HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AT ANGIE'S SALON!*

Ok so you all must know about angie’s salon and institute right? ‘A very famous salon with great service’ that was my (first) thought. My aunts wedding was yesterday and she wanted to get her make up done by Angie cause two of my other aunts also got their make up done by her. Angie is quite famous in my large family.*So here’s what happened . We were late , about half an hour late ( not on purpose. My aunt had fainted because she was on a strict diet and had not eaten anything the whole day).*When we entered they were like " you should’ve informed us" we apologized and went upstairs to change. Well, my aunt went to change, me and my mom went with her. When she was going to the changing room she joked ( JOKED!) " what if there are any cameras?" we laughed( me n my mom) anyways so she was wearing this tiny shirt and shalwar and there was a male make up artist down stairs so she felt awkward and asked one of the girls to ask him to go. ( my aunt didn’t know if he was a make up artist. She thought he was just a worker there since we never knew that angie’s salon even had any male make up artists. We *found that out later) she told us that the guy was a make up artist, so we kept quite. Nails were first. We had brought our own artificial nails so we asked the woman who was going to do her nails to apply *those artificial nails. She said that they eould charge 700 for the application and we were like " seriosly? We have brought our own nails. You just need to apply them." my mother *also told her that my aunts black heads were all visible and that they had not done a good job at removing them. And that’s when Angie came and started shouting at us " how dare you come to my salon and complain. You already wasted alot of my time by coming late and now you complain? How dare you ask one of make up artist to leave! If u are so religious then go get your make up done at home. You think we have cameras here? We sell dirty pictures! It’s what we do!. *And let me tell you that no one can remove black heads in one sitting! U should know that! I will not tolerate this. If you have any problem than leave." she pointed her finger at us and turned to leave and that’s when I lost it . " the only one with the problem here is you and that’s an attitude problem" I said. She pointed her finger at me and told me to keep my bloody mouth shut and then I told her to make *me.*She said that she had never been insulted like this before . " everyone knows that I’m the humblest make up artist in karachi" she said. And I laughed. We *just saw her humbleness right then and there. My mother politely told her to cool down and that she didnt want to fight. She (Angie) asked me to leave and went down stairs. She returned and told us that she will not do the make up and that we could have our money back. I told her that that’s okay cuz well just go to sab’s and then she said that she will not return the money and that we should get out. I seriously couldnt believe it. I always pictured her as a down to earth women who’s really talented. My aunt was crying on her special day! Angie even cursed at me! She said horrible things to me. And I’m just fourteen. She was like " u +ing bi. " and I was like “right back at ya” seriously , if she cant handle a few complains, then she should just cl0se that salon of hers. The only reason i talked back was because she insulted my mom. Who talks to their client that way anyway? Are every salon owners like this? I mean seriously, she just came and started shouting at us and when we talked back, it became a hell house. She said that she had the right to kick us out. All of her workers came upstairs and ganged up on us. My aunt did get her make up by her but we’re never going there again. It’s really sad you know. People can just ruin their own image without even caring. If you think what she did was wrong then don’t go there. Ever. If you think otherwise then you’re free to do as you choose. After this experience I don’t think i trust any salon now. Maybe they’re all the same. * * *I hope you are reading this Angie : when you die, I’ll be the first to spit on you’re grave :stuck_out_tongue: ( finally got that out of my system) so what do you guys think? I also cursed at her but she started it and like anyother normal teenager, I can’t always control my anger. The only regret I have is not slapping her when she was pointing her finger at my mom. Insult me, I’ll take it. Insult my mom, well you are about to see how colorful my vocabulary is. Seriously, never go to angie’s . *In the end , she told my aunt *"chotti bachi bht batameez thi. " like seriously??? Now I’m the one to blame?? I wasn’t the one who just came and started yelling at some people who were paying her.*Oh and forgot to add, in between all that yelling she added " the only reason im respecting you is because it’s your wedding. " you call that respect?Thank u for reading this very long rant of mine and please avoid angie’s as much as possible .*P.s I hated the make up..:stuck_out_tongue:

wow that was crazy and upsetting!..is she angie marshall btw?

Re: HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AT ANGIE'S SALON!*

i've heard sooo many stories like this about very famous make up artists, i don't get what their attitude is coming from seriously, that's why i want to do to my own make up on my wedding even if it's not professional, i'd rather have a peaceful mind and do what i like instead of bearing their attitude and ending up looking a churail

Re: HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AT ANGIE'S SALON!*

Don't know

Re: HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AT ANGIE'S SALON!*

isn't it quite normal in Pakistan? i mean i've been seeing all this attitude thing in pakistan in last 2 years, every single person in service shows you attitude and treats you as if they are the king and you are their awam.....

Anyway... i am also a bit turned off on my wedding shopping after visiting wedding pakistan liberty lahore and hanif jewlers near origa..... they never miss a chance to rip you off, seriously.......i'm so hoping that my fiance agrees on a court marriage instead :(

Re: HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AT ANGIE'S SALON!*

Ditto, I plan on doing my own makeup also. Just so I can take my time but also because I find it very sentimental. And OP, sorry to break it to you but you guys did start on a bad note so you both are to blame. OF COURSE she had no right to be rude or insult clients (and your mom) but you guys kinda' did act like they were at your disposal.

Of course her behavior is not acceptable by any means and no excuse or justifying it. Just sayin'.

Re: HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AT ANGIE'S SALON!*


And how come we started on a bad note? If you're talking abt being late than I never asked my aunt to faint. There was nothing we could do abt it.

Re: HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AT ANGIE'S SALON!*

OMG I CANT BELIEVE THIS! She seemed very calm and polite on the Tv..it really sucks i dont know what they are bigheaded for...her salon would left out empty if she keeps her goddamn attitude like that!

Re: HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AT ANGIE'S SALON!*

Not talking about fainting, of course.

Re: HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AT ANGIE’S SALON!*

^ M, I disagree. They must have paid a good bit of money to these so-called famous professionals and when we pay so darn much, they really should be at our disposal especially on our big day. They couldn’t have prepared for the aunt fainting, there was nothing wrong in asking the dude to step out for a minute, the morons did NOT have to be petty and ask for an extra 700 rupees just for applying false nails, they did not have to flip out that the customer complained about blackheads, if the blackheads couldn’t be removed in one setting why wasn’t the customer told eariler? Some of the girls here have had to deal with this attitude only because they dared suggest something about the makeup … :nahi:

Re: HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AT ANGIE’S SALON!*

i cant believe it, :eek:

Re: HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AT ANGIE'S SALON!*

You need to grow up.

Re: HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AT ANGIE'S SALON!*


Excuse me??

Re: HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AT ANGIE'S SALON!*

They didn't behave perfectly, but neither did you, based on your own telling.

And then you both escalated the situation.

Re: HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AT ANGIE'S SALON!*

Thank God I read this...so Angies is out of my list now!

Re: HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AT ANGIE'S SALON!*

what's with all the * * * * s?

Re: HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AT ANGIE'S SALON!*


What was I suppose to do? Im sorry but I'm just couldn't sit their and take all of her insults.

Re: HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AT ANGIE'S SALON!*

Pixxie,

I know how you felt and I know that at your age I probably would've reacted the same way.

But you forgot something very important in your interactions. This was your Aunt's big day, and the main goal for you and all those close to her was to make sure that it went smoothly, and that she was content. Even if it meant swallowing your pride. Even now you are so caught up in getting revenge on this make up artist, that you mention that the make up was terrible with a playful smilie attached, not considering that again this was about your Aunt and how she looked/felt on her wedding day.

Re: HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AT ANGIE'S SALON!*


Two of my other aunts have also gotten their bridal make up done by her so I now how the make up was suppose to look like. My aunt's valima make up was done at Alle Nora and it was a hundred times better. The reason why I posted this story here was to let you all know what to expect from her. I know that if I had kept my mouth shut, the outcome wouldn't been different but think abt u it this way; if i u call you a bit** for no particular reason at all would you just stand/sit there? Or would you fight back?

Re: HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AT ANGIE'S SALON!*

No. I wouldn't stand there and take it.

I understand why you felt as you did. Your mistake was in the way you handled the situation because it added stress and tension rather than relieving it. It took the focus off of what was really important on that big day. And it's important to keep that perspective.

We also have tons of bad reviews on here. And it's great that people are willing to share their personal experiences. But your tone does affect how seriously readers take your review.
