This I'm sure is a question that opens a huge can of worms! The last few years I have been quite strict with my clients & my policy for cancellations is simple- 24hrs notice is required otherwise I charge for the full appointment. I just had a text from a client who said they can't make there 10am appointment this morning but they will pay double next time there in. Last week I had a similar thing with another client but she told the receptionist she has to take her mum to hospital for an appointment, so I think I won't charge on this occasion- the receptionist say's why not as she would have had notice for the hospital app and she called in on the day!! Its so hard, sometimes I have pangs of guilt & think I'm being a little harsh. At the same time my time is precious, time is money etc etc & I wouldn't dream of cancelling a hair/beauty app short notice!! What do you all do???
