Don’t want my Regular hair stylist to do my hair for my wedding

I would suggest the first poster's suggestion saying it was a team but then again she may still say that she can do yours. I would not tell her you have concerns but maybe tell her that for the day you spoke with the party and you all wanted to get your hair and make up done close to the venue and one of them recommended a place and you will work with them for the day. I mean if she is moody and what not and you have concerns I would probably find a new stylist.

I think there is some good advice from other posters. I'd emphasize that you wanted a team to visit you on site for your wedding day and found a team that would do so. Most wedding vendors such as photographers, videographers, and stylists have "non compete" clauses saying that if they do your services they can be the only one doing services for your day, so if she says she can still do your hair you can mention that. Tell her you wanted the convenience of having you and all your girls done together on site, and you found a salon that offered that package.

If she holds a grudge or makes a big stink about it then she's probably not someone you should continue going to for your hair anyway.

I would just be really honest. You don't owe her any excuses - it's your wedding and your decision. She was wrong to assume she'd be doing it anyways. I think situations like this are more messy when you make excuses. Just tell her she's great for your normal day-to-day styling, but you wanted someone else for your wedding.

I agree with the others who say to just be honest. Maybe not point out that you have concerns, but just say you’ve booked with a salon that’s convenient to the venue for the whole party. Again, if she’s in a tizzy or holding grudges about it, then she must not truly value you or your business. My stylist is a friend from high school whom I love. I’ve only been seeing her for hair this past year, but girl, she was so excited when I got engaged, just genuinely happy for me. She asked what I was doing about my hair, but when I told her I was considering doing it myself, she didn’t pressure me at all. I have since decided to have her do it, but I just wanted to share how a good businessperson and friend should react to upcoming nuptials rather than assuming you’re going to ask them to do a job.
