RP: Problem w/ makeup artist - need advice (long)

I fell in love with this make-up artist at my trial, so I decided to book him for my wedding (no contract) and asked him if he would apply my make-up for my e-pics. I was supposed to go to his apartment at noon on Sunday, but realized late Saturday night that I did not have his address! I called his cell every 15 mins from 10:45AM to 11:45AM with no answer. After 11:45, I knew that I would not have enough time to get there and still make-it to my shoot, so I started to apply my own make-up. At noon he called me back and said that if he knew I didn't have the address, he would have gladly given it to me. Well, if I knew I did not have his address, I would not have been a nervous wreck Sunday morning!! He did not apologize or anything!!

So the question is, is it unreasonable to expect him to be available even 20 minutes before our appt (running early, calling for directions, etc.) AND would you still work with him at your wedding??

Sorry so long... I just thought I had this all out of the way and now I am at square one again.

here's my opinion.....anyone running a business the way these independent vendors do (hair/makeup in particular) they should be sure that you have any and all contact info up front (and i'm merely talking phone numbers) AND make themselves available...i mean, don't drop the brushes to answer a cell in the middle of a wedding prep. but if you have an appt at noon, at even 11 you should be available to take a call as you are waiting for the $$$ to arrive.

i am sorry this happened to you. but i do think that he should've been near the phone or answered it!
