    Thank you Faith & Beauty!

    Gemina and her team were truly a dream to work with and I cannot recommend them enough. I hired Gemina to help me with hair and makeup for four events for my wedding, and she did an excellent job. I don't typically wear a lot of makeup, and Gemina was really able to understand my vision for my HMUA and made me feel beautiful without being overly done. She is extremely professional and communicative, and showed up on time every day with a big smile on her face. Her team also made my mom and bridesmaids feel beautiful which was really important to me. Gemina is a wonderful and thoughtful human and I loved spending time with her. Working with Faith & Beauty was one of the best decisions I made in my wedding planning journey and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat if given the chance.

    Choose Faith & Beauty for your wedding glam!

    From the moment I met Gemina, we became fast friends. What was supposed to be an hour-long trial period turned into a 2.5 hour gossip, astrological reading, life vent session. I am forever grateful for Gemina and her team of women for making my big day so special. They all felt like they were part of my bridal party with how well everyone got along! We didn't need to start getting ready until 11am (unheard of!!) for 7 bridesmaids, a bride, and 2 moms ending promptly at 3:30 when the photographers arrived. It was the most efficient glam team I'd ever worked with, especially for a large group of women on a wedding day! Every single person was so happy with their final look, especially myself :) I'd never felt so beautiful - Gemina went above and beyond for me and for that, I can't thank her enough. To be able to balance the personalities, dynamics, and beauty expectations of that many women is a true skill and Gemina's team did it without hesitation. They are all professionals and exceptional at what they do.

    Natural beauty executed!

    Gemina and her team were fabulous! During my hair and makeup trial, Gemina really listened to my hair and makeup concerns. She used her experience to gauge what products would work best for my skin and hair. On wedding day, the team was prompt and was on schedule with getting the bridal party's hair and makeup done. It felt like the Faith and Beauty Hawaii team were part of our bridal party since our conversations were fun gossip and laughs. I got the natural and simple hair and makeup look that I was looking for and I felt comfortable in my own skin. My makeup and hair held to the Hawaii heat and humidity without a smudge or curl fallout. It was easy to communicate with Faith and Beauty Hawaii; Gemina will personally call or text you if need be. If I ever need future hair and makeup service, I will definitely contact Faith and Beauty Hawaii again!

    Hair & make-up with Gemina

    Gemina is a true hair & make-up artist! I got a lot of compliments on my hair & make-up at my wedding day and afterward. She was more than a customer service vendor, she is caring and tries to get to know you as a person to make the wedding day experience less stressful and more confident! I have already made some recommendations to anyone who asks for fantastic hair & make-up.

    Faith & Beauty FTW!

    The team over at Faith & Beauty are literally THE BEST! One of the most important vendors to book is your hair and makeup team and so after getting engaged, i knew i had to start researching. Living up on the mainland, i had one shot to do trial runs with a few companies. Two of my cousins that are local both recommended Gemina and her team and boy were they right! While the other two i tested with did perfectly good work, Gemina's came off both flawlessly AND natural! She made me look and feel glam but not too heavy! My makeup for my trial, engagement photos and wedding turned out perfectly! In fact after my trial, we went to brunch and i asked my future FIL to help take a pic in front of the Christmas tree - he kinda brushed me off b/c he didn't even recognize me!!! and when he finally realized, he was soooo complimentary saying i looked so beautiful! hahah.

    On the day of the wedding, Gemina, Faith and Rachel, came on time and full of energy to get the day started! It was like a party with your girlfriends! We had the hawaiian jams on and people were singing to the fish and the poi while our hair and makeup were being set. One of my bridesmaids even remarked she felt like she looked like she was on the cover of vogue magazine!!! Our hair and makeup held up the ENTIRE day from 9am thru past midnight!!! Considering it was high 80s with tons of humidity and trust me, we were sweating during pre-ceremony pictures, it was a miracle we still looked perfect!!!

    If you want natural glam with a laid back vibe, you want to book Faith and Beauty!! You don't need headaches or worry, you want fun and happiness to start off your wedding the right way!!!

    Professional/Flexible/Wonderful

    Gemina and her team was wonderful to work with. I wasn't sure of how my wedding look will be and Gemina gently guided me through the process. First, lets talk about her commitment, working on her bday because it was the only day she could fit me in while I was on the island for the trial run in June, before my wedding in October. Second, on my wedding day, Gemina and her team makes us feel special, kindly reminded our crazy bridesmaid to not ruin their masterpiece by running around in the sun, and gently nudged us to "clean up" for photography! We were a hot mess on my beautiful day but Gemina calmly navigate through it. We needed additional services during the wedding plan AND up to the day of the wedding, however, her team manages to pull it off with make up/hair for 9 people, 2 on the wedding day!! Lastly, lets talk about flexibility. I had a second shoot after my wedding day and somehow forgot to inform Gemina of the change in date. The afternoon before my shoot I called G to go through the appointment (it was a Sunday!) and she somehow called everyone on her roster and found a hair/make up artist to fill in. My wedding was a dream and our pictures were magical and they look like us (an enhanced version of us!). Thanks babe, my Gemini's spirit sister, for putting up with the craziness and for being amazing!!!!!

    I highly recommend Gemina to help be part of your special day. You will not disappoint

    Gemina is the best!

    Gemina was so wonderful to work with and did an incredible job on hair and makeup both for me and my mom. She is such a wonderful person and really listened to what both mom and I wanted (very different looks mom likes the drama I love simple) and executed both looks perfectly. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day. Gemina and her assistant Jessica are easy to get ahold of in the planning period and adjusted my contract quickly and graciously when I changed my mind and decided to add some services. Gemina was perfectly on time on the big day and finished just when we agreed she would. I highly recommend!

    Look no Further! Really

    We contracted Faith & Beauty for my June 1st wedding. Hair and makeup for Bride and Mother of the Groom.

    Faith and Beauty is exactly what they provide!

    Gemina is like a friend you say "we should get together more often". I felt like I knew her instantly. Wonderful energy and personality.
    The fundamentals: fantastic communication for scheduling and during my services. She arrived exactly on time. Her prices for the extremely quality service cannot be beat.
    The service: what a radiant and genuine soul. She makes people look like the best versions of themselves. She took her time but her skill set was so efficient. My makeup lasted so well, I felt as beautiful as I had in years, but felt like ME.
    Above and beyond- Gemina couldn't have been more patient and kind to us. She even gave a touch up kit to stay beautiful all day. I feel like she was a long lost friend. I've already recommended her to other friends and I personally would contact only her for future events- no need to look elsewhere!
    Gemina, thank you so very much for being there for us. I wish you all the success in the future and you are my GO TO GLAM GIRL!

    Faith & Beauty is AMAZING!

    When COVID hit my husband and I decided to cancel our Hawaii wedding. On my trip home I scheduled to have family photos taken. I decided at the last minute that I needed hair and makeup and Gemina was so kind to let me us my credit. She took time on her day off to get me all glammed. I am so appreciative of all that she has done. I have been a part of a couple weddings where Gemina did my hair and makeup, you will not be disappointed. She ALWAYS does an amazing job.

    Highly Recommend - Amazing!

    Gemina’s work, professionalism, and her just as a person is amazing! I booked Gemina for our engagement shoot, our wedding shower and of course our wedding. I was not disappointed on any occasion! Also, two of my sister-in-law’s have used Gemina for their wedding and we all have nothing but great things to say about her and her work.

    Due to covid, things were changed around so many times but Gemina was such a team player and made the process seamless and stress free! She even hit an obstacle the morning of the wedding, but even that was stress for me because all she did was call me to inform me of the change and that the problem was already resolved and still everything was done on time. She also makes the process fun, and her and her assistant fit right in, like family! She takes pride in her work and truly makes you feel beautiful! Make-up and hair stayed all day which was awesome! Don’t look any further, just hire her! You won’t regret it!

    Best Hair & Makeup Artist! Highly Recommend!

    Faith & Beauty and Gemina Chong helped make our special day even better. Choosing the right makeup artist is important because this is the day you get the most photos taken in your entire life! Gemina is versatile and really good at enhancing natural features. I did a hair and makeup trial with her before my wedding and knew she was the one. I'm so happy I went with her! I felt so beautiful and confident on our big day! Not only is Gemina very talented, she is such a great person to be around. I think she's the best and I highly recommend her!

    Absoluelty Amazing!!

    Gemina was wonderful and so friendly! From the first day I contacted her all the way up to the day of the wedding all communication was quick and easy. She and her team made sure questions or concerns were answered with ease. The trial was great; I only went in with various different ideas I had pulled off of pinterest for both my hair and makeup and Gemina was able to create a look that was perfect for me from my random ideas. Getting ready on the wedding day went smoothly and the looks for me and the entire wedding party was amazing and absolutely beautiful.

    Thank you SO much for trusting us Keisha it was such a fun day=) I hope everything went beautifully after we left. God bless!

    You absolutely need to hire Gemina!! I cannot say ENOUGH wonderful things about her and her team!! There is a reason Faith & Beauty has so many awesome reviews, they definitely earned every one of them! Gemina and her team are absolutely amazing. We hired them for our destination wedding in Hawaii. I was so beyond nervous about hiring a hair and makeup artist without getting to meet them in person first. It was such a gamble! Their work would be in our wedding photos and video forever!! However, I was so happy when I met Gemina! She was so cool, calm, and down to Earth. She was just so beyond easy to work with. And oh my gosh does she KNOW how to do hair and makeup!!!! She is amazingly talented! I showed her a couple of pictures of what I was thinking and she went above and beyond anything I could have ever have asked for! I felt absolutely amazing! A few of the bridesmaids and moms got theirs done as well, and they ALL looked stunning! I can't thank Gemina and her team enough!!

    What can I say...Gemina is like a fairy godmother with a makeup palette and an airbrush! Gemina and her assistant did our hair and makeup for my wedding last month. I will let my before and after photo as well as the photo of my hair do the talking. She is very, very good with listening to what the bride wants (trust me, I am crazy picky but indecisive) and I trusted her and her skills. She also has a great personality and will make you feel at ease (if not laughing the whole time)! She makes you look like a more beautiful, radiant, and glowing self without overdoing the makeup and making you look fake. Brides: book Gemina if you want that awesome, bridal, I'm getting married-kind of look. You and your pictures/video won't regret it ;)

    Gemina is the best makeup on Oahu! She is so sweet and professional, but also makes you feel like family. We had so much in common but come from different parts of the world. Gemina and her assistant did our hair and makeup for my wedding in January and the work is flawless. I had a total of 5 bridesmaids plus myself. She was on time, and assured me the work would be done fast. I love her airbrush technique that lasted well throughout the night with all the humidity in Hawaii. My hair was half up half down and lasted throughout the night, and well into the next day. All my maids chose to do updo's and theirs was perfect the next day as well. I did come out for a trial run in August and I'm glad I did because it made it less worrisome for myself and my 'maids BUT it wasn't necessary. The photos don't lie. I originally found Gemina through instagram and then followed up through Yelp and theknot

    We are the RUBIOs and tied the knot on July 22nd, 2017. We hired Gemina from Faith and Beauty to do hair and makeup for the Bride and bridal party that included 5 Maids and 1 Flower girl. We first saw her at a wedding expo at NBC and hired her immediately. We also trailed H&M ahead of time and used that session for an engagement shoot. We love Gemina as a MUA, she does fantastic work! For hair, she incorporated a halo hairpiece and styled my wedding hair beautifully. The size of our wedding party required Gemina and a second MUA, they both did amazing work! My maids loved both their hair and makeup. Our flower girl also enjoyed her experience. We also hired Gemina to cover a small tattoo over the brides shoulder; coverage was awesome and looked flawless in our wedding photos. As the bride I was very happy with the results. Faith and Beauty was prompt the morning of my wedding day. My planner was able to provide the details of my location and Gemina had no trouble finding the bridal party at Turtle Bay Resort. Gemina completed the entire bridal party on schedule and in time for photo and video. She was also a team player allowing video and photo to capture candid's of applying makeup and putting on the veil. I would love to hire her again to do my hair and makeup for a future special event!

    Words can not describe how impressed I was with Gemina Chong from Faith & Beauty.. she did makeup and hair for my nanna who is 84years, makeup on my mother and my hair and makeup.. Just take a look at the photos they say it all. She listened to everybody that I told her I wanted and went above and beyond for my special day! It was amazing.. I can not recommend her enough .. Everybody at my wedding was so impressed

    Kind regards,

    Mrs Lee Champion

    Gemina did my hair and makeup for my engagement photos and my wedding, and also styled my 4 bridesmaids' hair. She did such a great job, exactly the looks I wanted! My makeup was very natural but still photographed extremely well. The hairstyles she gave my bridal party and I also went along with the more casual, romantic look I was going for, but also lasted long and looked amazing. Her prices were super reasonable and I'm very satisfied with the value she provided. Would definitely recommend!
