About Us
The Beauty Bar: More Than a Makeup Counter
In the middle of the desert of Yuma, AZ, there’s an oasis where you can feel like a queen. At The Beauty Bar, we go above and beyond normal skincare and makeup, we’re a makeup studio aiming to give you a unique experience through our services. Here, whatever you say, goes. We don’t want to change you: we want to bring out the most beautiful you, inside and out.
The Beauty Bar started back in 2018 in a 400 sq ft building, but in 2021 we decided to go big or go home & opened our 1800 sq ft professional retail setting in Yuma for our customers to feel relaxed and pampered. We loved the idea of having our own personal spot to do facials, makeovers, and be able to host fun customer events or workshops.
