In this episode, I'm sharing the exact script I use to get 5-star Google reviews from my salon clients — without awkward convos, begging, or bribing. It's the same strategy I teach inside my coaching and education programs, and you can literally copy + paste it into your texts, software, or Timely templates.

If you've been struggling to build your salon's online reputation, or you're ready to attract more red-loving, copper-craving clients who already trust you before they even DM — this one's for you.

Let's be real — no-shows suck. They cost you time, money, and sanity. In this solo episode of the Colour Kristina Talks Podcast for Hairdressers, I'm sharing the exact strategy that helped me eliminate no-shows completely for four years straight. It starts with one simple rule: no deposit = no booking.

Here's what we're covering in this episode:

• Why no-shows are more than just lost income — they hurt your momentum
• How I introduced a $200 booking fee for new clients (and stuck to it!)
• Why I now charge every client a 30% deposit, even regulars
• How TimelyPay makes this process easy, fair, and automated
• What happened when I got bold with boundaries — and how my dream clients responded
• Why this works whether you're a freelancer, chair renter, or salon owner
