.
The median rating is 4.9 across the 20 barbershops we read, 4.85 across the hair salons and 4.65 across the nail salons. A median is one figure for a set of 20, and it does not tell you which listing is which, so stars are not what orders anything here. Among the 50 businesses we measured for someone searching in Anoka, the typical one had answered 61% of its recent reviews. We read 400 businesses around Anoka in all, 60 of them across these three trades, and one of the other trades came back with nothing at all: none of the 20 gyms we read had answered any of their recent reviews.
What to do about it
Every reply count on this page is drawn from a business's most recent reviews, not from its whole file. That matters if you are sitting on hundreds of them, because nobody is asking you to work back through 503 reviews. Start at the newest one and stop when you have answered ten.
Answer the warm ones as well as the awkward ones; a review with nothing written under it reads the same either way. Write each reply in your own words and refer to what the person actually came in for, because a line you could paste under any of them is doing less work than one you would have written yourself. Then keep it going rather than treating it as a clear-out. The recent ten is a moving window, so the reviews that describe the shop later are not the ten sitting at the top of the listing now.
