For salons and studios
Praise for Jess, a grumble about the wait. Answer both.
Salon reviews often mix love for a stylist with a gripe about timing. ReplyPlate drafts a reply that credits the person by name, says sorry for the wait without blaming anyone, and keeps the details offline.

The reviews you know
Where it helps salons most.
Credit the stylist
If the review names who did their hair, the draft thanks that person by name. Your house voice can say how you refer to your team.
The 40-minute wait
A plain apology for the wait, no excuses about the previous client, and a way to reach you directly.
Stay calm on a bad colour
Drafts acknowledge the disappointment and invite a private conversation, rather than arguing about what was asked for.
Before and after
Read a couple for yourself.
Love the colour Jess did, really close to what I asked for. But I booked a 2pm and didn't sit down until 2:40, and nobody told me why.

Hi Alex, I’m glad you love the colour Jess created. I’m sorry you had to wait 40 minutes without an explanation, that sounds frustrating. Please reach out to us directly so we can hear more about what happened. Studio Fern
Stopped in for a matcha latte and sat by the harbor window, absolute perfection. Soft light, quiet music, and the bowl was exactly what I needed after a long week.

House voice
Tell it how your place talks, once.
“Friendly and calm. Use first names for our stylists. Say sorry for waits without blaming anyone. Never discuss prices or refunds in public.”
Honest note: we tuned the drafts on restaurants and cafés first and have tested salon reviews less. Put your own rules in the house voice and read each draft.
