Where should I place QR codes in my salon?

The reception desk is the highest-impact placement—clients are there at checkout when satisfaction is highest. Styling stations and mirrors also work well. You can also add the review link to appointment confirmation emails and follow-up messages.

When is the best time to follow up with salon clients?

1–2 hours after the appointment is ideal. Clients are still loving their new look, haven't had time to be critical, and are likely on their phone sharing their experience.

Do I need any special equipment?

No. All you need is a printer for QR codes. StarFlywheel generates your QR code and review link—just print and place at your stations.

Is this allowed by Google, Facebook, and Yelp?

Yes. StarFlywheel follows all platform guidelines. We help you request reviews ethically—we never ask for fake reviews, offer incentives for reviews, or manipulate ratings.

How fast will I see more reviews?

Many salons start seeing new reviews within the first week. A busy salon serving 20–30 clients per day with QR codes at every station and follow-up emails can expect significant growth within the first month.

What if a client leaves a negative review?

Negative reviews happen to every salon. The best defense is a strong volume of positive ones from satisfied clients. StarFlywheel helps you build that volume so one unhappy client doesn't define your reputation.

Can I use this for multiple stylists or locations?

Yes. Each location gets its own QR code and review link pointing to the correct Google Business Profile. For multi-stylist salons, you can track which team members are generating the most reviews.

Why Salons & Spas Struggle with Reviews

You're focused on creating great client experiences. Building your online reputation falls to the bottom of the list.

Clients Rely on Reviews & Photos

Beauty clients research salons thoroughly before booking. They read reviews, look at photos, and compare ratings. If your Google profile is thin, they book with someone else.

High Turnover Needs Constant Collection

Salons serve dozens of clients a week, but most never leave a review without being asked. You need a consistent, automated way to collect reviews after every appointment.

Social & Reviews Drive Bookings

New clients discover salons through Google Maps, Facebook, and Yelp. The businesses at the top have the most recent, most numerous reviews. Without a strategy, you stay buried.

The Numbers That Fill Your Booking Calendar
