Reviews for Beauty Courses in NYC

Beauty Courses in NYC are rated 4.7 stars based on 410 verified reviews from actual CourseHorse.com purchasers.

  • My one-on-one makeup lesson with Lorin Cole was wonderful. She and I talked in advance about what I hoped to learn, and she created a session that met my goals perfectly. I left knowing how to update my look and what I needed in terms of a few different products to achieve that look. We reviewed my current makeup, she created a detailed list of what I use where, and gave me directions in writing with colors and techniques to reinforced what she taught me in person. I have been able to do everything she taught me on my own. Lorin is a real professional. She is as a former model, a working makeup artist, and a fine artist, all of which she puts into her customized guidance. This course was truly everything I wanted, and more.
  • The workshop was great! Cynn the instructor was very helpful!
  • Learned so much about creating the perfect scent! Would def recommend for a girls day or couples!
  • Really awesome class! Not a ton of guidance because perfume is so subjective but it was a really neat experience getting to lean into what scents paired well. Will definitely be back to make our spring/summer scent!
  • What a perfect class!! Daisy was such a knowledgeable teacher - we got to smell perfumes from throughout history. The discussion was top-notch! I’ll definitely be back
  • Loved it, this was my second class with Artisane. It was fun to make our own scents and candles, always best quality material that makes a huge difference on the final result!
  • It was so informative and fun in unexpected ways. I'm someone who really enjoys the who/what/why/where/how behind things. I deeply enjoy wearing perfume and using it as a method of self expression. The class both deepens your knowledge and also expands it; I've found myself trying new scents and looking at perfumes with a more critical eye on sourcing and price. The conversation in the class was fantastic, both due to the classmates and the instructor. You don't make perfume in this class, but if you don't take this class, making perfume if you don't understand the process would be pointless. I particularly enjoyed the section around learning how to build a scent - the base, the middle, the foreground. If you enjoy perfume and would like to expand your scent palette, take this class.
  • Loved my session with Isabella, so was wonderful, totally worth it!!!
  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently attended the "Material Modules: Citrus & Aldehydes" class with Fragrance Alliance Network on July 27, 2024, and it was an incredible experience. The instructor, Gus Romero, was knowledgeable and engaging, making complex topics easy to understand. I also want to extend my gratitude to Michael C. Long, Ph.D., for his invaluable help and insights throughout the training. I learned so much, and the price of the course was unbeatable considering the wealth of knowledge provided. We definitely got more than what we paid for. I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in learning more about perfumery and raw materials.I am definitely using what I’ve learned to provide better fragrance reviews and I know is just getting better and better for me,maybe I deep dive into perfume creation ?

  • The classroom was very clean, all the oils were properly labeled. Her illustration on oil extraction origin and scent strength were very precise. I don't even remember her name, which she did told us but through my eyes, her charisma wasn't about herself. Her sole performance was to educate us in the art of scent blending. As you can see, I did enjoy that appreciated time in that classroom. She was very professional from start to finish.
  • I have worn make-up for nearly 30 years, and have gotten make-overs and advice from make-up counters, Sephora, and online tutorials. However, as I get older I’ve started to wonder if there are better products and techniques out there for me. I’m so glad I went to Shara! I learned SO much valuable information from Maggie. She addressed my concerns and showed me techniques and tricks I was unaware of, and I now feel confident that I have the right makeup and tools. My only suggestion is that they provide a printed diagram that can be used to draw in where makeup should go/makes notes. Although they do provide a sheet with instructions, of sorts, I personally feel like a visual representation would be more helpful. It was a lot of information.
  • The woman running the class was so sweet, helpful and knowledgeable. The experience was so cool and relaxing. Highly recommend to anyone considering making their own perfume.
  • This was one a very unique experience. A group of friends and I organized this to celebrate a birthday. It was super fun creating our own fragrance by exploring different scent combinations. I would definitely do this again!
  • The class turns out to be great, but the listing address needs to be updated.
  • She is very responsible and informative teacher - I’m glad that she could show up
  • I attended the class with my 11 year old granddaughter. We both enjoyed it very much. It was both fun and interesting. The teacher was knowledgeable, personable and very patient with our questions.
  • Excellent class- highly recommend!
  • The teacher was very knowledgeable and patience. She is also very observant because she caught my mistake and knew how to correct it.
  • Amazing teachers and amazing program. Learned so much!! For sure recommend!!
  • Great experience Highly recommend
  • I enjoyed every minutes of the class.
  • It was amazing! Me and my sister loved it! From the instructor to the place and other people, essences, and the outcome, everything was great! Thank you!
  • We loved it! It was great

  • Makeup class was amazing and very informative. Would recommend it 100 percent!
  • It was small & super cute! Nancy was very helpful & thorough in explaining everything to is. Had a great time!
  • Holiday Greens Workshop

    I really enjoyed this class. Teacher was fantastic. I would definitely recommend this class
  • I thought it was a very informative class. Coursehorse needs to change their address as I went to the wrong place and had to rush to the new location which was 10 blocks away! The service was great.
  • Fun and informative! The Apothecary is so lovely and I took so many learnings from this class.
  • I really enjoyed this class. Marla was amazing, informative, engaging and passionate about the class. I learned so much and am so encouraged about my entrepreneurial journey.. I’m going to take another class with her.
  • The class was awesome! I will definitely take more classes.
  • This class was so interesting and informative. My husband and I had a wonderful time. I purchased this class as a birthday gift for my husband. I would definitely love to go and make another fragrance.
  • - Facilitator was prepared with teaching points and an agenda but answered my questions - Clean and attractive space - Opportunity to apply what I learned
  • Michelle was excellent and ver informative. Looking forward to taking the class with another set of friends!
  • Love, Love, Love! I really enjoyed the one on one tutorial I received. Maggie was so patient and explained how to use products very well. Her recommendations were also very helpful in learning about why we need certain tools when applying makeup. I would definitely recommend this class!
  • What an amazing class. I learned so much and had so much fun.
  • Really detailed. Great for someone trying to get into the business.
  • The class was jam‐packed with information. It was accessible for total beginners and detailed enough for people who want to understand the science behind this art for their business. Marla gave wonderful advice on making recipes. She answered every question in simple terms. We received a handout for notes. Everyone left with 4 products to take home. I would recommend this class or the diploma to anyone who is serious about jumpstarting their business and wants to connect to a true industry professional.
  • Contouring lesson

    It was a great experience for my daughter, who is a young makeup and beauty enthusiast. Maggie was professional, friendly and receptive to all her questions.
  • I’ve been wearing makeup for 22 years and wish I had booked a session years ago! My skin has been changing in recent years and I could never figure out why my makeup routine wasn’t making my skin look flawless. I bought tons of makeup that I saw people using on YouTube makeup tutorials and had no idea what to do with it. Anyway, being a better learner when getting hands-on experience, something finally clicked and I’m super grateful for it! The makeup line is very reasonably priced, too! I left feeling very happy and full of confidence. I’m recommending this to all of my gal pals, for sure!
  • I loved it
  • It was great and extremely detailed and helpful.
  • Excellent content and practical, highly recommend!
  • I was warmly greeted by the artist and enjoyed learning in the brightly-lit, chicly-decorated space! I learned tricks for highlighting and for applying concealer and had the chance to try out a few new products. I appreciated the one-to-one, in- person interaction and the chance to ask questions. The hour flew by!
  • Great class and Marla the instructor was absolutely fabulous. Hands on and informative.
  • So helpful!! Really thorough, so many of my long standing questions on products, placements, things I found confusing, etc. were all answered. Really helpful in refining my make-up skills. Spending one hour here will save you so much in the long run and you’ll look even better! Highly recommend.
  • Tamara is a great teacher!!!! She taught me all the essentials for bridal hair. I had no experience with bridal and now I feel more confident.
  • Intro to Drag Make-up: Comprehensive (NYC)

    It was thorough and informative both in the art and the culture. A very safe fun space. The class size was intimate and appreciated. After some practice of what I’ve learned, I’d like to take another class to push me further.
