Hair/makeup Trial... Not loving it (pics)

So, I had my hair/makeup trial a few weeks ago. Planned it for the same day I picked up my dress so I could see it all put together. I absolutely LOVED my makeup, with the exception of my lashes. I wanted super full & noticeable lashes, which my makeup artist didn't do. She said she can make...

So, I had my hair/makeup trial a few weeks ago. Planned it for the same day I picked up my dress so I could see it all put together.

I absolutely LOVED my makeup, with the exception of my lashes. I wanted super full & noticeable lashes, which my makeup artist didn't do. She said she can make them fuller on my wedding day, but not having it done during the trial, I'm a bit nervous that it won't come out the way I want (again) on my wedding day.

My hair... well. That was a different story. My hair stylist seemed to be in a rush during the trial and only did one look on me, even though I wanted her to try 2 styles. I really didn't love the style she did on me and it wasn't really what I wanted. I provided her sample photos of what I was hoping to have done, but it fell short. I had to ask her to change things with my hair several times during the trial, and after about the tenth time, I just kinda gave up. I texted her later and told her I didn't love the style and sent her sample photos of what I'd prefer to have for the wedding day and asked if I could come in for another trial to see this different style, and she insisted that a 2nd trial was unnecessary and that she can just achieve the look on my actual wedding day, which is making me crazy nervous!

Has anyone else had this issue? Should I insist on a 2nd trial or am I being too ridiculous lol?

If Hair/Makeup trials weren't so darn expensive & nonrefundable (this one was $200... which goes towards the actual booking), I'd just go someplace else for a trial... but we're already crazy over budget on so many things, I can't afford multiple pricey hair/makeup trials.

The makeup look I got... still pretty, but my lashes are basically nonexistent Smiley sadcfb_1008706.jpg

My hair Smiley sad Limp and sad looking... not the full soft curls I was hoping for... also HATING there's a part down the center of my head, really wishing she had done a braid or something across the front.cfb_1008708.jpg

    I'm so glad you posted this! I was reading through the comments one the first page and kept thinking "yep...agreed...another trial...not cool" Don't get me wrong, you're beautiful- but I would have been disappointed in that first trial, it's like she didn't listen at all!

    This. This is everything. You got them lashes and an actual hair style! Two billion times better- your smile totally says it all! So happy for you! Smiley laugh Smiley heart

    I have no idea if anyone will even see this after so many months lol but I was excited to share how my hair & makeup looked on my wedding day back on October 12th Smiley love These are just selfies I took, but it makes me smile when I see how everything ended up! So happy I just ate the $200 deposit from the first place and booked someone else!
