Bridal, beauty and tailoring for Vancouver

From Vancouver we're about 35 to 45 minutes by car, or about an hour by SkyTrain and bus. Vancouver clients mostly come for bridal work and tailoring that's easier when it's all in one place.

Glam & Seam Studio is a South Asian beauty and tailoring studio in Newton, Surrey, about 35 to 45 minutes' drive from Vancouver. Vancouver clients book bridal makeup, mehndi, saree draping, saree blouses, lehenga alterations and kurta pajamas. On-location travel is quoted. Book online or WhatsApp 778-240-6077.

  • Lehenga and sherwani alterations before a wedding
  • Family measurements for kurta pajamas and suits

Yes. We travel to Vancouver for bridal makeup and draping. Travel is quoted by location and time of day, and shown before you pay a deposit.

Why Vancouver clients come to Surrey

Vancouver has great salons and the long-standing Punjabi Market on Main Street, so you have options closer to home. Vancouver clients who make the trip to Newton usually want bridal makeup and outfit work in the same studio, or tailoring for a whole family in one booking. Others have family in Surrey and fit a visit in when they're already here.

  • Bridal HD makeup and hair from $450; airbrush from $550
  • Saree Ready bundle from $115: lined blouse, petticoat, fall and pico
  • Pre-stitched ready-to-wear saree from $65
  • Lehenga waist or length from $40; sherwani fitting or alteration from $45
  • Kurta pajama from $75; 10% off each for four or more

We speak English, Punjabi and Hindi. Before you travel, WhatsApp us photos of your outfit, fabric or a look you like, and we'll tell you what's possible and roughly what it costs, so your first visit is a productive one.

Getting ready for a Vancouver wedding

Many Vancouver families celebrate at gurdwaras and temples in South Vancouver and at banquet halls across the region. If your ceremony is in the city, on-location makeup saves the bride a long drive on the morning. Travel to Vancouver is quoted by location and time of day, and the travel line is shown on your quote before you pay a deposit.

If you'd rather come to us for your trial, try to book it on the same day as a lehenga or blouse fitting. That way you see the full look together and only make the trip once.

Bridal mehndi takes about four hours and starts at $250; guest mehndi at your event is $80 an hour, with travel quoted. Many families have the bride's mehndi done at home during the mehndi function, with guests done alongside.

Memberships and tailoring from Vancouver

A monthly membership is only worth it from Vancouver if you're in Surrey regularly. If you are, book visits ahead and pair them with your family trips. If not, pay per visit. We'll give you an honest comparison at a free 15-minute membership consultation.

For tailoring, book a free new-order visit for measurements. We keep them on file, write the price and ready date on your ticket, and send WhatsApp updates, so you don't cross the river until your fitting or pickup is ready. Blouses and suits take 7 to 10 days; sherwanis six to eight weeks for a new order.

Weekday afternoons are usually our quietest time, and the drive from Vancouver is often easier then than on a Saturday in wedding season.

Neighbourhoods we see most from here: Sunset & the Punjabi Market, South Vancouver, Victoria-Fraserview, Killarney, Marpole, Kensington-Cedar Cottage, Renfrew-Collingwood, Downtown.
