How votes and reviews work

Every vote is a review. You rate your appointment and can tap what stood out, like a clean workspace or gentle hands. Vote once per category, every day.

Write a few words and your review shows on their profile after our team checks it. When 10 clients point out the same quality, the Braid Artist earns a Standards Honor and a certificate.

How winners are chosen

Nominees get on the ballot two ways. Braid Artists who join are placed automatically in the categories that match their styles. Anyone can also nominate a listed Braid Artist, and the BraidingFest team approves nominations before they appear.

70% client votes and 30% judges. One person, one account. Finalists must hold the Health and Safety Essentials certification. Sharing your vote link is encouraged; giveaways or discounts in exchange for votes are not allowed. Sudden spikes and shared devices are reviewed before finalists are named.
