Just came back from my formals appointment, and Iām sorry to say I was disappointed again. Not with their clothes, but with their professionalism, or lack thereof. I had made my appointment about a a couple of weeks back, and finally when I went today I ended up getting greeted by the receptionist and a young girl who Iām sure is just kept for ironing the clothes or something. They proceeded to tell me that both Menahel and Mehreen were unavailable, and could I please re-schedule my appointment. I was livid as to why they couldnāt tell me this earlier, and they said that they wanted to show me around and show me the clothes meanwhile. Which would have not been so bad, except they didnāt know anything! I have yet to know the price of a single jora there, whenever I would ask the price they would just look at one another and shrug their shoulders. UGH! The clothes were really beautiful, but for the formals (as in something that I can wear as a newlywed bride, or to a wedding), they were all quoted to me as being āat least over 1 lakhā. So at least according to my budget theyāre not all that affordable. The casual and semi-formal stuff was okay, too casual for my taste and what I need right now. I left without making another appointment because itās drives me INSANE when I make an appointment and the designers donāt show up and donāt call and let me know to cancel. I refused to work with Faiza Samee for the same exact reason. So letās see if I get in touch with them in the future.
Iām really shocked to hear that since Iāve been going to Menahel and Mehreen for about three years now and not once have been disappointed by their service or their professionalism. Since I am one of their regular customers Iāve been to them several times over this year and have also been attended by that young girl. I think sheās new there but a really sweet girl nonetheless. Infact once I had gone for my formal appointment and was showed around by her since the two of them werenāt there. She didnāt reveal any prices which did frustrate me a bit even but thier work is very personalised so I get it now why the two of them must be present. Although I agree with you that the two sisters need to stop cancelling their appointments
I really feel that you need to be little less judgemental and give them another shot. They are pretty good.
That is very disappointing! They should have somebody who can cancel appointments and lets clients know as need be. No matter how personalized anybodys work putting a price tag on it is not rocket science! unless ofcourse ur charging ppl depending on how much you can get out of them, which again is totally unethical.
In my opinion, the services of menahel and mehreen arenāt impressive. The are ridiculously booked and that was extremely disheartening! I wanted to place my bridal order with them (i called in feb this year) and told them the wedding is in December and the sales representative told me "sorry weāre booked till March next year!!! I mean hello! Not the top designers like HSY or Karma or any of the rest are that tightly booked! Maybe theyāre just imposing attitude! Total thumbs down!
I went to Menahel and Mehreen a couple of weeks ago and i must say i was very disappointed! I didnāt like a single formal and they were massively overpriced. Their formals start at 85. 000 (these were the simple ones, the heavy oneās are for 1 lakh)!! and they said that theyāve raised their bridal prices to 4 lakh at least! She showed me two bridals and my first thought was that these guys are coping bunto! iāve seen VERY similar dresses in the bunto tread.
also, i later found out that either mehreen or menahel did an intership at buntoās and got all of buntoās contacts for kaam wala ect and then started her own thing using the same people.
IMO, if you can afford a 4 lakh bridal you might as well go to bunto or dr. haroon. these guys are not worth it.
