Sarah Fahar
Sahar is a skilled and passionate Licensed Esthetician at The Beauty Merchant, bringing years of hands-on experience and a deep-rooted love for the beauty industry.
​
From an early age, Sahar felt a natural connection to beauty — a passion that continued to grow as she built her career within the salon industry. Coming from a family with strong ties to beauty in Toronto, she co-opened and operated her own salon in 2017. While she initially stepped into a management role, her growing clientele and reputation for precision quickly brought her back to where she thrives most: working directly with clients.
​
Sahar has independently operated her own business, offering services including microblading, brow shaping and threading, waxing, facials, and lash services. Known for her attention to detail and personalized approach, she is dedicated to helping each client feel confident, refreshed, and truly cared for. Although she later completed an undergraduate degree in Law, Sahar ultimately returned to her passion for aesthetics — this time in Windsor, Nova Scotia, where she now practices as a Licensed Esthetician.
Â
Her philosophy is simple: beauty should feel natural, refined, and empowering. Sahar is committed to creating results that leave every client feeling confident, polished, and genuinely seen.
