Beauty artists and business partners Gabriel Trujillo and Jeffrey Fernandez opened Sparkle Beauty Studio in late 2003, after rising through the ranks of the backstage beauty world in the 1990s. Their two-chair parlor pays homage to the venerable Max Factor salon of yore via a lustrous dose of vintage Hollywood glamour. Tinted plate-glass windows grant privacy for the often high-profile clientele, while simultaneously allowing plenty of natural light which, as these pros know, flatters most skin tones. In addition to Sparkle’s own VIP hair-care line, Trujillo and Fernandez use a variety of products—depending on each client’s needs and also in support of the larger beauty industry—so everyone gets their own personalized product recommendation list. All services begin with a pre-wash oil treatment and scalp and hand massage, and seldom do clients depart without being polished to the hilt: Cut, color, brows, and expertly applied makeup literally leave everyone looking ready for their tiaras. — Sarah Walker

Adventurer Bear Grylls began a lifetime of exploration at an early age. Bear grew up on the Isle of Wight, and as a young boy would go mountain climbing with his father. He has hosted the Discovery Channel's MAN VS. WILD, in which he strands himself in remote locations to demonstrate localized survival techniques, since November 2006.

Grooming for In Touch editorial: Gabriel Trujillo/ Sparkle Beauty Studio NYC

There’s something super-sexy about being a model at a photo shoot. Maybe it’s the lights, the VIP treatment, or being pampered for the day with your own private glam squad. Well, that’s the same feeling you get at Sparkle Beauty Studio. The Sparkle beauty team, Gabriel Trujillo and Jeffrey Fernandez, got their start applying lashes, spackling faces, and clipping hair for fashion cover photo shoots, including W Magazine and Women’s Wear Daily and television award shows like the MTV Video Music Awards. Haircuts start at $100, and blowouts and straightening services are $45 each. You can also request hair color (ranging from $120 for a quarter head, to $250 for a full head), styling for $100, and double-process color for $200. Want some extra sizzle? Splurge for a makeup application ($125) for a look that’s nice and natural or full-on glam.

Insider Tip: Primp like the stars with the Sparkle Beauty Studio Backstage VIP hair care line, which includes VIP Lift, Star Puddy, and more.

Sparkle Beauty Studio® Turns 3

Three years ago on Thanksgiving weekend, Jeffrey and Gabriel decided to make a change.  After finding the perfect location and 7 sleepless nights, Sparkle Beauty Studio® was born. "Let's give each and every client the opportunity to a One on One Intimate Backstage experience. We'll make a daily commitment to that ideal and always strive to do our best."

We look back at these extraordinary moments that define us today:

• The Grammy Awards and beautifying the illuminate Yoko Ono and son Sean Lennon.

• The MTV Video Music Awards and seeing Jeffrey's smiling face as he perfected Shakira and P Diddy.

• The birth of BACKSTAGE V.I.P., our signature line of Hair Care designed by yours truly.

• Jeffrey's Aunt Norma Diaz Givler becoming a true angel and Gabriel's mother Joyce Everett Nolan and her first visit to New York.

We extend our warmest Thank You's to all who believe in our vision and especially to Miss Althea Nurse who have offered unending loyalty and support.

Sparkle!

What did the New York Post say about Sparkle Beauty Studio®?..."If you've ever envied the glamorous dressing rooms featured in old movies, then this is the place for you. Sparkle has only two seats, but it's got the look (and feel) of an old-time movie set's makeup area. Owners Gabriel Trujillo and Jeffrey Fernandez have a client base of thirtysomething downtowners, who relish in their careful cuts, which take 45 minutes to an hour. You'd wish it were two hours once you try one of their famous hand massages, which they administer while the conditioner sets in your hair."
