sorry. its just a rant. how do you guys deal with no shows? it infuriates me. like why do people just assume that because i work from my home that its ok to just not show up. none of my current clients do it, its just when i get new, especially when they are people who i have never met or werent referred by someone else. i have bills to pay and i would much rather spend my time with my daughter but i put time aside to do nails and make money. i feel it would at least be decent to send me a text and say you cant make it, even if you simply spaced it. i space things all the time. but when i send you a message to see if your coming when its past your appointment and you dont EVER respond... thats just rude. i understand if something came up or something happened and your not able to get to your phone but shoot me a text when you can to at least have the courtesy to let me know you are ok. its even more annoying when someone no call no shows and then messages you a week later asking to reschedule without even apologizing or explaining. i usually will reschedule a no show one more time, after that i wont. unless they had a good reason. ugh. i am just so annoyed right now. pregnancy horomones arent helping. i could go on.
actually i will.
i scheduled someone on tuesday night at 4 and her friend at 630 (both in their 30's so should be reasonable adults, right?) BOTH dont show. so i get a text from one of them on thursday, asking me ot schedule her two daughters for friday, again, no apology, no explanation. so i schedule her two daughters and they show up friday, do both of their nails, and she asks in between their sets if i can squeeze her in that night because they are going out of town saturday. so, even though i told her i wont be done with current clients til after nine, she says she will take it. so when she comes to pick up her daughters she tells me she will just pay for both of them and hers when she comes that night. so i get done with my other clients and let her know i am ready for her, its like 845, then 9 rolls around and i havent heard anything, so i send her another text to see if she is coming and i get nothing... then at 11 she sends me a text and only says "sorry, can i just bring you the money for my girls before we leave in the morning at 7". so i agree and say thats fine.
next morning comes and i get up before my kiddo so i can take the money without waking her up. she NEVER came. so since i know she is on vacation i decide to be decent and wait til they get back (her daughters told me when they would be back). to the next week rolls by and i wait til the following tuesday to message her and ask her to get the money to me, and if it would be easier for her to transfer it. she told me she doesnt have the same bank as me (even though her first appointment with me she paid with her card and it is the same bank as me) so she said she would bring it by that night at 8. we had plans that night but i made sure we were home by 8 for her to give it to us. she never came. and again no call no text nothing. then she texts me a few days later and says she will bring it by that night at 8... and did the same thing. i finally had had enough and decided i didnt care if she flippen brang it ever. then a week and a half later she shows up on my doorstep, RINGS the doorbell at 1130 pm. and has the cash. like are you kidding me. she didnt even tell me she was coming, knows i have a baby, so why she rang the doorbell. like BLAHHHHHH and now she wants me to reschedule her.
