We talked and laughed the whole time, and she really listened to what I wanted for my hair color and cut. I'm so happy with how my hair turned out -- I've gotten so many compliments! They even offered me a glass of wine and took my picture after she finished -- such a nice touch. This is the salon experience I've always wanted Kudos to Carrie and the entire Salon 253 team.

From booking the appointment to paying for my service, everything was spectacular and easy! I went in to see Bella to get a cut and toner. My other half went to see Chloe for a wash and scalp detox. I had a little bit of trouble booking online but when I called the salon, everyone was super friendly and really accommodating. Bella was super amazing and was easy to talk to which made the appointment a breeze. The salon is very aesthetically pleasing and really professional. Looking forward to coming back again!

The MAB team did a phenomenal job making all my bridesmaids, the moms and the bride look and feel…read moreso pretty. The MAB team was professional yet down to earth. We had laughs smiles the whole morning making a what can be a stressful morning to instead, be filled with aloha vibes. These exceptional and talented ladies know exactly what they're doing which takes away from the stress on your special day. Each one of them has their own unique story as to how they landed at the island from previously working at the MAC counter in California to vacationing once and never wanting to leave the island or meeting their husband on the island but the common theme is their love for the island and the love of make up and hair which showed in their work. I've truly enjoyed this team immensely. The team really make sure you are feeling 100% before you leave to the venue, fixing last minute bobby-pin to changing the color of your lipstick completely because you didn't feel . Not to mention, they also took care of my mom and my MIL far after I left, making sure they're loving their make over as well. My wedding was back in Sept of 2022 and for me to now write a review shows how much of an impact they've made in my special day. I told them three things- I didn't want my ear to be sticking out, I didn't want my hair blowing in my face or sticking on me from the humidity and I'm very particular with the shape of my eyebrows. I spent days on Pinterest looking at different hair styles on how to hide my ear but the team took my inspo pictures and did their own thing, making it better than I can imagine. For any bride that's stressing out on finding the perfect team to do your hair and makeup, trust me when I say you can't go wrong with the MAB team. They really go above and beyond to do their part in making you look and feel fab as well as your whole bridal group. I had a total of 9 ladies hair and makeup done and you would not be able to tell who got worked on first or last. Thank you MAB team and with out a doubt Highly recommend this team.

I can't gush about Adiel enough!!…read more She was recommended through Simple Maui Wedding and I'm so glad I took their advice. Adiel was promptly at my hotel at 5:30am for an 8:30am wedding! She was super-prepared and efficient but just as importantly she put me at ease while she worked away on my hair and make up. The best part is she made me look and FEEL completely beautiful for my wedding. My hair was exactly what I had invisioned and my makeup was flawless. Thank you so much, Adiel.

Thank goodness I did not pay her. On the day of my wedding which was stated all over our emails and in phone messages, I waited for her in the parking lot of our condo in Hawaii for over an hour. She simply did not show up. I was stranded to do my own hair and makeup which sucked. I didn't have any product and minimal make up as it was a destination wedding and I had booked her before we left for Hawaii. Since I also spent an hour waiting for her, my maid of honor was only able to straighten her hair after trying to do mine and my mom's hair did not get done either. We were almost late for the wedding as we started all this stuff late. Ends up she thought my wedding was the Friday, and not the Thursday it was suppose to be. On top of that, she was lost and couldn't find the condo on the wrong wedding day. I'm sure Adiel is great but if you use her, ensure she knows EXACTLY what day your wedding is because she didn't show up for mine. Also, ensure she has exact directions to where you are, send her google maps, instructions, everything!!

They really listened to my feedback after our trial and captured the look I wanted EXACTLY. I felt so confident and beautiful, and cannot thank them enough.

The Dream Hair & Makeup Team of a Lifetime!…read more I don't even know where to begin!! Liz and Amber were absolute perfection! From the moment they arrived, they brought such amazing energy, calmness, and joy to our wedding day. Liz, my makeup artist, was hands down the best I've ever experienced. She's unbelievably talented and such a light to be around fun, uplifting, and so professional. She made me feel like the most beautiful bride in the world! My makeup was flawless, so glam, and radiant all day long (even through happy tears and hours of dancing!). Amber completely blew me away with her hairstyling skills. My hair was more stunning than I could have ever imagined. It was soft, romantic, and perfectly styled from start to finish. She also did my bridesmaids' hair, and every single one of them looked incredible! Amber was so kind, sweet, and patient truly a professional in every sense. These two plus the rest of their team made our wedding morning not just beautiful, but fun and memorable. I couldn't have asked for a better glam team. I will 1000% be booking with them again the next time I'm in Hawaii for a special event. They're the real deal! Talented, kind, and absolutely extraordinary!

After reading the reviews for APL I decided this was the place on Maui to go. Unfortunately I have texted, emailed and made multiple calls without any response. Nope. Nada. Nothing. :( Pity as their online gallery has some great photos of blonde microblading and not many artists can do blondes well.

If these are your concerns, you don't have anything to worry about. Kim is very experienced and professional. It wasn't painful AT ALL. I love the shape and brought in some pictures of what I liked and ultimately trusted her to design what would look best. She made color suggestions and explained the healing process and what I could expect along the way. The only regret I have is that I didn't do it sooner. It was worth every penny. I'll be a customer for life!

When coming to Maui to finalize our wedding venue search, I decided that doing our engagment photos…read morethere would be best to test out someone for Hair & Makeup. I did my research, and thought that Jessica's pricing was very reasonable, and that her work resembled what I was looking for. With less than a week heads up, she was able to coordinate a time for my hair and makeup, and was so accommodating! I was very happy with the results after she was complete, but the real test came for the actual engagement shoot where we were on the beach getting splashed with ocean water, and battling wind. I have VERY fine blonde hair, and every piece stayed in place (and it was down in loose curls!), and my makeup look like it had just been put on despite hours in humid/wet conditions --- I was floored! Obviously with such a great experience, I booked her and her team for our wedding date once we settled on a venue. The results on our wedding day were nothing short of what I expected. She guided me through the process of how to do multiple (1 bride, 5 bridesmaids, 2 moms, and a groom's service) people's hair/makeup within tight timeframe, and even was able to take on an extra person for hair, and a groomsmen for a touchup last minute! My five bridesmaids are seasoned bridesmaids, in weddings spanning from Napa, to Palm Springs, to Italy and beyond and they all unanimously agreed that was HANDS DOWN the best hair/makeup experience they have ever had. The airbrush make up worked in humid Maui conditions all day, and with a variety of hair lengths/texture everyone was pleased with the results. I would recommend Jessica & her team to anyone looking for a seamless/stress free and beautiful hair/makeup experience on Maui for Weddings or any special events!

Jessica did my hair and make up for my elopement and I was so happy with the results…read more Not only did I look and feel beautiful, but Jessica was very sweet and helpful as I was not feeling well that day and the A/C broke in my hotel room. It speaks to her expertise that she could put on my eyelashes all while the hotel staff climbed ladders to fix the A/C, room service fluffed the pillows and bedding, dropped off a celebratory bottle and chocolates. She kept telling me we would later laugh about it and she's right. Aside from some general requests on how I wanted my hair and makeup to look, I trusted her to do her thing and she delivered. I went with wavy curls because I wore a flower crown. I'm always skeptical of curling my hair because it never holds but it held up beautifully even in the Maui heat. The airbrush makeup is amazing. Felt so light on my skin and looked great all night. Thank you, Jessica!
