Have a person who you don't like do your hair & makeup for your wedding?

I had my hair done by this place in my town. They do beautiful work- I mean beautiful! I REALLY didn't like the owner, but the girl who worked there had left to go to another salon- and I've used her ever since.

I booked this girl to do my hair & makeup for the wedding. The other day she called me and cancelled

She is getting married the SAME day.

SO- now I have to book someone else. I know that the owner of the place in my town does fantastic work. But I don't like her. Should I just suck it up and go with her??

If you really don't like her, you don't want to risk her making her miserable on your wedding day. Talk to the girl you originally had in mind - maybe she can recommend someone else for you.

That's a tough one. Normally I'd say keep looking becuase I'm all about bringing my business to someone I like & who will work with me & treats me nicely. however, you know she does really good work. If it were me, I'd probably keep looking for awhile and, as a last resort if I couldnt find anyone else I like better, I'd go ahead and book the mean lady. Good luck!

talk to the girl you had booked and see if there is someone else she would recomend

Personally, I would suck it up. If she annoys you, that will soon pale in comparison to the fact that it's your wedding day and you're surrounded by people who love you and FH and want to celebrate your life together.

On the other hand, if the hair turns out poorly -- that will bother you every time you look at your pictures. And I don't think I would find the stress and expense of looking for someone new worth it. But that's just me -- you go with your gut!

I say suck it up as long as you know she will do a good job on your hair. If for some reason you think she will not then go else where.

fallbride · #7 01-26-2006, 03:44 PM

What is it that you don't like about her? Is she rude to you? I would say if she was rude, then don't go because you will be all tensed up the day of the wedding. But if it is something you can over look that day, then I would go to her for that day.

I say suck it up since you know she does good work. You don't have to talk to her, just have her do a good job on your hair.

I just didn't like her. I felt like she was unfriendly towards me & stuck up, like she was better than me. I had told her that I never get my hair done & in her words I was a "color virgin". She just seemed to dislike that I'm not into that stuff- and wasn't as nice as I would think she should have been since I spent over $300 getting my hair done there. But I guess it could have just been me. Maybe it was me, maybe I didn't give her a chance to be nice.... but then again, the lady who has been doing my hair said the same thing- that they were stuck up.

Maybe I'll just forget all that. How mean could they be on someone's wedding day? I would imagine that even if you disliked someone- you would be happy/ excited with them on their wedding day right??

I don't know girl. If you're not comfortable with her, you may want to re-think hiring her. She should be excited for you and with you from the very first moment you meet her. I wouldn't want to risk feeling uncomfortable with my wedding day.

I'm big on the experience of things, and having a bad experience with my stylist would put me in a crappy mood. Not everyone's like that, but for me, all it takes is one instance and I'm huffy for a while.

Marrying_the_Good_Husband · #12 01-26-2006, 05:55 PM

Maybe she was just making comments to try to get you to come in and get your hair colored every month:

! Most places will give you a trial run, so try out a few different people. IF it doesn't turn out as well as the b!tchy lady, then I guess book with her if you feel it's worth it.

Chillchacha · #13 01-26-2006, 10:45 PM

I say keep looking. That day is going to be stressful enough you don’t need someone making lame comments

. I will tell you what my hair stylist told me; your stylist should be someone you should be able to be honest with because you have to live with your hair everyday. This is super important with your wedding because you have to live with your pictures for the rest of your life and if you feel like you can’t ask her to move a curl or something like that then it will stick out to you in every picture. Go ahead and ask your stylist for a reference and start from there.

Ditto.

PlanetClaire · #15 01-26-2006, 11:52 PM

Time permitting, I'd say keep looking. I would think you'd be nervous and anxious on your big day and that is not the time to have someone with whom you've had an unpleasant experience be doing your hair.

Great idea to get a recommendation from the girl that had to cancel on you.

ljeagle · #16 01-27-2006, 05:28 AM

I say keep looking maybe call that girl and see if she can give u a few good places. It's your day u don't want to be more stressed out then u have to be...

feb-bride · #17 01-27-2006, 05:58 AM

I voted for "keep looking." On your wedding day, it's important to be surrounded by as much positive as possible because you will be stressed/nervous as it is. You don't need the extra stress of a tense hair appointment.

Cirig · #18 01-27-2006, 01:47 PM

I think I'll keep looking. But- I'll still do a trial run with the lady in my town. Things may be different with her- who knows. And I can always book her, just incase I don't find anyone else. Not like I'd be taking business away from her if I do cancel- my wedding isn't until June. Thanks guys!
