So tonight was my hair and makeup trail! I booked it after work so i could get it in on time and without too much travelling. Anyway, I got there and met the MUA we talked for a little bit and got some of the bases started when the hairdresser arrived, she seemed flustered apologised for being late and i didn't think much of it. she popped back in to ask what i wanted her my hair and it struck me something was off. her speech was slurred and she had trouble balancing. I tried to shrug it off. no one would turn up to work drunk surely?
then she comes back and mid way thru talking to the MUA she drags me off to see my headpiece and how to wear. She a little rough handed and its sinking in she's drunk. she definitely drunk. then she says whatever i want she can do but she needs to go back to her little girl. this is without even touching my hair properly just rough hand gestures of me holding it up with my hands.
By now the MUA speak up and says she cant do that, she's not done anything. so she asks me again how do i want my hair, she's forgotten completely. i mouth gesture to the MUA 'I think she's drunk' she nods and carts her off to one side. they come back the hairdresser apologise profusely about being unprofessional then start telling her about her new baby girl, her exceedingly recent breakup up her BF and now her manager is gonna fire her! She eventually leaves. and we continue on with the trail the whole time the MUA apologising about the situations and saying they wont be using her. we still have a nice time talking though.
when I left, the MUA said she wouldn't charge me for the trail now and would get her manager to either do it for free or 1/2 price.
I'm actually a little shocked! what a day! never a dull moment here! The makeup does look good and she did do what i asked for and added her own professional advise to it but i have to say its shaken my confidence a little. first they cancelled my first appointment due to sickness now this ... hmmm.
what would you do?
