About Us

Primp & Proper is a premier Vancouver beauty salon, specializing in luxury lash, brow, makeup, and hair services. Proudly woman-owned and operated by Faye Smith, founder of the award-winning Faye Smith Agency, Primp & Proper is where timeless beauty meets modern artistry — all delivered in a space that feels warm, private, and downright gorgeous.

Originally launched in 2015 when Faye’s bustling on-site bridal company outgrew its studio, Primp & Proper has evolved into one of Vancouver’s most sought-after destinations for elevated everyday beauty.


Our New Heritage Home

In 2025, Primp & Proper moved into a stunning new salon inside the historic Duncan Building at 119 West Pender St, Suite 215, right in the heart of downtown Vancouver.

Nestled in a beautiful private two-room suite, our salon features:
Soaring heritage ceilings and original architectural details
🌸 A giant flower mural, antique mirrors, gold trim, and hanging greenery 
💡 LED-lit makeup vanities for perfect lighting
🪑 Plush memory foam lash beds, cozy fleece blankets, and reclining hair & makeup chairs (yes — you can nap while we work!)
☕ An adorable pink Keurig machine stocked with tea & coffee (oat milk and 2% milk), plus bubbly waters coming soon in our vintage pink fridge

It’s cleaner, tidier, and just bloody gorgeous — the ultimate space to relax and get pampered.
