hi,

I recently had my first bad review. It's a very dishonest one. The client said my piano lesson was awful. He initially paid for 30 minutes. Towards the end of the 30 minutes, he thought the lesson was so good, he paid for an additional 30 minutes. I have these payments as proof on my bank statement. If my lesson was awful, then why would he extend it? It's a dishonest review.. Id like it taken down. @DustiO

    Hi @Tim_Lyddon and thank you for posting. As a former pro I completely understand how much it stings when you get that first negative review, especially when it doesn't feel warranted — so I am sorry about this! We don't remove or edit reviews (unless they violate TT's Content Policy, which this review would not), but I did see that you responded really well to the review on your profile and explained your experience — this will certainly help other potential customers not only see how you are to work with, but also see that you take your customers' feedback seriously.

    And, if it makes you feel any better, I just checked and that review doesn't even show up until the 5th page on your profile. Screenshot below is page one — all five star reviews!
