Did I say/do something wrong Ms. Lady?

I have had my share of hair drama in the past, so I wanted to make my sisterlock experience as drama free as possible. My first step in the process was to find a loctician. I emailed three trainees from the sisterlock website and got a response from two. I made an appointment with the first loctician. I liked her personality, hours and price. What I did not like was that I was going to be her first loc-instillation on her own. I am a busy girl and I was more than a little worried about a newbie having her hands in my head for who knows how long (days, weeks, or however long it took to finish). Well I did the consult and she put in my tester locs and told me I had to wait for 6 weeks before the install. Six weeks! I thought it was a 2 week waiting period, but what do I know. She said that she had double checked after seeing my reaction and there is recommended six weeks wait. After some soul searching I decided that maybe I should do a consult with the other loctician. I really did not want to regret my decision and chose the first person I met with. The second loctician was nice, had the experience the first person was lacking, the pictures of clients that I required, and she showed me her work on the practice head. Those are three important things that the first loctician could not give me (they were both nice). The downside is that she rarely does weekends, lives a little bit further then the first lady, and she cost a lot more money. The second loctician knew that I went to someone else first and had no problem with giving me some time to make up my mind. She put in my tester locs and I was out the door. Does everyone knows about the rule of three? Out of the three things; cheap, fast, and good, you will rarely get all three. You might get two, but rarely three. You have to decide what you are willing to let go of. I know the second lady was not going to be cheap, her work looked good, and I think out of the two locticians she might be faster. The first loctician was cheap, but who knows which one of the other two things I was going to get. I chose loctician number two of course. I sent loctician number one an email explaining that I was going to have another person do my instillation and that I hope that I could use her in the near future for re-tightening. What I got back from her was a dear Jane email that basically said thanks but no thanks.I hope there is no hard feelings on her part and I also hope that I did not offend her.
