I have had Dorys do two of my family weddings. She is very good at what she does and does her job in a very timely manner. The price is a little expensive but worth the money for the piece of mind that hair and makeup is taken care of. I would recommend Dorys to my friends!

I hired Maleana to style my bridal party. Everyone looked beautiful! Since our wedding day was really long, we got the airbrush makeup and it was totally worth it. The airbrush makeup feels so light and looks really natural. Maleana was also accommodating when we asked them to make chages to hair/makeup styles that we were not happy with. For example, I went in for a trial session and wasn't completely comfortable with how my hair turned out. I talked with Dorys the day before the wedding, we went over her notes, I explained what I wanted, she made a couple of adjustments and everything turned out perfectly the day of the wedding. Thank you, Maleana!!

I was originally referred to Leslie Fair, but she was not available on my wedding date, and suggested that I tried Dorys, and I have to thank Leslie for introducing me to Dorys and her senior stylist Zairah! I planned my destination wedding from Los Angeles, and unlike many of the Hawaii vendors, Dorys responded right away, she was professional from the very beginning. I would recommend signing up for a trial run prior to the wedding, and bring photos of how you would like your make up/hair done. This picky bride has never been happy with any up-dos in the past, but Dorys passed the test. My makeup looked amazing, natural but not caked on, perfect for the humid Hawaiian weather. There was light rain right at the beginning of our ceremony, and I also got emotional during the ceremony, and thought for sure I had mascara running down my face and the hair was not going to hold up. Amazingly, everything held up, and I looked great till the end of the night. Thank you Dorys and Zairah for our amazing looking bridal party!!!

Dorys w/ Maleana cosmetics was wonderful to work with! She is a very talented professional and was flexible to work with me to find my perfect look, from a hairstyle change to a skintone change; I had gotten quite tan since our trial run, but she took it in stride and adjusted the makeup colors beautifully! She did my hair and makeup, three of my bridesmaids, and both moms, with the help of an assistant. Everyone was ecstatic with their look. I chose to do airbrushing and lashes, and everything stayed put the entire time, through my crying during pretty much the entire ceremony, to crying during toasts, to crying through the first dance, and then sweating like no other on the dance floor :) My hair stayed in place too, which is quite a feat considering the wind that day! I couldn't be happier with her services!

Doris was great. She made all of us especially me beautiful. Doris and staff are very flexible and our make up look very flawless but so light we felt we didn't even had one on. Awesome Work!

I have never professionally paid to get my hair & makeup done before so I wasn't sure what to expect. I'm pretty cheap when it comes to spending money on myself so at first I felt the money I paid for myself & 3 others was high. I did not get many quotes though so I'm not sure what to compare it to. But when the day came & my hair & makeup was done, I felt absolutely gorgeous & for that it's priceless. Doris was my stylist & she did an amazing job! I would definitely use her again if I need her services in Honolulu & wouldn't think twice about it!

Dorys and Maleana Cosmetics are the best! Most of my bridesmaids don't like to wear too much make-up and they felt comfortable the whole day. They even gave us straws so we didn't mess up our lipgloss.

Dorys and her assistant did an excellent job on our hair and makeup for my wedding day.

She showed up on time and though I was very distracted with guests arriving, she was able to finish all of our hair and makeup on schedule.

They did an amazing job with the makeup. Of course it started to rain during my ceremony (!). I was so worried my makeup would melt. Through the rain, the heat in Hawaii, and my tears on my wedding day, my makeup stayed put. I also loved the individual false lashes she applied. Each of the pieces stayed put all night long.

My bridesmaid also looked amazing on our wedding day.

Thank you so much Dorys!

I could not ask for more!!!! Dorys was great!!!! She made me look and feel like a movie star. She was very professional but at the same time warm and friendly. She was exactly on time and she was very calm while too many things were going on and stressing me out, which calmed me down. Her service exceeded all of my expectations.

I would not recommend Maleana because they are over priced. They charge for every little thing. My friend (the bride) frantically called me two weeks prior to the wedding needing to find a stylist to do her hair and make-up including the rest of the bridal party. Maleana was one of the few companies still avaiable, I am sure, in part because they are quite pricey. The bride had no choice, but to go with them. In addition to being compensated for styling the bride and bridal party these are the additional charges they charge: $80 for an additional stylist to come on site, $50 to take a bottle of make-up and a brush in an elevator up two floors to apply make-up to the groom. I thought that was unbelievable to charge a separate location fee to go up and down an elevator and $25 each stylist to valet (they could have parked in the parking structure for a fraction of the price). I would not be bothered by the pricing if I felt the quality of work was worth it. The stylist seemed to be great with hair, but not as great with make-up.
MALEANA COSMETICS responded with the following comments:
Aloha Megan,
thanks for writing this review and we extremely apologize for the inconvenience we have caused you. We had made some changes thanks to your feedback. We waved the second setup fee if the rooms are within the same hotel or tower. And we automatically upgrade a booking with a complimentary second senior stylist if there is at least 4 Makeup & Hair styling or 7 Makeup or Hair styling. As for the location fee we always try our best to work with the hotels valet parking rates. If you ever decide to try us again, please let us know as I would enjoy saying hello in person and treat you for a complimentary makeup application. Either way, thanks for trying Maleana Cosmetics in the first place and thanks for helping make us better.

Best wishes

Doris Foltin-Jube

The makeup was wonderful, but I wasn't really digging the hair. They literally stuck the flowers into my bridal parties hair and bobby pinned it to stay. My maid of honor had to get her hair redone because the stylist for some reason couldn't get the photo right.

The stylists were very talented but time was an issue. One of them was right on time, very quick and able to squeeze in someone extra for hair and makeup. On the other hand, the other stylist ran behind the proposed schedule and as the bride I didn't get the full amount of time, as we agreed. As a result, the curls on one side of my head looked different from the curls on the other side. This was a big disappointment. If you go with this vendor ask them to show up extra early and be aggressive about keeping them on the clock.

Although this ended up being more expensive than I anticipated, it was worth every penny. Dorys is amazing, and everyone had compliments at the wedding, including my husband's back-handed compliment (men!) when he told me that he wasn't expecting me to be so beautiful! When budgeting, be sure to consider that if Dorys is doing your make-up on location, there is a location fee as well as a travel fee, and if she is bringing an assistant, you are expected to tip 15% of the total bill for the assistant.

Dorys and her assistant did a wonderful job on the hair and makeup for me, my maid of honor, my mom and all my sisters. Everyone looked so beautiful. Also, her makeup still lasted through a lot crying; it didn't smear or anything. I highly recommend hiring her.
