What if I am late for my appointment?
Log in late to Zoom will simply limit the time of your consultation, thus lessening time for Shirley to collect all necessary information and time to address your questions and concerns. Depending if there is a client booked immediately after, Shirley will try her best to accommodate and allow the full consult time especially if lateness is due to unforeseeable events. However, if there is an appointment booked after yours, your consult will end on time so the following client is not delayed.
