Kim Basran Institute

From the moment, I started to plan my son's wedding, one of the first things I thought about was whose going to do my hair and make up. As being the mother of the groom, this would be such a special moment and I wanted to look my best ! Of course, there have been many HMU artists that have surfaced over the years, I could have gone with any one of them. However , there was not even a doubt in my mind that I wanted Kim . As someone who has extensive experience, I knew right away I could trust her . I could be open and honest of what I wanted. that to me was invaluable. It was important for me to look like myself. I have short hair, but the first thing Kim said to me, with a bundle of energy was , just watch and see what I do ! I was not sure what Kim could do, but wow, she did such an outstanding job on all of my looks (3) . Each event, I got so many compliments. She truly made me feel great !! I look back at the week that I spent with Kim and add that to the special memories of the wedding week. She goes the extra mile to make you feel comfortable , she listens,, she talks , she jokes around and she played my favourite music to get me ready for the events ! It was perfect :) Thank you so much Kim ! I will be back . Kudos to you Kim !!

If I could give a 10/5 I would. Kim is the epitome of a hair and makeup artist. I felt like a million dollars. My hair was amazing and the makeup- not caked on, I actually couldn't even feel that I had makeup on. The biggest thing that stood out for me was that it still looked like me. It was so natural. Definitely going back and I very very highly recommend Kim Basran.

I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting Kim and indulge in a fun session getting my makeup and hair done for a very special evening event. She shows great expertise in this art and I was extremely thrilled with the outcome. Kim has such a warm personality and just makes you feel right at home. Such an amazing experience and a real treat to see Kim!

I had an amazing experience with Kim. I reached out to Kim as I was dealing with some hair issues. She is so knowledgeable that I was lucky that she was able to teach me how to manage my hair. She is a great teacher and I am so lucky to have connected with her. Her demeanour is very pleasant, encouraging and patient. Best of all she opened my eyes to minimizing my product use and just using manual techniques. A great eye opener. She is a person you would want to to learn from. Thanks Kim I enjoyed our session and can’t wait to book the next session.

Kim did such an amazing ! I had two events to go to in the evening and I didn't even have to retouch my makeup. She has a great personality and gave such awesome tips during the process. I would definitely come back to her for the future :)
