Need Hawaii Destination Hair/Make-Up Vendor Suggestions!

Aloha,

I will be coming to Oahu to get married at the end of May.  Being that I am from Pennsylvania, I am looking for some recommendations on places to use for hair and make-up.  Ideally, they would come to me.

Also, anyone who has had a destination wedding in Hawaii - how did you consult with the person doing your hair and make-up prior to the day?  We are getting in to Oahu late on a Thursday and getting married Saturday.  With so much to do on Friday, I don't know if I'll have time for a face-to-face consult.

Any advice would help!

Thanks,
Kristy

  • Aloha Kristy!

    My fiance and I are getting married in Hawaii in June. We will be married on the island of Kauai. I too am planning to have my hair and makeup done professionally.

    My fiance and I hired a wedding coordinator to assist us with locating vendors that are of high quality service. She sent us links to multiple vendors website so that we can see their work- hair and makeup designs. From that I was able to choose who would be right for me. Their styles varied quite a bit. I suggest checking out vendors websites in addition to their examples on facebook. If they do not have an abundance of photos posted as examples, steer clear! From the photos, get ideas about what you like the most. Print out pictures and save them to your computer. Once you decide on an artist, send him or her your photos via email, then schedule a conference call to discuss them to make sure that they can accommodate your choices. Be sure to bring the printed photos with you the day of (I agree, you will not have the time to schedule a trial run). These people are charging more than enough to be able to take the time to chat with you so you can make a well informed decision! Communication is key when planning a destination wedding! I am from NY but now living in Texas with my fiance, so I understand! :)

    Best of luck!

    Mahalo!
