Contest: USA, win 1 of 21 L'Oréal Prize Packs

Local Guides are always on top of the latest trends and style, so we’ve teamed up with L'Oréal to bring you a unique contest opportunity that’s 21 times the fun! From October 31 — November 17, Local Guides in the United States have an opportunity to win 1 of 21 L'Oréal prize packs by writing high-quality reviews on Google Maps. Enter now.

 

Writing reviews on Google Maps helps others to discover the places — including salons — that are right for them.  

Got an amazing haircut lately? Treat yourself to some fantastic products? Tell us all about it — but first, check out these tips for writing reviews of salons on Google Maps:

    • Details, details, details. Share details that are specific and relevant to the salon you’re reviewing, and describe what other salon patrons are likely to experience. Are you able to make appointments online? Are beverages complimentary?
    • Be honest and respectful. You should always review your own experience and your own experience only. Explain why you liked or disliked the place. If writing about a less-than-stellar experience, share what could have gone better so the salon owner (who reads the review) may improve it for your — or another Local Guide’s — future visit.

 

  • What else does the salon have to offer? Salons offer more than just a place to get a great cut or color treatment. Do they offer hot shaves or paraffin treatments? Are they the only place in your neighborhood where you can find your professional hair products? Share those details and name those brands so others looking for that information can easily find them when searching in Google Maps.

Enter now.

 

The grand prize winner will receive a $100 L'Oréal salon gift card & $500 in full-size L'Oréal Professionnel, Matrix, Mizani, Redken and Pureology products including:

 

Twenty first prize winners will receive $160 in full-size L'Oréal Professionnel, Matrix, Mizani, Redken and Pureology products including:

Below are some FAQs about this contest opportunity.

 

The grand prize winner gets a L'Oréal salon treatment; if I’m the winner, how do I know if there is a salon near me?

With the winner’s permission, we will put the winner in touch with L'Oréal to make arrangements for finding a salon near their home.

 

If I win, may I give the prize to a friend?

If you win one of the contest prizes, you may give the contest prize to a friend or family member but you may not sell or exchange the contest prize for money.

 

Do the reviews have to be for L'Oreal salons?
No; Local Guides are encouraged and will be judged on high-quality reviews written on Google Maps for any salons and places anywhere in the world. 

 

I don’t live in the United States and I want a contest. How do I get one?

I am all about this contest!  But does this mean that someone is going to review every review made (within the dates) by every person who enters the contest??  That's a lot of review reviewing....

 

I hope this will encourage some good, quality reviews.  It's nice to win prizes while being helpful. 🙂

Hi @KF. Glad to hear you're excited about this contest! You can check out the contest rules but "Google will score each Entry and calculate the cumulative score over all the Entries submitted from each Entrant during the Contest Period. Scoring will be determined by an algorithm with human oversight, judging reviews on the following criteria:

  • Spelling & grammar - is your review easy to read and understand?
  • Length - not too long, not to short.
  • Relevance - does your review content make sense for the place you're writing about?
  • Usefulness - will your review help others decide where to go?
  • Originality - how creative or original is your review style?
  • Capturing the spirit of the place - how well do you describe the atmosphere?
  • Writing style - how well written is your review?

Each Entry will be scored based on the above criteria and Prizes(s) will be awarded as described further below.

 

So the short answer is quality DOES matter and we will be reviewing reviews! 🙂

Wow! Great contest cause review is really much more important like photos. It helps people to know about places as quick queries. Sometimes actual & neat review saves time, money & other things. Interesting matter of this contest is the winners prize. Funny. Good Luck local guides.

Are Google Guides supposed to only be female?
I do not underastand a contest like this, especialy from Google, only aimed at women.

 

Do you ever have contests aimed at both men and women?

Hi @SteevenP, the team is always looking for new ways to offer fun perks and benefits to our Local Guides. We realize that not every perk or contest prize will work for everyone, and you're never under any obligation to enter a contest if the prize does not interest you. With the holidays coming up, you are welcome to gift the prize to someone who may appreciate the products and treatment, if you're a winner, of course. 

 

Some recent contests have included prizes like Cabify credit, Ricoh Theta 360 camera and a Chromebook Flip, just to name a few.

I am totally underwhelmed.

Google has gone from encouraging great world photography to offering prizes for the best description of a visit to the local barber!
