The moment passes
The best time to ask is the second a client sees the mirror. By the time she's home, the excitement and the review are gone.
Your clients love their new look. Let Google hear about it.
Put your Google review page one tap away at the front desk and every styling station. Clients tap their phone while they're still glowing from the mirror. No app, no searching, no awkward ask.
Tap at checkout. Review in seconds.
Sound familiar?
The best time to ask is the second a client sees the mirror. By the time she's home, the excitement and the review are gone.
Your team is brilliant with color and cuts, not sales pitches. "Could you leave us a review?" rarely makes it into the conversation.
Search Google, find the right listing, scroll to reviews, pick the stars. Most people give up before they start.
Meanwhile, the salon down the street with more reviews shows up first when someone nearby searches.
A Saturday at the front desk
Example scenario
It's Saturday, and my chair hasn't been empty since 9am. My last client of the morning just saw her new color in the mirror: the gasp, the selfie, the "I love it." That's the moment she'd happily tell the world about us.
And then, like always, she pays, hugs me goodbye and walks out. I meant to ask for a review. I always mean to. But asking feels awkward, and by the time she's home, the moment is gone.
So I put a Tap & Review plaque at the front desk, right next to the card reader, and one on every station. Now, as clients check out, we just say, "We'd love your feedback. Just tap here." Their phone opens our Google page right there, while the excitement is still real and before they're out the door.
No app. No "search for us on Google." No awkward follow-up text. Just the moment, captured.
An example salon owner's story (illustrative)
This is an illustrative example of how a salon might use Tap & Review, not a testimonial from a real customer. Results vary by business, client volume, placement, and how consistently your team invites feedback.

Start with one at the front desk. Many salons add one per styling station or treatment room so clients can tap right after their reveal. The 3- and 5-packs cost less per plaque.
Yes. Google encourages businesses to ask for reviews. Just invite every client, not only the happiest ones, and don't offer discounts or rewards in exchange for a review.
