How these techs are ranked

We read every Google review from the past 12 months for the nail salons we list around Central Coast, and counted the five-star reviews that name each nail tech. More clients saying a tech's name, unprompted, ranks them higher. Nobody pays to be listed or ranked.

Featured techs work at salons that are our clients. They are shown first, and their # is still their rank from reviews.
