To just stop going to my nail salon without telling them?

I have been going to the same nail salon for about four months now. Before this, I had been with my previous lady for 5 years.

I really don’t like this new salon, but it’s the only one in my area. The builder gel is never even and the colour selection is crap. AIBU to just cancel my appointment that I have standing, and just stop going? I’m going to do them myself now because it’s going to work out being cheaper

I always thought you were, I always have in the past! Just as a matter of courtesy

Salons dont care you either turn up or you dont.

If you want to think of it this way, your loyalty was to the previous lady, not to the salon.

They really won’t notice or care.

That's a kind thought, OP. But I don't think you need to tell them or explain yourself.

just don’t go anymore

i can’t imagine anyone batting an eyelid

Is it a cash only tax dodge type of place? They have bigger fish to fry, don’t worry about it.

Huh, you're meant to tell salons if you stop going?
How self important are you!
I doubt they'll care.

They won't think twice about it & are used to it. All salons are. I had a wonderful hairdresser for about a year but one time she couldn't fit me in for about a month so I found someone else who is cheaper & quicker. I felt a bit guilty as I really liked her & would walk quickly past her salon so she wouldn't see me! I used to also get my nails done by a lovely lady but I've also started doing them myself as it's so much cheaper.

Honestly, these places are used to people moving on for whatever reason

You are over thinking this. You don’t have to give an explanation, especially after only 4 months

KimuraTan · 02/12/2025 15:55

You owe them no loyalty if they’re rubbish. Cancel and find someone else. I wouldn’t pay to have badly done nails.
