I would like to weigh in here as well, because this thread started over a year ago, and nothing has changed.
I saw her last July, and everything was great. She actually even worked me in with a few hours notice, as another provider had to cancel (but that provider reached out and let me know hours before the appointment, which is the key difference).
A couple of months later, I reached out and booked her again, a week in advance. Confirmed the day before and she responded, she sent the hotel info the morning of. She did have a couple of logistical issues, so there were more texts exchanged, the last one 45 minutes before the appointment. As far as I knew, we were still on. Get to the hotel and no response. Stayed nearby for an hour or so trying to get a response and just nothing. I followed up the next day and she said she had a medical emergency.
I gave her the benefit of the doubt (actually, I had even read this thread before the first booking, so gave her the benefit of the doubt twice) and had booked with her for today. We had confirmed yesterday and then just no response today, completely wasted my time all over again.
She says "life happens" but not two out of three times. Even with a medical emergency, she could send one text (based on my follow up with her, she was not unconcious or going through a major trauma). She just ghosts completely.
It's true that she does not ask for a deposit, but I'm taking time off of work and sitting around waiting for a response that's not coming, it's so disrespectful.
I'm sure that she does get lots of texts, but other providers manage it, not all of them have assistants. Focus on who you're seeing that day and at least let them know if something changes. All the new inquiries can wait.
Some other providers have not responded when I tried to book, and that's not a problem. But I've never had a NCNS from any other provider. They can all manage to at least provide an update, but she apparently can't. She's got nothing but excuses here and she's blaming other guys somehow for all of this. She complains about the male time wasters, then she should just focus on the ones reaching out appropriately, especially if they are expecting to see her that day.
