The Lovely Artistry

Thank you to Via and her team for doing such a wonderful job on me and my bridesmaids’ hair and makeup! Their attention to detail and customizing the makeup to everyone’s unique features was amazing. They blew my hair out of the park – they made me feel like a fantasy princess with the waves, leaves, and flowers. My makeup and hair lasted all night and looked perfect despite my oily skin and nervous sweats! They made me feel so special and beautiful on my big day.

The Lovely Artistry team did such an amazing job for our September 26 wedding!

Communication was seamless and Via was so quick to respond to ensure all my questions were answered and needs were met. After my hair trial, the team took the time to ensure my feedback was captured so that the style was perfect for the wedding day. Via, Angela and Sarah did an incredible job with me and my bridesmaids and helped to make the getting ready process so relaxing and enjoyable.

I would highly recommend The Lovely Artistry for your wedding day - it was a wonderful experience and my girls and I looked amazing (if I do say so myself)!

I found Via and her business through Facebook and met her for a consultation at a cafe in our shared neighborhood. She's kind and helpful--I actually found my planner (and subsequently other vendors) through her. On my wedding day, Via (and Ting) did HMU for myself, a bridesmaid, and my mom and mother-in-law. None of us know much about makeup so we were happy to narrow down a few looks and then let them take the reigns on making us feel beautiful and glamorous! Via and Ting were efficient but didn't make anything feel rushed. And I'm thankful that Ting was willing to travel to my in-laws to do my mother in laws makeup separately.

I met Via before we decided to hire The Lovely Artistry for our wedding in October - not for a trial at first, just to meet her to see if we would be a good fit. I found that 9 times out of 10 I could tell if I was going to be happy with a vendor after meeting them, and this was no exception. Via was instantly warm, friendly, and very informative - which immediately put me at ease, and made my decision super easy. We ended up doing two make up trials before the wedding - the first trial was with an airbrushed look which ultimately just felt too heavy for me (I don't wear a lot of makeup normally). I got a LOT of compliments though - I just didn't feel as comfortable. We did a second trial just to be safe - and it was even better than the first one! I LOVED my make up, and loved working with Via. She is super open to feedback! For the wedding I had Via and Angela for makeup and hair and they came to us, and did me plus 5 other ladies - everyone had nothing but amazing things to say about the whole experience, and still come to me to tell me how lovely the ladies were the whole time. I am obsessed with looking at my own hair and make up photos as well - 15/10 - no regrets!

When we first booked with them they were in the transition from "The Lovely Artistry" to becoming "The Lolita Collective" (https://thelolitacollective.com/). Via was absolutely amazing and really focused on what vision I had for my makeup and hair. She really wanted me to be comfortable and really provided the natural look that I wanted. The makeup and hair were amazing and it held through a rain storm before our ceremony, which says a lot about the quality of her work. Both Via and Ting made my bridesmaid, my mom and myself feel beautiful for the wedding day and I couldn't have been happier.

Clara (makeup) and Angela (hair) were superb! My schedule for trials was incredibly hard to arrange, and we also asked for a last minute trial for my mother's hair as well (only days before the wedding), and these ladies were incredible. All of our hair and makeup stayed exactly in place for the whole day - I didn't use my touch up kit once! This was all despite dancing up a storm, 30+ degree heat in direct sun, bawling my eyes out, and having very fine wispy hair that holds nothing. 200% recommend!

Via and Linda are both phenomenal artists. They took my inspiration photos and adapted them to what suited me and my look for the day. I felt glamourous, yet still natural. My hair and makeup lasted through the night with no touch-ups.

The entire process was effortless, stress-free and professional. Via communicated with me every step of the way, to prepare me for the trial and day of and to make sure that the look was exactly what I'd wanted. They are both also lovely people - it made the entire experience feel like hanging out with friends.

I would highly recommend :)

The lovely artistry team did a fantastic job at my hair and makeup. I wasn't sure what I wanted but they created exactly what I dreamed of! Professional, lovely (as the name suggests!) and couldn't have been happier.

Clara and Linda were so professional and easy to work with. Clara was always quick to respond to emails, kept to your word by being early in the morning (at my request) and afternoon for my touch up and did such an amazing job with the hair and makeup. Clara also is extremely calm and patient and this was a great way to start my day. Any time anyone wanted a colour or style adjusted, Clara was agreeable. I got the sense that she wanted to make sure each person was happy with their look. Everyone loved my make up and hairstyles! I cannot thank you two enough and highly recommend you for any future bride!

Excellent price, friendly service, stellar quality of hair and make up!
