@Laura2592 actually in thinking more, I think you've missed an opportunity... the response goes something like this:
"Dear xxx, this sounds like just what I've been waiting on! Our town's only stylist passed last month, bless her heart, beauty school just doesn't make them like they used to and some of the gals and I have been wondering where we'll be able to go for a wash and set now that Betty's gone and frankly the roots around here have gone a bit mad! Do you think you could come a day or two early, I'm sure I could get some extra clients over here for you and maybe we could set up a recurring thing, the octogenarians around here would be really happy to see you. LMK! Thanks!!!
ok, no, don't do that, but maybe...
