Please help me cancel my hairdresser

Get your mum to do it!

You could say you have decided to do it yourself due to lack of money, or that a friend has offered to do it for free. That way you can say you'd really love to use her, but unfortunately you have realised you can't afford it. Bit sneaky but would save her feelings.

Don't say you can't afford it if she is a friend of your mums she might offer to do it for free. How about your bridesmaids booked one as a surprise gift or a friend is doing it or you won a free hairdresser in a competition.

Yeah you could say that your OH booked another hairdresser as a wedding pressie, and he had to tell you when you mentioned your mums friend.

Surely you could just put "I've decided to go a different way"? If she's a professional she'll have experienced this before and shouldn't take it personally. Have you spoken to your mum about how disappointed you were with the trial? If she knows, she shouldn't mind you deciding to use someone else.

I had to cancel my hair and make up lady as well, although she wasn't a family friend so it wasn't too difficult! I would agree with just saying that you've decided to go a different way. If you start making reasons up then it could get a bit awkward for the two of you and your mum as well.

Thank you all for your help, I went with a small lie and it's gone down okay
