Would also like to know how the ladies handle the back to back bookings. Say it take you 30min to shower and get ready for the next client. The 2nd guy already lost out 30min. What then?

I tell my client that it depends on my next client and whether he can reschedule. I then contact my next client and inform him of the situation, but assure him that his booking takes preference and he can decide for me by keeping the time he booked or moving the booking to a later time or rescheduling!

the important thing is that you respect the initial second booking. High five to you for having etiquette

It's good manners Chunky! First come first serve. We also lose out though if client number 2 doesn't pitch anyway so I tell client number 1 that I'll let him know if 2 doesn't come. If he can, then he returns.

Ladies, say you have two hourly bookings back to back, but the first client wants to extend the booking and offers you your fee plus a little something extra. Do you cancel the second booking or honour by declining the first client?



I am afraid I would disappoint you as I always honour appointments.

YCF...Just curious...The flip side...
How would you or anyone else handle it,if you are the "next"client, and you get the call?
Fortunately, most of my bookings I have been the first client of the day...

Agree...The next client should get the "first right of refusal"...so to speak!

If I get the call 15 to 30 minutes beforehand I'll be cool. Sure I'll be a bit upset because theres one in the hole to be shot off , but all in all I'll understand.

Its just not cool to let me know plans have changed when I'm at the gate. Or worst, not call at all.

Once had a lady cancel because the guy extended to an all nighter. I was a bit annoyed but she made it up to me by offering me a free session to make amends. Hard to stay angry after that.
