How it actually plays out, told the way a customer would tell it
Six illustrative walkthroughs of exactly how a cancellation gets handled — the wins and the honest misses, not just the highlight reel. Names and numbers are illustrative; the behavior shown is real. Every one of them is a win for the shop, a win for the customer, and we only make money when both of those are true.

The shave gets discounted deeper than the haircut, because it's the harder sell on its own.
No false promisesCloses clean
No confusion, no lingering offer, no surprise no-show.
Zero exceptionsA stop is a stop
Not a smaller list. Not an exception for a bigger offer. Just off, until he says otherwise.
