Alex Bradberry is the Founder of award-winning The Sparkle Bar Makeup and Beauty Studio, located in Scottsdale Arizona, which opened it’s doors in 2015.
The Sparkle Bar is Arizona’s first full-service makeup only studio and was built with a mission to provide confidence to all customers and celebrate diversity and inclusivity in all ways. That’s not only reflected in the talented staff of artists, but variety in products and brands we use on our “Sparkle Babe” clients on a daily basis.
The Sparkle Bar was birthed out of necessity, a true global movement and community for the woman or man who has ever felt they didn’t match the “cultural norms” of beauty. It was Bradberry’s intention to create a safe space celebrating everything that makes each individual client uniquely who they are, leaving customers with a flawless application with each visit.
Through virtual lessons and in studio makeup application experiences, each client exists to Sparkle. The studio uses a variety of makeup brands on clients, to giving them each an array of options to select the products that make them feel and look their absolute best. Clients can select from makeup applications ranging from fresh face $45 to bridal makeup applications for $225. The Sparkle Bar artists offer packages and memberships, for services both on location and in studio.
