Okay.. so I've been going to this stylist, Felicia for the past year. I liked her, because she knows her stuff when it comes to hair, wasnt scissor happy (the reason why i left the stylist i had before her), and she's a natural hair advocate (wears baby dreads). So I hadn't had a problem with her.. until two weeks ago. I called a month ago to schedule an appointment for long layered box braids on April 1st. She set it, and everything was all good. 2 weeks later, she tells my sister to tell me to call her because she has to change my appointment because she has "regular" customers that she has to take care of that Friday. So I was mad, because that was the whole reason why I scheduled it A MONTH IN ADVANCE to be sure that she'd have the time to do my hair.. I requested that day off from work and everything.
So she says to reschedule it for a tuesday or wednesday because those are her slow days, and I was like well I wont even get my schedule for the week until the Saturday before. So she told me to call her when I got it and we'll see. So I found out that I was off Wednesday (today) and asked her if she'd be able to do it. She said that would be fine, and to come at 8. So today I go there (which is in another town i might add) at 8.. but realize that I left the picture of the style I wanted at home, so I turned around and went home, since she wasnt there yet. So I get back, and she still isnt there. I had called and left a message on the machine when I left to get my picture, just so she'd know I was still coming. But she hadnt even BEEN there. So it's 9am.. I leave to check something out, come back at 9:30 and she still isnt there. So I call her cellphone and she doesnt answer, so I leave a message and go home.
The second I got home she called me saying how she was "sooo sorry" for not showing up for my appointment, and that she'd get one of her hairdresser-friends to do it for me, but I cut her off and told her that I already had someone else to do my hair (I do, now). Then she says how she's sick and isnt going to stay at the shop for long anyway, and I'm like WOW, AND YOU COULDNT CALL ME AND TELL ME THAT 2 HOURS AGO WHEN YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DO MY HAIR?!! It's not like she didn't have my cellphone number. So she asks me if I'm mad, WELL DUH. So she says sorry and I'm like okay whatever and hang up the phone.
I have no intentions of ever giving her my business nor will I ever recommend her to anybody ever again, but do you think that's right? Would you do the same? I only need her to braid my hair, because I'm transitioning, but there are plenty of people who can braid and will charge LESS.. it's just the fact that she's already natural and can help me through my transition that makes me want to go to her. But then again, what good is it to have a good stylist who NEVER SHOWS UP?! (she did this to my mom's friend last month too)
What would you do? (sorry so long)
