poonam monga: I am a freelance artist. I took my fashion course from Luciana. She was awesome and I learnt a lot under her. I highly recommend her to all❤️❤️
mglanfield: Blanche Macdonald has been incredibly supportive with our 2023 hiring season at the Island Currents Spa at Sonora Resort. Their administration team has provided a keen interest, professionalism and ongoing support with our hiring process. In the past we have employed many previous graduates from their school, that provided exceptional high end spa service and treatments to our cliental. I would not hesitate to recommend their school for not only hiring but for student enrollment as well.Michelle GlanfieldSpa ManagerIsland Currents Spa at Sonora Resort
Pam Sklofsky: I was incredibly disappointed with the nail program at Blanche. Highly over priced for the kit and products received. Definitely didn't learn current techniques and we didn't cover a quarter of the notes received for the artificial module. I've heard all other programs at Blanche are amazing but they definitely missed the mark for nails. I didn't feel heard by staff with regards to my concerns until things went to the highest level. Don't forget that WE are your customers, Blanche.
Lisa Liang: I met Caroline Crochet, the owner of La Cachette Spa and a former instructor of Blanche Macdonald. It was then I got to experience my first facial with her and it was absolutely life-changing. With her extensive knowledge, Caroline has single-handedly inspired my new passion in life, SKIN! Knowing that Caroline went to Blanche Macdonald I knew I needed to go there and like that, I was enrolled at Blanche. Starting my first day of class, I met Angie Barnetson, an instructor at Blanche Macdonald. Angie made me fall in love with learning about the skin and doing nails. I now work for Caroline as her senior esthetician. Amazing school that will steer you in the right direction if you want to be in this industry!
R D: God bless holly, Phil, Susan, Barb and the whole team at blanche,What a great and memorable experienceI highly recommend the barbering program,Elite level training by Holly!She will take your skills to the next level!Nothing but good things to say!
Based Adonis: Taryn K gave me such a great shamp and sty that I stopped paying my hydro bill, and have started just going to her for my shamp and sty’s now. Have never been happier
Jamie: My experience at Blanche was excellent. After several years of planning to attend, it did not disappoint.I was fascinated by the many instructor’s authentic backgrounds from various fields like celebrity makeup, fashion week/runway, & TV/film, with work spanning from Vancouver to New York to London to LA. I was often on the edge of my seat hearing stories & techniques from these accomplished artists.As an ardent fan of movies & makeup FX since childhood, it was amazing for me to learn from artists who’ve built entire careers working on movie sets & in FX labs. As a child I would watch movie makeup VHS & DVD making-of featurettes over & over - so to be able to study under these kinds of creators in person was just so cool.I also felt the school environment was enhanced by the makeup program managers as well as the the career team. Both of these departments were always so encouraging, supportive, & available to discuss next steps & career strategies.This experience has put me on the path to being able to focus on doing what I love. Thanks so much to these incredible instructors, managers & to Blanche Macdonald!
Monica Randhawa: This school is great for everything except nails. Myself and my class all left the school feeling confused frustrated and incompetent with our skills. The products that were given to us to use were hard to work with and many people ended up in tears from frustration. My brushes from the kit were poor quality and most of them can be found at the dollar store. When asking for help we were not taught but just shown how to do it. Staff was friendly to our faces but there was gossiping going on about students. I highly do NOT recommend this school for nails save your money and time.
Kerry Maguire: I'm 1 month away from finishing the Freelance Makeup Artistry Program, and I've already made the jump from my day job to working full time in the industry. With the help of the instructors and the school staff, I've been given the tools to become a freelancer with multiple makeup brands and I freelance in almost every facet of the industry right now (fashion, bridal, film... I do it all!) Thank you so much Blanche for jumpstarting my career
Nemo Hu: with a Global Esthetics diploma. It’s amazing place to learn professional knowledge and skills as well as valuable industry experiences from my great instructors (i.e. Behnaz, Carrie, Jamie, Lesley, Natalia, and Tasneem
JIENE ZHANG: My wife was a student there recently and she said this school is awesome!
Sun**: I came to have a haircut in downtown campus last week. I have received one of the best treatments in the cut. Although the student, Kylar, was very new and very slow in the cut, he was very careful. The thing that I like him the most was his gentle and friendly attitude toward clients. I think that this is a very important quality when a barber performs on a personal service. I was willing and patience to give him all the time that I have that afternoon. When my time run out, he has to pass the cut to the instructor, Jenny, to complete the work. She was one of the very friendly teachers at Blanche MacDonald. Needless to say, that she did a beautiful cut while she showed the work to the student. I always confidence to the teachers and to most of the students at this school. I know the teachers will back up the cut before the students make irreversible mistakes. I don’t make a big deal of it if it turns out not to my satisfaction because I just wear a baseball cap for a week or so. I have never needed to. Hair will grow back. Thank you, Jenny and Kylar.
bela narang: It is a wonderful place to learn and grow! Practice is the key to perfection! Having said that , the instructors are marvellous !! With them sharing knowledge with years of experience in the industry while teaching is an icing on the cake! well planned our curriculum and class room experience was just outstanding!
Ashleigh Stewart: I attended the freelance makeup program and haven't regretted it. Since graduation I have had a very successful and thriving career with plenty of respect, support, guidance and mentorship from both my teachers and the career department. What made me choose Blanche over other schools, aside from its reputation, was the fact that the career department is dedicated to supporting graduates even after they finish school and they have truly stood up to that. I left my career in finance to become a HMUA and have had support with weddings, working with photographers, getting students to assist me in a team when I was key for a prestigious fashion gala, and ongoing mentorship in other ways too when I have questions or need some guidance. Jordy, Sussanne and Leah have really helped me too, they help me out when I have questions about jobs or projects and answer me the same day and have never made me feel like I am bothersome to them. The learning has continued even after graduation! I truly appreciate it. While I was at school, I really enjoyed it. The classes were fun and excellent, with top notch curriculum and standards from technical makeup and hair styling to hygiene and safety standards. I follow and implement everything I was taught there and have been really successful so far. The kit we received was comprehensive and all round great, we really do receive all we need to get straight to work in the industry. The community at the school is respectful, inviting, warm, friendly, encouraging, supportive and a lot of fun! I loved it there and miss being at school. If you are wanting to go to study makeup, hair, beauty then I highly recommend Blanche MacDonald.
Christina Jana Siratranont: My experience with Blanche Macdonald is truly a great one so far and I'm not even halfway through the program. I recently moved to Canada not knowing where my career was going to, and figured maybe I should try to build a career in the make-up industry. I didn't even know about Blanche Macdonald until I googled it and it was the first thing that appeared in the search results. Not knowing that it was actually the best makeup school in Canada, I enrolled myself in and I must say it's really transforming. I was just really planning to enhance my skills for Bridal Makeup and I was so glad that I enrolled in the Global Makeup Diploma program, they cover everything from basic makeup fundamentals to the most advanced modules for TV and Film, prosthetics and special effects and many more from creating résumés to building your own portfolio! I am so excited for what the future holds for all of us students. The instructors are very hands on, they really push you to bring out your best. The school also helps us find jobs and employment opportunities because they never stop providing us opportunities to volunteer and be exposed, which eventually opens up a network of opportunities. I have never been more confident with my makeup skills until after enrolling! I must say, Blanche Macdonald really prepares you for your make-up career, they don't only teach you make-up skills but also prepare you for your professional career. I am so proud to be a BMC Student.
Angela Nguyen: Unforgettable experience at Blanche Macdonald Centre where everyone is welcome and included. Staff and teachers know you by name in a warm supportive environment. High standard quality in teaching and learning experience. I’m proud to be grad of BMC, top beauty school in Canada.
Harpriya: Being a part of the freelance makeup program at BMC is one of the best opportunities that I have ever got. The level of skills growth I got to experience in all these months is tremendous. There have been number of opportunities to volunteer with some renowned organizations along with well known professionals. At BMC i am not only learning skills but also getting every possible opportunity to put that into action and getting better at being the best. I also really want to thank the career department team.THANK YOU BLANCHE MacDonald!!!!
Carly Kennedy: I loved attending Blanche Macdonald Centre! The teachers and staff were always so understanding and friendly. On my days off I would look forward to going back to school. The Global Program helped me understand where I wanted to further my career in makeup and introduced me to other areas of the feild in the makeup industry. I would definitely recommend Blanche Macdonald to anyone who wants a career in makeup! Glad I studied there :)Thank you Blanche Macdonald 3
Lulu Marieth K: I am truly blessed and grateful to have been selected as a recipient of the Blanche Macdonald Black Canadian Scholarship. I attended the Global Esthetics Program from September 2021 to September 2022 at the City Square campus. The hands-on training, theoretical knowledge as well as genuine kindness I received from my instructors was exceptional! As someone who values the holistic approach to healing the body, I particularly enjoyed learning Ayurvedic and Hot Stone massage methods, grounding techniques before starting a facial and learning more about holistic beauty products through the Cosmetic Kitchen Project. I will definitely incorporate them into treatments I offer clients. This program taught me to view the beauty and wellness industry from the lens of a service provider and that has made a major difference. I feel equipped and confident to launch my holistic esthetics business and bring my education plus experience to not only Canada but also my home country of Tanzania. Thank you Blanche Macdonald for awakening my dream of being an esthetician through skills, knowledge and a compassionate learning environment.
Atika Shahid: I am the present student of esthetic program. One of the best schools I have ever attached. Some of my favourite great teachers are carri, perri, Angie and simona. Still in school but already got a job in the industry with the help of school . Pretty much you get helped at each step.Super friendly environment great teachers and great staffOne of the best place to start your dream journey
Dawn Bourque: I recently graduated from the Freelance Makeup Artistry program at Blanche in August 2022! I had always received good feedback and reviews which prompted me to enroll there. After having completed the program I can honestly say it is a wonderful environment for learning and honing your craft. Whether you have no clue about makeup or you have a natural talent and want to up your skills, the school will support you. The instructors are passionate and work in the industry—none of that “those who can’t do, teach”. So you get up-to-date knowledge about the industry as it currently is. Each instructor brings a different flavour to their module so I find it helpful to get exposed to different ways of doing things. The Directors always have an open door (or inbox) policy—to show off your work or ask questions or get feedback or provide feedback. The careers department is determined that every graduate should find work in the industry and are around and available constantly to assist. The schools Facebook pages assist grads with job and volunteer opportunities. I would say it’s nearly impossible to fail here and if you do it’s your own doing really. Highly recommend this school to anyone who wants to enter the industry full time or part time. It’s a good jumping off point but of course success only comes to those who put in the work!

Tina Minhas: 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 !!
Sarb B: 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.Services:Permanent lip makeup,Hairstyling
Wendy Chan: 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!
Gillian McCormick: I’ve been a quiet make up lover for a long time but had not updated my techniques. Then, I became a BeautyCounter Consultant, and women were asking me how to solve their skin care and make up problems. I felt shy, but asked Kim for help.Right away she was positive, professional and willing to work with BeautyCounter products to teach me how to apply the make up to myself (Caucasian) and to her (gorgeous East Indian)! Her studio was lovely, I felt relaxed and at home. I learned so much!Kim is a patient, encouraging and efficient teacher. She knows what’s hot and fresh or glam, and can easily read a clients comfort and knowledge level. She gave me manageable homework, was accessible for questions, and has followed up to see how I’m doing. I feel comfortable answering my clients questions about how to apply their make up, whatever their age, skin type or skin color. If you need to up your make up game, Kim is a totally worthwhile investment.
Pinder Rai: Thank You Kim for such a Magnificent experience, I received many High Praises at my Engagement and your work was Truly Highlighted at my Photoshoot. From the moment we met I felt very comfortable and was really impressed on how well you were able to gauge the complexion of my skin from just looking at me. You are an Amazing Artist!I highly recommend Kim Basran to anyone in need of Hair & Make Up and look forward to having her do me up for my wedding in 2020...x
R C: 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.
Wendy Bach: I needed to get a professional photo done for my business cards, so decided that it would be a good idea to get my makeup and hair done by a professional so the photos would come out as good as possible. I found Kim when I googled make up professional in Surrey. So glad I found her! She listened to my concerns and worked with me to get a professional and polished look. She is amazing and I will recommend her services to all my friends looking to have their makeup and hair done for any special occasion. Thanks so much Kim. Outstanding job and I'm in love with my new "look"!!!
Shaheen Babul: The most stressful aspect of planning my wedding was trying to figure out what I was going to do for my hair and makeup. I am one of those individuals who showers, let's my hair air dry, simply wears sunscreen and I am out the door. However, upon meeting with Kim Basran I quickly realized that she would be able to give me the look that I had envisioned for myself as a bride. She has this incredible ability to accentuate one's natural beauty without making one look artificial. My husband was very adamant about me not looking fake and when I arrived at my ceremony I received the same look from him as I had on our first date and that is when I knew that Kim Basran is no ordinary makeup artist. She is one that belongs in the film industry with her talent, not to mention, her infectious personality that had my bridesmaids wanting her to work her magic on them! Thank you Kim for making me look incredible on my very special day!
Kiranjot Nahal: 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 :)
Kim Gill: Having extremely reactive skin, Kim was an absolute professional and took serious concern with my inability to wear mainstream makeup products. Not only did she apply my makeup beautifully, but my skin did not react at all. She used suitable products based on my skin type and made me feel so comfortable. My previous experiences with most makeup artists left me feeling as though I could not be helped or silly for even seeking services because of my skin. Kim is experienced, knowledgeable, caring, and passionate about what she does.
Sharnjit Sharon Lalli: Kim is an amazingly talented makeup and hair artist she did a gorgeous job on my hair and makeup for my sister’s takha ceremony I received so many thankful compliments thanks to you Kim!! Keep up the great work I look forward to many more sessions with you for my sisters engagement and wedding ceremonies next year and also in 2019! Love you!!👍🙏💗💗💗💗
Alex M: Wonderful experience! I had a great time and was incredibly happy with the results. I will certainly be going back!!
Sandy Bee: Kim is a passionate and experienced professional artist. As her client, I felt like she was sociable, flexible and worked hard to provide the classic style I wanted. Over the years, I have followed and seen her work evolve. I’m so exciting to hear that Kim is now teaching classes to share her expertise!
Ruby N: Kim Basra is an amazing makeup artist. She makes you feel comfortable almost like an at home feel, thoroughly listens to you for the vision you want and creates it. I have had many makeup services from Kim over the years, her experience and artistry shines through every time. Kim thank you for dolling me up!
Farisha Nava: Kim is amazing! Her work is extremely professional and she gives you the exact look you want. My makeup and hair lasted the entire day. As well as doing a great job, Kim makes your time at her studio very enjoyable!
Deepa Bhangu: Love Kim's style of teaching and applying make up❤️I recommend anyone that wants to learn and feel comfortable applying your own make up, to learn from Kim. She's the must in the industry! I'm someone that does not wear make up all the time but I now know how to create a formal and casual look for myself. With her help I have a great product line of brushes and make up. Thank you for great experience ❤️
Ginni Kaur: I am taking one on one classes with kim.. She is the best make up artist...and a best teacher as well... I like the way she teaches the makeup applicationThanks
Randy Amita: Kim knew just the person to help me 'get ready' for my son's wedding. Her team member, Kay arrived on time and with focus. It was important to me to keep a natural look and keep it classy. Kay was the perfect fit for me.Thank Kim you knew exactly what I needed as I am not a daily makeup wearer.
Shera Haji: I was looking for a makeup professional who would teach me what I wanted to learn and found Kim Basran (after spending hundreds of dollars). I wanted to learn how to apply makeup for myself only: by using the right products, correct technique, and proper brushes. My makeup classes were personally geared for me and Kim taught me exactly what I wanted to learn.Before I started my classes, I received a complimentary makeover.After my first class, my homework was to practice at home and send pictures to Kim so that she would see how I was progressing and applying my makeup correctly. If I needed help or had questions between classes, Kim was always available by telephone or Facetime.Having learnt to do my makeup properly and correctly, I personally thought I looked great, and had a difficult time getting out without applying makeup. The negative thing about having to do your makeup correctly takes time, so I had to wakeup 30 minutes early every morning. When I went out in the evenings, I didn’t want to wash my makeup off because it looked so good in the hopes that it would stay like that in the morning so I wouldn’t have to start all over again.By taking these personalized makeup classes, not have I gained knowledge and skills to apply makeup correctly, but I have gained a friend. On my last day, Kim took me shopping for the few makeup items and brushes that I wanted to add to my collection.I would highly recommend Kim Basran for any makeup related services: personal makeup classes, bridal, or just going out for a special occasion.
Rokzanna Basi: Amazing artist! She'll make you look the best you've ever looked and make you feel like a star throughout the entire process. Highly recommended.

M: Its been two years ago I had this bad experience.. not today...I am just sharing again and I was shared at that time also ..Very bad experience of today..I don't suggest to someone for this place sorry..and they don't know even how to cut nails shorter..my toe was bleeding...terrible place 😒
Claire S: Been getting my facial here for a year now and my skin has improved immensely! Definitely recommend!
Judy Yen: I felt very comfortable after every treatment since I have received their service.
Barbie Jawanda: First of all the staff is absolutely great, from the lady that sits out front when you enter and also the Instructor they make you feel very welcome. The trainees do a wonderful job on the facials as that is the service I have gone back for several times. I bought this hydrating oil from them which has been doing a super duper great job on my skin nothing has worked better for me in the past, I really recommend this place as you will not be disappointed but walk out with a smile!!
Joan Page: Always a great experience with attentive, pleasant and professional staff and students. They are my go to place in Richmond for affordable and good quality services.
Alana Kirkland: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueI really enjoyed the instructor's, extremely knowledgeable and very detailed oriented. It felt like they were truly invested in having you understand the curriculum fully. They were very accommodating, and it was affordable compared to the larger school's, but with the same quality of learning.
Sara Chin: At this school, I aspired to be an aesthetician and aromatherapist. This school helped me to accomplish that. I really liked how supportive the teachers were. They saw you as a complete person, not just a student. And they were very patient in teaching the materials.
