Yesterday I went to this salon and had a really bad experience. I’m not trying to shame this salon, but I need to share my honest review. I went there for dressing and makeup for my friend’s wedding, along with others who were also attending the wedding. This salon also did the makeup for the wedding group. The owner is a male, and there was another lady helping because it was a busy day. I saw the makeup done for the others before me, and honestly, they looked good. But when it was my turn, I showed him an inspiration picture of the makeup style I wanted. He didn’t even do anything close to it. After the makeup, I looked completely different in the worst way possible. I’m not saying I have a perfect face or that I’m extremely beautiful, but I’m not ugly either. This artist literally made me look like a different person. And that lady was so rude and jealous for no reason. While draping my saree, she kept saying unnecessary things to me. When I showed her a picture of myself to explain the hairstyle I wanted, she said, “Appoo, is that even you? I can’t recognize you,” in such a negative tone, clearly trying to insult my appearance. Why are you even working in a salon if you are jealous of the people who come to you? Customers come expecting a little enhancement to their beauty, not to be made ugly because of your jealousy or attitude. The bride, bridesmaids, flower girls, and the other members who got dressed by this salon actually looked really nice. But for me, I genuinely feel like they intentionally did me wrong. When you run a salon, you should listen to the customer’s requests, not just do whatever you want. And if something cannot be done, explain it politely instead of bullying or insulting people. Artists are supposed to make people feel beautiful, not insecure and disappointed. I’m not even going to share all the things that lady said to me, but I truly do not recommend this place for new customers. It honestly feels like they only do their job properly for their regular clients. I didn’t even take a single picture because I hated the way I looked. I even cried when I came to the hotel . I’m really disappointed because I paid money just for someone to ruin my face.
