Future brides! Do not go here!!! I ordered a wedding dress…read moreand it looked really bad. They are made in China and I don't know what kind of factory they use but it looked really cheap and the bust part wasn't even look the same. One part is pointier than the other part and they don't care about my dress either. Always same answer came back. "Nothing we can do about it" Horrible customer service and all they care is get the money from you. It is not handmade for sure and comparing the price I paid I could had bought much better looking dress from bhldn shop for cheaper price. There are so many much better bridal shops for dresses than bello in Vancouver or online shops. Choosing Bello was my biggest mistake and this place has given me lots of stress when you need to deal with other stuff to do. And also I tried to cancel my order the very next day and of course they refused. I strongly recommend not to go this place so no more upset brides because of this place.

I was thrilled with the makeup and hair services that I received from Mink for my recent wedding…read more My makeup artist was Tracey, who went above and beyond to make sure that everything looked perfect! During the trial she was very detailed and took lots of time to make sure that I was happy with the final look, and on the wedding day the whole team that came (we had a large bridal party, and Mink will provide more assistants to the main artist to make sure that you finish on time) was fantastic. What was important for me too was that everyone had very good hygiene standards when doing our makeup, so nobody was worried about cold sores or breaking out from contaminated product. Everyone's hair and makeup held up and we were done very efficiently. Pictures turned out great!! I'd definitely recommend Mink to anyone looking for a mobile hair/makeup service for their wedding party.

I needed to get a make-up application in the area and "Karin Shoji Makeup" came up when I searched…read morenearby on Yelp. Despite no Yelp reviews at the time, the website had some awesome pictures so I decided to contact Karin to arrange for a time. I e-mailed on Saturday morning - Karin got back to me that same morning for an appointment on Monday afternoon. I put my payment in through Paypal and was all set to go. Easy peasy. Karin's makeup studio is on the 2nd floor of a commercial building shared with another business. I was a little confused about where to go but once I was there it was all good. Her studio overlooks Jonathan Rogers park so other than the scenic view, there is a fantastic amount of natural light that brightens up the studio. I had my eyelashes done at a place nearby (Kinjou Lashes) so I did not do anything related with lashes. Karin asked me several questions related to my skin type, the jewellery I would wear with my outfit, and was open to any specific requests that I had. To be quite honest, I'm a make-up newbie so I left all the creative decisions to Karin and she did great! My make up session went by really quickly (approx. 1 hour) and Karin was quite personable and chatty - it was like doing make-up with an old friend. She uses high quality products - unfortunately I can't name them all but it included MAC, yaby, YSL (the touche eclat) and her makeup brushes were high-quality & soft. She was also nice enough to put together a mini touch up kit for my lips that I could use later in the evening after dinner (she thinks ahead!). Overall - it was quite fun & Karin was great. I got plenty of compliments about my make-up that day so the investment was totally worth it - perhaps I will go back for some make-up classes in the future!

Nice chandelier, cozy couches , comfortable lounge chairs for nail parlour and comfy beds for eye lash extensions. Services are great too. They took their time to put on classic lashes for me.

The stylist was friendly, however, I was disappointed with the blowout service…read more What I received was not what I would consider a traditional blowout. I specifically wanted my hair blow-dried with a round brush for a smooth, polished finish. Instead, the stylist focused on creating curls, which I did not request. I was told the curls would last for three days, but they did not even last through the day. I also felt that the stylist struggled with the actual blow-drying technique and did not seem comfortable or confident working with my hair using a round brush. Unfortunately, once I got home, I also noticed that blue shampoo had been left around my ears, which was disappointing and something I would have expected to be checked before I left the salon. The stylist herself was very friendly, but overall, the service did not meet my expectations for a professional blowout, particularly given the price.

Lovely team for wedding day makeup & hair…read more Zoey & Sana were the hair and makeup artists that helped beautify myself, my bridesmaids and Mom / Mother In Law on my wedding day. They were very kind and professional and helped keep the morning on schedule. Sana did a beautiful job with the makeup for my Bridesmaids. And Zoey did gorgeous natural glam for me and also helped my more senior mom with her makeup (my mom has alopecia and Zoey gave her beautiful false lashes and natural looking eyebrows). *Important note: I didn't do a trial* For my hair, I asked for more beachy curls, and specifically not a super polished curled look. Zoey did a gorgeous half pinned detail in the back, but the curls were far too tight and didn't look like the images I shared. She assured me she'd adjust to make the curls more relaxed but we ran out of time so I ended up having to do some fixing myself to get the look I wanted. I think she wasn't expecting my hair to take curls so well! Ultimately I was a bit disappointed that the hair wasn't totally what I wanted, but since I didn't do a trial and there was no time left for adjustments to be made, I made peace with it. Still a great experience, and I recommend doing a trial. Great value, lovely ladies and overall beautiful glam done by this team!

I booked Purple Haze Artistry for my wedding in May 2013. I had arranged to meet wih Gurv in…read moreOctober of 2012, and she required $800 for my deposit to secure my day and made me sign a contract. In November 2012, without any notice my mother became very ill and required emergency heart surgery. It was then decided that my wedding would have to be postponed to a later date. I contacted Gurv almost immediately, within the next month and explained my situation - almost 5 months before my wedding. She stated that once my fiancé and I had figured out a new date, to contact her. When that time came, Gurv refused to credit me any of my deposit! I had contacted her before that also to try and use this $800 for a nonbridal event, and she continued to refuse. When my husband and I began planning our destination wedding, I contacted her again hoping that my hard earned $800 wasn't entirely lost, and asked what her service charge was for flying her over to the location. Again, the deposit was completely voided and ignored, as if I gave her nothing, and she said she would charge flight, hotel, her makeup service charge for her and her colleague and would require ANOTHER deposit! She stated that I had a signed a contract, and the deposit was non refundable. Despite giving her ample time and told her months before, she sated "she had to turn away so many clients for that day" and she will be keeping the deposit. She had absolutely no sympathy or empathy for my situation - and instead put her contract before any morals or feelings for a client. I am now married, and booked a different makeup aritist for my wedding events. When I explained to her what Gurv, and purple haze artistry had done to me during a very stressful time, she said that if it were her, she would have given me a credit to use for a wedding event or non bridal event. Instead I had paid Gurv for work she did not do. For brides planning your upcoming nuptials, just be careful when signing a contract, this contract is to protect them NOT you. Life throws you unexpected curve balls and you can never prepare for them. Book a makeup artist, that you can trust and you know has your best interests at heart. I will never recommend purple haze artistry to any one for bridal or non bridal.

They…read morejust weren't very good- piled on all the makeup and it came out looking very exaggerated and over-the-top. The makeup girl also talked badly of a previous client who did not like her work. The hair lady was OK....she couldn't do any styles that were flowy or creative, and could hairspray an updo that was meh. Mostly, she used a ton of hairspray and the hair stayed intact but it was forgettable. Overall, the vibes we got from the ladies was odd. They didn't seem friendly, not even to each other and their work just wasn't good enough to warrant their prices or catty attitudes.
