Client Reviews

​

Noelle Giroux ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"From the moment I stepped into SHARA Makeup Studio, I was welcomed with warmth, kindness, and genuine care. Shara herself is not only incredibly talented but also one of the most thoughtful and attentive professionals I've encountered. She takes the time to explain which products are best suited for your skin, which colors enhance your natural features, and—most importantly—she empowers you with the knowledge and confidence to recreate the look at home. Watching Shara work is like watching a true artist at her craft. She intuitively knows when to add just a subtle pop of color or a final touch of light that transforms the entire look. She doesn't change you—she elevates you. You still look like yourself, only more luminous, more rested, more you. Think: eight hours of sleep, bottled. She is, without question, the Leonardo da Vinci of makeup."

"Shara Makeup Studio provides an unparalleled beauty experience—truly one of the finest I have ever encountered. I entrusted Shara with complete discretion to select products tailored specifically to my skin and style, and she exceeded every expectation. Her expertise and intuitive understanding of what suits each individual are nothing short of extraordinary. I was on a tight timeline and needed going out makeup for an important event. Despite this, the level of service was exemplary. The products arrived within hours via courier directly to my doorstep, making the entire experience seamless, efficient, and completely stress-free. This level of professionalism elevated the entire process to something truly next-level. Every product Shara curated felt luxurious, effective, and perfectly suited for me. For anyone seeking a refined, personalized, and flawless makeup experience, Shara Makeup Studio is simply unmatched."

Sarah Levy ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I booked a makeup lesson with Shara. She was so professional, kind, compassionate about what she does, and so knowledgeable. I loved everything about my experience. She showed me how to apply makeup and skincare step-by-step. She answered all of my questions. And her personal line of skin care and make up is just fabulous. I did not feel pushed at all to make any purchases, I genuinely wanted to because of how wonderful I felt and looked. Thank you Shara for such a welcoming and special experience! The best gift to gift yourself or another woman in your life who loves to pamper herself."
 

Andrea Kirsner ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Shara is an amazing makeup artist! She is incredibly creative, caring, and professional. Shara came onsite for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah. She took the time to review our dresses, our preferences, and consulted us every step of the way. Shara took our look to the next level and made us feel special during the entire process. Our makeup looked flawless and was perfect for our big day and we couldn't be happier! This is the third time that I have worked with Shara and her team. I have been very pleased with her makeup lessons, onsite makeup application, and overall customer service. If you need to look your best, Shara Makeup Studio is the best decision you can make! I wish I could post 6 stars..."

Cha Tekeli ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I went to Shara for the first time, to do my makeup for a black tie wedding. She couldn't have been more welcoming and open-minded. She's attentive, curious and was able to discern my personal style, vibe, and energy. That really made a difference in my opinion because she was able to create 'a face' for me that I never would have imagined. She has a light touch and an artist's vision. She used an airbrush technique, which I'd never heard of, but which made my makeup last the entire evening. She genuinely created a most glamorous face for me that complimented my outfit in the most perfect way. Besides being talented, Shara is a true delight: easy to work with and someone I would want to give my business to again. Her studio is lovely, comfortable and makes you feel at ease immediately. I can't recommend her enough!"

Justine Young ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I highly recommend booking a makeup lesson with Shara. As part of my self-care journey to explore beauty and wellness, this experience was incredibly empowering. Shara took the time to teach me how to apply makeup in a way that suits my features and preferences. I gravitate toward a soft glam look, and she helped me build both an everyday routine and a more elevated look for going out. The products from her own line are lightweight, high-quality, and feel great on my skin. I left feeling confident and inspired, and I'm genuinely excited to practice everything I've learned. I will definitely be back!"

Melissa Pezza ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I trust Shara Strand and only Shara Strand to make me look fabulous. Her makeup applications and brow shapings are A+. I am so thrilled to get an appointment as I know she is always working with celebrities and politicians. Her makeup and skin care line are absolutely incredible—my skin has never looked better and I'm in my mid 40s. I see Shara once every 3-4 months to discuss my makeup routine. She always has the best tips and tricks that get me so many compliments. Her staff is also very talented and when I don't get to work with Shara, I know I'm in good hands. I wish I could give 100 stars."

Allie Calabrese ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"My sister and I did a makeup class with Alex and she was absolutely amazing! Such a special human! She was so patient and thorough and I learned so much. I really came away knowing how to do my makeup with special tips and tricks I never would have known without her expert guidance. They don't try to sell you on anything (although we did end up purchasing quite a few of their beautiful products and brushes because they looked so good!) and try to use the makeup you already own as much as possible. I did my makeup this morning and it looked just as good as when I did it in the studio. I can't recommend this class enough!"
