True, nobody owes anybody anything….

Same goes on the other side of the fence, when a client cancels last minute. They don’t owe the provider anything. (Although, they may not get a second chance with the same person.) As for the third cancellation, you should move on to a different provider is the common tired comment often stated when a cancellation happens more then once on this board.

On-the-other-hand, suppose in running a business in working with people (and there is no other business so up close and personal as what providers do), a provider follows a code of ethics in how to conduct herself, in this case towards booking customers and follow through. Does she have a plan and does she stick to it? For instance, a more desirable and lucrative client comes along same time, enough motivation to cancel last minute with first client, even if it has happened several times. So, then it becomes habit and works for short term gain, but loses in the long term gain. Everyone should take notice that customers feel important and don’t like to be snubbed more then once. If they are, they’ll likely tell others, as this OP will PM her name.* (It's human nature.)  

Yes, life does happen and it could be health reasons and emergencies that require more attention, so a gesture in a cancellation can be in a discount or extra time next time around, or visa versa, from a customers’ perspective a cancellation fee paid on next visit. Both scenarios make for better business practice that will benefit the provider more in the long term then the short term. And in the case of the customer cancelled last minute, a gesture of compensation can make the customer feel valued as the provider recognizes his importance. (And, for simplification, from both sides, talking about respectful, reliable and honest types here.)

Win some/lose some, such is the ebb and flow in life. Those that follow a flighty how I feel/what’s in it for me short term approach and lack the discipline of a long term value the profession and the customer that is the first in line—I wonder which approach will be most financially beneficial down the road? I bet the more disciplined value the customer long term plan (go the coupon route in fairness if last minute cancellation) wins out over the short term all I can get flighty behavior.

A behavior that is disciplined towards keeping appointments and being on time is so unseen in advertising and reviews (note: Positive reviews are after the fact), but time will tell who is more professional then others over time. (That's why discussion boards may be just as valuable as reviews.) Those that have their act together deserve the very best.

I had been wanting to see a certain provider since last March.  I didn't know why I never schedule a date but I do now.  Up until say, June she was working for an agency based in Rhode Island...she isn't with them anymore.

almost three months ago I schedule an appointment with her but a couple days before she had to cancel.  About a month ago I rescheduled and she was happy to hear from me again.  The morning of appointment she had to cancel (#2) due to a family thing.   Early last week I rescheduled yet again for today.  Less than an hour before I was going to get on road she emails me to cancel yet again (#3).

I think its time to move on.  Lol. On each cancellation she has only saud a simple "I'm sorry"  there's been no offer made of extra time or extra fun or a discount for the cancellations. (Other members here have mentioned that a lot of providers will do that when they need to cancel on a client).  I fully understand that life hapoens but three consecutive cancellations??

I live in SE Massachusetts and she is a very well reviewed provider.  Today, if she hadn't cancelled, I would have been driving about 90 minutes to meet with her.  I'm glad she emailed when she did.

Guys, I'm nit saying don't see her but I am saying you gave been warned.  If you'd like to know who it is, pm me

Thanks for reading!

All I will say is this happened to me twice with two well reviewed ladies, in both instances, it was our first meeting.  Once I met each of them on the 4th attempt, it was awesome!  Sometimes its better to wait.  Just my experience.

Not sure where in SE Mass, but i'm in CT and can go to RI if needed depending on the day and time OR we can meet near the casinos in CT. And I won't cancel.....

If you like mature (and very reliable) ladies, I am a frequent visitor to the area.  My current planned trip to Braintree starts the night after Thanksgiving, until the following Wednesday.  PM me if you are interested in meeting.

I dont think since she gave you notice she owes you a discount or anything extra. Shit does happen on both sides of the fence.
I do think after 1 and 2 cancellations its a shame on you deal and definitely strike three.
too many honeys out there  Id say move on!!  Owe you though??? I dont think so. Its a nice gesture but should not be expected since she gave you notice.
