repeat from '07 board-hair trial help needed!

I booked 'Brides by V e n u s'. I spoke to V e n u s over 25 times. I was under the impression I was going to the Jackie Shawn Salon and meeting w/ her. They even called back after I scheduled the appt., b/c 'Venus usually doesn't do hair trials on Saturdays'. Venus reassured me she'd be there and the salon called back to let me know that.
The other night, after a few glasses of wine , I get an email from Venus stating I'd be meeting w/ Jennifer at the salon for my hair trial W T F? Long story short, Venus does make up and works closely w/ a 'team' of girls who do hair. Isn't ur business called 'Brides by V e n u s'? Not, 'Brides by Jennifer' After 1,000 emails back & forth b/c I thought she had lost her mind and forgot who I was and how many times we had discussed this (I even emailed her photos I liked) she explained that pretty much she's the madam and pimps out her little hair dressers. That was Monday, today I called the salon to confirm (for myself) that I do infact have an appt. w/ 'Jennifer', the woman says 'no, w/ Angela' does anyone know what they're doing around here?
So help...Do I cancel and start all over looking for a cheap hair dresser for me + 5? I live in FL, getting married in Holbrook. This is a nightmare. Help!

if you think I should start all over, then I need some recommendations for my hair.

OMG, the plot thickens! The salon just called back and said now I'm w/ Jennifer, not Angela and they need me to come in @ 1pm, not 11am!

If they're so disorganized about setting up a simple hair trial, do you really trust them for your wedding day??

I don't have any recommendations for a hair stylist but I'm sure the LIW brides can help you out

i don't know..i'd be a little worried that they'd be this unorganized on the day of your wedding as well...

i don't know the area that well, though, so i can't give you any suggestions..sorry!

Don't bother! This reminds me of a florist who I made an appt with, she forgot, we then rescheduled, we met, and she was a complete mess!
I told her I already had my center pieces and that all I needed was help with my bouquets, BM's bouquets and other peripherals. Well, we'd be in the middle of a discussion about my bouquet, she would get up, and bring back berries that would look great in my CP!!! She also didnt remember anything I was saying! That was JUST our first meeting!

Anyway, first impressions are HUGE, especially with businesses. Read the brides' reviews--they're very thorough and helpful. They've steered me away from certain vendors. Majority rules in the end!

And if anything, ur experience is now making me rethink this vendor since I havent picked out my makeup/hair person yet! So, thanks!

HTH! and good luck!

Thank you! I checked for reviews and only found one for the salon itself, but not w/ the person who will be doing mine or V E N U S
