Amy Kernahan Makeup Studio

My whole life I had very light eyebrows, but was always afraid to get them micropigmented. Being very picky by nature, I was afraid it would look fake and god forbid the artist would mess up, it's my face after all. more

After Amy is done with my brows it looks as if I am 10 years younger. She is an artist and can arch my brown in a way that looks like I had an eye lift..AMAZING. more

What is there to say that everyone else hasn't! Amy truly is a gem! She is an artist! I am originally from NY and relocated to NC. When I lived in NY NO ONE could come close to the amazing job Amy did on my eyebrows. In NC I don't even dare to let anyone touch me. I travel back to NY just to have Amy work her magic! She not only is the best at what she does, she personally is a great person. She makes you feel comfortable and at ease. I can say confidently that no matter where Amy is she will always have a huge following. She is the perfect combination of professionalism, personalization and perfection! more

I did a lot of researches on permanent makeup and reading Amy Kernahan's profile i just knew she was the one i am willing to trust with doing the procedures.I was not disappointed,let me tell you Amy is one of the nicest person you could ever meet.I was so nervous but Amy made the procedures as painless as possible and she talk with you right throughout.It was the first session and i was so pleased.Everyone noticed a difference but no one knew what i had done,they just keep raving how beautiful i looked.Going back for the touch up,i felt so good that Amy remembered me.After the retouch i was so pleased,i look so different and i have so much self confident.Instead of looking at other women they were looking at me and paying compliments.I strongly recommend anyone who wants the perfect eyebrows and permanent eyeliners to run as fast as you can to Amy Kernahan make up studio in NYC.The staff is professional,the service is GREAT and you will be amazed at Amy's work.She also have some great products for your face and body.THANK you Amy for making me feel so good about myself,and i will travel from New Jersey anytime to see you. more

I've referred all of my pickiest clients to see Amy at her studio. One by one, I have watched her transform them into the best looking versions on THEMSELVES. Amy's meticulous hand details and accents every client's features to perfection. Permanent Makeup? I would usually tell people to run away...Now I tell them to run to Amy. Her work is flawless, all of my clients are borderline obsessed with her, and I'm always blown away by how great they look when they come in to see me at the salon for their hair. I can't say enough positive things about Amy and her work: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR PERFECTIONISTS!!! Pros: Amy is a Perfectionist...love her! Cons: NONE more

I am a perfectionist in many areas, which is why I was squeamish to go under the needle for micropigmentation with just anyone. I researched everyone in the NY Metro area and hand-picked Amy because she was able to show me how much care and attention she takes to detail- definitely the sign of a perfectionist. I left looking like a model with perfect eyebrows- perfect color, perfect shape. Run to see Amy! more

When it comes to beauty, I will admit I am a total snob. I search far and wide for whose best at what and make sure I do my homework on them before even considering calling their business. I found Amy Kernahan from the internet and quickly read great reviews and when I asked some people I know in the beauty industry they HIGHLY recommended her. I called her salon a bunch of times asking tons of questions before I finally decided to go in and consult with her. The second I saw her I knew I was in the right hands and decided to do the permanent makeup for my brows and upper and lower eyeliner. One look at her and you can just know from her confidence and energy she loves what she does and now I can agree with those who recommend her that she is THE BEST at what she does. I know so many people who have done permanent makeup elsewhere and they loved it and I hated it because it looked so harsh. Amy's approach is so natural makes you look effortless. Also, when you call the salon with a question, AMY herself calls you back! AMAZING customer service and just a pleasure dealing with Amy and her staff. I went with the natural look, but Amy can do whatever your preference is. Like i said at the start of my review I am a beauty snob, I have been to all the "best in NY" places and Amy's studio is truly a one of a kind business. more

Amy is AMAZING. For us girls who know the importance of perfect brows, you should look no further than Amy. She is sweet, kind, and very talented. She did my makeup for my wedding and it was fabulous. I can't say enough about how wonderful she is and how talented she is as a make-up artist and brow shaper. I get compliments all the time about my eye brows and its thanks to her Pros: Location of studio, professional Cons: NONE more

OMG! I have had the best experiences at Amy's studio...I am a man who normally does not enjoy the experience of walking in to get my eyebrows done. Most men have that uncomfortable feeling walking into the realm of traditional female environments. However, when I first spoke with Amy and her staff I was immediately made to feel comfortable. The studio is clean, inviting, and I felt like a VIP the first time and every time since. You cannot beat the ambiance and location. I had been hearing the ?UNI-BROW? comment for years and I now get compliments on, not only my brows, but also my "look" in general. I get asked often if I have done something different. Needless-to-say Amy has made me feel and look amazing! I highly recommend ANYONE to visit and experience this NYC gem for themselves! Pros: RESULT>SERVICE>LOCATION Cons: ZERO more

Nine years wasted on wavering where and if at all I should get permanent eyebrows. This indecision stemmed from anxiety until I saw Amy at a consultation this May. She was very receptive to my ?demands? and offered her professional insight on the best brow shape for my facial contour. Amy?s crafty efforts produced an end result that restored my confidence and permanently wiped out the dreadfully time consuming task of penciling. I am eternally obliged to Amy (AKA my newly found makeup artist) :) more

Found Amy after seeing her demonstrate a "10 Minute Face" to one of Matt Titus' clients on "Matched in Manhattan" ( a dating show on Lifetime TV.) She is fabulous at brow shaping too, and her studio is a bright, inviting place with a great staff. You will not be disappointed. Call! Go! Pros: ambience, staff, perfect eyebrows Cons: didn't notice any more

Upon visiting the studio I was treated with the upmost professionalism. It was my first time meeting with Amy....she was very descriptive when discussing the brow shape that would best compliment my face. I was very pleased with the results and thought it was definitely worth the money!!! I have already scheduled my next appointment knowing that she books up rather quickly! more

I went to the Amy Kernahan Studio for the first time last week to see Dani. Dani has been doing my brows for a few years now at John Barrett until she recently moved to Amy's location. I loved the location and the space is great....very zen-like. My brows, as always looked great. I definately recommend Dani to everyone! Pros: brows worth waiting for Cons: have to book appointments in advance more

I find these "reviews" extremely ODD. First of all, they are all these lengthy stories all saying what a good person Amy is, how many years they have known her etc... and the posts are so close together. 11/27/2007 was a VERY popular day to write I guess. They all seem to be fluff written by the same person. I don't think it's fair to mislead people...that's all. Pros: good scripts Cons: good scripts more

Amy is not only the absolute BEST at everything she does, she makes you feel COMPLETELY at ease and EXTREMELY comfortable making you trust her instantaneously! I am in beauty/fashion PR and Amy by far is the most talented professional out there. After contemplating eyebrow pigmentation for YEARS (had my reservations on who to turn to since I am asian) but after knowing more than several people (of all ethniciites) that were so happy with her work, I finally made the BEST decision of my life! I will always go to her. She not only has a true passion for her work but also cares a great deal about her clients. Amy has also done my makeup as well as many other people I know and I know that everyone agrees that she truly has a special gift.... Pros: professional, trustworthy, beautiful makeup studio, Cons: absolutely none more

i used to go to Dani at the John Barrett Salon and followed her to her current location at the Amy Kernahan Makeup Studio. she is a miracle worker at brows! you can definitly be assured to walk away with beautifully shaped brows!!! she also did eyelash extensions on me and they are sooooo good. i got so many complements saying my lashes looked fabulous and how natural they looked. dani used such precision applying the lashes, placing each lash in the perfect spot. my lashes looked so long and full; no mascara needed!!!!!!! Pros: best service in NYC, super friendly, always satisfied with the results Cons: no more

I had heard only great things about Amy and all the treatments she does at her studio so i decided to go and get the permanent make up procedure done on my brows. i have been filling my brows in for years and after hearing about this hot new makeup tread i wanted it done and wanted only to go to the best. and she was!!!! amy was extremely gentle (no pain during the procedure or after)and created such a natural look. i walked out of her studio seriously feeling like a new person. no longer do i painstakingly have to fill in my brows . now i have natural looking and beautifully shaped brows with absolutely no fuss!!! i recommend amy to everyone and after seeing her studio and how amazing her work is i will definitly be back for other treatments!!!!!!!!! Pros: two thumbs up!!!!!!!!! Cons: NONE more

Growing up in a house full of boys, I was totally clueless about makeup. I always dreaded going to makeup counters and have makeup caked on my face. A friend of mine suggested that I come in to the studio for a brow shaping. Not only did I get a shaping, but I ended up booking a makeup lesson and am strongly considering micropigmentation for my brows!! I didn't feel like i was in a museum and Amy and her staff made sure i felt at home.Her brow and makeup techniques are amazing enough to convert even the toughest skeptics and tomboys! Pros: Great customer service, worth every penny! Cons: NONE more

Amy is amazing she does my eyebrow shaping and she has done my micro pigmentation for my eyebrows. My eyebrows look so natural I get comments about them all the time. And I love the new spray tan system. It really gives me this youthful glow. Which let's face it who doesn't want a youthful glow! And it not streaky. You honestly can't tell at all that I get spray tans. Myself and all my friends go to Amy and everyone raves about her. I can't see myself ever going to anyone else. Pros: Amy is very sweet, professional and comforting. Cons: Never Ever!!!! more

I have been going to Amy Kernahan for my eyebrows for a little while now. She is always really sweet. Not only is she great at eyebrows but she is a great person. She was telling me about this spray tan system she just got the last time I was there. So I gave it a try. I have very pale skin and I have been spray tanned before and I just ended up looking like a cheese doodle. But this was AMAZING. It was a very natural looking tan. And it is all organic. I loved it! So if anyone is looking for a spray tan girls or guys. LOOK NO FURTHER! She is great and she even can spray to make it look like you have a six pack. Who could ask for anything more? Pros: Amy Kernahan is the sweetest and her work speaks for itself! Cons: NONE! more
