WARNING: Let me start by saying I did not book Josh (I have never even met him)... but I did have an interesting experience with him.
Earlier this week, I inquired about beauty services but ultimately said "No thank you" and declined. He asked where they dropped the ball, and I said, "We've decided to do our own hair and makeup".
Today, DAYS later, I received the text below out of the blue - I was honest this time and said I was unimpressed with the photos he had sent me and the ones I had seen elsewhere. Well... Josh did not like that. He proceeded to text me several times, minutes apart, saying how I was giving "basic bitch", how I am "budget shopping," and how this conversation was going to make "great social media content."
I hurry to log into Instagram and what do I find? He immediately posted our whole conversation (or at least what he wanted to share) and, again, was insulting me. Commenting on how he "dogged a bullet" working with me. Again, I have NEVER even met this person.
I feel insulted, and he sees it as "entertainment value and showcasing negative emotions."
This is just a warning of what I experienced when I DIDN'T use his services. I am not sure what you would encounter with him on your wedding day.
Here are comments that Josh wrote on the Instagram post:
"Ending up doing your own hair and makeup on your big day is such a pity. And I'm almost certain she will regret her decisions come her big day."
"Got 40K in bookings with deposits collected since October 2023 for the 2024 season. Not worried about anyone seeing this that matters. It's entertainment value."
"She clearly can't find a good makeup artist if she is willing/wanting to do her own makeup and have 6-8 bridesmaids do their own makeup on her big day."
**In the first round of conversations, Josh asked, "Where did we drop the ball" - I gave feedback that he did not like**
"Nothing nice to say, don't say it at all or expect to get a negative response back"....." but to criticize then say you're gonna do your own hair and makeup. Just goes to show no matter what company or Artist she ended up booking a 2nd trial with, she would he unhappy somehow. Usually, they are the ones who claim to be Ex MUA. Or I've been a hairstylist in my past life, I'll just do my own hair and my bridesmaids. Sure go ahead sis, work up a sweat on your big day "
"If she wasn't budget shopping then she wouldn't have inquired, only to say she is gonna end up doing her own hair and makeup."
^^^Again - Never met Josh before, never spoke with him about our wedding - Just making wild assumptions.
"...most don't follow their instructions to arrive with no makeup, clean-washed exfoliated and moisturized face. No picked at pimples. Pimples must be healed or unpicked, no going out in sun days before your big day."..."makeup artist vent to us afterwards asking why they clearly didn't do any skincare routine the weeks leading up to their appointments." -- Talking about his OWN clients!
