40 minutes wait for an appointment where you are on time for is NOT running late. THAT is a fault of in house scheduling and not imposing penalties for anyone that would cause them to "run that late". You don't punish on time, reliable customers for the misdeeds of other mongers. If someone is late for their appointment....you let them run out the clock on their dime. Ten minutes late....50 minute session. Twenty minutes late.....40 minute session. You don't cut into someone elses time or make them wait for the faults of others. Just poor business sense.
Scheduling is always overbooked in case someone is late or cancels. Similar to Dr. appointments. I ALWAYS have to wait whether or not I’m early, on time or slightly late and it’s not a short wait. Typically 30 min to an hour.

My best chances for on time appointments is usually when it’s not busy (obviously) but it’s difficult to time that as well.

Definitely don’t feel like it was bait and switch. That’s why just I said I got hosed. Lol. I get these busy amp places must get tons of jerkoffs that make appointments and don’t show with out properly cancelling. I also realize I don’t have a close relationship with this spa as a North Jersey guy. Just sucked driving a hour to see a smoke show and I get …. Not what I was coming for. Other problem was I didn’t get to see the mms. Monica opened the door and based on the language barrier, she only said she was available when I asked who else was available. Anyway, I had no bargaining power and didn’t feel like going fishing at another place when I was on a schedule. I wouldn’t write off this place. I will make sure I speak to the mms and have an idea how to get around the snafu next time.

sorry brother, i feel for ya but my experiences have been the same…202 206 is NOT reliable since it gets so much traffic, gotta let them know it’s unacceptable by walking out and never coming back. Reiki palm is nearby with solid talent.

Is Reiki closed temporarily for renovations? Thank you.

Talk to Bella. She was out of the store most the day. She will make it right for you.

Please, Amy was the Queen of the Bait and Switch when she ran her Reiki in Staten Island.

Waiting that long is crazy. Not walking when she wasn't what you expected is just as crazy. Walk next time. Hold these places accountable.

Lastly it is misleading pics if in the pics she doesn't have a belly and when you get there she does. If she doesnt look like i would say 85% like the pics. I consider it false advertising.

There is no back up plan for Baby at 202-206, other than Angela at GDS, 20 miles away and probably 40 minutes in traffic.
Chances are you are going to have to wait to see her there also.

You either wait to see Baby, you leave, or you settle for someone inferior, and then regret that you didn't wait to see Baby.
Regarding back up plans and the subjective quality of alternatives, in my opinion, there are good alternative near by including: A New Day, Reiki, and Jade.
Keep in mind that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and folks have their preferences and biases.

lol! You need to meet Baby.

I've seen every girl at ANDW, and most the girls at Reiki. They are good, but with the exception of Jessica and Vivian, they are old, and certainly not fresh.

Monica, Alice and Luck, yeah they are ok, but even I would rather see Vivian, Jessica and Phoenix. Baby though, she's in a league of her own.

That sucks. Really no excuse since you had an appointment. If some one gets there 40 min late, they should get someone who's not booked and honor the following appointments with Baby.

Agreed - Baby is now on my list.
