Rachel Sent on 10/10/2023The best experience!
I had a very intimate wedding this past June on Bowen Island and I’m so glad I chose Refined Beauty Inc to be a part of my day. I booked Flora to do my hair and makeup, as well as makeup for my mother, MIL, and SIL, all of whom had never had their makeup professionally done. Flora was such a calming presence and made everyone feel at ease, it was just like having a friend there! She enhanced everyone’s natural beauty, and it shows so well in photos! I decided not to do a bridal trial and was a little nervous leading up to the day, but I trusted Flora and knew she would make me feel beautiful, and she did just that. I showed Flora a few inspiration photos and she confidently delivered exactly what I wanted! She gave me the most gorgeous soft Hollywood waves, and the most beautiful soft glam makeup, I felt so beautiful! Everything about my experience with Refined Beauty Inc was exceptional; from my first communication with the booking manager Vicky, to my special day getting ready with Flora. I can’t recommend booking with Refined Beauty Inc enough!Refined Beauty Inc's reply:

Refined Beauty checked off all my boxes for our wedding HMUA.
1) All-in-one vendor who's team handles both hair and makeup: Great because you know they already know how to work with each other v. getting separate vendors for hair and makeup. To that, they're definitely a well-oiled machine and work so well together. Also, this requires less vendors to add to your vendor list.
2) Beautiful work who fit within my budget. They have a wide arsenal of looks they can do. My mom and mother-in-law wanted more natural, minimal, and elegant looks and both Flora and Alison knew how to deliver. They both felt so beautiful. My bridesmaids and I wanted more full-glam and, of course, they knew how to make us glow. They knew how to enhance everyone's beauty.
3) They're active on social media: Super helpful so you can reference their work for trail and your wedding day looks. Also, to see if their style fits what you're looking for.
4) Communicative & Organized: From my initial inquiry emails to glamming our moms and bridal party, Vicky was super helpful, quick to respond, and answered ALL my questions. Unlike other H/MUAs, you can easily find their pricing on their website. This was a major green flag for me; doing this showed they don't want to waste anyone's time and I'm ALL about that! To that, they even prepared a day-of timeline for their services that helped me figure out the timeline for the rest of the wedding day.
5) Professional & Sweet: Both Flora and Alison are so easy to work with. Once I met them for my trial, conversations were easy-going, they're kind, gracious, and just genuinely excited for you and your wedding party. They listened to any feedback and happily made adjustments (although, I didn't need much to adjust since they're both experts in their crafts). I am BEYOND happy that I was able to book them for my wedding. All the women they worked on looked to beautiful and felt comfortable in their glam up. I was stressed about finding a good HMUA, but Refined Beauty melted that all away. I knew a could trust them and they definitely delivered! Thank you, Flora, Alison and Vicky!!! -

Flora, Elena and Vicky, the entire team at Refined Beauty are truly the best. They really seem to care about their work and went above and beyond to make sure my wedding glam was perfect. When I first inquired about Refined Beauty, I was in contact with Vicky. She was so professional, and the process to book Refined Beauty was so easy. The services they provided were listed out very clearly, and that was super helpful - especially while juggling other wedding elements. During the process of planning, I shared a draft of my wedding day schedule with Vicky. She saw something that potentially could be a problem and helped me work through it. Because of her helpful advice, a major crisis was prevented - I'm super appreciative of that! On the day of the wedding, Flora and Elena were punctual and efficient. They are both SO talented and were able to capture my vision PERFECTLY. Flora did makeup for a couple of my bridesmaids as well - they both loved their makeup, too! I would highly recommend them for any of your glam needs - wedding or anything else!! They will make you feel beautiful -

Irma Sent on 01/06/2024Wonderful experience!
Refined Beauty was a joy to work with for our wedding day - Vicky and Jenny made me and my bridal party look and feel so stunning! They are both so friendly and personable, which really put me at ease before all the wedding festivities began. They were also super helpful in guiding some of my bridal party in deciding what type of look they wanted. Jenny was super receptive and splendidly delivered some of the changes I wanted to make from my initial trial. We ended up finishing ahead of schedule, which was great. I would definitely recommend Refined Beauty to anyone looking for HMU services for their special day! -

Never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day
I've never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day and a huge part of that was my STUNNING hair & makeup. I originally looked at Refined Beauty but they we're booked up for my date. I then booked an individual HMUA who basically ghosted me after I paid my deposit. I reached back out to Refined Beauty and Vicky worked her magic to book me, I was so thankful! I was booked with Kristin for hair and Khloe for makeup and both were incredible. Kristin is literally a hair genius and Khloe is a makeup master! I was really worried about my hair staying all day but it didn't move an inch. And for my makeup, I decided to change it day of and as soon as Khloe handed me the mirror after, I was in tears, everything was so perfect. Thank you all so much ladies!!!Refined Beauty Inc's reply:
