Amazing Artist!

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!

All the stars + Extra, if I could!

If I could give May extra stars, I would. From the start, May was very responsive to my emails and questions. She made me feel very comfortable as I was planning my Hawai’i wedding on the mainland. She was also super accommodating when I scheduled some calls with her and made me feel supported throughout the whole experience. From planning to being on site, she kept in great communication with me, confirmed her availability, arrived on site early, checked in throughout the process, and helped out wherever she could. She is super talented and passionate about her job. May listened to my ideas and concerns for my hair and make up, then delivered on my vision. I really appreciated having her touch up my make up and hair throughout the hot day, too. May is very friendly, easy to converse with, and quickly made me feel like she was a close friend helping me on my special day. I am so thankful to have found and picked her as my HMUA. Would not have wanted it any other way. I can not thank you enough, May!

Patient and Kind

You’ve read many other reviews of what a great job May did for everyone. I want to speak to how patient and kind May was. And flexible. First it was only make up and hair for my mother and me as the bride. Then we added my sister in law. And then my girlfriend came to help me get dressed and wanted to get her hair done. Throughout all the add ona and changes requested, May was so patient and took it all in stride.
And of course she did a beautiful job. Everyone thought so too, not just me.
She’s the best. Book her. Don’t wait.
