| - What a horrible experience! I was so excited to have my hair and makeup done for front-row seats to Rod Stewart. I wanted to look especially beautiful for my long-time idol.
When James arrived, I showed him several pictures of the hairstyle I wanted. He said, "ok, I got it." When he finished, I looked in the mirror and I was absolutely horrified! I thought I was being punked. He had parted my hair on the extreme right side, pulled all my hair over to the left side and had it going straight out to a point. It looked nothing like the pictures I had shown him. And the hairstyle was laughable. I could not believe he actually thought anyone should go out in public like that, and especially not for such a special night that I had been looking forward to for several months.
I showed him the pictures again of the hairstyle I wanted, and he became very defensive and said he can't do my hair like that because I have shorter layers. Well, why didn't he say that when I showed him the pictures initially? And then we could have discussed options! Not just do some stupid looking hairdo and hope I like it.
James was obviously extremely annoyed that I did not like my hair and he would have to work on it some more. He messed with it a little, it looked a little better, but still not great, definitely not the "wow" that I was hoping for. He packed up his things, and I still was not happy with my hair. He begrudgingly took out the flat iron again and ran it through a few strands. My hair ended up looking worse than when I just do it myself.
My makeup turned out OK after I touched it up when the makeup artist left. I was disappointed that the lipstick was not better quality. The lipstick bled and came off during dinner before the concert, so I had to use my own to touch it up.
I would save $160 (plus tip, which should have been less than I gave) and do my own hair and makeup next time. Or use another company.
**** In response to James' comment. I think the pictures speak for themselves. My hair does not look good!
The ONLY reason I finally said my hair was OK was because you were OBVIOUSLY VERY ANNOYED and did not want to work on me any more.
