*Updated* second fitting w/hair and makeup trial..frustrated..opinion please.

Original post by sookthecat

So here is the first fitting that was already posted:



The second fitting went fine, but I was not at all pleased with my hair/makeup trial.

Makeup and hair:



I got this trial at Maximus and I was there for almost five hours!! They were so rude to me and left me in a set for two hours, first taking me to get makeup, then changing their mind, then realizing they put the front rollers in wrong...and it didn't even hold in the end! I complained about the lack of attention from the staff and being passed off...they blamed my hair! Didn't even apologize. I do not recommend them at all.

Worst part, I spent $180 on the damn trial. And now I have to figure out what to do. I have a trial with Elena from Bridal Touch...if anyone has any info on her stuff, let me know. She apparently only does airbrush with Mac cosmetics, and does hair too. I'm sure a lot of places are going to be booked with less than a month to go...

So here is my second fitting.




And what should I do I didn't call maximus and know I should complain to the bridal coordinator. The girl that did my hair was just so uncaring and seemed bothered by the fact that the set failed and she had to curl my hair with a curling iron. I wish I hadn't spent so much, should have gotten a quote beforehand. Then again, my friend had recommended them so I thought it would have worked out.

Oh, and bridesmaids dresses...well the wrong style came in. Butt ugly. So now the dresses are not going to be in until two weeks before my wedding...I'm so bummed.

Your dress is absolutely stunning.

I would definatly say you should call and compalin about the poor service.

Try someone else.... we will all for a better experience next time....

The BM dresses will work out... We just had another bride have a terrible last minute ordeal but it all worked out... it always does.

In the end, you will have the best day of your life so just keep that end goal in mind!

Thank you for the advice. The trial was supposed to be for a half up/down look...I thought they could have done a better job. I called maximus and complained and they offered me a trial for free with a different person. I told them I would think about it. I have another trial on sunday so hopefully that will work out a lot better. Thank you again for the advice and compliments on the dress!

Your dress is gorgeous, and I'm sorry that you had to go through such a negative experience with the salon.

If you're looking for great hair & makeup - I HIGHLY recm'd Mia from Bridal Lounge. She does airbrush, and uses MAC makeup. She's very talented, and she'll come to you for the trial.

Good Luck!
