I had the best bridal experience! Tradewind Beauty was absolutely incredible! We had a destination wedding and didn’t get to meet in person beforehand, but that was no problem at all—they made everything so easy and stress-free. Their team is professional, attentive, and truly listens to what you want. A special shoutout to Ella—she was amazing and went above and beyond to make our day feel extra special. Highly recommend Tradewind Beauty to any couple looking for a talented and reliable beauty team for their big day!

Ella was wonderful and very accommodating to our needs. She is a treasure.

I cannot recommend Ella enough! She worked her magic on my wedding day, and I felt absolutely beautiful and flawless from start to finish. Ella gave me the mermaid hair of my dreams, and I was blown away by how stunning I looked. Even with the humidity of Waikiki in June, my makeup stayed flawless all day, my face didn’t melt at all, and my eyelashes were intact the entire time! Plus, my naturally curly hair didn’t frizz!!! Which is HUGE for me; she truly knows how to work with different hair types. Beyond her incredible talent, Ella was a calming presence when I was feeling overwhelmed. She really knows how to make a bride feel at ease, which made such a difference on my big day. As someone who tends to be a bit of a nitpicker, I was left speechless by her work—no small feat! If you’re a bride in the Waikiki area, do yourself a favor and hire Ella. You won’t regret it!

I had the absolute honor and privilege of having Ella as my hair and makeup artist for my wedding! I was pretty nervous about getting my hair and makeup done after a not-so-ideal trial I did elsewhere, but from the moment Ella walked in, I was completely at home with her, it felt like we’d known each other forever. She was hands down the best vendor I worked with for my wedding.

First off, her work is stunning. If she's the one doing your hair or makeup, you'll be getting compliments all night. But what really stood out was how warm and welcoming she was. Ella made sure I felt super comfortable and really listened to what I wanted, even down to the minor details of my makeup. She has this incredible ability to connect with people and make them feel special.

On my wedding day, Ella went above and beyond. A family friend who’s going through chemo texted us about her hair being a mess. Even though Ella already had a full schedule with 7 or 8 ladies, she told us to bring our aunty over and she’d fix her hair for free. That level of kindness and selflessness made me and my family tear up with gratitude.

Ella helped me get ready for one of the biggest days of my life and also made my mother-in-law feel at ease for her best friend’s funeral. In both situations, she made us feel beautiful and cared for.

If you need a hair and makeup artist, go with Ella. She’s incredibly talented and such a kind-hearted person. You won’t regret it!

I can’t say enough about Ella. She is so professional, personable, talented, responsive, prompt, comfortable, and kind. I’ve had Ella do my hair and make up for 2 very special events that I will remember for lifetime. I felt confident and beautiful in my own skin. I enjoyed getting to know her kind heart as well as enjoyed the ease of having her come to my home to get me ready. She is meticulous about hygiene and takes extra measures to keep the products clean for each client. She also gave me a little touch up kit for my lips and tears at the event. You will not be disappointed on any level with her service!

Meeting Ella on my wedding day was a breath of fresh air. Instantly, she made me feel at ease, like I was with a trusted friend who just happened to be exceptional at makeup and hairstyling. Her down-to-earth and approachable demeanor set a relaxed and enjoyable tone for the entire experience from the very beginning.

From the moment I met her, Ella had this incredible knack for making me feel instantly at ease, almost like I was catching up with a longtime friend who just happens to be incredible at makeup and hairstyling.

During our session together, she really took the time to listen attentively to what I envisioned for both my makeup and hairstyle. What impressed me most was how she effortlessly balanced offering her expert advice with respecting my preferences—it never felt like she was just going through the motions. Her insights into which products would complement my skin type and bring out the look I wanted were spot on.

Ella's hairstyling skills were equally impressive. She created a hairstyle that perfectly complemented my features and wedding dress, and what amazed me the most was how well it lasted throughout the entire day. My hair stayed beautifully styled from the ceremony through to the evening reception, thanks to Ella's expertise.

Throughout the process, Ella remained completely focused on perfecting every detail of my makeup and hair. It was evident that she takes immense pride in her work and genuinely cares about ensuring her clients feel their absolute best.

By the end of our session, I not only felt beautiful but I also felt incredibly grateful for having spent time with someone who not only understood my vision but also genuinely cared about making me feel comfortable and confident on such an important day. Ella's unique ability to seamlessly blend top-notch skills with a friendly and professional demeanor is truly what sets her apart. She was an irreplaceable part of my wedding day, and I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a talented and caring makeup artist and hairstylist.

While weddings are often nerve-wracking, Ella truly made the day so much easier with her support, professionalism, and kindness. Choosing Ella was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. Her talent and passion are unmatched, and I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a skilled artist who genuinely cares about making your wedding day as perfect as possible. Thank you, Ella, for making me feel like the most beautiful bride and for being a part of my unforgettable day!
