How to get more 5-star salon reviews on Google and your website.

Want to Attract More Clients to Your Salon? Start With Reviews

When it comes to winning new clients, your reputation speaks louder than any ad campaign ever could. A salon with 50 glowing 5-star reviews will always stand out more than one with only a handful of 4-star ratings. Why? Because people trust people.

That’s where Ovatu’s automated customer review system makes things easy.

Why Reviews Matter

Reviews aren’t just stars on a screen, they’re stories from real people.

They:

• Build instant credibility.
• Tell new clients what to expect.
• Reduce hesitation when someone is deciding whether to book.

In short: reviews = trust. And trust is what gets people through your door.

What Reviews Really Do

Every positive review works like a personal recommendation.

They:

• Give new clients the confidence to try you.
• Showcase real experiences from happy customers.
• Highlight the quality of your service and consistency.

The more great reviews you have, the stronger your reputation becomes.

Are Reviews Hard to Get?

Not at all. Asking might feel awkward at first, but most happy clients are more than willing to share their experiences, they just need an easy way to do it.

• Focus on clients who had a great visit.
• Thank them for their time.
• Send a follow-up text or email link to leave feedback.

Google Reviews = Free Visibility

Here’s the bonus: more reviews don’t just make you look good, they help people find you.

High-rated Google reviews boost your salon’s ranking in local search results. That means more visibility, more clicks, and ultimately more bookings.

Make it part of your routine: after a successful appointment, thank your client and ask them to leave a review.

Reviews on Your Website

Your website is often the first impression potential clients have of your business.

Reviews displayed there:

• Build trust at first glance.
• Create a sense of popularity and success.
• Trigger FOMO (“Everyone loves this place — I want to try it too!”).

Automate Your Review Requests

Manually chasing reviews is time-consuming. Ovatu takes the stress away by automatically sending a follow-up text or email after every appointment.

Example message: “Thanks so much for visiting (business name) We’d love it if you could leave us a quick review here: (link)”

Automated review requests mean every client has the chance to share feedback, and your collection of reviews will grow naturally.

Final Thoughts

Good reviews bring in more bookings. They build trust, boost your visibility online, and influence new clients to choose you.

With Ovatu’s automated review system, collecting feedback becomes effortless, and every review strengthens your reputation.
