I needed makeup done for my family holiday photoshoot. Booked online with Liz. The Sparkle Bar is a great vibe -- decor, music, etc. I love that the receptionist asked me to wash my hands before my service. Appreciate trying to keep people healthy during cold/flu season. As someone with a husband who is high risk for COVID (and the fact that makeup artists need to get SO close to you face to do their job) I was grateful that in 2024 both makeup artists were masked. They truly care about health of clients. Liz listened to what I was trying to achieve and then worked her magic in just 45 mins. She was a pleasure to chat with and at the end handed me a mirror and offered to add or change anything. Excellent communication. Overall wonderful experience. I'll certainly book next time I need my makeup done! read more

So professional and engaging. Jaclyn heard my needs and the parameters of the event I was attending. This was a very positive experience. The studio is so clean and they pay attention to hygiene. I felt polished & ready for my event upon departure. I will return for Jaclyn's expertise service. She is a gem! She seemed aware of the current trends and gave such sound advice in maintaining "my look" until my event started later that afternoon. Scheduling with Alex was easy & effective! Sparkle Bar has been my "go to" for a few years now. read more

I'm going to start off by admitting I have no idea how to do my make up. I own mascara and and eyeliner and that's it. When I know I need to go to an event and be dressed up, I'm immediately filled with a sense of impending doom because I need to wear make up that I'm so incapable of putting on. Sparkle bar was close by and had stellar reviews so with high hopes, I stopped by. After looking through reviews, I saw a MUA that kept coming up, Charlee. I cannot even begin to describe how incredibly gifted and talented she is. Just when I thought the make up couldn't get any more beautiful, it did! I got so many compliments on my make up and I've been back a few times. If you have an event you need to get camera ready for, Charlee will make you look and feel like an absolute goddess. Another huge plus is she's punctual, professional, and overall just really enjoyable to get your make up done by. read more

I had a photoshoot for LinkedIn headshots and heading out for the night afterwards. My usual makeup artist was booked so I decided to checkout The Sparkle Bar. I'm super picky with makeup as a Black woman not everyone can do our makeup. The Sparkle Bar did the damn thing. The environment is super cute and clean. Everyone was welcoming and truly appreciated their attention to hygiene and cleanliness. I got the opportunity to work with Charlee and to say she is talented isn't enough. The makeup fitted my style. A little flair and easily transition from day to night. This was self care as the environment really provides you a place to enjoy being pampered. I highly recommend this place. read more

Nothing less than spectacular is the service and the way I feel when I leave The Sparkle Bar! This has become so much more than a 'service' to me; It's become a place where I feel I am coming to hang with my friends while they do my face and we chat! LITERALLY I have that much fun! This is the season of glitz and glam and this year I made my booking a little more on the ready than last time I needed help with my aging plain girl face. I do not love trying to hide the flaws and getting ready for parties the way I used to when I was a bunch of years younger for one, I just don't know how and for TWO I just can't do it as well as the Sparkle team can! PLUS, I have so much fun now coming in and chatting with Alex and Charlee and Eli and seeing the team of boss babes and how they have grown so much in the past years ! This studio has gone from being amazing to even more awesome! I love it so much and I love how I feel each time I come in and when I leave here. I usually always get the , "Camera Ready" service and add lashes for $20 , ( and yes, to the one star review that said she didn't see that as noted.. IT does state that in the appointment when you book it or if you add it when getting your face done, it is said to you.. please be responsible when buying for the love of all glitz and glam!) Today, I asked Charlee if I could just do more neutral tones and be a little more understated on my face than in the past.. That was a suggestion of , "how about the "Fresh Face". I had come in this time with a literal bare face, because I usually just do that when at home anyway or fresh from the gym unless I am traveling for work and as I said, I don't enjoy a ton of makeup on my face anymore! I have taken a great deal of care in my skin over the past two years , again due to aging, and thankfully I believe it's paid off, because I was able to get away with a minimal 'fresh face' look and with the lashes Charlee did, I felt the look just 'popped'! I went home; popped on my outfit ; flat ironed my hair and was at our party with in 90 minutes of leaving and this look lasted through out the event and into the wee hours of the am aka the 'after party' where some of my co-workers met with my husband's and well, that is just another story! The makeup lasted. My feet in red bottoms-- well, my Sparkle Bar babes can not solve all the miracles of the holiday season! I do love the new studio. This team is always so fun! They listen to what you want on your face! You are always met with the request of pressed juice; bottled water; tea. Everyone here is safe and sanitary. We have not been out of the pandemic that long.. although most of the world seems to have forgotten that, it is very safe here and the team here still takes it seriously for those of us that have not forgotten it! They want you safe and they want to stay safe too-- wash those hands when you enter. The products they use are always the best: YSL; Dior; Chanel; MAC etc. the parking in the back was super easy too this time. Alex and I spoke about this before as I truly have stressed about the parking situation on the weekends in Old Town! IYKYK! The Sparkle Bar does headshots now and since I loathe my new one that my company just did at a recent conference, that will my next visit to what I deem 'my glam squad' ! Trust me .. this is the place for what you need if you are like me and just feel that make up and getting glam is a bit of a chore and a bit more energy than one needs to be pretty .. So here is a million and five kisses to Alex ; Charlee; Eli and her team of absolute fabulous babes for making me , ( and sometimes my girls!) feel so amazing! xoxo read more

My family and I were visiting it for a week and I really wanted to do a last minute branding and family photo shoot and go for a professional look but I struggled to find a makeup artist. Eli to the rescue y'all! He got me in last minute and came in early for me. Him and his southern charm took care of my face all over the place. I really loved working with him. He was so sweet, funny and supportive, walking me through with my silly inexperience. Love him. Love the Sparkle Bar!!

Have a special event or just want to doll up for a fun night out and want to look super special hit up The Sparkle Bar. I have been twice to The Sparkle Bar for make up for 2 separate weddings. Most recently I was officiating a wedding. I am not that good with make up aka I don't wear much and definitely I don't know how to apply it correctly. Made an appointment and that was easy they helped me map out my time with my hair and then make up(thank you) Upon arriving for my appointment my makeup artist(Charlie) greeted me and asked me several key questions. What are wearing, what color etc she immediately went to work and I loved how she explained each step and would ask if I liked it. In the end she was friendly, professional and I loved it!

Love the aesthetic and overall bright and open vibe. Eli was my artist and new go to for any and all makeup! I am usually a CC Cream and Mascara gal so he made sure to keep it simple yet so GLAM! I felt all my pre-photo shoot nerves melt away. Honestly don't pamper myself often, but this was such a wonderful experience I will for sure be doing this more often!

I will keep this review short and sweet! The sparkle bar will do just that, make you sparkle! I came here prior to an event and I cannot get over how amazing and beautiful they made me feel inside and out. I had been in a bit of a beauty rut and I needed something to get me out of it and sparkle bar did just that! Only a few criticisms and suggestions, carry a higher and more extensive variety of cosmetics and brands... I was surprised at how low end a few of the products were that were used and offered there. Also, I wish they sold some of the products they used mostly lipgloss and lipstick! But that's just honestly nitpicking! So glad that a place like the sparkle bar is in Phoenix, it is a much needed service. Overall it was a truly positive experience and I will be back! read more

Neither my planner or I were informed of this, or were re-booked a trial with a new artist, which I found completely unacceptable. After calling this out, Makiaj booked me a re-trial on the Thursday before my wedding. This caused me a TON of stress on my wedding week, which could have been easily avoided. Trials are meant to be used to make changes, which if this was done on my wedding day, would have caused delays in the wedding day schedule. My new artist said she had my on her schedule mid-February, but Makiaj just didn't schedule a re-trial for me. I am still giving Makiaj 2 stars because their master artists (the artists for the brides) are extremely talented. Shout out to Jada, who's foundation and skin work is AMAZING!

Love this Salon in Scottsdale!…read more First of all, this place is so cute and in old town Scottsdale, so good location. Clean and cozy interior. My hairdresser Chloe is AMAZING! I'm not a reviewing hair salon person, but I had to this time. She walked me through what she's going to do, asked me questions about what hairstyle/color I'd like and also pricing, which was straightforward and clear! I've always wanted to go cool medium light blonde with light blonde parts, other hairdressers made me go back 2-3 times and still didn't or couldn't get me the color I wanted, but Chloe did it on my first visit. She told me it might not as bright as I wanted, but she did it and still took care of my hairs. I'll definitely come back and I'm confident Chloe's gonna make my hairstyle/color look amazing!

I've been on the hunt for a new salon for quite a while & thankfully my hunting has finally come to…read morean end... thanks to both Ohana Salon & Kiara my new Stylist!! Upon entering the salon the receptionist offered me a complimentary beverage as I waited for Kiara... I declined as I just had some coffee before arriving! The salon had just a few clients because Sunday is the quietest day of the week... nice to know as I needed a salon that's open on Sundays! Once I sat down appeared lovely Kiara, she brought me to her station.. started the consultation, had me pick a Chakra card to relax me & gave me a deep neck massage before even walking me over to wash my hair! Yes, she had me sold I'm loving it... she's either gotta mess my extremely long hair up or she just made herself a regular client... lol!! Okay now I'm anticipating the shampoo & conditioning.... You're correct no complaints there either, plus because my hair is so long I got to sit in that chair a little longer, lol!! Kiara walked me over & got to work, I was wanting some long curtain bangs with layers throughout to add fullness... she did exactly as I requested & began styling with the dryer! Once Kiara was done I told her I loved it, she did everything I wanted... she then even offered to using the curling iron to show me the difference in the style but I told her there's no need to... I'm loving it!! I was so happy to finally have a stylist that did what I was envisioning & not try to talk me into something that I wasn't wanting! Also...FYI, for all you future clients that had stylists destroy your hair because they're inexperienced... look no further, this salon holds their stylists accountable & you as a client sign paperwork prior to your appointment in agreement that if you're not satisfied with your final result the salon will take care of you within the time frame window in the contract! Love it & I can't wait until my next appointment , I'm so looking forward to it!!

She was very considerate of the look I was going for and I was completely happy with the way it turned out. I didn't give her many instructions and that's the best thing cuz she knew exactly what would look good on me.

I would recommend her to all of the brides to be as she is very accommodating to your schedule and trusted professional.

I was so excited to book this appointment but now I cannot adequately express how disappointed and…read moredisrespected I feel. I scheduled a hair and makeup appointment more than a month in advance for my nursing school graduation--an incredibly important milestone for me. I planned my entire day carefully and precisely to ensure everything ran smoothly and on time. While on my way to the appointment, I called to confirm, wanting to make sure everything was set for such a meaningful day. After multiple calls with no answer, I received a text just 30 minutes before my appointment. The message was addressed to the wrong person and stated that my appointment had been canceled. At first, I genuinely thought it was a scam. Unfortunately, it wasn't. Because of the extremely short notice and lack of communication, I was forced to scramble at the last minute. Despite planning meticulously, I arrived late to my graduation and nearly missed the opportunity to walk across the stage. I was only notified of the cancellation because I called to confirm; there was no proactive outreach from the company. Very little professionalism, accountability, or genuine remorse was shown. The stress and disappointment caused on such an important day were completely avoidable. I can only imagine how devastating this would be if it were for an event such as a wedding. Based on my experience, I strongly advise against booking with this company.

From the second I walked into their studio for my hair and makeup trial, they made me feel at ease. I'm not overly amazing at makeup and knowing what I want, so I just showed them some ideas I had pinned from Pinterest and they did the rest. They both did an exceptional job. Up until the wedding weekend, Bryanna responded to all of my emails/texts in mere hours, she was consultative and overall very professional. On the day of the wedding, they did hair and makeup for our flower girl, my sister, sister-in-law, as well as my mother and my now mother-in-law and everyone absolutely loved it. They worked quickly while closely listening to what everyone wanted and then took everyone's vision up a notch to create a perfectly customized look. Everyone's hair and makeup lasted all day/night and we could not be happier with the final product. I have already recommended Makeup Collective to our friends and family with upcoming weddings/events and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone without hesitation.

Awesome because a couple things got away from me but she kept us on track! We met up at the hotel and she pretty much got started right away. I had 3 bridesmaids, 2 of them had really fine and short hair, and one had long hair and straight. I have very thick wavy hair. For the two girls with short hair, Jenna gave them a ton of volume and waves--which looked incredible on them. The other girl got this gorgeous pull through braid from Jenna. It was beautiful! Everyone hair looked amazing! I had wanted a crown braid but wanted it too be a little whimsical--Not perfectly in place. She did exactly that, it was a beautiful, full crown around the world braid, and it didn't even take that long! She then did our makeup, which wasn't super caked on, it was the perfect amount, and the colors went perfect with our dresses. I was so happy with it--I couldn't ever imagine it would all look as good as it did! Not only that, but it all lasted all night! I had never worn lashes before either but they stayed on all night with no issues. It couldn't have been more perfect. So happy to have worked with Jenna, I highly recommend her and the Phoenix Makeup Collective!!

I have very fine hair, which can be tricky to style, but she somehow made it look so full, soft, and beautiful. I especially appreciated that she never pressured me into using extensions; she worked with my natural hair and still created such an amazing result. On the wedding day, she also had such a calm and reassuring presence. I was definitely feeling a little stressed at times, but Monica immediately put me at ease and made the whole getting-ready experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. She also did hair for some of my bridesmaids and my mom, and everyone looked absolutely stunning. It was so fun seeing each person's style come together, and she did such a beautiful job on all of us. I'm so grateful I chose Monica for my wedding day and would highly recommend her to anyone.

Monica's Instagram account had a lot of inspiration to pull from. She gave me exactly what I asked for on the first try. Monica was super nice and calming when I was getting pre-wedding jitters. She brought two additional artists with her, one for hair and one for makeup, because we had a big group of girls. She made sure everyone got a touch up and was happy before heading out. I felt so beautiful. My bridesmaids said I looked like a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader, which as a Texan, I love. My hair and makeup were perfect all day. It stayed looking great, through the happy tears and the late night dancing, until I was able to take a proper shower 48 hours later. Highly recommend!
