Wednesday July 13, 2011 was the launch date and grand opening for Nadia Albano’s chic new digs on Granville Street at Robson. Tucked away downstairs in suite 100 of the heritage Medical Building at  825 Granville Nadia Albano Style Inc is a full service hair, make-up and personal shopping  studio.

When we arrived the place was rocking and looking most glam. Local designers par excellence Maurizio and David of Debut Event Design looked after the goodies and made sure all of the guests were well cared for so our ebullient hostess could enjoy her evening and mingle with the local A-list.

Although it was pretty warm down there with all those lovely bodies packed into the studio’s modest space and with all the makeup lights blazing a couple of heavy duty fans kept us sane and the Margarita mix martinis laced with tequila had us not caring how hot it got.

The goodies and treats were delicious – espresso macaroons were the hands down fav of most of the guests we polled.

It was a lively night of beauty, style, and mingling at Nadia’s new studio. Visit her on the web and when it comes time to do your “do” and make sure your makeup is picture perfect for your wedding day be sure to check her out!
