Primp & Proper has the house of award-winning celebrity makeup and hair team. We are sister companies with the mobile makeup and hair artist company Faye Smith Agency that uses our salon. Our studio first opened in 2015 when Faye Smith Agency, formerly known as Faye Smith Makeup & Hair, outgrew its live/work studio. As the salon introduced more beauty services including eyelash extensions, eyelash lifts, tinting, and more, the salon rebranded to Primp & Proper.
In 2020, founder Faye Smith, alongside longtime friend Joanna Keller, owner of Joanna Keller Beautique, decided to combine their businesses under one roof. Consequently, a unique, women-led space was born!
Following a period in Vancouver’s Chinatown district, in July 2020 we finally settled into our current location in the historic Gastown area.
