No-show
policy template

A no-show is not a late cancellation. It deserves its own wording and its own escalation.

Most salons fold the no-show into the cancellation policy and then feel unable to act on it. Separating them makes the consequence clearer to the client and easier for you to apply.

No-show policy

A no-show is an appointment missed without any notice. It costs us the time and the client who could have had it.

· First no-show — we will reach out to reschedule, no charge.
· Second no-show — 100% of the service price, and future bookings require a card on file.
· Third — we will ask for payment in full when booking.

If you are running late, message us. Anything up to 15 minutes we will usually work around.

Making it work

Escalate rather than punish

A first-time miss is usually a genuine mistake. Escalation across three strikes feels fair, and fairness is what gets a policy accepted.

Say what "late" means

Most disputes are about lateness rather than absence. Name the number of minutes.

Card on file is the lever

The second-strike card requirement changes behaviour more than any wording. Set it up so it is automatic rather than a conversation.

Watch who repeats

Chronic no-shows are usually a very small group. Your client records show who they are.

The next client who calls
shouldn’t reach voicemail.
