So I scheduled an appointment to get hair extensions for my wedding day two or three weeks prior. The lady who did my hair was very nice and I really liked her but I was a bit thrown off when I was told one price (under 700) then at checkout it went all the way up to almost 1100 😭

I still had scheduled for my bridal party and myself the day of. Full make up for myself, mother in law and hair for all of us.

I showed a very simple clean cut wing for reference and wanted just a little contouring. The artist started and she asked if I wanted lashes and I said as like ng as they're not huge because I have small eyes and hooded eye lids. When she spun me around after it was done I was in shock. I looked like a caky clown! It was as if she painted stage make up on me it was so thick. She also penciled in my eyebrows... Problem is I have thick eyebrows. The color was waaaaaay off and to boot she put lip liner that was not flattering to say the least. My mother in law had almost the same problem except she ended up with thick caky make up in her hair and they didn't even clean it off! I expect hair stylest to know how to be creative and given I had said "front to be softly pulled away from the face and just simple loose curls in the back for my bridesmaid" I figured that was pretty easy. Everyone's hair came out frizzy and not properly done. It didn't look like a salon had done it but that they had done it themselves.

When I switched chairs for my hair to get don't the lady seemed as if she was very annoyed. I showed her a picture of what I wanted which reflected my bridesmaid and I only got one detail out of it correct.

She bobbypinned my scalp so hard it scraped and loosened some of my extensions and scraped my scalp. The front looked "meh", she teased my hair soich that it took my over an hour to brush it out the night of my wedding with a head full.of conditioner and my curls were frizzy, like they weren't soft and feminine but hastily done. I also had asked a week prior if the times I scheduled was ok so I wouldn't feel rushed getting the venue for final touches. They said it was fine. But it think they got confused with my mother.in law scheduling herale up earlier then my 10 am appointment.

For all the Money i and my bridal party spent I expected more. I expected soft and not frizzy hair that fell out 2hours later, I expected make up that I didn't feel so embarrassed in that I wiped off prior to my ceremony and did my own leaving the gigantic eyelashes which they started falling out half way thru the day and I expectedy extensions to not be loosened so much (they're rolling on the sides because the thread was broken off)

Anyways, bummer for sure. At least I fixed my makeup
