UNPROFESSIONAL AF HAIRSTYLIST RUINED MY WEDDING DAY... **RECEIPTS INCLUDED**

[@kirasimpson7229]

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!

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.

To be honest, I feel like this is an example of being too nice to the detriment of yourself. You should've sacked her so many times before your wedding day Isi. You gave her so many chances until she ruined your wedding. It's ok to not be nice all the time if someone is not respecting you. You should've never had her at your wedding. I'm sorry you went through that, you're a beautiful soul, hopefully you stop being so nice to people who don't deserve your kindness.

[@dariaredding]

I never comment on videos but after watching this video, I am compelled to do so. As a hairstylist specializing in natural hair (tight curls), my main reason for going into the industry was to provide it with the level of customer service and care that us Black women deserve. We work too damn hard and care too damn much for others to have the safe place of the salon to cause us undue and unnecessary stress. The level of unprofessionalism and down right disrespect was uncalled for and really give those of us who take our profession seriously a hard time. You would not believe some of the horror stories I’ve heard from new clients who’ve experienced trauma from the lack of care (general and haircare), professionalism and overall indecency from a “hairstylist” they were trusting to show up for them while they we just trying to celebrate themselves. I am so sorry that your day was ruined to the capacity that you did not get the wedding experience you envisioned. Now as a Virgo, I understand all to well giving others the benefit of the doubt. We Virgos do it all too often because I feel as though most of us are so empathetic with people in general and will always want to see the good or positive in them. We can no longer do this when they show us who they are! No more giving benefit of the doubt even if they come through at the end. Somewhere along the way, we never truly get the desired outcome and always end up stressed or anxious at the end of our ordeal with the person. I’m just speaking from my own personal experiences and have finally come to terms with not waiting for the red flags anymore; I move around when I see the yellow (caution) ones. Wishing you and Josh all the best and praying you never encounter another raggedy hairstylist or ghetto hair operation 😊

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.

[@tadmad-r4d]

As clients we should also STOP sitting through stuff and acting like we agree with a service we fully know we won’t pay full price on at 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 . Never lower your standards for a BUSINESS!

Girl, I have anxiety JUST HEARING THIS STORY!!!! This is so upsetting, I'm so glad your planner held her accountable RIGHT then and there!!!

[@BobbayVirgo]

Girl, why are you protecting this hairstylist… I literally have no words I’m cussing this trick from London because there is NO WAY. NO WAYYYYY!! I cannot believe you even paid her, whewwwww. Let me take a breath and pray because Lord knows..

[@BlaydeAlabama]

I'm with you 💯

[@melanin.beautyxiii]

Girlllllll I would have literally broke all the way down! I get overwhelmed pretty easily bc I'm hypersensitive so I admire that you held it together and still had an amazing day. 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 😉♥️

[@sportr_]

Yea you were too nice! But I admire your positive and happy attitude💕

[@NajahD]

You communicated perfectly with her. As a person with her masters in strategic communication there was absolutely nothing more you could’ve done except find someone else that was to your standards. I’m so sorry this was your experience smh

[@lockednkeey1985]

I’m usually a quiet subscriber but this experience was just too crazy! It’s so hard to know which businesses to go to bcuz so many people are scam artists out here. I wouldn’t be surprised if that girl was linked to your identity being stolen!! I hope you find a good, professional stylist for future events❤️❤️ 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🙏🏾🙏🏾😮‍💨😮‍💨

[@cucumberbreezee]

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

[@tenacioustm]

You were spot on with this comment. She was the scammer. This was really hard to watch.

[@waliyyahb.396]

I literally was thinking that when she said she wasn't responding 3 days before the wedding. It makes so much sense.

[@RiCra012]

@@tenacioustm you know what?! She probably was the scammer!!! Or dealing with a man who is.

[@kaylaagonzalez8882]

@@cucumberbreezee her deposit was actually $400 if im not mistaken because it was a bundled price for her wedding and the bridal shower

[@JustZaiii]

A part of me feel like she did that shit on purpose to ruin your day. She comes off bitter and jealous also selfish. I’m sorry you had to go through that with that women. I’m glad you and josh, are doing better now. (The only thing she’s worried about is money she doesn’t care about anything else besides money)

[@DanielleStarr]

This was so sad. You went through a lot.. and still came out on top. Bless your heart darling.

[@drizzydraya1936]

I have never seen a single video of yours I dont know how you popped up on my feed but it was destiny I love this and it’s time to binge all your videos❤

[@appleblooms259]

I’m so sorry you went through this 🙏🏾 Also the “My dooky braids are dookying” 💀

[@RTAP-2024]

This is why you can’t be too nice & understanding cause she showed you she didn’t care about what you had going on. That’s a lesson learned, when people show you their true colors in the beginning believe them and move on. Sorry that happened to you love ❤️

[@patriciagurley_]

I’m only 15 mins in Isi and I was not expecting this. So sorry this happened to you but that hair stylist was literally a red flag PRIOR to your wedding date! After the first time she didn’t respond back, my gut would’ve told me she wasn’t reliable at all because who wouldn’t be on top of their appointments ESPECIALLY an appointment where someone is booking you a flight/hotel.

[@joylucas5476]

This gave ME anxiety! I am sooooo sorry this happened to you on your day. 🥺

[@deboralunna]

I could feel how tired Isi was of explaining this situation. Am sorry you had to go through this on your wedding day. I thank God that at the end of the day you got married to your best friend and partner for life 🙌🏾 But the audacity of her charging you the full price and reducing it to $750 was extreme. I’d have ignored her just as she had ignored you when the entire time before your wedding…

[@therealflawedbeauty]

This literally brought tears to my eyes. YOU. DID. NOT. DESERVE. THAT. At alllll!!! Especially on a once in a lifetime very special occasion. I definitely felt every emotion in this video! You are so amazing though!! Thank you for sharing this experience with us!

[@staciawalker1]

That is totally disgusting and so unprofessional! No one should have gone through this. I’m so sorry that was your experience. Congratulations on marrying your person. I’m happy for you and Josh

[@TiredofAds]

The second-hand disappointment and sadness I felt watching this… I’m sorry you went through this. I think you were extremely patient with her. Sometimes you gotta call and go “full Karen mode” on the phone when people act unprofessional . I’m glad eventually your wedding planner helped her understand just how bad she messed up. I hope she payed for that flight she didn’t take too cuz that’s crazy. I’m glad you did look amazing on the day of tho and it sounds like everything else went well on your wedding day. I probably would have cried angry tears down the aisle had I had I had been in your shoes and snapped at the stylist tbh. As Entrepreneur myself you learn quickly the power of bad review it can ruin a business. I just hope she learns and does better.

[@pittresident1220]

So sorry that you experienced that concerning your special wedding day. You had me crying and feeling emotional with you. You are ENTIRELY blessed to be married to your best friend in front of GOD, your parents, and all of your company. May I say, YOU LOOKED FIERCE, TOTALLY STUNNING!!...I happen to be a black stylist who is prompt and professional and urge you to continue to spend you dollars with BLACK people/companies as I always make it my business to do so, also, it's vital. You seem to be happy with the other BLACK businesses, please don't let that experience deter you. May your life and marriage be continually blessed...

[@desiv3025]

I'm the type of person that when I plan something and it doesn't happen as planned, I lose it. So the fact you remained calm and respectful through all of this nonsense is astounding. God's grace really does reside within you.

[@ruqayyah1997]

So disrespectful. I can NOT be as calm and rational as you were. I would be livid and she would have been replaced immediately after the bridal shower ordeal. But you handled that and I’m glad you got it out and had good people around to help.

[@briserenity]

“This is your fault” it really is her fault! 🥺 To not have those pictures with mom and bridesmaids has me furious. I wonder if this stylist took on more than she is used too. 🥺😞 Your positivity is on another level. 🙏🏾✨🫶🏾

[@sha2596]

Seriously! She should almost be liable for the photography charge for the missed photos! Photographers are not cheap! I would have charged her per hour for her lateness.

[@ohgurlplease]

As a photographer, I appreciate how intentional you were with wearing your natural hair on your honeymoon and bridal events leading up to that! I'm a black couple and family photographer and I'm constantly looking for inspo, especially when planning out photoshoots.

[@cee2random]

I recently had a similar experience with a lash tech, the lack of unprofessionalism and “get the bag” type attitude is too much for me. People gotta separate skill from customer service. WE deserve both, at the same TIME. I hate this happened to you, but im glad you shared your experience. Ugh the audacity

[@ShannB]

You were extremely patient with this woman and I don’t know if I would’ve been that understanding . So If I wasn’t getting a response for 3-5 days it would’ve been clipped . Nice message saying I’m sorry I think I’m going to find someone else

[@jcbutterfly95]

Yeah, the bridal shower experience should have encouraged you to find a new hairstylist for the wedding . Also out of curiosity, why was her flight scheduled for the day of the wedding ? With flight unpredictability and delays, it seems like it would have been better to fly her in the day before. Could have alleviated a lot of stress . But also I understand the cost of having to pay for a hotel and things .. . I’m sorry this happened to you Isi , but hopefully this was a learning experience for you. There are tons of great black hairstylists right there in Chicago ! Don’t count them all out!

[@jennierandomz]

I must say your inital message to her about your concerns was beyond commendable ! So sorry this happened to you. I had to pause this video several times cuz It was so stressful. God bless you and your strengths, patience, maturity, and compassion.

[@linziee4661]

I’m soo sorry you had to endure that, but your strength definitely shined through with your identity being stolen and the hairstylist ghetto-ness(🙄). My heart literally breaks knowing you couldn’t enjoy those moment with Josh, your mother, and the bridesmaids prior to the wedding. I truly wish you the best and I’m so proud that you advocated for yourself!!🤎

[@omgitstiab]

So like… who we gotta fight. Cause this was your special day and you’re such a beautiful person inside and out and you did NOT deserve that BS!

[@ReniseBleck]

Hearing you cry in this video makes me so emotional 🥺this day meant so much to you and I’m so sorry for how it played out but I’m also so happy at how beautiful everything turned out for you 🙏🏽 God’s (and your dad’s) presence is always with you and i love love love that for you 🤎congratulations honey! Such a huge fan of both of you and wishing you both an extremely pleasant and blessing filled marriage from here 🙌🏽

[@ellie5373]

Shit, I would have spent 4-5 business days in between each text response when she started chasing you for the money via text right after the wedding. Must not feel great, hm?

[@nikkijackson3363]

This would’ve been me!!!

[@HeyRuuuu]

Exactly! The roles reversed and she then, wanted to be consistent about her money that wasn’t even deserved!!

[@CupcakeBeauty24]

Right...now she knows how to respond and initiate a conversation. I would have ignored her pleas for payment for 2 weeks.

[@TheMizzqb]

Right!

[@aprilsnow2296]

I was thinking the same thing when she said that. 😄

[@jenjimac4612]

Sue her behind. I see these cases on the court shows all the time. But even if you don’t, she’ll get hers.

[@aspiringtravelfoodie]

girl you need to expose her. I would hate for someone else to go through this bullshit also

[@amazonbeauty2530]

not her suddenly being able to text back consistently and quickly when it was time for her payment I'm CRYING

[@iamtianajames7868]

I hope she sees this video and it encourages her to revisit how she runs her business. So sorry you had to experience this.

[@ayeemee]

The fact that it got worst each day is terrible smh. So sorry ISI! I’m thinking maybe you & Josh can take those Chicago pictures on your one year anniversary. Still not as perfect as the wedding day, but would be a nice memory to celebrate tying the knot in Chicago! ❤️

[@jheiavee]
