Hair/makeup issue

So I have my neighbor doing my hair and makeup for my wedding. I asked her for a day to try different styles. And I showed her a picture of the hairstyle I wanted. My theme is 1940s but I wanted my hair braided on the side. She said that wouldn’t do and proceeded to do my hair and have it down...
So I have my neighbor doing my hair and makeup for my wedding. I asked her for a day to try different styles. And I showed her a picture of the hairstyle I wanted. My theme is 1940s but I wanted my hair braided on the side. She said that wouldn’t do and proceeded to do my hair and have it down (that’s the only style she did) took about 3 almost 4 hours, and all it was was just curling my hair and a lot of hairspray and two Bobby pins that’s it. I’m getting married July 2nd. The issue I’m having because I really struggle with using my voice is I didn’t like the hairstyle at all, it was frizzy and a hot mess by the end of the day, and the makeup was old. Not being mean but you know that certain smell you get from old makeup that’s what it smelled like. I then went into the mirror and politely told her I liked it only to try not to panic because I didn’t even recognize myself and I felt completely not me. How do I approach this nicely?

    I am so sorry to hear that. I’m sure either way your still beautiful and had a great day! Thank you. I will be making changes. I appreciate that a lot. I don’t want to feel worse than I already am I already battle confidence issues and due to stress I can’t lose weight and been to urgent care twice for stress related issues. Im in over drive I am so sorry im posting this to on here. But I have to be honest with my situation cause ever since I saw myself in the mirror I had to remain calm but I went home and cried because I couldn’t recognize myself at all. And I don’t want that. So I’m going to thank everyone who has helped me and I’m going to find someone before my wedding day. Thanks again.

    Ok I completely understand not wanting to hurt someone’s feelings but she didn’t exactly take yours into consideration either. Remember that a wedding isn’t just about the actual day, it’s about the pictures and memories that will last forever and you don’t want to look at your wedding photos and wish you had spoken up! Also, if you are happy and comfortable with how you look, you will feel more confident and that’s what will make your beauty shine through! So yes, be polite but try telling her that you want to look more like “you”. If she can’t help you achieve this, remember she might not be your neighbor forever, but your photos are foreverSmiley smile

    My best friend who was in my wedding and a hair stylist did the same thing to me. I ended up sending her a text and saying “ Hey can we talk about my hair on the day of the wedding? I really do not want my hair down. I know you say you want it to be natural to who I am, and that we can touch it up, but I think I just want it up or braided or something. I just don’t want it down. I don’t want to hurt your feelings and It’s giving me anxiety and I am sorry but I have to get it out there.” She took it extremely well, apologized and we setup time to do a new trial and it went way better!!!
