Of the reviews we read, the median nail salon has 10 that are more than a month old and still unanswered, and 62% 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 nail salons above, quoted as it appears on their listing, under a critical review where we could find one.
“OMG, sorry for the bad experience. We were probably very busy. But it could not be the right excuse for this issue. My apology for your unsatisfied services. Please call us ASAP to get it fixed. Thank you.”
— Nails Spa BK, replying to a 2-star review
“Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I am so sorry to hear that you had a bad experience. I am the manager of the store. If you’d like to discuss this further, please contact me at the store’s phone number. Thank you.”

What the top quarter does differently
The 15 nail salons with the highest reply rates against the other 46. Three contrasts, each measured, none of them about star rating:
- They answer most of what comes in. Median reply rate 98% versus 38%.
- They leave no negative review unanswered. 87% of the top quarter have zero unanswered reviews of three stars or fewer, against 22% of the rest.
- Customers keep writing to them. Median reviews a month 4.7 for the top quarter, 2.8 for the rest. Replying does not create reviews on its own — but in this market the nail salons that answer are also the ones customers keep writing to.
How fast reviews arrive

How Oh Local helps a Fort Lauderdale nail salon
Most of your customers pay, leave, and are gone — the review only happens if something they took with them asks for it. The nail salons 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.
