What to do about it

Open your own listing and count how many of your 10 most recent reviews carry a reply from you. Famous Fadez Schaumburg, HIP Salon, Christopher Anthony Salon and COCO Nail Bar Hoffman Estates each answered 10 of 10, and the typical measured business here answered 75% of its recent reviews. That is the standard your own count sits beside.

You do not write the review, but you do write the reply. Keep it short: thank the person, mention the stylist, the cut or the set they mentioned, and answer a critical review as calmly as a kind one. Then answer each new review as it arrives, so that whenever someone looks at your most recent 10, every one of them has a reply from the owner.
