Turned up late to hair appointment and stylist was away

I booked a hair appointment t dir today. I turned up an hour late as I wrote the wrong g time in my diary. My stylist wrote it on a post it note. When I got there the other stylist looked annoyed and said my stylist was on holiday but she could do me anyway. I said no I prefer my usual one. So I have been given another appointment for 2 weeks time with my own stylist.

Not sure how that happened. It was a bit embarrassini was looking forward to seeing mystylist as we get on well and have a laughs.

Fascinating, do tell what happened next?

Hey the OP isnt mumofonealoneandwell. She in fact does some great posts and doesn't deserve the criticism that some posters on here are directing at her. One poster in particular seems weirdly preoccupied with her.

Are these great posts in the room with us?

Agreed. She isn't even here to defend herself.

This is a great story. Tell it again!

Really made me laugh. Thank you 🤩

There's some very unpleasant behaviour on this thread. You might not like the OP. You might not like another poster who has nothing to do with this thread and isn't even here to defend herself but that's no justification for the unpleasant comments.

I’m getting front extensions on Monday to fill out my menopausal hair loss; happy to start a thread if anyone is interested. Hoping for a mariachi band to burst through the door.

I would actually be interested how that goes 😁, same issue!

I made a doctor's appointment, having waited three weeks to see if the problem would self resolve. I got an appointment the next week, but by then I felt better so I cancelled it. The end.

You were an hour late and in that hour she left and went on holiday?

No she told me at the last appointment , she was going to be absent so I'd have to work around when she was not at the salon. I then said, Kenny, adelady, do my hair.If you're not around, and she said she can so she booked it, and I mistakenly thought that she'd booked it for when she was next going to be around and when I turned up the other ladies said she was absent.So I just went back home again

You said Kenny, adelady, do my hair? What does that even mean?

Can people be decent ? Mocking someone and making fun of someone is not nice. You do not know what difficulties she has either.

Turning up on time is decent. An hour late is obnoxious.

Wre · 05/06/2026 17:05

Very unfortunate, hope that you get another appointment.

Teawithfrenchtoast · 05/06/2026 17:10

So is this the same hairdresser that did a patch test on you in February and you ended up itchy and wanted them to be shut down, but then said it was actually shingles?!

Two weeks will go faster than you think, and you'll soon see the stylist you like again.

I agree with that but that's not where the mickey taking is largely centred. My main point though was the mocking of another poster who isn't even on the thread and there is no excuse for that.

Are you sure you didn't go via the pub?

I assume she meant 'Can another lady...'

@Easttoday all your posts are being deleted, did you know?

I also recognise this username and think there might be some issues at play.

She is spectacularly self-obsessed and has a very odd approach to life.

And then a mariachi band burst into the salon playing music and confetti canons were shot in the air, whilst looking up at the confetti you also noticed a pig flying

I think it's a spell.....

I once arrived on time at my hairdresser's and she was just leaving.
She seemed surprised to see me and I was surprised that she was surprised.
She said "Oh, you've decided to come then"
I said "Yes, I thought I would because I've got an appointment with you"
She said "But you cancelled this morning"
I said "No I didn't"
She said "But you rang me"
I said "No I didn't"
So she had a look at her computery thing and saw she had a client with the same surname as me who hadn't turned up that morning. So it must have been her who rang in. Which should have been a clue. Also I've been going there since 2020 so she knows me very well, and I have a fairly strong Northern accent and I live in the South East (I work hard at maintaining it by going back up there once a month for a top up)

Oh how we laughed. I doubt either of us will ever forget it.
