Should I reply to every blank five-star review?

Yes, briefly. It shows the book is watched. Keep it to one or two sentences so it does not drown a written review.

Can I ask them to mention their stylist next time?

Not on a blank low rating. On a blank high rating, a request to name the stylist is optional and easy to skip. The thank-you is the point.

How to reply to a salon review with no text

A salon review with no words does not tell you whether it was a cut, a color, or the wait. Thank a high rating. For a low rating, apologize and offer the owner. Do not guess the service.

Five stars and no comment is a thank-you with your name. Do not add a paragraph about the new gloss treatment. Nobody asked.

One star and no comment is an apology and your direct line or the front desk. You do not know what failed. Writing "sorry about the color" confirms a service they did not mention.

Four stars with no text does not need a question about the missing star. Thank them and stop.

Vary the sign-off. If every blank review gets the identical sentence, the profile looks unattended even though you replied.
