Wish we could post this about admires...

Bear in mind that there's a huge difference between a cancellation with notice and a flat NCNS, or as this fellow puts it, ghosting. The No Call No Show is, to me, second only to an assault and robbery in complete disrespect for the guy (or provider.)
Cancellations and postponements can happen for a billion reasons, and usually only happen once unless the guy has a demanding job, that sort of thing. The excuse might be suspect or just goofy, but at least there's some kind of notice. In the two occasions in six years that I've had to ask for a postponement, both times were in advance, and both times were because of an upset stomach that had not gone away within an hour of the appointment. In both those cases, I've also offered -- without being asked -- a $40.00 apology fee.
The NCNS is usually repeated from the same provider, such as this Kylie who does it habitually. It's a mind-set that needs to be called out. Other guys are warned with the call-out, whether or not they choose to heed those warnings. With enough of those call-outs and hits to their reputations, a very few such providers will do some self-evaluation and change their ways. (For the record, I don't know Kylie at all, but I do know to research providers before making an appointment.)
