FAQ

Q: What if the business has a 'no refund' policy for missed appointments?
A: Politely reference any extenuating circumstances (e.g., sudden illness) and ask if they can make an exception. If not, request a credit for a future appointment instead.

Q: How long should I wait before sending a follow-up email?
A: Wait 3-5 business days for an initial response. If none, send a firm but polite follow-up referencing your first email's date.
