Dazzling by Schnee

my trial run. I was disappointed that we ran out of time for my hair, but decided to have her try again. At this point I want to say that my makeup looked great! When I went to have my hair trial a second time, I again showed her some pictures I had found online. The first time she had done my hair, she did not do the style I wanted, but I had not been clear what I wanted. I assumed that the second time would come out much better and would be the perfect wedding hairstyle. Unfortunately, even with unlimited time and Schnee doing her best work, my hair was still not the style I asked for, and looked very messy. I decided to hire her to do my makeup, so I wanted to stay polite and just let her know that I would be going in a different direction with my hair. The next week she sent me the contract for makeup. It stated she would arrive at my hotel the day of my wedding at 12pm. On wedding day, I got a very disturbing text at 9:17am stating she made a mistake on the contract and would not be able to arrive at 12, but was coming at 1pm. I told her this was not enough time, as my makeup would take an hour, and I needed time to get dressed and take photos after the makeup. The limo was scheduled to pick us up at 2. Originally she had told me that she only schedules one wedding per day, so I was confused as to why she could not arrive on time on my big day. In her text she stated that she was coming from another wedding that morning! I texted her back saying, "Well my contract says 12 and also you told me that you don't book multiple events on the same day. Hope to see you much earlier than 1. I am not comfortable leaving my makeup till the last hour before we get picked up at 2." She said she would give me a $40 discount and would be there as fast as possible. I tried to go about my morning and not stress about the situation, but I was already fairly upset. At 12:38 she texted me that she was on her way, which again was very upsetting to me, because I was expecting her to at least arrive by 12:45-ish. I asked where she was coming from, and her first event that morning was an hour away from mine!!! I could not believe it. She was not even going to make it to me by 1pm! She did text me a few times that she was sorry and that really my makeup would only take 45 minutes. I basically texted her "no thanks" at that point and said I would be starting my own makeup. She offered to still come, have me ready by 2:15, and would do it for free. In her defense she did apologize again and said she felt awful. By this point I was already doing my own makeup and texted her back that it was not about the money but about the timeline. I was so frustrated and even if we could have made it work, I did not want her to come at all anymore. She was the one who broke the contract and lied about booking multiple events back to back. After about 2 weeks I got my deposit back. In summary, she is a nice person and does great makeup, but is NOT a hair stylist. I am not sure how long she has been in the business, but it seems that she is still unsure how to balance and schedule events. This was a huge upset and stress on my wedding day, the one day in my life where I wanted a perfect appearance. I would be very wary and clear up front of your needs if you choose to work with Schnee.
