Something Borrowed Beauty

I had the pleasure of working with Tamara on my bridal hair and make-up. Something borrowed was one of the only traveling hair/make-up vendors who would consider staying on-site (paid per hour) for touch ups after our pre-wedding outdoor pictures were completed. And oh my despite Tamara's beautiful work they were needed after 2 hours of outdoor pictures in January. Tamara was also very helpful during my trial run the week before in preparation and she did a great job with my maid of honor's hair and make-up while we were out and about having pictures having pre-wedding pictures done. My only troubles came from working with the booking agents and some long response times given how unprecedentally busy they were in 2022. Also, a few weeks before my appointment they recommended dermaplaning. Try finding a dermaplaning esthetcian in Canmore who DOESNT use rose oil based products. I booked three different appointments and all three use their own care line of products all of which had allergy provoking ingredients. Had I known this would be such an issue I would have had it done a month before in Seattle to avoid the irritating products and if I didnt tolerate the procedure in general my skin would have recovered in time for the weddnig and I would have still had some benefit from having it done. We had a tough time with my foundation in part due to not having the procedure done and my sensitivity to botanicals in cosmetics. Most of my foundation and primer back-ups would have frozen and rolled off of my face in January and my primer would not have been moisturing enough to avoid using what we were forced to. Tamara was able to achieve the desired result but with significant tweaking due to my skin, forever grateful for her skills and grace that long afternoon. My only recommendation for the vendor booking agents would be to send along the information regarding prep for the wedding several months ahead of time. It would have made my preparation less hectic and Tamara's day easier.

We chose Something Borrowed Beauty for our wedding hair and makeup services and are so happy we did! Their system is efficient and their artists are amazing! I personally had Joanne as my makeup stylist and Kelsey as my hair stylist and they did such an amazing job of taking my abstract ideas into beautiful reality! They were easy to chat with and were able to work with a variety of hair and skin types. I cannot recommend more highly!

I am so glad I booked Something Borrowed Beauty for my bridal hair & makeup. The booking process was very well organized and during my trial Tamara really listened to what I was looking for and my hair and makeup was exactly what I envisioned. On the day of the wedding, Tamara did such a stunning job on my hair and makeup, I couldn't have been happier

We hired Something Borrowed for our wedding hair and makeup. Kelsey and Joanne were our artists. We could not be more thrilled with their work and our experience with Something Borrowed.

Everything was seamless, the hair and makeup was gorgeous for myself and my closest friends/family. We loved spending time with Joanne and Kelsey and would not hesitate to recommend them to any brides!

Something Borrowed Beauty was amazing to work with. We had the pleasure of working with Kelsey and Tamara on the wedding day and they did such a great job. My bridesmaids and mother loved their hair and makeup and it lasted the entire day! Kelsey and Tamara made me look and feel stunning, their services really pulled everything together!
I would definitely recommend!

Tamara did my bridesmaids' makeup and mine and we all loved our look. She was very professional and knew what she was doing. She did everything in a timely manner and I was really impressed how my bridal makeup looked so flawless even after the reception. I'm also very happy with how I looked on our wedding photos and video. The owners, Jen and Kelsey, were also great making sure they responded to my queries right away. I would definitely recommend SBB to brides to be out there. And I'd love for Tamara to do my makeup again in the future!

After the trial, we did some tweaking and let me tell you it was worth it! I felt so beautiful all day and Kelsey Smith was amazing to work with! The morning of my wedding is seriously one of my favourite memories because it was so fun working with her!

Something Borrowed Beauty was amazing to work with! I was a pretty picky bride, especially with my hair and makeup but Jennifer and her team worked with me until everything was perfect. Since I had a destination wedding, I scheduled my hair and makeup trial 2 days before my wedding which made me very nervous but I didn’t have any doubts once the trial was all done – my makeup and hair were SO PERFECT. Jennifer was really responsive and she made me a beautiful airbrushed bride :)

I booked these girls last minute for my wedding and man did they ever pull through for me! Came to the hotel with only a few days notice, got everyone ready and beautiful with time to spare. Their subtly stunning hair and makeup styles were exactly what I needed when I needed it most.

Something Borrowed were absolutely amazing on my wedding day! I loved my hair and makeup. My makeup lasted all day, I didn't even want to take it off when I got home. I felt like a movie star on my wedding day and I really appreciate how easy Jen was to work with and communicate with during the planning process.

I also loved how Jen recommended some pre-wedding skincare to make sure my skin looked amazing on the day. And what luck that I bumped into Jen in Sephora when I was trying to pick my wedding lipstick, she really went above and beyond that day!
