I found Reniel through a referral from someone who had also gotten married in Hawaii. From the start, 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. read more

My sisters and I have used Reniel on multiple occasions. All of our junior/senior proms, and a wedding. She always does a great job. For the proms Ren comes herself but she has other girls that came and helped do the makeup for the wedding. More than reasonable prices. Whenever there's an occasion coming up I always recommend this makeup artist. She only makes house calls to my knowledge. But she always does a great job! You have to go through her Instagram to get to her. She was a bit hard to contact initially but once we got ahold of her she was always on top of it and answered all of our questions. read more

My sister and i had Reniel do our makeup for the marine corps ball. I was pleased to find out that she would come to us. She made sure to ask what we wanted in advance. She arrived on time and was very friendly. She made sure we were happy with the end result. I would highly recommend her if you have an event you need to look beautiful for. read more

Reniel did my makeup for a beach photoshoot. I showed her two pictures of makeup looks that I liked, and she did something in between and I loved it! She made me feel so beautiful, and she was very outgoing and made me feel comfortable throughout our time together. I picked her because I felt like she had experience with women of a variety of skin colors and ethnicities, so I thought she would know how to work with my face. I was right, she definitely delivered! I would absolutely recommend her to others and would for sure use her services again! read more

I highly recommend Reniel for hair and makeup! I read some reviews for her and based on reviews and pictures (and the fact that she was the quickest to respond), I'm glad I chose her. I reallllllly don't wear a lot of makeup and wanted to just have my makeup and hair enhance my wedding day, so I communicated that to her and she did a FABULOUS job. I received so many compliments saying that I looked absolutely stunning, and everything complemented my classic style wedding dress. She also styled my daughter's hair to go with her lei po'o and even helped my mom with her hair! Reniel was overall AMAZING and I highly recommend her. So much so that this is my first Yelp review read more

I had my son's Halloween makeup scheduled with a salon in Kapolei, but I was later informed (the same day & 1 1/2 hrs prior to appt) that the artist had 'called-in.' I was scrambling to find someone else through yelp & called at least 3 salons/makeup artists who were unable to accommodate me for an appointment due to the short notice. I can't tell you how happy and relieved I was when I got a hold of Ren & she was willing to do my son's zombie makeup!!! No way would I have been able to do what she did. I'm so grateful she was so accommodating even at such short notice. She was very sweet, easy to carry a conversation with & (most importantly) did an amazing job on my boy. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who's in need of getting their makeup done for any occasion. Mahalo, Ren!!!! read more

Reniel May Beauty - Hair :) - Makeup Artists Near Me

Last minute I decided to get my hair and make up done for the annual military ball. Lucky for me, the stars aligned and I got to meet Reniel and schedule a time with her. Booking: Was easy through style seat. https://www.styleseat.com/renielmaysaludez I was juggling a lot that weekend and Reniel really worked with my schedule and found a place that would make the days schedule flow to my advantage. Even though I was indecisive about the meeting times and location she was flexible and made sure to make it work. Artistry: I had seen reniels work on instagram and her style seat. She has been published and works with a lot of Asian/Pacific Islander Faces and hair so I was confident that she would know how to turn me into a superstar! We met up at a studio in the Ward Center area and she was so friendly, professional and welcoming! We made small talk and then discussed the hair and make up. I did not walk in with a clear cut idea of what I wanted but instead wanted her to take control of the appointment. She looked at my dress and decided on full body hollywood glamour curls and a bold dark eye to go with my conservative dress. My hair is difficult and does not hold a curl very well. Reniel worked her magic and after 2 hours my hair looked stunning! I had big hair and I loved it! The way the curls fell and framed my face really pulled the entire look together perfectly. Reniel was a great listener and really took into consideration all the aspects of my make up routine and glammed it up 100 notches. Her hands are light, soft and gentle, even when it came to applying eyeliner and my lashes, she was a definite professional who had natural talent! My face after our appointment was stunning. Her highlighting and contouring helped shape my face, while my eye shadow was just dark enough to be classy and sexy at the same time. My foundation was matched perfectly and I looked flawless! I was ready for the ball! Time: She allotted 2 hours for the appointment and she was on time, which everyone can appreciate when you are on a schedule. Price: She is extremely reasonably priced. For an Even full hair and make up session it was $100. What a deal! You get more for your money with Reniel as she takes care of you and ensures that you are truly happy with your end results. Her artistry speaks for itself. Lastly, I danced ALL NIGHT and even through all the sweat from dancing/partying it up, my hair and make up stayed flawless throughout the entire night! You cannot even tell in pictures after the ball that I had been getting down on the dance floor! I absolutely loved my first experience with Reniel and look forward to our next session. She is amazing & so talented! Go book now! https://www.styleseat.com/renielmaysaludez read more

Renielmay is extremely friendly, accommodating, and professional! Would recommend to anyone who's looking to get their make-up done! I went to Hawaii to attend a friend's wedding back in Feb, and I found Renielmay through yelp and eventually decided to book her service for makeup and hair through styleseat (https://www.styleseat.com/renielmay-makakilo-hi). Since I was traveling from overseas, I didn't know where I could find a place to get it done, and at the beginning I was a little skeptical. In the end, Renielmay proved to be very professional and timely in responding to emails, which was extremely helpful because I didn't have a U.S. number when I made the booking. Renielmay went out of her way to accommodate our schedule, and we ended up using her neighbor's space, which was very tidy and clean. Above all, the make-up and hair she did was superb, and I was very happy with the result! I would definitely book her again if I go back to Hawaii for another wedding or event. I hope she will set up a website soon so she can expand her make-up and hair business and share her talents with many others! read more

Renie was wonderful. She did my wedding makeup, and being an older, 50 year old bride, I wanted a simple, classic look that was natural, yet a little more glammed up than usual for the day. She nailed it, and the best part was that it lasted the whole day, even in the heat and humidity, and boy was it a humid day! She also came to my home in Makakilo, bright and early, easing the stress of the day. I highly recommend her and will certainly use her again for special events. She's even pleasant to deal with and enjoyable to talk to while getting ready. read more

Reniel May Beauty - I absolutely LOVED my hair and makeup! I almost didn't want to wash my face...ever haha! - Makeup Artists Near Me

I absolutely would recommend renielmay to everyone! She is prompt with your appointment time and so friendly from the start! I had a last minute dinner plan and contacted her. She responded promptly and then texted me to show her hair and make-up ideas I was going for. The whole time she was working her magic on me she kept the conversation going and she was so pleasant to talk to. Not once, was there any awkward silence and she always had my comfort as a top priority! What's better? It was in the comfort of my own home!! She took her time with my hair and make-up and when I changed my mind about the style of my hair she smiled and said "that's no problem! Let's see what else we can do!" She didn't make me feel like she was rushed and it truly shows in her work! I was so impressed with her work and just her overall work ethic that I know she will be the one I will always call on for her services! Her prices are worth it and you get more than what you've paid because you could truly see how passionate she is about her job! She seriously made me feel like we were old time friends just catching up the whole time and it made the time she was working on me go by so quickly! If you want a top notch professional who listens to your requests and does everything to deliver what you want...then book the appointment!! You totally won't be disappointed!! Thank you so much for everything, renielmay! You truly are wonderful at what you do!!! read more

Absolutely amazing!!! Reniel did an awesome job with everything for me and my maid of honor. I was in desperate need of hair and makeup for my wedding and she accommodated me quickly going above and beyond. She was always in contact with me and made sure that we got what we wanted with hair and makeup and was even able to come out to the venue where we were getting ready. She is also very easy to talk to. Highly recommended!!! Thank you Reniel so so much!!!! read more

I have used Reniel as my makeup artist/ hair stylist on now three different occasions (my wedding, my friend's wedding (referral), and my brother's wedding) -- and each and every single time I felt "100" and on point! My wedding was the first occasion and initially she was a little difficult to get a hold of, but once we finally made contact she was so easy to work with. Very responsive from then on out; I was able to send her emails of what I wanted since we weren't able to meet until the day of. Day of, she showed up early to our hotel room (my husband and I eloped) and was so friendly and easy to talk to. She listened to exactly what I wanted and I felt SO beautiful and just so confident. At the end of the night, I didn't want to wash my face! Lol. At my friends wedding, there were quite a few of us, so her team worked on me -- but same thing. Looked great, felt great. For my brother's wedding Reniel did the hair and makeup for myself, my mom and one of my sister's, and the hair for another sister of mine. Same thing... yet again, listened to exactly what I wanted and I looked and felt like a million bucks. My family also looked so beautiful, too! I would highly recommend Reniel. She is a professional, her prices are fair, and she does great work. :) read more
