Luxury makeup & hair services in Durham Region

Four ways to book Glam By Urusa — bridal, bridal party, special event and non-bridal. Every booking includes both makeup and hair, and every booking can happen either at the private home studio in Durham Region or on location anywhere across the Greater Toronto Area.

Bridal makeup & hair

The full wedding-day look, built to last all day and night and still photograph beautifully.

Bridal is the heart of what Urusa does. The booking is unhurried by design: skin prep first, colour matched to your undertone in person, then a look built with you in the mirror rather than presented to you at the end. Products are chosen for longevity and for how they behave under camera flash — no white cast in the photographs, and a finish that still looks fresh late into the evening.

She works across the full range of bridal traditions, from soft, natural Western bridal through to full South Asian bridal glam with heavy lashes and a look that holds its own against a lehenga and gold jewellery.

  • Optional bridal trial, usually 4–8 weeks before the day
  • Optional on-location service at your home, hotel suite or venue
  • Long-wear, flash-friendly products and professional lashes

Bridal party makeup & hair

Makeup and hair for everyone standing beside the bride — booked alongside her, or on its own.

Bridesmaids, sisters, the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom, and the friends who are in every photograph. Everyone is scheduled into the same morning and worked backwards from the time the photographer arrives, so nobody is still getting ready when the cars are waiting.

Tell Urusa how many people there are and what time everyone needs to be ready, and she will confirm the timings with your quote. The party can come to the home studio in Durham Region, or she can travel to your home, hotel suite or venue with the full kit.

  • Bridesmaids, sisters, mothers of the bride and groom, and guests
  • Booked with the bride, or on its own
  • Scheduled backwards from your photography timeline
  • Makeup and hair for each person, or makeup only if that suits the group

Special event makeup & hair

For the pre-wedding events — everything in the wedding season that is not the wedding day itself.

A South Asian wedding is rarely one day. Special event covers the pre-wedding events: the engagement, the nikkah, the mehndi and the sangeet. Looks that are unmistakably done, but a step softer than the bridal day so nothing competes with it.

It suits the bride at her own pre-wedding events as much as the people celebrating with her. Each event is built around its own outfit, its own lighting and how long the day runs, rather than the same face repeated across a week of celebrations.

  • Pre-wedding events: engagement, nikkah, mehndi and sangeet
  • A step softer than the wedding-day bridal look, by design

Non-bridal makeup & hair

Everything else worth getting ready for, from a soft daytime finish to full evening glam.

Birthdays, graduations, galas, proms, headshots, anniversaries and the nights out you would rather hand over to someone else. Tell Urusa the occasion, and she will build the look to match — natural and glowing for daylight and photographs, or a full smokey eye and a bold lip for the evening.

  • Soft glam, full glam, natural daytime and editorial looks
  • Birthdays, graduations, proms, galas and photoshoots

Questions

Frequently asked

Do you travel to me, or do I come to you?

Both. Glam By Urusa is a mobile makeup artist, so Urusa can travel to your home, hotel or venue anywhere in Durham Region and the Greater Toronto Area with a full professional kit. There is also a private home-based studio in Durham Region if you would rather come to her. Let her know which you prefer when you enquire.

Which areas do you serve?

The home studio is based in Durham Region. Mobile bookings travel across Durham Region — Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, Courtice, Bowmanville, Clarington, Brooklin, Uxbridge and Port Perry — to the GTA, including Toronto, Scarborough, North York, Markham, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Mississauga and Brampton, and further afield by arrangement.

Do you offer a bridal trial?

Yes. A bridal trial is strongly recommended and should be booked at least three to four weeks before the wedding. It is a relaxed session to test your look in daylight and in photographs, adjust the eye, skin finish and lip, and agree the hair before the day itself.

How far in advance should I book?

For weddings, as early as you can. Peak wedding season in Ontario runs from May to October and popular dates are often reserved six to twelve months ahead. For non-bridal bookings, two to four weeks is usually comfortable, though last-minute enquiries are always worth sending.

Do you do hair as well as makeup?

Yes. Glam By Urusa is a makeup and hair service, so both can be booked together in one booking. That includes curls and soft waves, sleek straight styling, and updos and half-updos for brides and the wedding party.

Do you offer hijab-friendly makeup?

Yes. Urusa works with hijab-wearing clients and is comfortable working around the hijab, keeping the setting and finish appropriate for a long event. Hijab styling and draping are not offered.

How much do your services cost?

Pricing depends on the service, the number of people, the date and the travel involved, so quotes are given per booking. Send an enquiry with your date, location and what you need and you will receive a full quote.

Do you offer makeup for the whole bridal party?

Yes. Bridesmaids, mothers of the bride and groom, sisters and guests can all be added to a bridal booking, or booked as a bridal party on their own. Include the number of people and the time everyone needs to be ready when you enquire so the morning can be scheduled properly.
