Rose did my hair as a bridesmaid for another friend's wedding and I was pretty happy with her. Although 2 of the other bridesmaid's hair was falling out at the end of that wedding, mine stayed put and my fiance loved it. So, I used her again for my own wedding and wasn't quite as pleased. She is reasonably priced ($120 for the bride I think and $70 for the bridesmaids), but she is flaky and inconsistent. She arrived ONE AND A HALF HOURS LATE on the morning of my wedding and then claimed that she got confused and thought I was supposed to come into the salon so she was waiting for me. Of course this was a lie, because if I was really running that late, she would have called me to see what was going on. So that really put me off. At least if you are late, own up to it and apologize.

Since she was running so late, she brought another girl with her to help speed things along. I kept telling her not to rush and if we were late, we were late and it was fine. I just wanted everyone's hair to look nice. She must have been rushing, because my hair started falling out right at the start of my reception! It did look nice after she first styled it, but I later had to add in a bunch of extra bobby pins myself to keep it from coming out.

As if that wasn't enough, she didn't even accommodate us when my mom asked for some money off. She insisted that she brought the extra stylist so she was done on time and did her job and didn't want to give us a discount. I told her that I thought that was poor business practice, but I didn't want to argue with her on my wedding day so I let it go. Later on she told me that she would take off her travel cost, but that was another lie, because she wasn't charging me for that in the first place. I was angry, but again I let it go because I just wanted to enjoy myself on my wedding day.

If you choose Rose at Second Glance, be prepared for anything. She can apparently be great sometimes, but totally different other times, and unfortunately, I caught her on a bad day.

I had Rose for my hair and she did mine, my maid of honors, 2 bridesmaids and my mom's. She was really quick and was gone within a couple of hours. One of the main reasons why I went with Rose was because she came to us the day of the wedding so we didn't have to worry about all of us going to a salon - it was just so much easier w/her coming to us. I did feel like she rushed us a little because she had other weddings to do that day too, but overall, we were happy with our hair and it did last all night long.
