Following up from my post regarding my makeup trial on Saturday I took on board what everyone said and also what I was thinking and cancelled the services of both the makeup and hair stylists I saw. They worked in conjunction and I decided that for what I was paying I was settling for less than what I wanted and that isn’t good enough! My hair didn’t wow me either. They were also unprofessional with a topic of conversation they were having while working on me that really bugged me.

I have made an appointment in a couple of weeks for trials at my local salon for my hair and also airbrush makeup. I have booked them for my wedding day just in case I’m really happy. Worst case scenario I do everything myself. Not ideal but doable.
I’m so used to settling because I never want to be a bother (side effect of an abusive relationship), but I’m finally getting there where I can say I deserve better!

Good for you! You shouldn’t settle if you’re not totally happy, especially if you feel like you could do better yourself. I didn’t book my hair stylist until like 8 weeks before the wedding so I’m sure you’ll be fine

Thank you! I literally couldn’t sleep last night thinking about it. I’m just so used to saying “yes it’s fine” even when things aren’t, it’s a big thing for me to say no.

I feel you! I'm struggling with this right now too. I had a hair and makeup trial last summer. It was ok. I wasn't wowed. The ladies are so sweet, I didn't want to tell them the truth, but when they left, I just stared at myself in the mirror thinking, "this isn't exactly what I had in mind."
What worries me is that I gave my makeup artist a photo of the eye makeup look I wanted. It looked fairly simple to me. But what she gave me was like that look, but on steroids. It was way more over the top than I wanted. But I couldn't muster the courage to tell her that at the time. So, now, do I hope I can get her to tone it down on my wedding day? Or do I take the chance that she'll make me up like a Vegas showgirl and just live with it? So much to think about. I have less than 5 months to decide and find someone else. Yikes.

I am not good with confrontation so this was big for me. I just told her I decided to go a different direction with my hair and makeup. Simple and with no other explanation.

My wedding is in 9 weeks but I just couldn’t go through with not looking how I wanted. Speak up now to make sure you’re happy.

Yes, I think I'm going to have to. I've actually had nightmares about this, I'm so worried that I'm going to end up looking like a clown on my wedding day!
That's a good way to put it, kind of like the classic line, "it's not you, it's me." lol
I'm about 5 months out, so time to suck it up and get it over with. Thanks for the encouragement!

I totally understand how you are feeling!
I am doing a destination wedding and not doing a trial run until a few days before the wedding. I am so nerve I will not like how it turns out and can not book anyone else.
