Vivrant Beauty

Desiree, the owner is knowledgeable about the different lines. She was quite patient with my bff who had lots of questions about hair care products and was researching online during her in store shopping consultation with Desiree. This is more than a beauty supply store as described by Google. It has the feel of a Blue Mercury or Space N K-​more of a boutique and carries unique brands at more accessible price points than the above mentioned retailers. I love that this business is female owned and Desiree carries many brands that are also women owned, sustainable, and eco friendly. I have already become a loyal customer and will bring all my bffs here for their beauty needs.

This store is beautiful and the product lines are well curated. I went in with a friend not intending to buy anything, but rather just to tag along, but I was impressed by the owner’s knowledge and made a few purchased. I’m loving everything I bought (seriously Mario Badescu Vitamin C works wonders!). The shopping experience is very personal and friendly but not at all pushy. I’ll return.

I stumbled across this store a few months ago while visiting Harlem and fell in love — the owner was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to recommend products specific to my hair (locs) and my hair issues (dryness). I have a toddler at home and she also recommended products I could pick up for her — now, Soultanicals Fluffalicious is my go-​to product for my little girl’s curls. I live out of state, so I purchase products now from Vivrant Beauty’s website — love it so much that I ordered my best friend a curated beauty box this past Christmas and she’s now a fan!

After reading about Vivrant Beauty on social media, I was quick and in a hurry to make it a destination. The owner has a special energy that makes you feel beautiful just by walking through the door. I was introduced to Eden hair products via a buy one get one half off special that was running at the time, and I adore them for myself and my two daughters. It’s great to have all my beauty needs met right in Harlem!

I live in Virginia but when I go to Harlem to visit my family I make a stop to replenish my hair products at Vivrant Beauty.
Desiree and her staff are always a pleasure and welcoming when you enter the store :)

Just what Harlem needed, a place to get everything you need from hair, make up and beauty products! The owner knows her stuff and is always a delight to interact with. The location is easy to get to and a regular stop for me. Harlem beauty at its finest!

Best beauty spot in Harlem, period.
I’m picky. Like 10+ yrs in NYC picky. But if my Happy Place were an actual place, it would be Vivrant Beauty.
It is sincerely curated for the smart, busy girl, unlike the chain stores. Last time, I picked up a SEXY apricot colored lipgloss from butter (owner knows a million beauty secrets) and checked out Indie Lee, a line made by a woman who has survived cancer and wants to make products for beauty and wellness. Gorgeous! Owner seems to be able to field all product questions I have, in a quick and warm way. Lovely people there.
Super fresh, relaxing, distinctive, and they have cool affordable picks too like Edenbody Works. Luv times 100.
Tip– I travel a bunch, but it seems like they know their client: You can order online! So if you find a conditioner that’s perfect for you, you can get it wherever you are.

Intelligent product curation coupled with knowledgable and patient staff always help me bring home the right gifts for the wife when I’m in town on business. How would I have known that Mario Badescu Skincare enzyme gel (whatever that is) would get me so many brownie points back home⁉
Part of the allure is getting up into Harlem and seeing how Vivrant and neighboring enterprises like the rad Flame Keepers Hat Club next door are breathing a fresh spirit into that part of the city. I’m from the south so I love anything with grit, elegance, and soul. That’s why I make a point to stop by Vivrant Beauty every time I come to New York City.

The décor is beautiful and the owner is gracious and inviting. They stock my favorites from Ginger & Liz, Eden Body Works, and more and they have new hair and nail products before anyone else. I wish I lived in Harlem so I could stop by more often!

I have never been, I have only viewed the store on-​line and it seems wonderful for women to connect on a professional level while having the best experience in beauty care. Lovely.

I’m so happy that Vivrant is in the neighborhood. Desiree sells some of the best beauty, skincare, and haircare products on the market; and I always have a great time exploring! The store is absolutely beautiful, and welcoming. Desiree, the owner, is a ball of sunshine, and really knows her beauty/​hair stuff. I love it!

Such a lovely neighborhood gem — an enclave of tried & true beauty products that are tailored to my skin tone and type.

Desiree and Alexis are awesome. They create genuine connections with their client and have a wonderful approach toward beauty, service and design. I am so happy that Vivrant Beauty is Black owned and operated. I wish these two women success and more stores in the future!

My first time and it was truly a wonderful experience. Had a specific concern a downer was able to recommend a number of products that would work wonders for my hair, since I’m natural. This place is truly a one stop spot for all things beauty.

I had the pleasure of going into VB at the end of summer and was blown away. This store is a diamond on the rough! Not only do they have great products for both men and women but the service is impeccable. I walked out with makeup, facial and hair products as well as some jewelry which I was super excited to use. I have since done some online purchases because I live in Brooklyn but I am excited to visit the boutique again really soon! I feel especially happy to support a young sister. Vivrant Beauty will definitely be my go-​to spot for my beauty and hair needs!!!

Vivrant Beauty offers great products along with Excellent Customer Service. The team has an in-​depth knowledge of products and brands that they carry. All skin and hair types are welcomed here, for both Women and Men. This is my Favorite Beauty spot!

OMG!!! I am absolutely obsessed w/​this store! Alas! High quality products & outstanding customer service join forces! Vivrant Beauty is my fave Harlem beauty shop… Correction, my fave beauty shop in general. Thank you Mom for putting me on to this place! You can find all of your skin care & makeup needs at Vivrant Beauty.

I live in the neighborhood and passed this shop numerous times on my way home. I finally popped in one Friday afternoon and I’m so mad that I didn’t stop by earlier. The owner is so nice and pretty knowledgeable about her stock. They mostly sell hair care and some facial care products. Brands they carry are Eden Bodyworks, Oyin, REN, Soultanicals, BECCA and some others that are new to me such as Briogeo and Davines.
The reason that I gave the business five stars is that the space is bright, cheery and uncluttered which makes for a positive shopping experience. The lighting is especially important if you are buying cosmetics. Additionally, I had a selection of hair care products that I was going to choose from and the owner steered me towards what she thought would have have been better for my hair texture even though some of my choices were almost double the price of what I ultimately ended up purchasing. Vivrant Beauty also caters to all skin and hair types.
I am so happy to have another beauty haven in Harlem and especially love the fact that it’s right in my neighborhood and very reasonably priced.

I stopped in this place today after a suggestion by a member of a travel group I’m apart. I don’t think he realized how beauty obsessed I am. This is such an amazing store especially if you are looking for great hair care products for curly girls. Not only do they sale great quality natural hair care products, they also sale amazing makeup by Becca Cosmetics! And all the colors are ultra brown girl friendly. The shop owner was so nice and friendly. I will definitely come back to this place again.

Great beauty boutique in Harlem with really great, healthy skin care brands. The owner is also super nice and knowledge. My favorite thing about the boutique is that it caters to all women of different shades and hues.
