Beauty salon related - I'm not in the wrong here am I?

Booked in for a lash tint and lift tomorrow morning 8am, first appointment of the day. Brilliant, very excited. Heard the news fairly late on today so rang the salon 5 minutes before they shut (and before I'd read anything other than a headline) asking if it was still on. They said yes. I've since read the detail and it's fairly clear that close contact treatments are not allowed to resume tomorrow. I phoned the salon back knowing they're shut and have an answer machine informing them (nicely) that given the guidance I won't be in tomorrow and I'd rebook when things opened up again. The owner has phoned me back and given me an absolute barrage of abuse, telling me I'm wrong, the appointment can go ahead, I need to pay due to my late cancellation (not written anywhere), telling me I'm stupid, a sheep, and that her salon is spotlessly clean.

I really, really do understand her frustration but...I'm not wrong here am I? Obviously won't be rebooking either way given her beautiful character assassination of me Grin but she's kind of made me doubt myself!

I am actually of the opinion that opening pubs but beauty remaining closed is totally wrong, but equally, I am prepared to follow the rules to enable life to get back to normal as soon as possible.

Yeah you are totally in the right, I had a lift and tint booked for tommorow too, they rang to cancel today, disappointing for the salon but it is what it is.

You're right and I'd be following that up with the new guidance sent to her at the very least.

No you are right my salon called to cancel my eyebrow apt tomorrow Sad

Thank you! She was so aggressive and sure she was right it really did make me doubt myself. Ah well, I'll wait and find somewhere else to go when I'm allowed.

Yep as others have said you're totally in the right. Defo find another salon OP. My eyebrow lady very quickly rearranged my appointment to 15th Aug and just said how much she missed seeing me!
