    As a hairstylist, this is upsetting to hear. It is awful that your day was ruined by the unprofessionalism. I must say, I would've fired her after the bridal shower feedback. All the non-communication would've had me too upset and I would've just found someone local and/or done my own hair. I cringed everytime you had to reach out to her again. I can't believe she changed her travel arrangements! Wow... just wow!

  • @iamsweetgrass

    JUST her not responding ALONE ticks me off and would have been enough for me to send 1 final text like: “okay well since your clearly not reliable with communication I will have to cancel your flight and find another stylist, thanks”.
    But even still you looked gorgeous and clearly you’re one of the few good souls in this world to have given this slob so much grace💕🙏🏾

      It may be harsh, but I'd have cancelled as soon as she came with the death of a loved one, yet still wanted to get paid.
      Either she's telling the truth and would be distracted in the way Isi tried to give her leniency for. Which, for such a big only-planning-to-do-this-once occasion...I'm sorry, but no. I will keep you in mind for something with lower stakes or when you aren't going through it.
      Or she was lying because she knows loss makes people stop asking questions and be more lenient.
      Regardless of either, as the client, I don't need an excuse/reason. I just need to know how you're planning to handle our business.
      This was mixing business with personal from the jump.

    As a black hairstylist this was so unprofessional . I genuinely feel for you. I don’t know how you kept your calm throughout all of this. People like her make it so hard for us stylists who actually CARE and provide good service to our clients. It makes it so much harder for clients to trust a new stylist because of this behavior & their experiences. People who are just in it for a quick buck and have no care or consideration for people need to just leave this profession alone

    For such an important event in your life, you should NEVER book with somebody that you haven’t worked with before bc of incidents like these. It’s also best to always have a backup plan.

( & it seems she prioritized the alleged BET Awards business she had going on over you & your wedding. Probably bit off more than she could chew, thus ended up doing a janky, rush job on your hairstyle(s). (Worse than me as a former procrastinating student doing assignments). ) Big S/o to your wedding planner because I would've handed the "hairstylist" her ass, too. She was wrong on so many levels.

I'm so sorry that you had to experience that ghetto bullcrap. I have never heard of this kind of low down, unempathetic, unprofessional behavior!! You have to praise Him for the strength and grace you were able to have in the face of so many attacks. What matters in the end is that you got to marry the man God made for you with your loved ones present physically and spiritually. Congratulations on this huge accomplishment! Just remember you can make even better memories for your 20 yr vow renewal 😉♥️

    I'm so sorry for your experience, and I'm glad you are speaking out. I've experienced this from the sidelines as a bridesmaid more times than one, unfortunately. I think there are a few lessons for future brides to be to take away from this story.
    1. No response is a response, especially after financial transactions have been made. Run.
    2. Contracts with if/ then clauses are essential. Not meeting agreed upon timelines is a red flag.
    3. Always, always have a backup for hair and makeup. They are so essential to the daý and time is money and stress, especially on a wedding day. It's incredible the things that go left as the days get close and stress is high.
    Lastly, I can tell you were really hurt and disappointed, but I hope it gets erased by the beautiful memories you have had and all the new ones you will make with your husband. I wish you both many great blessings for the future! Thx for the video.

Sorry you had such traumatic experience on your wedding day. You tried to give this young lady grace because she supposedly had a death in her family.

    Also….did the deposit not go towards the final price? Bcuz if not that’s really wild in its own right. Like you paid for this lady’s flight (that she didn’t take), the deposit, and she had the nerve to ask for full price. Theeee AUDACITY🙏🏾🙏🏾😮‍💨😮‍💨

      Yeah it did go towards the final price. Because it was $1,200 and she made $200 deposit, that’s why the stylist was asking for $1,000. So Isi paid $650 for the wedding hair + the flight in the end

I feel for you cause for a wedding day, I could never. But seeing the hair on your wedding and now watching this video, it makes sense. Whether black business or not, a service is a service and never allow yourself to sit through what your paying for (esp. where important memories are being made) to then explode about it all later. Her job with you is done and probably has her regular customers still supporting her whilst you are left venting on anonymous. I’m sorry girl, you still looked gorgeous .
