The most wonderful time of the year is upon us! The holidays are definitely the busiest time of year for parties and get-togethers.

We've compiled a list of some of our favourite Vancouver spots to get your hair, nails and makeup done so you can get to that party on time and looking fly. You can thank us later!
Groupe Dermapure Inc
1495W 11Th Ave W Suite W 11Th Floor 2, Vancouver, BC V6H 1K9True beauty starts with the skin, which is why we’ve always been proactive when it comes to our skin care routines. Simply covering your face with foundation isn't the answer; healthy skin takes effort and commitment. A facial at Project Skin MD is a step towards achieving that desirable flawless complexion. These skincare professionals customize every treatment according to your specific skin type and concerns. We were amazed after our first dermaplaning treatment – this mechanical exfoliation process gives you immediate results and is the perfect pre-party treatment. You get intense soft, supple, hydrated skin with a fabulous glow.
Blink Brow Bar Ltd
577 Bute St, Vancouver, BC V6E 0A9A well-groomed set of brows have the power to transform your whole look instantly. At Blink Brow Bar, owner Kiran and her team are total brow experts. Using a technique called threading, they painlessly shape your eyebrows to suit your face and create a natural looking arch. Call or book an appointment online and you'll be in and out with beautiful brows in just 20 minutes. Our favourite part about getting our brows did at Blink Brow Bar: a delicious homemade cup of chai tea and relaxing massage are provided at every appointment.
Noir Lash Lounge Inc
1150 Hamilton St, Vancouver, BC V6B 2S2Make your eyes the centre of attention this holiday season with long, full eyelashes. Located in Yaletown neighbourhood, Noir Lash Lounge specializes in semi-permanent eyelash extensions. There are more than 100 different lash varieties available to suit every occasion and need. Show-stopping lashes are applied individually with a special adhesive bond that last between two to eight weeks. Whether you are looking for long dramatic lashes for an event, or a more natural look, Noir has you covered. Lashes range in price from $20 (for a quick false lash application) to $250 (for a full set).
Blo Blow Dry Bar
1150 Hamilton St, Vancouver, BC V6B 2S2Red-carpet-ready hair is fast and affordable thanks to Blo, North America’s largest blow dry bar chain. Specializing solely in blowouts – no cuts or highlights here – Blo invites guest to select their desired ’do from a menu of pre-set signature styles (special requests are available for an additional fee). Whether you want that pin-straight conservative look, luscious voluminous waves, a chic ballerina bun, or an on-trend fishtail braid, these stylists can master a wide variety of hairstyles and up-dos that’ll have you looking pretty and polished for your next holiday party.
Pure Nail Bar
202-1030 Georgia St W, Vancouver, BC V6E 2Y3We are huge nail polish junkies, own more bottles than we care to admit and usually paint our own nails. However, we do like to indulge ourselves and pay a visit to an actual salon every once in a while. Pure Nail Bar is a favourite among Vancouverites and offers affordable mani-pedi packages. Cleanliness and safety are a top priority here and estheticians provide guests with a new file, buffer and toe separator at each visit. You’ll find the hottest OPI polishes of the season and magazines just waiting for you to enjoy. Schedule an appointment or simply walk-in.
