Hair Ghosted by hair salon, or??

[Begonia]

Wee bit of salon drama.

I went to a home-based salon last year for 2 haircuts. It went pretty well. The cuts were decent quality, and I left a 20% tip.

I coworker convinced me to try her stylist and raved about her abilities, so I gave her a go for 4 haircuts. I don't know why I stayed for the 4th as the cuts weren't great, and the last one was a disaster.

Wanting to go back to the original lady after a year, I texted her. She said she had a few appts later in the month but nothing this week (what I was hoping for). I asked for those dates, and nothing. I gave it a few more days and texted again saying I'm still keen but if she's fully booked, I understand but please let me know. Nothing.

I'm ok with her possibly being at capacity for a client base, but does anyone find it odd that she's ghosting me? Odd way to run a business? Did I do something wrong by moving on for a year? It seemed inappropriate to make an exit announcement, that's kinda weird to do so. I wasn't sure the new salon would work out. And... it didn't.

Anyone feel like giving me a cut? Looking rough over here.

Okay. She finally replied and all the appts in September are now gone.
I'm gonna thank her for replying but move on. Getting a weird vibe.

I would move on too as it does not seem right that she provided with some dates, no further communications over a period of time has passed, to reply the appointments had gone, based on the information you posted in your original post.

100% all the way @dk168!
Not sure what, if anything went wrong but the Universe is pointing me in another direction.

I have strong oriental straight hair and a double crown, and it is very difficult to cut well.

Hence I have been with the same stylist and cutter since 2006 at the same salon close to where I used to work.

The salon where she is based has 2 other stylists whom she recommended as her backup when she was on holidays and maternity leave.
