Stylist rescheduled my hair appointment twice and NOW I'M GETTING SICK 😭

So originally I scheduled for a hair appointment like two weeks ago, I chose to schedule with the owner because it was a cut I was nervous about and her specialties seemed to match the best with the cut (I'm getting a mullet after wanting one for YEARS, I've never gotten one because my entire family hates mullets so I've grown up basically thinking everyone finds mullets disgusting and everyone will hate me if I get one or something. The owner specializes in alternative cuts and easy hair and that's exactly what I wanted.)

The first time I scheduled, she messaged me saying they had messed up her availability on the website and asked me to schedule a new date. I scheduled for the week after, and then like a day or two before the cut, she got sick and we had to reschedule again for the NEXT week. It's now Wednesday, the appointment is for 2pm tomorrow, I got a sore throat yesterday, and now I'm full-blown sick.

Sore throat, coughing, runny nose, body aches, the whole thing. THE DAY BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT. I HAVE WANTED THIS HAIRCUT FOR YEARS AND I FINALLY HAVE THE COURAGE TO GO FOR IT AND THE UNIVERSE IS LIKE "mm nah." BRUHHHH I'm taking vitamin c every day and dayquil and nyquil and nasal spray and drinking so much water and honey tea I just want it to be over so I can still go to the appointment 😭😭

How rude will that be to still go to the appointment?? Will she hate me if I show up with a scratchy voice after she literally just got over a sickness?? I just want this haircut so bad and I'm sick of having to reschedule 😭😭 plus, the message I got about the appointment says if I cancel or reschedule within 48 hours of the appointment I have to pay FIFTY PERCENT OF THE COST and of course my greedy ass scheduled with the owner so the cost is ONE HUNDRED TWENTY I'D BE PAYING SIXTY BUCKS FOR GETTING SICK 😭😭😭😭 and honestly if she holds me to that, I would be a bit upset because she had to reschedule twice 😭😭 ughhhhhh I would feel so bad showing up sick. Like I could tell her I'm getting over it like it's just the scratchy voice but that could be a straight up lie depending on how I feel tomorrow. Should I wear a mask or will she just straight up refuse me at that point???
