I don’t have this problem. Find a new salon or start tipping more.

I never believe them when they say "Can you wait a few minutes." It's always an hour.

What I hate is going with another person, even with appointments, and the shop starting one while making the other person wait. The idea is to do it at the same time.

My salon doesn’t open until 10 am on weekends but let’s me come in at 8:30. Later in the day, they run so far behind.

OP, this is so true. I never make appointments anymore and always just walk in. They either take me immediately or I wind up waiting the same as I would if I had an appointment. Walk-in is the way to go.

I agree - I hate it. Or tell me that it will be 30 minutes - don't have me sit in the chair and wait for 30 when you make me think it will be 5-10. I'll be more likely to come back and patronize you if you are reliable.
