Disasterous Wedding Morning!!!!!!!UPDATE at bottom.
Original post by aidamarie
I cant even begin to tell you how much went wrong my wedding day. Lilas Hair salon in Queens, NEVER EVER GO THERE!!!!!! I had originally went to marcos for my 1st trial and then i met Nereida at Lilas and had a trial with her, I loved it and it was $100 less than Maros, so i booked with her for my wedding day. When i went to get my hair done the morning of the wedding, Nereida said my ends were fried and she said she needed to cut half inch off, so i was really not to happy about that but she insisted, so i said ok, then she decided to put all my hair up which was not what i had at my trial, but she said its pouring outside and if you do an updo it wont frizz so i agreed. So anyway we didnt put on my veil because of the rain, so when i went to my moms house, my sister was putting on my veil when one of the curls got loose, and i hear my sister say OH MY GOD and im like what what tell me, and she says she cut off all your hair its shoulder length, i thought she was kidding and she was like im serious, your hair is like 7-8 inches shorter, well i started ripping curls out to see my hair and sure enough she cut it shoulder length and thats why she insisted i put it up so i wouldnt see and she had me turned away from the mirror during the styling. At that moment i started to get hysterical, i cried for about an hour and missed my makeup appt, i had booked with Mac. I couldnt even think about getting my makeup done i was so hysterical. My mother had to call My now hubby to try to get me to stop crying, so he came to my moms house to calm me down, He couldnt belive how much she cut off, but kept telling me, your beautiful, it doesnt matter how long or short your hair is. Finally i calmed down and he left to go get ready, and then of course at that moment Aunt flo decided to Visit. So now im pissed and very late, i was supposed to be on the road to the hall and i didnt even have makeup or hair done. So i left anyway, when i got to the hall my sister did my makeup and tried to put my hair up and nothing made me happy, i felt like i couldnt breath and ran outside for a little air. so i finally calm down, i just stuck the tiara on my head and clipped the veil in, because at that point i didnt even care anymore what i looked like. Then to top off my pre wedding day, I walk into the reception room to see what it looked like and of course we had the wrong wedding cake. At that pont nothing mattered to me my entire wedding day was ruined in my eyes. And of course my day couldnt get any worse right? Wrong, my shoe strap broke, i lost my purse and someone stole the disposable cameras off some of the tables. Oh and the GRAND finale of my disasterous day, I trip with my dad walking up the step as im about to walk down the aisle but make it to the alter and of course there was a leak right above me in the chapel from all the rain! oh and then 4 not 1 but 4 cell phones went off during the ceremony, including the MOHs who forgot to shut the ringer. So that was my pre wedding day disasters. But i will tell you this, when i saw My Love standing at the alter and he whispered you look beautiful, I love you, I forgot everything that went wrong. Even my messy hair!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've had long hair forever and I would have FREAKED out!! I could not imagine suddenly having it short on my wedding day!
Lots of people check the BBB website about various businesses. I'd file a complaint--especially if you think she put your hair up just to hide the fact that she cut so much.
By any chance did you pay by credit card? If so, dispute it.

Re: Disasterous Wedding Morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, take your time in sending out thank you cards to the people whose cell phones rang. Thank those people LAST.
I am sure you had a beautiful wedding and that everyone saw how much love there was there!!

OMG, I'm so sorry to hear this. I cannot believe what they did to your hair; but you know what, I bet everyone said you looked Gorgeous. You're a real sport & I admire that you were able to get through this & still explain how the feeling you had when you saw your DH was the most important.

I cant believe all these things happened to you!!!! But it sounds like you have a good spirit and recognize the true meaning of the day - CONGRATS to you and your husband!!!!
As for the hair lady, Id show up there with my husband, my father, and some other men and show her that you mean business! That is not just one inch!

Re: Disasterous Wedding Morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations on your marriage! I'm sorry to hear you had such a bad time with your hair though--I think I would die if that happened to me.
Definitely follow up with the shop owner. I would complain to him/her--no way should that much hair have come off without your approval.
But congratulations, and I hope you had a nice day despite your problems early on.

If it's any consolation, I think you looked beautiful on your wedding day. But nevertheless, what happened to you is inexcusabe. I'm so sorry you had to go through that! You can absolutely call the BBB and file a complaint. They will contact the owner and attempt to settle the dispute I believe. Or you may want to consider taking them to small claims court for the cost of the updo, etc. I hope you are feeling better now and at least enjoyed the rest of your weddin g day.

Oh...I'm so sorry... I'm so terrified of things going wrong that morning. I'm so glad your Mom thought to call FH (now DH ) to help calm you down. I love how when you saw your DH...all the bad went away...

My dear you are a trooper and nothing has ruined your day. There will always be something that isnt going right at the wedding. But we all know that is life, things are going to happen and we all have to deal with it. It is not the end of the world and you just reflect back and think about what a wonderful and supportive husband you have. The two of you will be able to face anything together and get through it.

Re: Disasterous Wedding Morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh my god!!!!
Firstly, Congrats - you looked beautiful!
Second - I HOPE you get your $$ back at least - for the principle of it. You need to threaten to ruin business for her if you don't get it back.
And yes, it will make a wonderful story for your kids.
Bottom line: You did it, and it was a success...
but oh my word - I want to take that woman down for you!!!

I agree with the other ladies and think you should contact the BBB.
Your wedding pics looked beautiful.

I don't normally comment on anything here, but I do have to say that despite your hair being obviously way shorter than it was...you DID STILL look spectacular! HONESTLY!
