I've been regularly going to the same beauty salon for the past 18 months. Every three weeks I have been going to have my eyebrows waxed and tinted. A youngish girl owns the salon and as I have been a regular for 18 months, we are very friendly with each other.
Two months ago, I made sure I had my appointment for Xmas (next Wednesday) booked in as the salon gets busy at this time of year.
Yesterday, I messaged the salon to say I'm sorry but I will have to cancel the brow appointment as the hospital had just been in touch to say they were able to offer me an outpatients appointment the same day as my brow appointment. A cancellation had come up. I apologised to the beautician and acknowledged that next week is a busy week but explained the hospital appointment was important to me.
I got a message soon after saying "okay, thanks for letting me know"
Feeling a bit guilty, and sensing that she may have been a bit miffed with me, I quickly replied offering to pay something towards the cost of my brows if she couldn't fill my appointment.
She replied "thank you, I will let you know if the appointment doesn't get filled"
I get that my appointment is during a busy week but I did give her a weeks notice to cancel. Was I being too generous in offering to pay or did I do the right thing?
