Hire them!!

Grace and her team were an absolute dream to work with, and I genuinely have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day.

As a former dancer and NFL cheerleader, I’m very familiar with full glam makeup, but I really wanted something that felt polished and elevated *without* looking like game day makeup. I also wanted a balance between Eastern and Western beauty styles, which can be hard to nail — and Grace absolutely nailed it. I still felt like myself, just the best version.

She was also amazing about skin and hair prep, which was so important for our Hawaii wedding environment. Everything held up beautifully through humidity, heat, a very long day (and even a late night dip in the pool).

After my trial I shared some feedback (I told you I'm picky), and Grace accepted everything so graciously and thoughtfully -- it made me feel so heard and taken care of throughout the process.

Beyond my own glam, she made both my mom and mother-in-law look absolutely gorgeous. They were both nervous because they don’t normally wear heavier makeup, and Grace struck the perfect balance of making them feel polished, confident, and still like themselves.

She and her team were also unbelievably sweet throughout the morning — even helping keep my flower girl entertained while she ran around our glam room. And honestly, having Grace be the first person I sat down with on the wedding morning totally set the tone for the day. She brought such calm, kind, warm energy that immediately put me at ease.

Cannot recommend Grace and Indigo Grace enough -- hire them now!

Thank you Indigo Grace Artistry!

Our hair and makeup team was absolutely incredible! From the moment they arrived, they brought such a calm, professional, and positive energy that truly set the tone for the entire wedding day. They were incredibly timely, organized, and made the whole morning feel seamless and stress-free.
Not only are they so talented, but they also made every single one of us feel beautiful, confident, and completely taken care of. Everyone’s hair and makeup turned out flawlessly, and somehow still felt so natural and true to each person.
We are so grateful for their kindness, professionalism, and amazing work. They played such a huge role in making the day feel relaxed, fun, and special, and we could not have asked for a better team!

Grace Was Truly My Wedding Day Lifesaver — Talented, Professional & Wonderful to Work With!

Grace with Indigo Grace Artistry was absolutely amazing to work with. If you are getting married on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi and looking for a talented, professional, and calming bridal hair and makeup artist, I highly recommend her.

Grace did my hair and makeup for our destination wedding on February 5, 2026, and she completely brought my bridal vision to life. She came the day before for a trial, which gave me so much confidence going into the wedding day.

On the morning of the wedding, Grace came directly to our rental condo to get me ready and stayed with me throughout the day — from getting ready, to our church ceremony, and then to the Hilton Waikoloa for our sunset ceremony and reception. With the heat, wind, and ocean breeze on the Big Island, it was incredibly reassuring knowing she was there for touch-ups if needed. She was truly “my girl” all day.

Grace is not only incredibly talented, but also warm, easygoing, and calming — exactly the energy you want around you on your wedding day. She was recommended to us by our photographer Josh Fletcher with Fletch Photography, and it truly felt like we had a dream team of vendors who worked seamlessly together.

Her portfolio speaks for itself, and I am so grateful she was part of our wedding day. I would recommend Grace to any bride getting married on the Big Island.

Absolutely loved my hair and make up! Would 100% recommend.

Grace did my hair and make up for my elopement wedding on Feb 3rd 2026. Would 100% recommend. She made me feel so relaxed and comfortable, she was so lovely to chat too. She listened to my requests and made me look and feel beautiful. The hair and make up stayed perfect. Everything was very easy from booking, to prep, to arrival at our hotel. Thank you!!

Best Hair And Makeup Team

Gracia was amazing to work with for my wedding hair and makeup! I sent her so many inspo photos (and even changed my mind a few times), and she was always the sweetest, going along with everything I asked and making me feel completely comfortable. She helped me decide on the perfect look — a low bun for the ceremony and then taking my hair down for the reception — and I couldn’t have been happier with the result. My makeup was absolutely beautiful, so natural and not over the top, and truly made me feel like the best version of myself. I’m so grateful to her for making me feel so confident and radiant on such an important day!

Wedding day hair & makeup

Indigo Grace Industry did an AMAZING job with hair & makeup for me and my bridal party! They turned our faces and mops of hair into natural works of art. The hair and makeup also stayed all day through the hot sun and humidity! They helped with the flower girls as well and were very patient and still managed to do a fantastic job on the moving children! If you want to look and feel great on your special day, these are your people!

Professional and skilled artists

We loved working with the Indigo Grace team! Three things stood out for me. 1) Clear and quick communication: They responded to each of my inquiries and emails quickly and clearly! I never felt like I was waiting to hear a response. 2) Professional and prompt: Both our hair stylists arrived on-time (or early!). They were incredibly efficient, and moved through each hair style quickly (but not in a way that felt rushed whatsoever). I get anxious about staying on timeline, and there was never a question that we would be following the set timeline). 3) Skilled artists: Everyone looked beautiful! For my hair, I wanted a specific updo with a combination of the front of one photo and the back of another. My stylist completed my hair (which looked gorgeous) and said: "Something is bothering me. I know I can fix it." She started from scratch, not settling ever for good enough. I REALLY appreciated this level of commitment! My hair stayed all night and looked beautiful post dance floor and silent disco!

Note when reviewing photos: We only did hair with Indigo Grace; bride and bridesmaids did their own makeup.

Flawless Makeup & Hair – An Incredible Experience!

Grace from Indigo Grace Artistry was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding! Over two days, she did both my makeup and hair three times— for my pre-wedding event, wedding ceremony, and reception— and each look was exactly as I had envisioned, if not better. I wanted a natural, no-makeup look, and she absolutely nailed it! My hair was styled beautifully each time—structured but never stiff, with natural movement and without being weighed down by excessive product. It held its shape effortlessly while still feeling soft and touchable.

Beyond her incredible talent, Grace was kind, patient, and open to adjustments (though barely any were needed). Her team was equally fantastic, helping my bridal party with grace and flexibility, even as our big Indian wedding ran behind schedule and was, at times, a bit chaotic. They managed their time perfectly, adapting seamlessly and ensuring everything flowed smoothly.

Makeup and hair can truly make or break an event, and Grace made me feel both beautiful and comfortable throughout the entire process. She was not only professional but also a calming and positive presence—exactly what every bride needs on such a special day.

I cannot thank you enough, Grace! I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. And if I ever find myself in Kona again in need of makeup and hair services, she will be my first call!

Bridal Makeup

Indigo Grace was fantastic! The artists at Indigo Grace did my wedding hair and makeup, which I absolutely loved. I had never had my makeup done professionally and was nervous about how it would turn out, but I was in love! I loved my makeup so much I actually went back for fun to have it done again just to enjoy on my honeymoon! 10/10 recommend. My mother and sister also loved their service. Thank you again Indigo Grace!!💕💕💕 pictured below is my wedding day makeup/hair (Grace) and the honeymoon makeup (Chelsea).

Grace is the only beauty person I trust to send my brides to. She communicates quickly, and is always there, on time, and delivers stunning results for my brides and their bridal party. Her makeup is always exactly what they want, and her team of hairdressers deliver equally great work. Highly recommended.
