Don’t trust model appointments - cancels last minute to get you to pay more, NO REFUND
This review is just for the model appointments offered at a discount, not the in home service, which I haven’t tried.
While i previously had good experiences, I can no longer recommend booking model appointments with Persimmon. My latest appointment was prepaid, as all their model appointments are. It was rescheduled by Persimmon a few days out, then even more last minute it was cancelled with no refund, only a credit.
When I went to rebook using the credit, I discovered all other available appointments in a similar timeframe cost $100 more! Having scheduled around a trip, waiting three more weeks didn’t work for me. I politely requested that since the abrupt cancellation was on their end, they credit me the additional $100 so I could book an equivalent appointment in the same week as the prepaid appointment they cancelled last minute without a refund.
They refused in a message stating they “valued my support and loyalty” (just not enough to provide the service I prepaid for at any time in the same week I paid for it) and suggested I book the available appointment three weeks away rather than offering an appointment that would still work with my travel plans, even though I had already explained that was not a suitable alternative. They still did not refund my money!
They already raised the price of model appointments by 50% and they try to upsell when you’re in the chair. Now I suspect they are canceling the cheaper model appointments at the last minute to try to get you to book appointments costing an additional $100 by leaving you stuck—either you don’t get your treatment on schedule, you pay an extra $100, or you forfeit money you prepaid for an appointment they cancelled last minute. Obviously most people book cosmetic procedures around social events and won’t want to just wait several more weeks to get them, so I’m sure most people just pay the extra $100, pretty good way to lure people in with one price then charge more!
I guess you get what you pay for, so I shouldn’t be too surprised, but my first few experiences were positive so I unfortunately AM surprised. I guess they must either have had a change in management or they’re having cash flow issues and need to squeeze more money out of the model appointments now.
Either way, I can’t recommend booking as a model if it would be an issue for you to have your appointment canceled without a refund and be unable to reschedule without paying more or waiting a few weeks (with no guarantee the appointment won’t get canceled again if you wait).

Bad Customer Service + CEO Stalking
This is where the story starts.
Day after my review goes live the CEO personally emails me, accusing me of threatening his employees and mentioning people we both know. Then underneath my review he responds by listing personal information about me, I guess as an attempt to discredit my review? All I can say if you are a provider or potential client, stay away from this company. Wild
Response from developer
Mr Cleo Kirkland (of ZoneTap Inc,) https://www.linkedin.com/in/cleo-kirkland-6110699/ You came to our website. You created an account using a fake name of Bob Becket. You booked a consult with one of our Providers occupying her valuable time. You accepted our booking policy which requires 48 hours cancellation or a fee is assessed. You then cancelled your appointment the day before thus incurring the fee. You were rude and threatening to our customer service team. When I sent you an email asking you why you would do all this (after all we are both tech business people have have Linkedin contacts in common), you cursed at me and threatened to post defamatory reviews of our company (which you have done so above). You sent multiple emails demanding an apology or further defamation would occur. You filed a bogus complaint with Apple and posted misleading reviews of our App on the App store, and on Yelp. Fortunately we have over 2,500 five star reviews of our service and so your fake negative reviews do little damage. https://persimmon.life/reviews Its just a pity that when one runs a business, one encounters individuals like yourself that have nothing better to do than harass, insult and threaten employees for no reason at all. You were aware of the booking policy when you occupied our Providers time. Your use of a fake name indicates that you never intended to use our service at all. I still don't understand what you are up to, but since you claim to be an 'SEO expert' I would assume that you are sleuthing our service to copy or imitate it. Please take your rudeness, your threats and your defamation elsewhere. We have no time for it. Mark Hadfield CEO of Persimmon
