Finding a makeup artist for our wedding was one of the things we were the most worried about. In the 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! read more

I'm so happy to meet May in my life. She's very friendly and professional. She also has a good sense of makeup. My friend referred her to me. I'm not a makeup person, and I was a little nervous to get my makeup done. But let me tell you, May nailed it! She really understood what I wanted and listened to my preferences. The result was perfect for me, and my hair looked more voluminous, which is exactly what I needed. I have fine hair, so I need curls to stay and more volume. I'm so grateful to May for making me feel confident and beautiful! I highly recommend. Thank you May ! read more

Mayy was uhhmazing! She is very organized, pleasure to work with, sweet and kind, and most importantly, ...*Drum Rolls*... She helped me look my best! I was very horrified and worried because a pimple came outta nowhere. But she somehow hid it. The majority of my bridesmaids and MOH(Maid-of-Honor) had their makeup done by Mayy! The hairstyles were done by her kind mother. Mayy did my hair and makeup. There was a problem with the back hair volume for the bridesmaids, but that was an easy fix. Just gotta let them know. They were very sweet to help my MIL(Mother-in-law) to add-on some fake lashes last minute. I was impressed by how long the makeup lasted throughout the night (+8hrs). I did not book a touch-up session, so she gave me a small kit to do my own touch-ups. Did I also mention how young Mayy looks? Mahalo Sister Mayy~ read more

I got so many compliments about my make up by May! This is my 3rd time having May do my makeup, and I feel lucky to have her be a part of my special events! She even remembered my makeup requests from over 2 years ago without me telling her. May is very responsive and reliable. I really appreciated that she confirmed with me again the day before, and even arrived 30 min early before our 7am start time. My baby was sleeping when May arrived but that was no problem at all! She quietly worked her makeup magic & my baby remained asleep the whole time--you really can't get more a-MAY-zing than that!!! May is the sweetest & I really look forward to having her do my makeup again in a few months!! read more

May and Paty were awesome! There was a parade in Waikiki on the day of my wedding. But they were still able to make it on time. They even got there before 2 of my bridemaids. Right from the start, May was very accommodating. I originally asked for hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and my mom and myself. But my mother in law and grandma wanted to get it as well. And she was able to accommodate them. She is also very organized and kind. She created a timeline for me so we could keep everything in the track of time. I also learned that May can speak Japanese. My husband's grandma didn't speak English so that was really helpful. We all look beautiful after. May did my hair and make up just like my ideal look. I was very satisfied. Thank you May and Paty. read more

May was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was very responsive and communicated with us and our wedding coordinator from start to finish.

I would definitely recommend her to others! read more

May did my hair and makeup for my cousin 5 years ago when I was a bridesmaid and I was super impressed. I got engaged in 2020 and immediately made sure to book May for my wedding day as soon as possible. May & her crew were amazing doing me & my 5 bridesmaid hair and makeup. May responded to emails quickly and made sure the timeline of when my bridesmaid and I got ready was good. I was absolutely satisfied with my hair and makeup. Not only did May do hair and makeup on my wedding day, she also did hair and makeup for my engagement photo session. May is amazing! read more

May is very responsible and flexible since the first day I contacted her. I was very concerned with the weather as the weather forecast said there was a 50% chance of rain. She was willing to let me confirm with her 3 days before my photoshoot and was willing to reschedule it if the weather doesn't work out. I'm glad it turned out fine and we were able to stick with our original plan. She came on time and did an amazing job!! Very friendly and nice. :D I enjoyed the experience a lot. She also gave me a touch up kit which was very helpful during the photoshoot. Highly recommended!! read more

Beauty By May - May came on time and did an amazing job!! Very friendly and nice. :D I enjoyed the experience a lot. - Makeup Artists Near Me

My experience was overall okay. The artist showed up on time and was communicating well until the wedding date. My makeup seemed a little cakey (she put a lot of foundation). My hair turned out to be beautiful though. Two mothers were not satisfied with their makeup and hair but the artist did not offer to fix it. When we asked she was very reluctant to spend time to fix it so we didn't bother anymore. Wish the artist was a little bit more caring and attentive. I learned quickly that she wouldn't go out of her way to keep the customers happy.. I think it was inconvenient for her. Again, overall it was a good service, but wish things were a little bit better. read more

May was an absolute gem to work with on my engagement shoot and wedding day. She's impeccable with communication and her rates are super competition. Plus, she's a joy to chat with and you really feel like she cares about you. The process is easy - just show her photos of the hair and makeup you're looking for and she'll do her best to copy the styles. If there's something a little off once she's done, don't be afraid to tell her! She's more than happy to make adjustments to make sure you're happy. If you're worried about the hot Hawaiian weather, she uses makeup that magically stays on your face and looks fresh throughout the day! I wore makeup ALL DAY for my engagement shoot and wedding day and it managed to look basically the same for hours. She also does a great job at making you look beautiful, but natural if that's what you're going for. For my wedding, she did my hair and makeup and had her associate, Patty, do my bridesmaids' hair. They were on time and efficient at our Airbnb. I highly recommend May! read more

May is beyond amazing. She was great with communicating, professional, sweet, and super easy to work with. First, May was very accommodating with our last minute engagement photo shoot. She let me come to her place (she also offered to drive to my place) before the sun was up in order for me to make it to our photo shoot location. She was very attentive and gave suggestions to achieve the look I wanted. I loved my hair and make-up, and felt comfortable and beautiful that day. From that moment on, I knew I made the right decision to choose her for our big day. I am also thankful that she kept in touch with me before the wedding, providing answers and recommendations to any of my questions as well as a personalized timeline of the morning. On the day of, May arrived early, happy, and as always, very professional and sweet. May and her hairstylist, Patty, worked flawlessly together to do hair and make-up for both my moms, maid of honor, and 7 bridesmaids; May did both my hair and make-up. All of us have different skin tones, hair types/colors, and needs, but no matter which hairstyle and make-up look we wanted, they were able to accommodate. May and Patty were great at recreating looks from photos, and even making it prettier. They made me, my moms, and my ladies feel so beautiful and confident. Before leaving the hotel, May and Patty made sure that we all had our touch-ups and left me with a touch-up kit. Despite the humidity, our hair and make-up lasted all night. May is just wonderful from start to finish. I can't recommend her enough to all the brides to be. Thank you so much May for the amazing job and for making me and my loved ones look beautiful on my special day. read more

May and Paty did a fantastic job on hair and make-up for me, 2 of my bridesmaids, my mom, and my now-hubby's mom. I first met May in August when my fiancé and I visited Hawaii to do some wedding planning. I went into my hair and make-up trial not really knowing what end result I wanted, but May looked at the photos I showed her, listened to me describe my dress, and then helped combine a few of ideas I had into a look I really loved... and something she thought would look nice with my dress. On the big day in November, May and Paty arrived 15 min early (best news ever to a bride on her wedding day lol) and waited patiently in the lobby for us to get the room ready for them to work their magic. They were super organized and kept all of us right on schedule. May did make up for everyone else and Paty did hair for everyone else, but May did both hair and make-up for me. At some point, one of the groomsmen came to exchange my letter to my fiancé with his letter to me. When he came to the door, May and my bridesmaids helped hide me so that the surprise wouldn't be spoiled. :) When the photographer and videographer came, she asked them if they wanted her to do/repeat anything she had already done so they could get the shots they wanted. She was very sweet and accommodating! May and Paty did and amazing job on everybody's hair and make up, but I have to give super special credit to May for my bridal hair and make-up. The curls stayed completely intact all night and did not fall out. Someone even asked me if I had extensions in because it looked so voluminous.... but nope, it was just May's magic. She also gave me a touch-up kit just in case I needed to fix anything during the day, but I ended up not needing it... even though I got super emotional and cried multiple times. The makeup didn't smudge or come off and looked flawless all night. May's the best! :) read more

Exceptional Service!!! I am so grateful that we found our way to May of "BEAUTY BY MAY" to style my daughter and her bridesmaids for her recent wedding. She is an awesome hair stylist, makeup artist and a good hearted person which I appreciated. She did such a great job on everyone, very organized with great time management skills all while displaying her sweet personality. My daughter's final look was exactly how she envisioned it to be and judging from the smile on her fiance's face, as she walked down the aisle toward him, he loved it too. Thank you, May, for making my daughters Best Day Ever extra special!! We will highly recommend you to anyone who desires to look the best that they can be! read more

Where can I even begin?? May TOTALLY outdid herself with my hair and make up that I got done for my maternity photos. I e-mailed her with a request for how much her services cost and I sent photos showing the look I was going for. May communicated within the same day with a very reasonable quote and assured me she could create the look I wanted. However, May was able to create an even better version and she went to great lengths to get everything looking perfect. It was like watching an artist create a masterpiece - May would scrutinize every hair out of place and the make up on my face to make sure every shade was to her standard. Not only was she a true artist, but she was also a super friendly person that made me comfortable with her light conversation and AWESOME music playlist. The atmosphere of her home (where I met her to do my hair/make up) was cozy and conducive to my successful transformation. At the end of the night after my photo shoot, my make up still looked like it was freshly applied and my updo was able to sustain the 20+mph wind that was wreaking havoc on the beach where my photos were taken. I was sad to take my hair down and remove my make up because May truly made me feel like a model. I will definitely be using her services for future occasions! read more

May is AMAZING! We found her at the last minute and she communicated with us in a very timely manner. May did an outstanding job on my hair and makeup for my first high school winter ball. I never go out with my hair curled because my hair type makes the curls fall out quickly. May used products to make sure that my hair stayed curled throughout the night and I absolutely loved the hair style. I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup by my friends and I felt super happy. I definitely will be going back to her for my next prom. read more

AMAZING. She's so sweet and got me looking fabulous. read more

If I could give May 100 stars out of 5, I would. Hair & Makeup was the first thing on the itinerary for the big day. She was scheduled to arrive at my hotel suite at 7:45am, and she arrived at that time precisely. My first impression of her was that she was extremely sweet and caring. She was also clearly a top notch pro, with tons of experience. May scanned the room, found a large table to set all her products and tools, and got to work. She did hair and make-up for my aunt, mother of the bride, mother of the groom, and me - all back to back! Before she began doing her thing, she asked us to show some pictures of the hair and makeup styles we preferred. May then analyzed each picture, understood the general idea of what we wanted, and essentially combined all the pictures we showed her into one. May is simply amazing. She made me feel confident and beautiful. I'm usually self-conscious of the hyperpigmentation and dark blemishes on my face, but those were no longer a problem on my wedding day. She covered them up without making me look cakey. The makeup was not heavy at all. I was airbrushed. I truly felt like a gorgeous bride!! Throughout our session, she calmed me down (I'm usually a nervous wreck) with her stories. She is soft-spoken, but talkative. I learned that May is booked every day with multiple weddings a day during peak wedding season, and now I totally see why. At the end of our session, she gave me a little touch up kit, which included blotting papers (as an oily girl, this helped A LOT), cream lipstick samples, and Q-tips. She is a professional through and through. My hair & make-up lasted all night, even though I was drenching in sweat from the hot Hawaii weather. No raccoon eyes for me!!! Hoorraayy!! May was a blessing. Thank you so much!! read more

May is outstanding at what she does. She is very sweet, and truly the nicest person ever, she made sure that I was comfortable and relaxed which I appreciated so much. She is a wonderful beauty artist. Now back in December my sister got her hair and makeup done for her winter ball by May, and I absolutely fell in love with the way May did her makeup and hair, it was so beautiful and I knew that for my Junior prom I wanted May to do mines as well. With out a doubt May pulled off a beautiful tied hairstyle with baby's breathe in the braid, and she knew exactly how to create my makeup look. Since my dress was light blue and I didn't know what look I should go for May created a glittery but also natural look, I absolutely loved it and would love for her to do my hair and makeup again for any events that I have coming up in the future! read more

I love May and Patty so much I can't even. My wedding coordinator recommended her and from the very beginning I knew she was professional and one of the best. When my wedding photographer showed up, they greeted each other cause they work together so often. May and Patty arrived a little early (!) and I was worried because my bridesmaids weren't all there yet. No worries, they got to work on my MoH right away and managed to finish everyone on time. My girls and I looked gorgeous with our hair and make up done in the exact styles we wanted. May even gave us recommendations when she thought something didn't look quite right and showed us why. I had asked for some flowers in my hair and May brought a variety of soft foam flowers for me to choose from. I love them and were able to keep them and take home with me as a memento of our special day. May even left me with a cute touch up kit with the colors of my lip gloss that she used, oil absorbing sheets, and q tips for application. It was such a sweet touch, I really appreciated it. Thank you for everything! I can't wait to see how the pictures turned out :) read more

May was truly amazing. My coordinator actually booked and scheduled everything for me, and I'm so grateful we got May for my wedding. We flew into Honolulu on Friday at noon for a Sunday wedding, and immediately went to May for a trial session. I'm glad we did that because it gave us time to get to know each other and chat. May is so nice and sweet and gave us recommendations for food, and even said that, should we ever visit her home country of Thailand, we could contact her and ask her for more recommendations. We chatted about a ton of things, which was great because, of course on Sunday, I was too nervous and excited to say anything. But because of the Friday session, I felt like we had great rapport and she knew what kind of look I wanted. I had her provide makeup services for the groom, both the mothers, and myself. All of them turned out great! My new husband jokes he wish we could bring her home to help us with our faces every day. For the hair, both the moms had short-ish shoulder-length hair, so I wasn't sure what kind of hairdo she would have, maybe just curls straight down? No way, May did some amazing stunts and gave them an updo that looks so full of long locks but did not need to use a single extension! I was thoroughly impressed and really excited. Our moms looked BEAUTIFUL and overall May gave us the ability to just confidently smile and laugh without worrying if hair was leaking out of bobby pins or if makeup was streaking down our face. It held up SO WELL in the heat. I love May and I loved her services, and I would recommend her to anyone coming to Oahu for ANYTHING. read more

May was such a joy to work with, she's the best! Not only was she on time, she was early to a 4:45AM start!! I was amazed! During these time and coming from a different state I was a little worried about what safety measures makeup artists were doing, but May was wearing gloves, face mask and a shield. I was very impressed and felt really safe. I didn't really have a style that I wanted. I sent her a picture of my dress and I asked that it matches with the dress and something natural. She did an amazing job and the pricing is very competitive. Honestly throughout the entire process, she literally will make you feel like she's a friend helping you with your makeup on your wedding day. Very friendly and kind. I actually missed her when I left Hawaii! read more

May was my first and only choice to do my hair and makeup for my wedding. She is super sweet, good at communicating, and very accommodating to the look I wanted. I sent her ideas via email and she was able to get the look that I wanted during the trial. On the day of the wedding she arrived on time. She and her assistant were able to do hair and makeup quickly and beautifully that we actually had downtime before photographers came. When she did my hair and makeup day of, she had tweaked the look from the trial and made it even better! It was exactly what I wanted and more. Thank you for making me look and feel beautiful! read more

May is the best! Beauty by May did my hair and makeup for my September 2017 wedding. May is not only talented but one of the sweetest people I've ever met. All of my 5 bridesmaids, moms, and flower girl had specific looks they wanted and May nailed them all. I didn't have any time at all to touch up my makeup during my outdoor wedding ceremony/reception on the beach in Oahu but my makeup looked flawless in all the photos! I would definitely recommend her. read more

I had May for my wedding day make-up & hair. She did really great job, my make up and hair stay so well for whole day.

She was responsive, courteous and easy to plan with. On the day of, she was punctual and brought everything with her. We discussed a few looks in advance and we came up with a great look. She was helpful with her expertise while still honoring my wishes. We accomplished a romantic look, fitted a haku lei ever so delicately, and the hair never fell apart in the busy and hot day. She also provided a touch up kit which I was grateful for. You will get a flawless, beautiful look with May! read more

May is very thoughtful from the first email during our conversation. That's one of the reasons that I chose her (the other reason is I like the before and after photos). You feel you can totally trust her before you even meet her. She planned ahead and finished on time with very good work. Thank you May for what you did for my wedding! read more

May was so sweet and a delight to work with. She covered all the blemishes and made sure she changed up things I did not like as much on trial to improve for my wedding day. She flew to my wedding in Kauai and although the weather was humid, my makeup stayed on without looking super sweaty or shiny! She's also super sweet and I loved that she was able to work with me for my wedding day. I would highly recommend her. read more

May is unquestionably fabulous. I highly recommend using her for your wedding! I almost never wear make-up, but knew I wanted to be fairytale beautiful for my wedding. I have a sister who could do my make-up, but I wanted to be pampered for my wedding day! My wedding planner had gave me references for three different artists. I went through each one of their websites and reached out to them all. They were all very nice and helpful, but I ended up choosing May because I was impressed with her website, she was very quick to respond to all of my e-mails and inquiries and her price point was right in the middle of all three of them. She asked for a very small deposit which I was happy to pay. She asked me to send her some ideas I wanted and she even sent me a morning itinerary. My wedding planner saw the time list and realized that we wouldn't be finished early enough. When I told May, she was more than happy to change it so we would be on time. A couple days before my wedding she texted me to confirm and said she was excited to serve us. On the day of, she showed up five minutes early and got right to work! She had everything she needed and was so prepared. She did the make-up and hair for my mother, my maid of honor and myself. My mom, like me, never wears make-up, we were both nervous it would look unnatural and it would be too heavy. However, when May was done with my mother I couldn't stop telling her how beautiful she was! It was just the right amount and very classy. With so many things to do for the wedding I forgot to think of ideas of what everyone's hair should look like. So we all gave her a brief description of what we think we would like and she ran with it! I am mixed- half Caucasian half African- American. I have wildly curly hair and most people aren't up to the task of doing my hair without straightening it. I like it curly, I wanted to keep it curly. May didn't even hesitate. I felt absolutely beautiful! She gave me a natural, but stunning look. She even gave me a touch up kit for the rest of the day that consisted of lip gloss, q-tips --in case I cried, which I did--and oil pads so I wouldn't look shiny in pictures. She was quick, gentle and amazing. She was very nice, got along with all of the crazy personalities of my ladies and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. A couple days after the wedding she texted me again to make sure everything went well and to say congratulations. May is great! Hire her! read more

May is the best. She helped me look beautiful for my engagement photo shoot and for my wedding. She is so pleasant to work with. Her mom was good also. I had 8 bridesmaids, 1 flower girl and 2 moms who needed hair and make up as well as me. May and her mother worked nonstop from 7 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon not even to eat despite me encouraging her to take a break. They work hard and conscientiously, paying attention to details with such positive attitude! And the pricing was so much more reasonable then the other vendors I looked into. Highly recommend her. read more

There are not enough stars on yelp for May. She was amazing for wedding make up. I never wear make up and she was able to make me look amazing and still like myself. I asked her for a natural look and did she ever deliver, I looked like the best version of myself. I've had my make up done before and I looked like a clown or someone else. May also did my hair. OMG I can't believe what she did with my hair. It was perfection. I've honestly never felt prettier. My reception was outside in July and my hair and make up still looked amazing 14 hours later after being in the hot Hawaii sun, not to mention the humidity and dancing all night. Finally, Mays personality is amazing! She was calming and I just knew I was in good hands. She responds quickly to emails. In summary, stop searching and book May. You will be thankful you did! read more

May was the best! She did my hair and makeup for my wedding and it was perfect! I have sensitive and uneven skin due to cystic acne as a teen so, I have shyed away with using a lot of makeup as an adult. I lack any makeup guru style but, May made me look beautiful with a few details I showed her. She make my makeup look even, natural, and sweatproof for an outdoors wedding. I sweated a bit, and my makeup didn't crease much for a 6 hour wedding & reception. I barely felt anything on my face and no breakouts the next day!! Thank you, May!!! read more

I can not say enough how lucky I have May for my wedding day. I found her through my wedding planner and it's such a pleasure to work with her. I showed her a picture on Pinterest for hair style and she did exactly the same for me. She offers fake flowers for cheap price so I can add them to my braids and I absolutely love the addition. She also did my two bridesmaids' hair and makeup for my beach wedding and they look so lovely!! She only accepts cash but it wasn't a problem for me because she is amazing at her job!! read more

Beauty By May - My hairstyle with fake mini roses offered by May. - Makeup Artists Near Me

I hired May and her assistant for their hair and make up services for myself and my bridesmaids for my big wedding day a few weeks ago. May is very sweet and professional. I did A LOT of research on different beauty artists while planning my destination wedding in Honolulu and her portfolio and prices impressed me the most. I didn't have a chance to do a trial run but I was confident in her services because of the wonderful pictures I saw on her website. I emailed her what hair styles my bridesmaids and I were interested in. She was very great at responding to my emails and answered all of my questions within a decent time. When I met her and her assistant on my wedding day, they were both very nice and pleasant to work with. They listened to what we wanted and made sure we were happy with how our hair and make up turned out. I'm glad our make up wasn't overdone and packed on like how some artists apply make up. May is very organized and talented. I highly recommend her to anyone who is having a wedding in Hawaii! read more

I have booked May's services for my May 2013 wedding. I took my engagement photos in June 2012. First, I have to say that, May is very prompt with her communication. I contacted her early-on and she was able to book me for my special day with a small deposit. She answered all my questions and even sent me an email to let me know she had received my check deposit. I scheduled my make-up trial on the day I took my engagement photos. Her instructions to her home studio was very clear and I had no problem finding it. She has a nice set-up in her home and I felt very comfortable. I took her several inspiration photos and she got it exactly right!! I have my hair trial scheduled a couple weeks before my wedding. She even told me to email her photos of hairstyles to give her ideas of what I want. This just proves to me that she does her homework. Also, check her website. She does amazing work!

I was so glad I had May doing my hair and makeup. She did the hairstyle exactly as the picture I showed her. The makeup was really natural and she even gave some re-touch kit for the lips.
