This is the worst mistake I made of my wedding and the only thing I have regret about and wish I could take back. I hired Abby and paid her a very hefty non-refundable deposit. This was my bad for not reading her contract more thoroughly, whi...ch is a total joke and basically says she gets paid regardless of what she does and there is zero protection for the bride in it. Abby prides herself in "not taking long" to do hair and makeup and says that she needs 30 minutes tops for each service. Well, you get what you pay for I suppose. At my hair and makeup trial, Abby spent 15 minutes on my hair, curling it in five big chunks and then putting it back in a tight side bun nothing like what I asked for. For my makeup, she didn't even take off what I already had on, threw on some eyeshadow, light eyeliner, mascara, and lip gloss and called it good. Her up-charge for airbrush is concealer only. Truly ladies, her makeup application was comparable to what I would do for myself in my CAR on the way to work in five minutes. Please do yourselves a favor and shop around before making the mistake I did. Look at photos closely before hiring your hair and makeup artist. This is truly an art, and the ladies I ended up hiring were a night and day difference from my experience with Abby. I left my (VERY EXPENSIVE) trial in tears, and then when I tried to talk to Abby about it she only made me feel worse. When I called her to say that I would only need her and not the second random girl she was bringing with her and that I only wanted her to do hair and not makeup, she said she would need to "call her financial and legal team" and let me know if that was acceptable. I could go on and on. Message me if you would like before and after pictures of my trial with Abby versus the artist I ended up going with. Bottom line, do your homework, read contracts, and do not make the huge mistake I did.
