I hate to leave such a negative review, but hiring beauty entourage for my wedding is my one regret for the entire day. Without getting into too much detail, Me, the bride, messed up the original timeline of the day and asked them if we could change it about three weeks in advance. When I emailed them asking them to make the adjustment, I was met with a solid "No sorry". I called them immediately, practically in tears, even offering to pay for additional artists so that we could finish at the time that was required. Apparently ALL their artists were booked and there was no one else they could add in. They could not push the time start time up because they had a wedding before mine. This was really unexpected considering our ceremony was fairly early, at 3:30 PM, but they seem to treat bridal hair and makeup like cranking out products in a factory... apparently they only allot 1 hour for the bride... my trial took 2.5 hours so this did not seem to add up. They (somewhat reluctantly?) ended up working with me in the way that they could and we settled on a different end time. I had to come to terms with a few changes, like having a different makeup artist than the one that did my trial, but that wasn't the end of the world because all I cared about my hair. I thought we had come up with a solution. The whole time I apologized and took ownership for "my mistake."
The day of the wedding, my hairstylist was really late (she was very talented and I know it was not her fault... she told me that the wedding before mine went long), but I ended up doing a different type of curl than we had planned that was easier to make up lost time. At the end of the day we were very late to first look and ultimately had to take the bridal party photos during the cocktail hr which I was hoping to avoid. I'm still really upset about missing that time because I won't get it back.
My bridesmaids were fairly happy with their looks but for the price it was VERY rushed. There was only one hairstylist to do all 9 of my bridesmaids and the curls fell out very quickly.
I'm sure their coordinator is going to clap me and remind me that it was "my fault" because I screwed up the timeline originally. At the end of the day I offered to pay for additional girls (I didn't care if the number of heads stayed the same, I was willing to pay as much as they needed to accommodate the new timeline, and they JUST COULDN'T DO IT.) I offered to hire someone outside of the company to come in, and they reassured me it wouldn't be necessary.
After the wedding, I asked if there was anything they could do price wise since my hair girl still ended up showing up very late and I was not done at the newly agreed upon time. I would have been happy with any small discount. Even just 10% to show that they understood how I felt. NOPE. All my fault. Fine. Every other vendor in my wedding was super accommodating to changes, but not BE.
It looks like there are a lot of bad reviews for them, I should have looked at these more closely before hiring them. read more
