Beards and Babes

before my wedding and she was answering all my questions and communicating via email. After I sent my deposit, the communication stopped. It would take >1 month and multiple messages to finally receive a response. I asked multiple times throughout the booking process and even after booking if she would have a 2nd artist with her as I had 11-12 girls wanting services in a short time period, she kept ignoring my request and eventually told me if it was >10 people she would get a second artist. Then ~2 months before the wedding I asked again about the second artist and she ignored my question and responded with a day of schedule (no 2nd artist listed on the schedule) with a girl going every 30 minutes including the bride (when I was told 45- 1hour for bride hair and 45 for everyone else) this schedule was starting earlier than I asked for and left no time for touch ups and I told her it felt rushed and brought up my concerns and again, asked for another artist. She responded with offering to start even earlier and was not willing to budge on the 2nd artist. Therefore I decided to search for a new artist ~2 months before my wedding. When I told her I was going with someone else, it took her around 1 month to respond and she tried to blame me and stated “i would have been willing to bring on a second artist if you had more than 10” again, I had 11 and asked multiple times prior to this moment. I requested my deposit back since it was her lack of communication and professionalism that caused me to go with someone else. I explained to her that I wanted this to work out but it was adding more stress to my day and she never answered me after that and never returned my deposit. I feel that she wanted to make more money for her and was trying to rush through 11 girls and myself to make more money instead of having a 2nd stylist. I think her work from what I see on Instagram is good but it is not worth the stress and poor communication and I would hate for another bride to stress the way that I had to with her.
