I'm not even going to reply to her email at this time.
Just let the masses know. I came here for my bridal hair and makeup after other not so great experiences with other salons already, she was listed on my photographers page so I thought she would be legit.
After she completed my hair, which wasn't really what I had discussed, I advised her I didn't want a messy bun, more cleaner look, and apparently since I have brunette hair, she didn't even want to look at the blond hairstyles I pulled. I get that it's blonde and it's not going to look the same, but I wanted that simple style. What I got was a messy bun to one side, and she was tiring after that as well, I could tell.
So when she started in makeup, oh my word... my 5 year old nephew, could have drawn a better eye liner line than she did. Which she told me she would do much better the day of... well isn't this what a trial is for? To make me look like I will day of?? I have health issues, which I explained to her. I didn't expect the end result, my fiancé had plans to go out that evening, but ended up cancelling because of how terrible I looked.
Well, I tried to cancel. And oh boy, get slapped with a $500 bill for cancelling before 3 months prior to the wedding. It's almost a month and a half out, but I'm telling everyone she isn't worth the price I paid for that trial, let alone the $500 to cancel this. I have not seen this kind of contract with any location that I have dealt with and I will no longer be looking for this service after this experience. As a bride being charged a fee that's hidden in a contract, paying this woman for the day of service when she didn't do or listen to her client. No bride should ever experience what I have gone through and this woman should be utterly ashamed. Just like the last place I scolded for working my ass off to get a hold of them... no one is worth the time or money that I have experienced yet and this was so shocking, it's ripped my trust from all my vendors.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!!! I already have so much to pay out for this and that on top of a cancellation fee, it's ridiculous... and this is clearly the only thing keeping her in business.
No I do not recommend her and I will also be discussing this with my photographer about removing her from her site.
Again, not a bridal service at all. read more
