Deposits are implemented to make sure you hold up your end of the bargain by actually showing up to the appointment. Was your deposit taken because you cancelled last minute, wanted to reschedule...? I'm not calling you a liar, but there are two sides to every story and I wonder what her's is.

There are probably so many potential customers hitting them up, it doesn't matter.
I am not discounting that some providers are honest, but I don't think that is the majority.
