After every attended class or appointment, clients rate the visit, post an optional public review, or send a private note only you see. No awkward conversations in the room — and your booking page collects social proof automatically.
Most studio platforms stop when the client checks out. Hone asks for feedback when the visit ends — by email and in the client portal. Public reviews and star ratings appear on your booking page. Private notes stay between the client and the owner, so people can flag real problems without saying it in front of the room.
Clients manage bookings in the portal before class. They tap their name on the check-in kiosk when they arrive. After class, instructors log the session with attendees already selected — then milestones and feedback requests show up in the client portal automatically.
Clients can skip the public review and send a private note instead. Other clients never see it — only studio owners get it in Tools → Feedback.
Fix the cold room, the music, the front-desk flow — without losing the client.
When clients post a public review, aggregate ratings and quotes show on your public booking page — next to the classes they're about to book.
Social proof where new clients actually decide.
Feedback opens when the visit ends. Hone sends the email; clients can also respond from My bookings → Past. No instructor marking class complete.
The loop runs whether you're teaching or not.
Owners see public reviews and private notes. Assigned instructors see ratings and reviews from classes they taught — useful for coaching, not surveillance.
Transparency where it helps; privacy where it matters.
Same flow for group classes and one-on-one appointments. One feedback inbox for the whole studio.
Consistent follow-up across how you actually operate.
Set how many days clients have to respond. Toggle collection on or off per studio. Turn public reviews on the booking page when you're ready.
Your studio, your policy.
