To be a bit annoyed

[PrincessHoneysuckle]

Arranged to have my hair cut by a local mobile hairdresser who I am friends with.Appoinment was 9am and just messaged her to see if still coming and she said yes I'll be there 9.30 I feel that she should have messaged me if she knew she wouldnt be here on time.I hate tardiness tbh.Aibu or would this bug you too?

I would file it under ‘mildly annoying’.

Yes true it's not a massive deal but I'm punctual and if I'd have wanted a 9.30 appointment I'd have arranged it

Sometimes things go wrong. Yes she should have let you know she was running late.

Did she apologise? Would she accommodate you if you let her know last minute that you’ll be half an hour late?

polite to let you know, what happens if you have other things to do ?

My mobile hairdresser friend turned up 45 mins late to do my colour when she knew I only had two hours to get hair coloured before I had to go to work.
I was so annoyed.
She still insisted on doing it and said there was plenty of time but it wasnt left on long enough and the result was less than impressive.
Stil hugely annoyed.

This would annoy me too but I absolutely hate to be late for anything

Did she say sorry? If not then very rude and I’d not use her again

It is annoying that she didn't let you know she was running late. Did she turn up at 9:30?

Maybe she thought the appointment was 9.30 and not 9.00?

I'd be annoyed and wouldn't use her services again.

I'd be a bit annoyed too. I'm nearly always punctual and if I'm not I would message and apologise.

I'd ask the hairdresser about it just to know for next time. She could easily have just muddled up the time. It's not a biggie.

No other appointments today apparently,no apology.

Did you mention it to her?

With no apology that would piss me off. And I wouldn’t book her again.

My mobile hairdresser confirms her appointment by text the day before. I suggest you ask yours to do the same so there is no confusion over the time.

Very unprofessional to roll up late with no prior warning.

No other appointments today apparently,no apology

Her business isn’t going that well then? Is she actually any good?

Rude for her not to apologise or explain

Rude!

I'd cancel and not use her again. I hate people not turning up on time without letting me know, it's extremely rude.

In my experience hairdressers whether in a salon or working for themselves are ALWAYS late. I now book the first appointment of the day with my salon based hairdresser. I arrive early. We start 5-10 minutes later without fail.

It depends on her track record. I often made appointments with a close friend, who is a beautician; for who's services I paid in full for. The first couple of times she was late, I let it slide, as she was a friend and not some random beautician. However, on the third occasion, I commented that my time was as important as hers, she apologised and we continued as normal. She was late for the following two appointments, at which point I stopped using her or referring her to others. The friendship has never been the same, but quite frankly, it spoke volumes to be about her level of respect towards me as a friend and a paying customer.
