I know this might seem like a 'weird' thing to be worried about but...
I'm a plus size bride, and of all things I am worried about finding a MUA & Hair stylist who isn't well.. Judgmental. My fears are based on a personal experience I had several years ago during my mother's wedding. My mother, my half-sister, and myself went to a makeup artist to get dolled up for the day. the make up artist fawned over my (fit) half sister, but when she got to my mother she started making rude comments about how she looked. She was really subtle with my mom, but when she got to me, she visibly grimaced and said that I don't look very good, and that I don't look like I'm even related to my mom and half-sister. She even went as far as to say something like "well clearly [sister's name] is the beauty of the family".
The whole experience was incredibly awkward, and I felt so humiliated I was almost in tears.
There have been a few run ins more recently with other vendors at a bridal expo.... I was with my bridal party, and despite wearing something that said 'bride' on it in plain view, the vendor went to one of my party members to say 'congratulations on your engagement'... And when they were told I was the bride, they looked me up and down, and seemed disappointed/surprised.
So now I'm really worried about finding a MUA/hair stylist who won't grimace or treat me differently just because I'm not conventionally beautiful. I know that some might say that it only matters that my fiance loves me (and he does), but after that really big bad experience, and a few other small negative experience, it's hard not to get down on myself or worry. I don't want to give my business to someone who will put a damper on my day.... Has anyone else had similar experiences? I'd like to know I'm not alone...
