As the title states, this was an early birthday gift for me. Last
Tuesday, two days short of my birthday, I learned of Val Villarin's Hair and
Make-up Promo. Come Wednesday, he's officially our hair and make-up
artist!
He was my choice
supplier from the start, being one of the top ten suppliers of W@W in 2011. I
dreamily stared at his portfolio in the early months and wished to be one of
his stunning brides. However, I still wanna be sure with my choice. So last
June, I actively researched for HMUA suppliers. I was able to get in touch with 20 or so suppliers, and despite seeing other stunning portfolios or cheaper
packages, I know deep inside that I still want to be a Val Villarin bride. Not
only have I felt that "this is it" feeling, his rates are reasonable
too! It’s right in the smack of our allotted budget.
We’re just waiting it out a bit before booking him, hoping that he’ll
have a promo in the next few months, or that we’ll catch him in one of the
upcoming bridal fairs. If we’re able to do that, that might save us a few
thousand or get more free services. Who wouldn’t want that right?
And so, after learning of his weeklong promo, I immediately
messaged him in Facebook and sent him a text message to inquire. A few hours
had passed and still no reply from him. Given my impatience, I decided to give
him a call. When I got to talk to him, right then I told him that we’ll get his
services and I’ll deposit the downpayment as soon as possible to officially
block off our date. Since that was around 5PM already, I told him that I’ll
just head to the bank the next day. As soon as I’ve deposited our downpayment,
I shoot him an email confirmation for our payment together with the deposit slip. Hours after that, I received
the scanned copy of our official contract. Happiness! What a great birthday
gift?!
Cheers!
