Leena's Studio NYC

Leena's Studio NYC is run by Leena Sajid, who founded the studio and works as its artist. The studio states that it was established in 1999, and that the New York studio opened in 2026. Before the New York location, her work was based in Lahore and Karachi, Pakistan, where she has dressed brides and worked on events for many years.

The studio presents itself as a private setting, closer to a private salon among close friends than a large commercial space, and describes its work as more than makeup. Bridal work is at the centre of the studio, covering South Asian bridal makeup and hair for the baraat, nikkah and walima. Bridal bookings begin with a consultation and include a trial, and the package includes dupatta and jewellery setting along with a touch-up kit for the day.

Beyond bridal, the studio takes on event and party glam for occasions such as mehndi, engagements, galas and nights out. Hair work covers colour, tint and styling. Couture and wardrobe styling and skin and beauty aesthetics are also offered. Editorial work is handled from concept through to camera, and the studio also runs artist-to-artist teaching as a masterclass.

Bookings are made by appointment, with hours listed as all week. Enquiries are answered personally with availability and a tailored quote, and the studio recommends getting in touch three to six months ahead for weddings. The online enquiry form opens the visitor's email app rather than submitting through the site, and the site states that it stores nothing.

Work is built on artistic vision and technical precision, and the studio describes its practice as more than makeup.
