Here is when the problem begins. Promising to pay her is a huge thing to do, especially when you know, deep down, they won't. And that is the problem when you work for family or do things for them, especially when it's about your own job. For this hairstylist, she took time off her paying clients to attend to them, so having them pay for her time and supplies is the least they can do. Family should be the first to help you out and honor your time and work.
Well… I guess the mother-in-law wasn't happy about being charged, even though she promised to pay months ago. It doesn't make any sense. Besides, why put her son in the middle of the argument? Her husband has nothing to do with her professional career, since she paid for it all on her own and never asked anyone for help. Demanding the payment she's entitled to, to afford the supplies she needs for her hair and makeup, is essential for the MIL if she wants to be ready for the wedding. This is why setting boundaries with your own family is often more important than doing it with other people.

The husband doesn't want family problems, but having him pay his wife for his mother's services won't solve them. Instead, the wife will get away with her complaints, and the hairstylist will have to keep working for free. Having them for her time and work is also a sign of respect, and I would demand it from my family the most.
