Net Promoter Score for Salons
A simple way to measure the health and growth of your
business using real guest feedback
One number that aligns your team, improves your service, and drives long-term growth
Most salons track bookings and revenue.
Very few track the one number that explains both.
At A Moment’s Peace, we use a single, consistent measure of guest experience to guide how we operate, improve, and grow. That number is Net Promoter Score.
Net Promoter Score measures how likely your guests are to recommend your salon.
Every guest is asked one question:
“How likely are you to recommend us to a friend or family member?”
They respond from 0 to 10.
From that one answer, every guest is categorized into three groups.
Customer Segments
Promoters (9–10)
Loyal guests who refer, leave reviews, and support your growth
Passives (7–8)
Satisfied but not committed, often overlooked but full of opportunity
Detractors (0–6)
Unhappy or underwhelmed, requiring attention before they disengage
What is a good score?
According to Bain & Company:
- Above 0 is good
- Above 20 is favorable
- Above 50 is excellent
- Above 80 is world class
