Twenty day spas were read in the set someone searching around Chanhassen is shown, and not one of them had answered any of its recent reviews. The three most-reviewed day spa listings hold 523, 461 and 372 reviews. In the same group, among the 20 med spas we read, the three that answered the most each answered 10 of their last 10 — MK Aesthetics on 332 reviews, LIVskin Medspa | Laser on 287, and Refine Laser & Skin Care on 191.
Review depth varies widely from trade to trade. The median restaurant in this catchment holds 439 Google reviews, against 267 for cafés, 173.5 for coffee shops, 117 for bakeries and 45 for food trucks; veterinarians sit at 195, tattoo studios at 193.5, dentists at 181 and nail salons at 174.5. Houlihan's answered 9 of its last 10 and carries 1,397 reviews; Med Box Grill answered 2 of its last 10 and carries 877. Among the 20 coffee shops, and again among the 20 bakeries, the business answering the most was Lakewinds Food Co-op, at 3 of its last 10 in each; the bakery list also carries Hold The Wheat at 1 of its last 10.
Ten of ten turns up repeatedly once you leave food. Among the chiropractors, EverHealth Chiropractic answered 10 of its last 10 across 305 reviews, Abundant Life Chiropractic Health Center 10 of 10 across 292, and Restoration Chiropractic Co. 10 of 10 across 250. Holger Dental Group - Minnetonka answered 10 of 10 on 432 reviews and West Lakes Dentistry - Chaska 10 of 10 on 425. Pampered Pooch Playground answered 10 of 10 on 407, and Flying Cloud Animal Hospital 10 of 10 on 445.
Among the 53 businesses we measured for someone searching in Chanhassen, the typical one had answered 74% of its recent reviews. That figure covers every trade together; it is not calculated for any single one. Four hundred and sixty businesses were read in total across these trades. Star ratings are not what this page orders anything by — the median rating is 4.45 for bars and 5 for chiropractors, and a trade median is one number for a whole set that tells you nothing about which listing is which.
What to do about it
If you run a day spa, the figure to act on is not your own — it is that we read 20 of them and none had answered any of their recent reviews. Answering at all puts you somewhere none of those 20 currently are, and it costs the time it takes to type.
For every other trade, the two kinds of number here are measured differently. The reply counts come from each business's most recent reviews; the review totals are the whole listing. Med Box Grill's 877 reviews are not a backlog anyone has to clear. Start at the newest end and work backwards, and answer the plain good ones as well as the difficult ones. Write them in the words you would actually use, not a paragraph you paste: three replies that read as one sentence are worth less than three short ones that sound like a person. The gap between 2 of 10 and 9 of 10 is mostly a question of checking every week rather than catching up once.
Food & drink in Chanhassen, MN
Among the 20 cafés we read in the set someone searching around Chanhassen is shown, the highest reply count we found was 2 of the last 10, at Med Box Grill. Bakeries were not far off: Lakewinds Food Co-op answered 3 of its last 10, and Hold The Wheat answered 1 of its last 10 against a Google file of 466 reviews. Lakewinds Food Co-op sits at the top of the coffee shop list too, again at 3 of its last 10. These are the businesses answering the most in each of those trades, not typical ones.
The bar and restaurant sets read differently on the same measure. Houlihan's answered 9 of its last 10 and carries 1397 reviews; it appears in both the restaurant set and the bar set, as a few of these businesses do. Tavern 4&5 answered 7 of its last 10, with 3090 reviews behind it. The three most-reviewed bar listings hold 5830, 3090 and 1966 reviews, while the median across the 20 bars we read is 310 — half that set sits at or below 310.
| Trade | Median reviews | Median rating | Answers reviews best | Answered |

| Restaurants | 439 | 4.5 | Houlihan's | 9 of 10 |

Hair, nails & barbering in Chanhassen, MN
Among the nail salons a customer searching around Chanhassen is shown, the businesses answering the most of their recent reviews are LVY Nails Chanhassen at 5 of its last 10, Céla Nails | Premier Nail Art Salon in Excelsior at 5 of its last 10, and Pro Nail & Lounge at 4 of its last 10. Those same listings carry 398, 388 and 360 Google reviews. The two windows are different and it is worth keeping them apart: the reply counts come from each business's most recent reviews, while the review totals are the whole file going back to the beginning.
Depth is not the constraint here. Across the 20 nail salons we read, the median listing holds 174.5 reviews and the three biggest hold 620, 398 and 388. The 20 barbershops we read sit at a median of 132, with 541, 357 and 298 at the top; the 20 hair salons sit at a median of 101, with 357, 311 and 262 at the top. In each of the three trades, the top three figures describe that trade's three most-reviewed listings, and the median sits a long way under them.
| Trade | Median reviews | Median rating | Answers reviews best | Answered |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Barbershops | 132 | 4.9 | Blessed barbershop | 8 of 10 |
| Hair salons | 101 | 4.9 | Hairazors Salon | 9 of 10 |
| Nail salons | 174.5 | 4.75 | LVY Nails Chanhassen | 5 of 10 |

Spa & aesthetics in Chanhassen, MN
Not one of the 20 day spas we read in the set someone searching around Chanhassen is shown had answered any of its recent reviews. The three most-reviewed of those listings carry 523, 461 and 372 Google reviews, and the median day spa listing holds 78. Those are whole-listing totals; the reply counts are drawn from each business's most recent reviews. Deep files, and nothing answered in the recent window.
The medical trades in the same group read differently, at least among the businesses we can name. In med spas, MK Aesthetics answered 10 of its last 10 against a listing of 332 reviews, LIVskin Medspa | Laser 10 of its last 10 against 287, and Refine Laser & Skin Care 10 of its last 10 against 191. In IV therapy, Driip IV answered 10 of its last 10 with 281 reviews and The DRIPBaR Edina 10 of its last 10 with 248; MK Aesthetics appears in that list too. Plastic surgery shows Skin Artisans at Edina Plastic Surgery at 10 of its last 10 with 524 reviews, Sono Bello Edina at 10 of 10 with 474, and AirSculpt - Edina at 10 of 10 with 204. These are only the businesses answering the most in each trade, so they say nothing about the rest of the twenty we read in any of them.

Fitness & wellness in Chanhassen, MN
Three chiropractic practices answered every one of their most recent ten. EverHealth Chiropractic answered 10 of its last 10 and carries 305 Google reviews. Abundant Life Chiropractic Health Center answered 10 of 10 on 292. Restoration Chiropractic Co. answered 10 of 10 on 250. Those are the three answering the most out of the 20 chiropractors we read, and they are the only ones we can describe — the rest of the twenty are not something this page measured either way.
The gym files run larger on both figures we have. Across the 20 we read, the three most-reviewed listings hold 476, 372 and 287 reviews, against a trade median of 128. Life Time Fitness answered 9 of its last 10 and has 372 reviews on the listing. Snap Fitness Chaska answered 7 of its last 10 and has 255. Both are among the gyms answering the most; we can name no others.
| Trade | Median reviews | Median rating | Answers reviews best | Answered |

| Gyms | 128 | 4.7 | Life Time Fitness | 9 of 10 |
| Chiropractors | 100 | 5 | EverHealth Chiropractic | 10 of 10 |

Dental & orthodontics in Chanhassen, MN
Holger Dental Group - Minnetonka answered 10 of its last 10 reviews, on a listing carrying 432 reviews in total. West Lakes Dentistry - Chaska also answered 10 of its last 10, with 425 reviews on file. Those are the two answering the most of the 20 dentists we read in the set someone searching around Chanhassen is shown, so they tell you what the top of this group looks like and nothing about the rest of the twenty.
The files underneath are not small. Across those 20 dentists the median listing holds 181 Google reviews, and the three most-reviewed carry 689, 640 and 532. The 20 orthodontists we read sit at a median of 111, with 533, 433 and 382 on the three biggest. It is worth keeping the two windows apart: those review totals are the whole listing, built up over years, while the reply counts come only from each business's most recent reviews.
| Trade | Median reviews | Median rating | Answers reviews best | Answered |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dentists | 181 | 4.9 | Holger Dental Group - Minnetonka | 10 of 10 |
| Orthodontists | 111 | 4.95 | Dentistry on the Ponds | 9 of 10 |

Pets in Chanhassen, MN
Twenty veterinarians were read in this set, and the median one carries 195 Google reviews. The three biggest files in that trade hold 2,261, 568 and 492. Two of the vets answering the most of their recent reviews are Flying Cloud Animal Hospital, which answered 10 of its last 10 and carries 445 reviews, and Village Animal Hospital, at 10 of 10 with 357. Keep the two windows apart when you read those figures: the reply counts are drawn from each business's most recent reviews, while the review totals are the whole listing.
Boarding sits lower on depth. Across the 20 we read, the median business carries 100 reviews and the median rating is 4.8. Pampered Pooch Playground answered 10 of its last 10 and carries 407 reviews; Camp Bow Wow Eden Prairie also answered 10 of 10, with 268.
| Trade | Median reviews | Median rating | Answers reviews best | Answered |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pet grooming | 86.5 | 4.85 | Hound Dog Pet Hotel - East | 9 of 10 |
| Pet boarding | 100 | 4.8 | Pampered Pooch Playground | 10 of 10 |
| Veterinarians | 195 | 4.8 | Flying Cloud Animal Hospital | 10 of 10 |
Shops & studios in Chanhassen, MN
One studio in the set someone searching around Chanhassen is shown carries 2260 Google reviews. The next two most-reviewed carry 542 and 477. The median across the 20 tattoo studios we read is 193.5, so the largest file in this group and the middle of it are a long way apart.
Ocean Blue Tattoo & Art Studio answered 10 of its last 10 reviews, on a listing of 380. Minneapolis Tattoo Shop answered 9 of its last 10, on a listing of 542. Jackalope Tattoo answered 3 of its last 10, on a listing of 477. Those are the three studios answering the most of their recent reviews out of the 20 we read, which means the third figure on that short list is 3 of 10. Two different windows are in play: the reply counts come from each business's most recent reviews, while 380, 542 and 477 are whole-listing totals.
| Trade | Median reviews | Median rating | Answers reviews best | Answered |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tattoo studios | 193.5 | 4.8 | Ocean Blue Tattoo & Art Studio | 10 of 10 |
Method
Every figure comes from public Google listings — the businesses and owner replies any customer can see — read on 2026-09-24. Counts describe the businesses someone searching in Chanhassen, MN is shown, which is the competitive set a customer actually chooses from, not a register of businesses inside the city limits. A business is named only where we read at least eight of its recent reviews, and only the ones answering the most are named; the rest of a market appears as a distribution with its denominator. Chains are counted but never named. Nothing is ranked on star rating. Chanhassen, MN has a population of 26,001 and a median household income of $138,034 (US Census) — context for the town, not a predictor of its reviews.
