Of the reviews we read, the median barbershop has 40 that are more than a month old and still unanswered, and 59% have at least one review of three stars or fewer with no reply under it — the one a customer reads first.
What their replies look like
Not our words — theirs. One recent reply each from the barbershops above, quoted as it appears on their listing, under a critical review where we could find one.
“We truly appreciate u giving us a try. From what we can understand you had a child that didn’t get maybe a crispy edge up . I the owner came to help because the child might’ve been moving if I remember. But that’s no excuse we hope that you can come again and give us a an opportunity.”
— DTX BARBERS, replying to a 1-star review
“Thank you for the review Zach! I appreciate you choosing me and hope you enjoyed your time here in Dallas!”
— The Fine Lines Barber, replying to a 5-star review
“Vincent, we’re very sorry your Booksy reservation was denied at the shop and understand how disappointing that is. We will investigate what went wrong with our staff scheduling to prevent this from happening again.”
— Ninety Degrees Barbershop Reserved, replying to a 1-star review
What the top quarter does differently
The 20 barbershops with the highest reply rates against the other 61. Three contrasts, each measured, none of them about star rating:
- They answer most of what comes in. Median reply rate 93% versus 5%.
- They leave no negative review unanswered. 70% of the top quarter have zero unanswered reviews of three stars or fewer, against 31% of the rest.
- Customers keep writing to them. Median reviews a month 2.7 for the top quarter, 1.9 for the rest. Replying does not create reviews on its own — but in this market the barbershops that answer are also the ones customers keep writing to.
How fast reviews arrive
Ranked on Google reviews received per month, among barbershops with at least 50 reviews. Pace is the number that decides how much any one bad review weighs.

What “normal” looks like in Dallas
The typical Dallas barbershop in this audit has 160 Google reviews, a 4.8 rating, answers 15% of them, and receives about 2.1 a month. Ratings cluster high in almost every local category, which is why this page never ranks on them — the difference customers can actually see is in the replies.
How Oh Local helps a Dallas barbershop
Most of your customers pay, leave, and are gone — the review only happens if something they took with them asks for it. The barbershops at the top of this page answer what comes in and keep it coming: a review link on the receipt or a card, a reply to every negative review within days (how to write one), and no unanswered three-star review a customer can find first.
How it works
- Run the free audit. We read your public Google reviews and replies and send you the numbers: reply rate, the reviews still waiting for an answer, and the oldest of them — with the table on this page to put them beside.
- Claim your page. Pick your listing, and your QR card and short link are ready to print — from your own phone, no onboarding call.
- Get the weekly email. Every new review with its reply drafted, private feedback that came in, and the short list of what to fix on your listing and site.
- Approve, and that’s it. You press approve on the replies you like. The rest — the card, the page, the measuring — runs on its own.

Where does this data come from?
From public Google listings: the reviews and owner replies visible to any customer, read between September 8 – September 22, 2026 for 81 barbershops in Dallas. Nothing comes from any business's private data, and businesses are ranked on reply behaviour and review pace, never on star rating.
Method
81 listings with at least 15 Google reviews in Dallas, in the industry Google's own listing category gives them. Up to the 300 most recent reviews read per listing. Reply rate = reviews with an owner reply ÷ reviews read. Named lists rank on reply rate (≥ 30 reviews read) and on reviews per month (≥ 50 reviews) — never on rating; equal values share a rank. Listings whose name carries an offer, a claim or a disclaimer are counted but not named. Public data only, read on the date shown; a listing can change any day.
