Amy Kernahan Makeup Studio

Amy is truly the only person I can say that I would trust doing my brows. My brows are the best they ever looked thanks to her. Not only is she the kindest and sweetest person, she truly cares about what she does. I'm probably one of her biggest fans. I have turned many clients of mine to her. You need to try her once and you will be hooked. more

About a year ago I went to a salon and got my eyebrows done. When they were done she hands me the mirror and poof no more eyebrows! It was terrible! I looked like a drag queen.(And a tragic one at that) So that was it for me I never wanted anyone to touch my eyebrows again. So after letting them grow I met a girl named Amy she told me to come to her studio and get my eyebrows done. I was hesitant considering what happened to me in the past but there was something about her that was very reasurring.So I went got my eyebrows shaped. I loved them so much. My eyebrows have never looked this good. I just recently got the micropigmentation on my eyebrows. I kid you not I have never had this many people comment on my eyebrows. A man literally came up to me and I quote " Hey ma I love the arch in your eyebrow." now if men notice your eyebrows(and I'm talkin' a straight man not your local queen) . Then you know they've got to be FIERCE! Thank you for everything Amy you are FABULOUS! Pros: Great customer service and very relaxing space. Cons: None. more

For years I have done my own make-up and brows for fear of the crazed and tweezer-happy hands that typically are artists and aestheticians. Little did I know that in a cozy enclave in the Upper East Side was a woman who would turn my life around. I can say in complete earnesty that my eyebrows have never looked more shaped, defined, or tamed than they do now that I've met her---and as a self-proclaimed brow aficionado, that's sayin' a lot honey. Her makeup techniques range from natural to chic to glam to Lady Bunny; she has a look for everyone and can provide anyone with the look they want. From the atmosphere to the work to the customer service (the beautiful tangerine-haired young woman at the front is one of the studio's greatest assets) to the lady herself, Amy Kernahan Makeup Studio is a diamond in the not-so rough UES streets but she shines brighter than the rest no less. more

I have known Amy many years but most of the time, we have lived in different cities. Whenever I am in town, I make sure to visit Amy for her crafted talents. Her outgoing personality makes you comfortable the second you walk in the door. While she is working, she is gentle and professional, always explaining her process as she does something and also gives me extra tips to help me better manage my daily maintenance. more

As an artist in the industry myself I am constantly meeting talented people. I have known Amy for three years now and find her to be the most talented, gifted artist I have come across (Sorry other friends, don't hate me). Noone can do brows like Amy. She is also amazing at make-up, permanent make-up and airbrush. Everything she does is with such grace and fluidity. She is such a kind person as well. Not only am lucky to have her as my brow and permanent artist, but as a friend and mentor as well. She is a must see, you will never be able to have anyone else ever touch your brows again. She does phenomanal bridal make-up too! Pros: Great, brows, makeup,ambience and conversation. Cons: none more

I hosted a brow party for about ten friends and she improved the looks of everyone there! The feedback I got after was that people were commenting on their looks...saying they look great, asking what they did, but not quite figuring out it was an amazing brow shaping. She is also a warm person with a big heart. Amy donated ALL the proceeds from the party to help a specific orphanage in S. Africa that cares for children who have lost their mothers to AIDS. more

I have shopped around in the eyebrow department and if you think you found the right person and it is not Amy Kernahan YOU ARE WRONG!!!! All I can say about Amy is that she is a true artist. She will make you feel like you have just received a facelift!!! Not only is she great at eyebrows she is outstanding as a makeup artist as well. Amy did my makeup for my wedding and I have to say I photographed very well. I have been married for six years and I still enjoy looking at my pictures. Amy's studio has a very relaxing and warm feeling to it. And if you are new to the city there is no one else that could make you feel right at home the way Amy can her personality is kind and genuine she is a true gem and NYC is so lucky to have her. more

I was referred to Amy a friend and my first appointment was getting my brows done for the first time in my life and getting my make up done for a friend's wedding. She put me at ease right away with her professionalism and kindness. She did an amazing job on both the brows and make up for which I received several compliments. I have been back to see her for my brows since then, I can't believe how much of a difference it makes for my face. She is the only person I'd trust with a tweezer to my face and I've already recommended her to all my friends. Pros: Amy is the biggest pro, also love the area. more

I?ve known Amy for a few years and I have always been amazed by her work. Whether she?s fashioning awesome brows, working her magic with makeup, or readying models for high end photo shoots, she always does an amazingly fantastic job. After I got engaged and booked my wedding date a few months ago, Amy was one of the first people I called ? I couldn?t have imagined anyone else taking care of my skin, brows or makeup leading up to or on my wedding day, I wouldn?t even settle for Trish McEvoy who my sister in law knows! After a couple of visits to her salon, Amy had my sparse eyebrows in tip top shape and taught me some skin treatment and makeup tips that had my complexion absolutely glowing. When I went for my wedding makeup trial session, she really took the time to listen to what I wanted and figured out what would work best for me. On the big day, Amy did a wonderful job on my and my sister?s makeup, I really couldn?t have been any happier. The colors and effects she chose were wonderful and the makeup lasted all day and looked really great in photos. I?ve recommended Amy to many of my friends for her great talent and her warm and friendly nature, she's absolutley wonderful to be around. Pros: Wonderful brow shaping and stunning makeup application more

Amy recently did my makeup for my wedding. As my friends said at the wedding "She knocked it out of the park." It was absolutely beautiful and meticulously done. Prior to the wedding, she also did my eyebrows. They have never looked better. Amy is terrific (not to mention the sweetest) and I would recommend her to anyone. more

I don't think people realize the importance of the eyebrow and what it can do for your eyes and face. They can frame and define your eyes if shaped well, as Amy does flawlessly. I am scared to think about what I might look like if I never met Amy. ( Probably Groucho Marx) Pros: ambience, space, comfort Cons: NONE more

First of all let me say that I am a man (and straight). Now, i was skeptical about getting my eyebrows done, but i had a hot date and my brows were out of control and i couldn't have that...I heard about Amy from girlfriends who've gone to her and i'm so glad i did. Not only did she do a great job, but she was very gentle and professional. Her studio is clean and comfortable and her assistant couldn't have been friendlier. I will definitely go back to her in the future. Pros: Ambience, Service, Attention Cons: none that i can think of more
