The Philosophy

“Beauty, at its most considered, is about proportion. Not perfection — proportion. The right lash for this eye. The right brow for this face. The right amount of everything.”

Sofia van der Berg — Rare Studio founder

Corina Marcu

I have been working in beauty for over 5 years, trained in Amsterdam and refined through courses in Amsterdam and Bucharest. But the most important education has been the faces that have sat in my chair — each one a study in what enhancement can and cannot do.

I opened Rare Studio because I wanted to create a space that felt different. Not a salon. Not a clinic. Something quieter — a studio where the work is taken seriously and the experience feels like a comfortable, not a transaction.

My approach is architectural. I look at bone structure, eye shape, skin tone, and lifestyle before I pick up a single tool. The result should feel inevitable — as though the face was always meant to look this way.

The Studio

Rare Studio is located on the Sint Nicolaasstraat in Amsterdam' city center. The studio is private, quiet, and designed for focus. Appointments are one-to-one — you will never share your time with another client.
