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

[ApplePie16]

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

My parents taught me to always defer to a man, that female self-confidence is odious, that no one likes intelligence, and that university ‘wasn’t for the likes of us’. Guess what? I grew out of thinking they were right.

You don’t need to apologise. Cancelling it is enough.

God no. You're a customer, you can shop where you like. It's a free market and its not an act of charity.

Where do you draw the line with this etiquette? Do I need to tell Sainsburys I intend doing my regular shop in Morrisons from now on?

Think you've misunderstood OP. It's one situation where it's fine (dare I say, normal?) to ghost them.

No need for that.

I have been going to my current salon for about 8 years. The woman who does my nails is setting up on her own and i am going to go to her. I won't be saying anything to the salon i go to.

I think if you'd been going to the same woman for years, you might give a bit of an explanation and goodbye, but not if you've only been going a few months and don't really have a relationship with them anyway.

That’s just weird. You’re being very weird.

Maybe if you’ve been seeing the same person for something for several years, as you’ve almost developed so sort of “professional friendship” so you’d say something about not coming back. But not for every odd place you go for some sort of treatment or activity. You just don’t go back. You don’t need to announce it. You’re being really weird.

The only place that ever noticed me stopping going there was a chain hairdresser. They hammered me with texts

If anything it’s bad manners,

I once found out that my friend sorted her laundry by person rather than colour. Her mother had taught her that was what you did and she was amazed that nobody else thought it was the right way.

That's business Kid!
