Montreal Makeover

By Hannah Murray and Jacob Sponga

As snow melts, temperatures rise, and McGill students across Montreal wake from the hazy slumber of winter semester hibernation, many of us are in desperate need of a makeover. The word ‘makeover’ often conjures up nostalgic memories of fashy montages from Y2K romcoms: think chunky statement belts, mini skirts, and glittery eyeshadow; however, as arts and culture editors, we dare to suggest that a makeover involves more than just changing your outward appearance (although, that certainly can be a fun part of it!). Makeovers can involve anything from treating yourself to a new cuisine; picking up some new books to read; and, of course, changing up your closet, hair, and makeup. And what better place to give yourself a makeover than Montreal? Home to some amazing hair salons, clothing stores, libraries, cafes, spas, restaurants and more, Montreal is a fantastic city to indulge in a makeover. YOLO, right? Dust off your sunglasses, switch out your snow boots for sneakers and be sure to check out these recommendations to spice up your look and treat yourself as we head into summer!
