Cancellation Fees and deposits are a necessity.
I’ve had 30+ cancellations, no shows, or last minute cancels in the last month and a half. Don’t get me wrong, I know things happen, I know things don’t always go as planned and I appreciate anyone who has given me a heads up well before so I could fill the slot. However, not everyone has done that and I’ve once again been trying to figure out how to prevent this.
Currently, if you no show/last minute cancel you have to pay 50% of the service before rescheduling, but this is where I typically get ghosted. I have started asking for deposits again, but unfortunately I have months of clients scheduled that I had put my trust in, so I’m hoping this post helps puts everything into perspective.
