Hair & Makeup PROS!

I’ve used Borlase Beauty personally for my own wedding, and have been a bridesmaid at multiple other weddings they have worked. The service, value, and professionalism has always been amazing. They have someone for everything: curly, straight, extensions, updo, makeup of all styles, even brow professionals!

Best hair and makeup team!

The Borlase Beauty team was incredible to work with from the first contact to the wedding day. Communication was always quick and easy, the portal has all emails, files, inspiration pictures, etc. in one place, which is so helpful during the chaos of wedding planning!
The quality and effort of the team shines through on the day itself. The team planned the morning so perfectly, which allowed to have a stress-free getting ready moment. Everyone getting services looked absolutely stunning, compliments kept flowing all day!
I can't thank the Borlase Beauty team for being part of my day, and I would book them again in a heartbeat!

July Alderlea Wedding

Thank you to Alysha for coordinating such a perfect day! The pricing was clear and consistent for the services available, and the booking process was super easy. For my trial, I went to Brampton to Krysten's in-home studio, where she worked magic on my hair, and Melissa worked magic on make-up. Both Krysten and Melissa were professional and worked with me to set a look that I loved. On the day of the wedding (the actual hottest day of the year), Krysten, Melissa, and Stephanie kept it cool and were amazing for my whole bridal party and the moms. It was a lovely morning of stories and laughs. All of our makeup lasted all day, and even the hair held up pretty well in the humidity! They made my day so lovely and smooth and I could not be happier! Thank you!
