Starr power came to downtown Bedford on February 14 when Tawana “Starr” Spratt opened Starr Quality Upscale Boutique & Beauty Supply.
Even though the store has only been open for a few months now, this dress-making star “was born” years ago when she made her daughter’s dress for the Shaker Heights High School prom and soon everyone wanted in. Trained by her grandmother, Birda Spratt, Starr has been making dresses and guiding fashion for over 20 years.
Her custom-made designs are in demand and require four to six weeks of preparation. The clothing line in her store starts at girl’s toddlers (sorry no boys!) and goes through adult and plus-sized fashions.
But Starr Quality Upscale Boutique is more than an upscale dress shop. Starr has expanded to include her own line of jewelry (Mi’ Amor) and organic cosmetics, including a gentle, aloe-vera based hand sanitizer, lotions, body washes, nail products and make-up. Top sellers are the banana hand wash and fresh-smelling muscle ache cream.
Starr’s boutique experience will be expanding this month to include the Beaming White teeth whitening process. This new service is 100% organic and is a spa-like procedure. To top it off, Starr offers a full line of weight loss products that focuses on detoxing and replenishing your body rather than depriving it. These include an all-natural detox tea (Iaso Teas) and the Delgada weight loss line.
