help me gauge what the lighting salesperson told us

We met with our builder's recommended salesperson in her showroom to discuss lighting for our new build. She told us two things that confused me. First is that we should put a flush mount in the foyer because there isn't enough height for a chandelier. The ceiling is 9'. Then we said we wanted lighting in the master bath for our aging eyes so we can see to shave or put on makeup. We read that lighting on both sides of the mirror, plus overhead lighting, is best. She said we didn't need side lighting (or sconces) at the mirror's sides because it wouldn't help, and that all we need is a 3 or 4-light bar over the mirror. What do you think of her advice?
