I wouldn't stress over it. Just call and cancel if she starts to yell (which she shouldn't) just hang up. I can do it too. I have no fear.

WAIT!! I have another one!

Call in the middle of the night! I'm sure they'll have their phones off!

Say 'I've been up all night thinking about this... blah, blah, blah...'

I had to do something similar. I had booked a makeup trial and it was also the day of my e-party. The girl I booked got slammed on here, so I just told the other girl that I was postponing my eparty and would call her when I knew the new date. No problemo.

Just wanted to say GL!

We cancelled our limos a month before (parents did it for me in person) and it was fine...then I get a nasty call two days before the wedding trying to get me to pay full amount--I hung up when the person was rude to me.

It's your right to cancel--just do wantever you need to do!

Re: So nervous.. have to cancel hair & makeup

I had to cancel my hair and makeup people and I told them my wedding was cancelled...hopefully that doesn't bite me in the ***, but I just didn't want to deal with it.

I had to the same thing with my old make up person. I had her booked but then liked someone else and booked them instead. I was praying for voicemail when I called to cancel and I got it! I left her a quick message that I had to cancel because of unforeseen circumstances. Good luck!

Ok, so I am FREAKING out and I know i have to call these people. I booked hair with someone and then realizede that I just don't want to use her. I am REALLY nervous to call her. She is really obnoxious and I don't want her to yell at me. I wish I had gotten email addresses!!! so much easier to cancel via email! Same thing with makeup except i went for a trial already and am cancelling her. I feel bad and I don't want to hurt her feelings. She was nice but I like someone else more. How did you guys do it???

Yell at you?????? You are giving her 4 months notice---which is PLENTY of time! And if you hate confrontation, and she 'yells' like this , all you have to do is one simple thing......HANG UP! Your call is done!

EXACTLY! That's the approach I would take. But I also like the idea about saying you won the servies from a bridal contest That's great!! I love it!

Re: So nervous.. have to cancel hair & makeup

I cancelled my make-up girl. It took me a few weeks to do it because I was so scared how she'd take it after the trial. I basically told her I can't handle someone doing stuff on their own time frame and I wanted to do it myself.

Remember you have the power to cancel and hang up!

Any update? How'd it go?

Re: So nervous.. have to cancel hair & makeup

I'm going through the same thing!
Ugh..I haven't done it yet but I'm going to soon.
I'm gonna do it through email probably.

OMG!! I have an idea (not that I've EVER done this!! lol )

Take your cell phone and your desk phone and from both phones at the SAME time (so both calls come in at once), dial the # with *67 in the front so she can't see it's you.
The phone can't take 2 calls at once, so one will go to voicemail. Let her say 'hello, hello, hello' on the other line while you smoothly cancel on the other ;) LOL

Woah, I never heard of that! Seriously though, these are vendors here to do us a service. If you don't want to use her, then just call and be polite while you cancel her. If she starts to be mean, you can either hang up, or call upon your inner b!tch (we all have one, ladies) and let her have it.

Yeah - really !! Come on now...Weddings are a lot of stres and a TON of expense! America - free country and all of that. You call, you cancel - it's done. End - done. She doesn't like it - too bad. You're giving a lot of notice - she'll re-book it - no harm here. Don't put it off, do it now!!

that's pretty slick!

Re: So nervous.. have to cancel hair & makeup

Just the fact you are afraid she is going to yell at you.. makes me think that you really need to get rid of her.
Just tell you are cancelling dont' give her a reason.. its none of her business anyway..
I can't believe some of these vendors..

Re: So nervous.. have to cancel hair & makeup

I know it's probably bad, but tell her the wedding is off, then she wont give you a hard time!

Best of luck!
