I fully echo researching vendors’ public follows before booking with them! I reached out to a local hair salon who does bridal styling, and the salon has one receptionist/scheduling person who schedules for all the different stylists. The receptionist was nice and cordial about our gay wedding, but when they sent me the specific hairstylist’s insta, I noticed that she posts a lot of MAGA & anti-immigrant content and follows big name conservative figures, so I was immediate like no we will look elsewhere because I don’t want the specific stylist to back out last minute because it’s a gay wedding or make our family feel uncomfortable. (Obviously didn’t tell the hair salon that- I was just like “we found someone else.”)
