I never felt more beautiful!

So many of my guests told me how absolutely beautiful I was, and for the first time in my life, I had to agree. Honestly, I'd never looked this good before! After seeing some of the early prints of photos from that day, that normally critical voice in my head is completely silent. Neetu Sahota was the artist who did the hair and make-up for myself and my mom and I am beyond ecstatic with how everything turned out. My mom is a natural beauty and it was a dream getting to see her glow. Not only did my hair and make-up turn out better than I'd envisioned, but Neetu and the Faye Smith Agency actually helped save the day for me. A couple of weeks before the wedding I had a major hair emergency and was in a panic. I emailed Alice the coordinator, who was always quick to reply to all of my communications. But instead I got a speedy reply from Faye herself; it was Thanksgiving weekend and Alice was away. I was surprised and relieved to get a response over the long weekend and Faye and was able to squeeze me in for a last minute hair trial at the beautiful Primp & Proper salon before the wedding. Neetu put all my fears to rest and I felt confident going into the big day. I would whole-heartedly recommend Faye Smith Agency and Neetu Sahota to anyone wanting to wow their loved ones on their big day. (Photos by Georgia Johnston Photography)

Great service

Faye is great! She did my makeup and my hair and I loved it all.
Her team did my tattoo cover and my bridesmaids makeup/hair and they were all great.

Would definitely recommend.

Amazing experience!!

Anastasia from Faye Smith Agency did an amazing job with hair and makeup. She reached on time and was really professional. She did the makeup exactly like the picture I shared earlier. I didn't have to worry about anything, she had everything required. All the tools and brushes used were clean and hygienic. The entire team was really helpful and flexible with date change requests ( We had to change our elopement plans twice because of the weather condition in Vancouver). Would love to have them for future events.

Most comfortable hair and makeup experience I've had!

Faye and Connie were wonderful. Both were such talented individuals in their skills. Connie had done the makeup for my mom, sister, and mother in law and they were in love with it!. Faye had done my hair and makeup and I had never felt so beautiful. For someone who rarely wears makeup, she had made me feel comfortable with having makeup on my face. Both my hair and makeup had lasted all day & night! In addition, Faye and Connie were quite efficient with their time. A few of us were not ready in the morning, but they were so patient and worked with whoever was ready first.

Dream come true!

If your still thinking about it and looking for more options. Just stop and book Faye, I'm telling you it's worth it.
It was so easy to organized and book with them. I only had to tell her what look and vibe I want for my wedding and she made it come to life.
I didn't even look at the mirror for the whole process and absolutely just trust Faye!
Happy Bride!!!!!!
Thank you so much Faye!!!!!

Faye is awesome

I hired Faye to do make up and hair for my wedding which, sadly, was postponed to next year due to COVID. Rebooking the date with her was no sweat at all. Her team is awesome and very responsive.

I've seen Faye twice now, for my bridal trial and for my engagement shoot. She is so sweet and friendly and does an absolutely beautiful job with hair and make up. I cannot wait to work with her on our new wedding date and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and her team to others.

Perfect, and I don't use that word often

Faye was so wonderful to work with from start to finish. I had booked what would be considered very late in terms of my wedding services but in a covid world my fiance and I decided not to wait any longer.

The artists that I chose (Beatrice & Eugina) were hands down AMAZING! I am so pleased with everything from the trial to the actual wedding day. I am very particular with my hair and makeup and they did everything perfectly both times and I literally did not have anything I would've wanted them to change, they executed the look I was going for gorgeously and made it my own.

I highly recommend Faye Smith Agency and I will certainly be back again for future events.

Thank you!

Beautiful makeup!

My mom, sister and I hired a Faye Smith makeup artist for our brothers wedding in November and she was amazing! I had so many compliments through the night. Her skills enhanced the look I wanted as it was a fall wedding and I was so happy with my makeup!

Highly recommend!!!!!

I was so stoked that the famous award-winning Faye Smith was doing my hair and make-up. I have been a serious follower of her work ever since I got engaged. She is tons and tons of photos of her amazing work on her Instagram, so I had no doubts that I was going to feel and look beautiful. I played around with the idea of getting a trial done just to be comfortable with how I am going to look on the wedding day. I showed her a few ideas on Pinterest and went for the trial. I got exactly the look I wanted, soft natural make up and lose curls.

She is on the ball when it comes to styling you for your special day and she is so full of good positive energy. I felt so clam throughout the whole process and felt so taken care of.

Faye is the sweetest and is very talented. I am so thankful for your attention, care and talent and will for sure be booking you for any future events!
