Finding a makeup artist for our wedding was one of the things we were the most worried about. In…read morethe past, my wife and I have experienced makeup artists that were not familiar with doing makeup well on Asian faces. We didn't want that, especially for our wedding. Our prayers were answered when we found May. This review is a bit long because it isn't fair to only describe her as amazing, because she is so much more! First off, May is so incredibly talented as a makeup artist. She has artistic vision and works to emphasize your features versus a "copy & paste" makeup style. Secondly, she is also very organized and professional from communicating before the wedding, to the makeup trial, to the day of the wedding making it easy to discuss and confirm with her. To start off, we are 2 brides, so that is double the makeup! My wife and I typically don't wear a lot of makeup so it was difficult for us to voice what we wanted and know what would look good on us. We decided to include a makeup trial which I HIGHLY recommend all brides do. My wife showed May some photos of the makeup look and up-do hairstyles she liked. May was so talented and gave my wife exactly the look she asked for. However, this is why the makeup trial is important because, my wife ended up realizing that she actually want a more natural look because it would make her feel more comfortable and that she actually would prefer her hair down. May was so understanding and had suggestions on how she can create that as she knew exactly what my wife wanted! With May's expertise, my wife felt so comfortable and beautiful with her hair and makeup on our wedding day. As for me, I shared a few images with May and described to her the feel I wanted to evoke with my hair and makeup. I mainly spoke about the facial features that I wished to emphasize and those I wished to minimize and trusted May to create the final vision. She did just that! May gave me the fresh faced look and styled my hair to matched the vision I had but didn't know how to voice entirely. May also went the extra mile for us to make our wedding perfect. On the day of our wedding, I suddenly asked if she could support us on-site at the wedding ceremony and for photos afterwards. This was because we did a small photo shoot on the day of our makeup trial, at the wedding location, the wind was insane and our hair was in our faces for all the photos. The weather also looked to be about the same on our wedding day, so for our wedding, we didn't want the same thing to happen, and I presented May with this last minute request. When I tell you she is kind and caring, I can't emphasize that enough. She told me that she had something already scheduled but she understood why and that she will try. She shifted her personal schedule around asking for her friend to help to take care of her personal errands, to be able to accompanying us to the wedding ceremony and photoshoot afterwards. I almost felt undeserving because this was essentially a stranger we met that week, but she has such a big and kind heart and was so caring that she was willing to go above and beyond to make us look and feel good on our wedding day. During the ceremony she was always watching to make sure both my wife and I looked our best. I really can't express or thank her enough for her talent, time, and kindness. She IS the best makeup artist in Hawaii!

I had an initial call with Erika before I signed the contract and shared the concerns I had with my skin and hair to get recommendations. Leading up to the wedding day, they have an online platform to fill out details like the type of skin you have, hair type, and an option to include inspo photos for hair and makeup. They were always quick to respond via email and I thoroughly enjoyed my interaction leading up to the wedding. I requested 3 hair and makeup, 1 bride hair and makeup + trial session, and groom pampering. The services were expected to be completed between 9-12:30 pm. I had my hair and make up trial a few days before my wedding with Erika and it was a wonderful experience. I timed my trial and it took 1.5 hrs to do makeup then hair. I shared some changes I wanted for the wedding day after the fact via email and reminded them of the changes and feedback I shared during the wedding day. Fast forward to the wedding day. We drove over an hour with traffic to the venue, on my way there and received a call and text from Erika informing me that her hair stylist was running late. This is understandable, we are human and traffic is unpredictable so okay that's fine. They were expected to be set up at 8:45 am, with us arriving at 9 am. We all arrived at 9 am ready to go and make up started. However, hair was delayed and I could tell that they were getting stressed with the time. There were some comments made while I was getting ready that didn't sit right with me and I brushed it off at the time. After having a really good vibe during the trial, the wedding day felt off. I was also disappointed neither me nor my bridal party were informed they were leaving before doing touch ups and putting my veil in. I ran back after photos and they were gone :( After the fact, someone from my bridal party mentioned to me how they said they wished they spent more time on me and how they just ran out of time. They're definitely great at what they do and have tons of experience in the bridal industry. I think and hope I had an isolated experience. I shared my grievances with Erika after the wedding and appreciated her response and understanding.

I found Reniel through a referral from someone who had also gotten married in Hawaii. From the…read morestart, she was always quick to respond, friendly, and gave me clear information. Myself, my mom, my sister, and my best friend were all getting hair/makeup done for my wedding day and Reniel gave us a clear timeline and estimate for the services and it was pretty easy to set up. On wedding day, she was on time and ready to go, and brought one additional girl with her. They were very friendly and easy to talk to. Although it was different than what I usually go for, I ended up really liking my makeup look and loving my hair, as did the other girls. The downsides for me were that they ended up running pretty behind on the schedule, and when my aunt showed up to pick me up for the ceremony I wasn't even dressed yet. The girls never mentioned/addressed time or anything and I started getting pretty anxious to get going. They took my sister almost an hour late. We ended up double paying for them to valet park at the hotel, because we paid the hotel and we also paid the girls including the valet price. I don't think they did this on purpose but it wasn't ideal. Lastly, they did a tattoo coverup for my small tattoo and although it made it lighter, it didn't completely cover it. I wasn't told this before and it wasn't addressed in the moment either.

I 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a calm, talented, and professional artist who will bring your vision to life. I wanted soft, natural makeup and an elegant updo, and that's exactly what she delivered. I did a trial with her about 1.5 months before the wedding, and I highly recommend doing one as it gave us the perfect chance to make small tweaks, and by the time my big day came, I felt confident and excited. As someone who doesn't wear much makeup, I was worried I might not feel like myself, but Grace Nicole found the perfect balance. I still looked like me, just glowing and beautiful. She was incredibly responsive, professional, and so thoughtful with every detail. On my wedding day, she brought two other artists to help with my bridal party, and they also amazing! We spent about five hours getting ready in the bridal suite together, and they made it such a relaxed, joyful part of the day. Grace Nicole also helped me decide how to wear my veil with my updo.

Everything Valerie L. and Lisa I. have written about Dorys is exactly how I feel about her too. She…read morewas among three make up artists that were recommended to me when I was searching for someone to do hair and make up for my wedding. What appealed to me and my matron of honor (who was also scouting out vendors for me!) was that Dorys made her subjects look pretty yet natural. Plus, I was intrigued with the whole "airbrush" deal. I had no idea you could airbrush people in addition to pictures! I am glad that I agreed to do a run through session with Dorys a couple of days before the wedding. Per her request, I gave her some pictures of hair and make up styles that I liked and she did a great job replicating the styles on me! What I liked about Dorys and doing the run through was that she wanted me to be totally comfortable with how I looked. When I told her I wasn't too sure about the lipstick color, she changed it to a more berry shade and I was super happy! (Little things like that matter, you know?) I loved how the airbrushing turned out, how she did my eyes (I've got the weird predicament of having eyelids but very Asian slanted-eyes so a lot of artists don't really know what to do with me.) Something important to mention - after I left my run through my appointment, my fiance and I went to check in to the hotel where we would be married. I noticed that the curls in my hair fell flat right away. I was very worried that this would happen the day of my wedding. My hair is fickle and will sometimes refuse to hold a curl for the life of me. I emailed Dorys to let her know what happened and that I felt more comfortable curling my own hair and then have her style it. Dorys' assistant emailed me back that it wouldn't be a problem. The day of the wedding, Dorys was on point. While she did arrive 15 minutes late (which can feel like an hour for an anxious bride!) she quickly did my Maid of Honor's hair and then went to work on me. I had curled my hair before she came but left the styling to her. Ever the professional, she told me she understoond my worries about the curls not holding with the hairspray she used the other day. But looking at me, all she saw were flyaways. Would I reconsider using hairspray if it was aerosol? I told her that if she thought it was best, go for it. So she did and my curls lasted the entire time!!! Dorys also finished a little bit early so there was plenty of cushion time to go from the room to the ceremony location for pre-wedding pictures. I am so glad that I decided to splurge on having someone else do my hair and make up because it was something I didn't have to worry about. And because I did have a run through with Dorys, I knew exactly what she was planning to do and how it would turn out. I highly recommend Dorys to anyone that wants to have a professional take care of her hair and make up on her big day. Not only do you not have to worry about how you look but you will also feel really good about how you look for your pictures! PS: I advise you to use your own lipstick for touch ups during your wedding day. The gloss Dorys gives is great but doesn't add as much color as your trusty lipstick. I read that from someone else's review and it was a great tip!

Maleana honestly wasn't my first choice but I planned my wedding in about a month and a half and…read moreDorys was free. I got hair and makeup done. Airbrushing was highly worth it. Stayed on perfectly and my skin looked flawless. I wasn't uber impressed by my eyelashes. I actually brought my own with me (which I was charged extra for...understandable since they had their own there but theirs weren't very good). When I got a chance to look at them when we were done with our one and a half worth of wedding & photosession, one eyelash was so loose it was coming off in the inner corner. I think they could have been WAY closer to the lash line. Makeup-wise, other than the unimpressive lash job was great! After the run-through session I talked to her about what I would change, emphasize a little more, etc. She listened. Did a beautiful eyemakeup job and the airbrushing really did look incredible. My hair turned out GORGEOUS. In fact, it was so relieved I went to her. I had always envisioned my hair would be a few inches longer when I got married but the wedding came up quickly and my hair wasn't there. When I mentioned this to Dorys, she offered extensions! I had my hair done the week before the wedding and met up with her to match the extensions. I was a little nervous about the extensions since we didn't do the run-through with them but she matched them perfectly and my hair ended up looking just like I'd imagined- length and all. And I got to keep them to use afterwards! I had to buy toupee clips to sew on to reuse them but I honestly still use them to this day (they're real hair and easy to clip in). Well worth the money to have someone match them up for me. Dorys was really awesome and very professional. Since we just had a little wedding on the beach nearby, Dorys was nice enough to let the videographer come in and spend time shooting me during (getting in her way a little bit) as well as letting us hang out a little bit afterwards on a Sunday afternoon to let us get some great shots. Her studio is really cute and airy and looked great on camera. Very laid back. I would definitely recommend Dorys! Also perfect for getting married on Waialae beach (in front of Kahala hotel)- super close by. Only took about 5 min to get there. :)
