I live in San Diego, and was getting married in Maui…one of my biggest dilemma was how can I possibly find THE RIGHT hair and makeup artist, and trust that the artist can do what I want for me and my bridal party.
Well I was relentless, after numerous searches online, most of which almost looked identical and hopeless. I finally came across one website called Maui Wedding Network. In it featured Bridal Hair on Maui by Karine. I immediately selected the link and low and behold it not only had exquisite bridal photos, she had PAGES and PAGES of all the brides she’s styled. From before and after photos, bridal party photos, to testimonials…Karine Cumming’s portfolio was utterly filled with more than enough gallery photos to guide a
Bride-to-be in need of professional assistance.
From the moment we exchanged emails and started speaking to each other, I was sold even before we had our trial day, which was two days before the wedding. Months before the wedding, she would call me just to check up on me, asking if I needed anything else, other than hair/makeup (flowers, other vendors, rehearsal dinner, you name it, she was willing to help in any way she can). She knew everyone…the Chef at our reception (The Plantation House Restaurant) is her neighbor! Without a doubt, I placed a lot of faith in her talent and skills.
The day we finally met was trial day at her studio. One of my bridesmaids (Dawn) came with me, since she was also getting made up by Karine on the wedding day. We all immediately hit it off. I was SO thankful and relieved that Karine was super talented. Dawn and I felt like we knew her all along. And let me point out what’s different and unique about Karine…I’m sure most of you ladies have done trials elsewhere and typically are aware in that trial is just that, a trial! So it won’t look exactly what it’s supposed to on the day of, but close enough. Well this is not the case with Karine. She was very detail oriented and she made sure what I wanted both for hair and makeup were exactly what I envisioned. She was precise to the very littlest loops pinned in my hair, the shades of shadows used on my eye lids, to the fresh gardenia from her own garden used as an accessory on my hair. We were wowed by her meticulousness…even more so, by how much she made us feel at home!
On the wedding day, Karine and Cherie (one of her talented artists) came to my hotel room, ready to prim myself, both moms of the bride and groom, and three bridesmaids. They made the process seamless and effortless, and most importantly, kept everyone calm and on time.
Karine was one of the most caring vendors I’ve ever worked with, hands down! Even after styling everyone, she was taking pictures and was so proud of me, like a sister would be. Karine’s truly a genuine person. I’m blessed that I’ve made a new friend in the process.
Mahalo for your awesome spirit and for making me feel beautiful on one of the most important days of my life.
Karine NO KA OI!!!
Love,

User1436903 Sent on 11/13/2013Karine did an amazing job , we had 9 ladies and 2 flower girls. Everyone had pics and a vision of what they wanted. Karine made it happen. Everyone looked natural and elegant, not trashy. All the ladies were happy with their hair and make up including the moms. Yay !, my mom so loves you karine. Thanks a million
User827940 Sent on 06/14/2012I thought that Karine did an amazing job on my hair and makeup. I was a bit worried as I didn't have a practice so didn't know how everything was going to turn out. My hair ended up being EXACTLY how I had wanted it and my makeup was even better than I had imagined. She was extremely easy and professional to deal with, which is perfect when you are planning a wedding from abroad. It was quite expensive (though no more expensive than other hair and makeup places in Maui) but I have to say that I thought it was worth every penny to look the way I wanted on my wedding day. Plus all my bridemaids and my mother were extremely happy with their hair and makeup which was a bonus. *HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!*
