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!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edited for spelling

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!

Thank you.

Re: Disasterous Wedding Morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm stunned by what happened. I hope you didn't pay her..

If you did, send her a certified, registered letter detailing what happened. You have witnesses that can attest to your dilemma. Demand your $$ back and a full apology.

Put a complaint in at the BBB. Also you may want to send a complaint to the Attorney General's office. You can state that in your letter to her.

Lastly, you looked beautiful regardless and I hope that you can put this past you and enjoy your new married life with your love. Good luck.

UPDATE: Lilas Salon

I have called Nereida numerous times. She never gets back to me and usually they hang up on me. They refuse to refund my money. Mark has insisted that i do not go over there. Even though at this point i would really like to, but i dont want to get in an argument with DH So i am sending this letter. Does it sound harsh enough. What do you think. I left out the curses, trying to be professional, i would really like to tell her what a ***** she is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nereida,

I have tried to be reasonable with you and was willing to let things go if you would just apologize and refund my money from my wedding appointment. You have been so rude, and still do not acknowledge what you have done. Every time i tried to contact you, you have hung up on me. You still do not understand the sadness and distress you caused for me on my wedding day. I will never be abe to go back and fix what you have done. I will never be happy looking at my wedding pictures because i always think of what my hair was supposed to look like, not what it looked like after you butchered it. I am reporting you to the Better Business Bureau and also putting in a complaint to the Attorney Generals office and I have decided to take you to small claims court for my money back. I will spread to word to everyone i know about what you did and hope that your business diminishes. Just because you have a license to do hair, that doesnt give you the right to do what you did. You are very unprofessional and do not deserve to be in business.

I would leave out the part about telling everone and hoping her business dimishes...you dont want her to conter sure for slander....(even though you are right) I would maybe add in that you hope in the future she does nto treat her clients as poorly as she has treated you.
