About this vendor

May has received the “WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Awards” every year for 13 years in a row.

On December 7th,2022, Miss United States was in Honolulu for the Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade in Waikiki to honor our veterans, their familes&Pearl Harbor survivors. I am honored that Lily asked me to help her with makeup & hair. She is a remarkable woman. As a country we are lucky to have such a great ambassador donating her time to so many great causes.

May has been doing bridal makeup & hair industry for over 19 years including American, Japanese, Korean, Indian, Chinese traditional wedding and ect.

I take the time to get to know each bride's style and preferences and then creates a look that enchances their natural beauty. I am all about making sure that the bride feels comfortable and confident on her big day.

May is simply the best!

I cannot say enough incredible things about our wedding stylist, May. From the very beginning, her warmth, talent and attention to detail was evident. She made the entire process feel effortless and calm.

Not only did she create the most beautiful look for me, but she also styled our daughters’ hair with such care. Both of them felt so special and confident.

If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond and make you feel truly beautiful—she is the one.

Wedding hair and make up

May was absolutely amazing! The second she emailed me she made me feel more comfortable with timing for the wedding ceremony. She arrived right on time and got to it. She started with my sister in law who wasn’t sure on a look for her hair but May did her thing and her makeup and hair both looked absolutely stunning. She then did my sister and duplicated the picture my sister had showed her! It looked awesome! She started my hair and make up right on schedule with minutes to spare! She was so sweet and kind which made the whole experience perfect and helped set the a good vibe for the wedding day!!

May is Fantastic

May is wonderful! She came to my hotel room to do my hair and makeup for my wedding. She was on time and spent two solid hours making me beautiful! I brought my own lashes and hairpiece and she knew just what to do. My hair even stayed in place in the wind at out beach wedding. If you get a chance to hire her, do it! You will be beautiful for your big day 🥰

Book may you wont regret it!

May and her team were so amazing. As a first time bride I was not sure what to expect, but they blew every expectation out of the water nevertheless! They did in total 5 women, including myself- both hair and makeup. We spent the entire morning talking story and laughing; they could not have made my wedding day more perfect. They’re affordable, personable, and amazing people who made us into real life princesses! BOOK WITH THEM!!
