missed my hair appointment - dilemma

[UsedToBeAPaxmanFan]

Hope someone can help.me here. I realised on Saturday afternoon that I had missed my hair appintmrnt that morning for a full colour and cut. Usually takes about 3 hours and costs £100.

I phoned and apologised, and have managed to rebook for an evening next week. However, I'm conscious that my hairdresser lost a mornings work as it's not the sort of salon where people drop in on the off chance.

I know I should pay for the missed appointment, but I really can't afford the extra money.

So, I was thinking i could pay for the missed appointment and cancel my new appointment. I'll have to put up with roots coming through, but it serves me right. Or would that mess the hairdresser around even more?

Up to the salon's policy (my salon would charge for a forgotten appt). But if they have no policy, go for your haircut as planned and give her a massive tip by way of apology
