A reader in their mid-60s asked advice columnist Eric Thomas how to handle repeatedly missed hairstylist appointments after another no-show left them considering whether to pay, apologize or switch salons.
Thomas urged the reader to keep the relationship and pay for the reserved time as a good-faith gesture, even if the stylist says the missed slot was not a problem.
He also advised being direct about the memory lapses and setting a new system for future bookings, such as calendar prompts at scheduling or booking a series of appointments at once.
Beyond the salon, Thomas said the reader should adjust personal reminder habits and speak with a doctor about the memory slips for guidance on coping with or treating them.
