For salons, spas, and MedSpas
Booking decisions happen in 30 seconds. We keep your Booksy, Fresha, Yelp, and Google presence conversion-ready.
Choose what you need removed
Pay upfront. If the specific Google review is not removed within 30 days of payment, or a Yelp review or other-platform item is not removed within 90 days of payment, we refund the removal fee to your original payment method. No claim or form needed. We review and issue it within 5 business days. Google, Yelp and the sites we file with make the final decision.
ToS-based
Every removal we file for a salon cites a documented platform policy violation. No volume outreach, no fake reviews.
30 / 90 days
The upfront refund windows for a salon: 30 days for Google and 90 days for Yelp and other platforms.
$0 today
Upfront fees are refunded after our review if a Google review is not removed within 30 days of payment, or a Yelp review or other-platform item is not removed within 90 days. No claim or form needed. We review and issue it within 5 business days. Pay upon removal: save a card, pay $0 today, and pay $50 more per item only once each removal is documented. No refund term applies because nothing is charged before removal.
The stakes
The digital front door to every salon is its review profile. Here's what's at stake.

We combine review response with photo-asset strategy for full protection.
How buyers decide
The crisis card above says a booking decision takes 30 seconds. On Booksy, Fresha, Yelp and Google the rating and the top photo carry the entire pitch, and one photo review of a bad result can overshadow twenty good ones.
The photo scroll
Clients pick a salon from photos and confirm with reviews. A one-star that includes a photo of damaged hair or a botched lash set is the most shared item on any beauty profile, and it stays until it is removed.
The stylist-specific search
Clients search for a stylist by name. A review that names a stylist and accuses them of causing damage or being unsanitary follows that person to their next chair, and unsupported accusations against a named individual fall under harassment rules.
The deposit and cancellation fight
Reviews written after a no-show fee or a cancellation dispute are about the policy, not the service, and often come from people who never sat in the chair. Those are the off-topic reviews worth reporting.
Salon Revenue Loss
Enter your rating and review counts. We score your profile against the 4.7★ threshold buyers use to filter, then show the net profit that may leak out below it.
An average salon visit is worth about $114 in revenue, ≈ $9–$15 net profit.

What the number above means
The crisis card above puts the average service revenue lost per abandoned booking at $220. A new client rebooks every few weeks and buys retail on the way out, so one review that costs the first appointment costs a year of visits.
Stop the leak at the review that causes it
One flat fee per item. Upfront fees are refunded after our review if a Google review is not removed within 30 days of payment, or a Yelp review or other-platform item is not removed within 90 days. No claim or form needed. We review and issue it within 5 business days. Pay upon removal: save a card, pay $0 today, and pay $50 more per item only once each removal is documented. No refund term applies because nothing is charged before removal. The platform makes the final decision.

ToS-Compliant Removal Escalations
We identify defamatory, fake, or ToS-violating reviews and drive them through a documented appeal, escalation, and legal-referral pipeline.
Review Generation That Converts
Post-visit review invitations timed to your beauty & salons workflow: automated, personal, and consent-based.
Buyer psychology
When choosing a salon, consumers weigh authentic, high-volume reviews as the deciding signal between you and a competitor a single click away.
Recency wins
Buyers weigh reviews from the last 90 days most heavily. A stale 5-star profile still loses to a competitor with fresh momentum in beauty & salons.
Volume signals safety
Prospects use raw review count as a proxy for legitimacy. Below 25 reviews, most local buyers filter your listing out entirely.
Response builds trust
How you respond to a 1-star review says more than the review itself. Silence reads as guilt, measured accountability reads as leadership.
One bad review, filtered forever
A single unaddressed 1-star can suppress beauty & salons local pack rankings and cut click-through by 30% or more.
Compliance-first
Every workflow, from response to removal filing, is built to keep your Beauty & Salons business on the right side of platform policy and consumer-protection law. We never post fake reviews, incentivize ratings, or violate directory terms.
The rules that apply to you
Every statement below is sourced. Read them before you decide how to handle a review.
Named staff
Google's contributions policy prohibits harassment and personal attacks on individuals. For a salon, reviews that call out one person by name with accusations about their character are filed on that ground with the language quoted.
Source: Google Maps Help
No appointment
Where scheduling software shows no appointment for the reviewer, the genuine-experience ground applies. That record is the single most useful thing to have in hand before opening a case.
Source: Google Maps Help
16 CFR Part 465
Since October 21, 2024 the FTC rule on consumer reviews bans fake reviews, insider reviews presented as customer reviews, and paying for positive or negative reviews, with civil penalties available per violation. For a salon that leaves two lawful moves: earn real reviews, and report the ones that break platform policy.
Source: U.S. Federal Trade Commission, 2024
Policy grounds only
Google's own help documentation says any review can be reported but only content that violates its policies is eligible for removal. That is why a case starts by matching the wording to a named policy: fake engagement, off topic, impersonation, harassment, personal information or conflict of interest.
Source: Google Business Profile Help
Timeline
Nothing here is a promise of removal, because that decision belongs to the platform. Most Google removals take 7–21 days; Yelp and other platforms typically take 60–90 days. Complex cases use a Custom Care Plan with their own timeline.
Day 0 · Free scan and eligibility read
We pull the live review or page from Google and Yelp and Booksy, quote it verbatim, and say which policy it breaks. If nothing breaks a rule we say so and take no fee.
Days 1-3 · Filing with the appointment record
Booking software shows whether the reviewer ever had an appointment. Reviews naming a stylist, artist or trainer with unsupported accusations are filed on the harassment ground instead.
Platform moderation
Google evaluates reports against its prohibited and restricted content policy; most Google removals take 7–21 days. Yelp and other platforms typically take 60–90 days. The platform decides the timing.
Days 10-21 · Appeal where the first report is declined
A declined report is not the end. Google provides an appeal route for reviews it decides to keep, and a second filing that cites a different policy ground and better evidence is often what moves it.
Day 30 (Google) / Day 90 (Yelp & other platforms): refund deadline
Upfront fees are refunded after our review if a Google review is not removed within 30 days of payment, or a Yelp review or other-platform item is not removed within 90 days. No claim or form is required. Refunds are issued within 5 business days of the deadline.
Before you start
The start form takes a few minutes if you have these four things in front of you. Nothing else is required to open the case.
The exact link to the review or page
On Google, open the review, use the three-dot menu and choose Share to copy its direct link. On Yelp, use the share icon under the review. For a harmful page, paste the full URL from the address bar.
Your business name exactly as it appears on the profile
Use the salon name from the Google or Yelp listing that carries the review. Suite-based stylists with their own listing need the case opened on that listing.
Why the item breaks the platform's rules
One or two sentences is enough. Typical grounds for a salon: the reviewer never had a service, the review is about a no-show fee rather than the visit, a former stylist or competitor posted it, or it names a stylist with accusations it does not support.
Your preferred payment option
Pay upfront: $397 for Google, $697 for Yelp, or $497 for another site or harmful link. Pay upon removal: save a card, pay $0 today, and pay $50 more per item only once each removal is documented. No refund term applies because nothing is charged before removal. Pay upfront. If the specific Google review is not removed within 30 days of payment, or a Yelp review or other-platform item is not removed within 90 days of payment, we refund the removal fee to your original payment method. No claim or form needed. We review and issue it within 5 business days.

Read the Beauty & Salons guideLocal review removal pages for beauty & salons in these cities:
All Beauty & Salons city pagesA review describing a service that never happened at your salon fails the genuine-experience rule on Google and Yelp. We document the absence of any appointment or payment record and file on that basis. If the client was in your chair and is unhappy with the result, that is an opinion and stays.
Self-serve removal covers Google at $397, Yelp at $697 and harmful links at $497. Booking platforms each run their own dispute process, and we walk through them with you in a consultation rather than charging for a filing that may have no route.
Reviews from current or former employees violate conflict-of-interest policy on Google and Yelp. When we can show the employment relationship, that is a strong report. You only need to identify the connection, not share personnel files.
Most Google removals: 7–21 days. Yelp and other platforms: typically 60–90 days. The platform decides the timing. Complex cases involving defamation, legal escalation, coordinated attacks, or many items across platforms are quoted individually through the Custom Care Plan, with their own timeline.
No. We only pursue reviews that violate a platform's Terms of Service: fake, off-topic, defamatory, extortive, or conflict-of-interest. Legitimate complaints are addressed via a response strategy, not deletion.
Yes. Every workflow (outreach, invitations, responses, removal appeals) is aligned with the FTC Endorsement Guides and each platform's ToS. We keep audit-ready logs of every action.

Every statistic cited inline on this page is drawn from the following industry sources. Citations remain inline alongside each figure so context stays with the claim.
The policy list a removal report has to cite: fake engagement, off-topic content, impersonation, harassment, personal information and conflicts of interest.
Federal rule effective October 21, 2024. Bans fake or AI-generated reviews, reviews by insiders presented as customers, and buying positive or negative reviews. This is why removal has to be argued on policy grounds instead of countered with bought reviews.
Google's own documentation of the report route: any review can be reported, only reviews that break a content policy are eligible for removal, and the decision is Google's.
Yelp states that reported content is evaluated by its moderators and that the evaluation may take several days, with an email sent when it is done.
