Manda did my makeup for my September 2025 wedding in Oahu and if I could give a billion stars I would! I am from Maryland, so I flew to Hawaii the April before my wedding and one of the reasons was to come get a trial from Manda! She was amazing from start to finish. She is so warm, pleasant, and her work is phenomenal. She listens to you, but also knows what is best to bring out your best features. I wanted a soft glam with pink touches and executed everything so perfectly and more! On the day of my wedding, everything went perfectly and I could not have been happier with my bridal look! All thanks to Manda! Please please book with her for your future events! She is so lovely, professional, and her work speaks for itself! She made me feel like my best self and it was the prettiest I've ever felt! I also bought the lashes + lippie she used on me because I love it so much! Lol. She is just the best :) read more

My experience with this vendor did not begin well. About six months before my wedding I was informed that the stylist I originally booked could no longer make my date due to travel plans. I was told I could either get my deposit back or continue with her assistant team which admittedly is better than her canceling all together and I guess at least she offered my deposit back. I decided to stay with the booking so my bridesmaids would not have to deal with new pricing, although I now wish I had gone with the refund. Please keep in mind I booked a second separate company for myself and 2 of my sisters because I wanted to make sure I was 100% confident in my personal artist. The morning of the wedding was very stressful. Manda's team showed up late and did not begin until roughly forty minutes past the scheduled start time. My biggest issue is that hairstylist also told my mom the MORNING of the wedding that she HAD to wear her natural curls because straightening her hair type would not look good cause of the humidity and said there was no time for any other option (like a blow out, probably cause they had started so late), and she told my mom she could blow it out herself if she wanted and she could "maybe add some curls"). This really upset my mother since she is self conscious about her natural hair and wanted to feel her best for the big day. It created a really unsettling start to our morning and my mom was in tears. Thankfully, a stylist from the other company that I had hired for myself stepped in and helped calm things down. She was able to style my mom exactly the way she wanted and it held beautifully through the night and EVEN into the next day. Without her help the situation would have been extremely upsetting. Because of all this I cannot comfortably recommend this vendor, especially for those who have natural curls or want specific styling. Although Manda herself didn't do this, it's evident her team is not equipped to handle a situation like this. read more

I'm so grateful I found MUA Manda, hair stylist Leesa and the rest of her awesome team for my day! Manda is not only an incredible makeup artist, but her whole team is talented and extremely professional. I've been in weddings before where the whole timeline was thrown off and photos were missed because hair and makeup was late, etc. and it caused chaos and stress, so I made it a priority to do my research and look for someone who was not only a great artist but who was an experienced wedding-specific professional that came recommended by other vendors who'd worked with them. My experience with Manda was 10/10. She made my day stress free and fun. I had 8 including myself who needed hair and makeup, so Manda ensured there were enough artists to ensure everyone would be taken care of within the given timeline and we still had time for some fun getting ready/robe photos! Manda communicated ahead of time what to expect, timeline and tips before the day-of which was appreciated because I like to be organized! All the girls felt beautiful after their hair and makeup sessions, which were personalized to each girls preferences. Each girl got a little touch up kit to use at the venue which was great! The day itself was a little muggy and humid, but everyone's hair and makeup looked fabulous throughout the night. Manda should absolutely be #1 on your list for a hair and makeup experience that is fun, stress-free and leaves you feeling beautiful and confident on your wedding day! read more

Manda is a rockstar! I got married in Laie in January 2026. I am a little bit of an older bride, and have noticed a difference in my hair and skin in the last couple of years. I was very nervous about foundation and powder settling into my changing skin. I set up a trial, and expressed my concerns. She assured me that she had solutions. Manda also arranged for Meileen to do my hair. Again, I had concerns about how aging has affected my hair recently. They killed it on the first try. Very few changes were made for the wedding day. They both were lovely to work with and fun to be around. The price was extremely reasonable. I would absolutely recommend booking with MUA Manda! read more

Booking Manda for HMU for my wedding was one of the best decisions. The crew she brought along to help with glamming up me and SIX other people were absolutely amazing. We looked and felt so beautiful that day. We got our first set of pictures back from our photographer and WOW. All of my ladies are criers, but that make-up stuck and the hair stayed in place despite the sprinkles through the night. Hair and make-up is an investment and I'm glad I invested. These pictures will last a lifetime. The energy Manda and the girls brought was also so nice. They hyped us all up to prepare for my walk down the aisle and it was overall fun. A couple of my bridesmaids don't really wear make-up or do their hair and had no idea what to ask for, but Manda and the girls put in WORK and never made anyone feel us comfortable. I'd 100% recommend. read more

I can't say enough good things about Manda and her team! It absolutely poured on my wedding day, and somehow my makeup stayed flawless through it all, people actually thought I got touched up because it looked that good! From the start, Manda was so professional and easy to communicate with. She really listened to what I wanted during the trial. As someone who doesn't usually wear much makeup, I was a little hesitant at first, but she made me feel so comfortable. I loved my trial look, but on the wedding day, she made a few subtle changes that made me feel even more beautiful and truly bridal. She and her team were friendly, timely, and just amazing overall. My bridesmaids were also so happy with their hair and makeup, it was exactly what they asked for, and everything held up perfectly through the rain and the entire night. Manda is one of those people you instantly feel comfortable with, I felt like I've known her for years. She's professional, a great communicator, and just so talented. I'm beyond grateful I had her with me on my big day. I truly can't recommend her enough! read more

She did the makeup for my vow ceremony and she did an outstanding job! I recommend her to anyone looking for a Mua in the area! She was so professional, positive, just an absolute vibe too! read more

Amanda was so professional in every way. I had previous work done before but she worked her magic and made my eyebrows pop like never before. I highly recommend her work. It was painless and quick. Her place is so spotless and clean. Mahalo Amanda!! read more

This is a 100% honest review!! RESPONSE TIME/COMMUNICATION - 10/10: I reached out via text for a quote and information on booking. Response time was within 2 hours and she answered all of my questions. She also asked for pertinent information from me right then before booking (how many bridesmaids, if I needed hair too, etc.). TRIAL - 10/10: I booked my trial a few weeks before the wedding at her location in pearl city. Parking was easy, location was clean and she was ready for me as soon as I walked in. She was happy to have my friend sit and watch while we all chatted and the vibes were great!! I will say - if you are a "natural" girly like me and have ZERO idea what you want in makeup, then THIS is the time to ask a million questions and ask to see your face the entire time LOL. I walked into my trial and told Manda that I didn't wear makeup and that I was open to her vision. The only thing I mentioned was that I liked my lips a bit darker and less foundation on my skin. She did a really pretty look on me but I didnʻt ask questions or ask to see the look throughout the process etc etc which was 100% my fault. She did ask about eyeshadow colors etc which I picked and she did a darker pink on my lips and told me to see how I felt about the makeup for the rest of the day and to keep notes on changes iʻd like to make etc. I went home and took some photos in the sun and though the makeup was beautifully done, it made me realize that I wanted something entirely different. Overall 10/10 for the trial because she did great, kept up the vibe, and the makeup was beautiful - just not what I wanted. I highly recommend having an idea of what you want beforehand, and even better to have reference photos!!! WEDDING DAY - 1000/10: Manda and the Hairstylist came on time and ready to work!! They only had 3 of us so it was nice to have a little intimate moment. Luckily Manda had a mini speaker so we could play music and really have a good vibe to set the tone for the day. I was so nervous to go over everything with her that I wanted to change lol I basically sat in her chair and said um yeah I want to change everything but she was so understanding and said absolutely, what are we doing? So I showed her my trial makeup we did (P.s. Iʻm sure she does a million trials and looks so itʻs helpful to have your own pics on hand) and I went over everything. Basically I told her I wanted super bold eyes and less bold eyebrows etc etc etc and even though iʻm sure she was thinking "what the hell are you trying to say" she still trekked through lol. She did mention that normally she doesn't show the bride the makeup the entire way through because you don't have that "omg I love it" at the end moment but because I was making so many changes and whatnot she decided to show me periodically to make sure I loved it. She also made me feel so good because halfway through she was like omg girl this looks WAY BETTER than the trial and you look stunning like bold was the way to go and then I felt so reassured with my choices!!! Bottom line, she rolled with the punches and by the end she SLAYED THE HELL OUT OF MY FACEEEEE!! Like no joke, the makeup stayed all night and everyone was in love with my look! PRICE - 10/10: For 2024 prices the bridal makeup was $145 and the trial was $95. The location fee (if she comes to you) is $75 (add $30 for hairstylist). This was an amazing price and totally worth it!! Thank you Manda, u da bess!! -Loke (Your Halloween bride) read more

Manda is THE BEST!!!! I've never gotten my makeup professionally done before but knew I wanted to for my wedding. I found her on Instagram and really loved her makeup style. After my makeup trial with her, I knew she would slay my day of makeup. Ive never felt more beautiful and it's all because of her. She is also very flexible; we switched a few things up the day of from my trial and I absolutely loooooved my wedding day makeup. It lasted all night and looked so good in photos despite the humidity and rain. Manda is also so sweet and funny, which makes the time fly by. I can't recommend Manda enough and already can't wait for the next time I need to get glammed up! read more

Manda and her team was one of my favourite vendors of my wedding day. People say to hire people you like, and I understand why. After being hella anxious before my wedding, I really looked forward to Manda's energy, getting to chat away in the chair, and - of course - becoming even more beautiful than we already were ;) Manda and her team have a ton of experience with people of different skin colours/hair types. She can do soft/neutral makeup (see pics of my mum), or a more glammed look (mine). My makeup looked STUNNING. They say you should feel your most beautiful on your wedding day, and I feel like I really did! Not to mention the makeup lasted all day, despite humidity. Manda's response time was swift by text, her prices are fair compared to others on island, and her studio is conveniently located for trials. I recommend her! read more

Manda is the sweetest & most professional eyebrow slayers EVER! I've only heard great things about her so I finally decided to come see her. BEST decision I ever made. I am now able to wake up with perfect eyebrows that are always on point. She gives you very clear instructions on what to do or not to do before your appointment and during your aftercare. Conversations with Manda is always a joy and when you leave her, your spirit is filled up with positive vibes. She is truly gifted in more ways than one. I will recommend everyone to get their eyebrows (or whatever) done by Manda, you wont regret it! read more

I found Manda on Instagram and immediately contacted her regarding makeup for my wedding. Going into the trial I was a little nervous since I didn't know what I wanted as all her pictures were amazing, and I also do not wear very much makeup on a daily basis to begin with. So you can imagine my anxiety levels when she asked me if I wanted shimmer or matte...huh? I don't know! She was super down to earth which I totally appreciate because I usually feel really intimidated by going to anything that has to do with self care. Thank you for making me feel like a model for a day read more

Manda did my makeup and my mom's for my wedding. It came out perfect! We did 2 trials just to make sure everything was set. She always took my feedback and used some of my makeup that I knew worked for me. My makeup lasted the whole time even with a mask on! read more

Looooong overdue review for Manda! She's so amazing. I was recommended to make an appointment with her and I'm so glad it did! I got my brows microbladed by her in December and went in from my retouch in February. Microblading by her has been so life changing! No more waking up earlier to draw on my brows. Manda really is a brow guru. So fun and easygoing. I recommend her to all my friends that want to get microbladed. read more

I had the pleasure of working with muaManda on a fashion show in Hawaii. She was very professional in the way she handled the show as well as the preparations which were to be made. I received multiple reminders of how to be prepared for the big day and was at ease with how organized she was. The makeup application also came out awesome! It was a crazy makeup show and my eyeshadow popped and stayed all night long. The best part was how the mu looked on camera. I would recommend this mua to my friends and family :) read more

Manda deserves 6 stars! She is absolutely amazing! I was really nervous about doing my brows, since I rarely wear makeup and wanted a really natural look. My brows were already pretty full, and I just wanted to keep the full, natural look without the morning maintenance. Manda looked over the photos I showed her of natural powder brows that I liked, and she DELIVERED. As someone who is constantly in the ocean or working out, I LOVE that my brows are effortlessly always on point now! People constantly ask where I get my brows done, and I always tell them that I don't need to get them done, thanks to Manda's magic! Thank you Manda! read more

I didnt do my makeup with Manda but wanted to comment on her customer service. I live in Washington D.C. now and was scrambling to find a makeup artist 3 weeks out of my wedding date. Working on Capitol Hill has been extremely hard for me to plan a wedding. Anyay, Manda was so nice to accomdate me on my big day even though she had to do a trial run during the same time i needed her. She wouldve also let me stay and chill at her salon till my bride's man (i have males as my bridesmade) to pick me up. She answered all my phone calls and text messages!! Manda was very understanding when I told her i could find someone else to do my makeup. Thank you so much Manda for being so accommodating and understanding! read more

I feel so lucky that I had Manda as my makeup artist for my wedding. I've had my makeup done by plenty of artists before, but never anywhere near as well as it was done by Manda. She made me look amazing both up close and far away. Everyone was complimenting me. Manda does brow microblading, so I guess it was no surprise that using makeup she also made my brows look so ON FLEEK!!! I didn't want to clean off my makeup lol. Wish I could look that good everyday. Anyway, my point is, don't feel like you have to go to those crazy expensive fancy hotel salons to get makeup done, Manda will make you look amazing. read more

I had such a great time working with Manda!!! She did mine and my maid of honor's makeup for my wedding. All I told her was I want to look natural, but not look like nothing is there. PERFECTION!!! She was on time, very organized, and extremely professional!! My biggest worry was what my husband and dad would think or say because I hardly ever wear makeup. I didn't want to get the response of OMG who is this girl, I don't even recognize you?!?!?! lol. But, instead it brought tears to their eyes and said I looked beautiful!! My second biggest worry was that the makeup would run. I am a huge cry-er, if my emotions aren't between a 4-7 on a scale of 10 I'm crying. It's my big day, so I already knew I would be crying A LOT! I had told Manda this and she said not to worry. My makeup lasted the entire night and didn't smudge, fade, or run!!! If you need makeup done go to Manda, you won't be disappointed! Totally going to her again next time I have a function! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Manda on my wedding day. She did the makeup for me (bride), MOB, & MOH. I contacted her based on her wide range of experience and strong style and skills.

Manda made me feel comfortable and beautiful during the entire process. She did a flawless job on my natural boho look which complimented my flowers perfectly. I love the passion she has for her work, she is a true artist! Don't hesitate to work with her, she is da best! read more

My wedding makeup lasted ALL DAY LONG! I even fell asleep with it on and it STILL looked perfect when I woke up! Haha I couldn't believe it! All my bridesmaids looked amazingggg! And the BROWSSSS! My eyebrows have never looked so good! I really wish I lived in Hawaii so that Manda could do microblading for me! That will have to be another trip. read more

Manda made sure that we got ready early to finish in time before the pictures, she even spent extra time on me ( the bride) and did not rush anything. She is very professional and easy to talk to, her and her team made everyone look gorgeous. Her team was good at working with different types of hairstyles and different skin tones. We definitely recommend her! She knows what she's doing any is good at staying on time, especially working with a huge bridal party like ours. I would recommend her to anyone and she's more affordable than other make up artists/ stylists that I spoke with. read more

No other make up artist can compare to Manda. She knows what make matches to the person's personality & everyday look. If 6 stars was an option, I would give her 10. She is truly the best.

Seriously, one of the best decisions I've ever made! I'm in the love with my microbladed brows! I'm a nurse, so getting ready for work is such a breeze now!

Extremely happy with the results and would definitely recommend her to everyone! read more

I have had my makeup done numerous times, and after having Manda do my makeup, I can honestly say she made me feel the most confident I have ever felt in my own skin.

I just got my brows microbladed by Manda and I love them! Ive been waiting for a procedure that was semi-permanent and looked natural (unlike tattood brows) and microblading was the way to go. I found Manda on Instagram (@muamanda) and I followed her for a couple of weeks until I decided to book my appointment. Now, if youre in the market for microblading just know that the good artists are booked months in advance so if youre thinking about getting your brows done, book your appointment soon. I waited a couple of months before she had an availability and those were the longest months ever but the wait was definitely worth it. Manda is a professional and gets the job done making you feel comfortable and relaxed the whole time. She is very communicative about the procedure and makes sure you love your brows before she moves on. She wants to make sure you are getting the look you want! She is located in a salon inside the Dole Cannary (near the food court area) and Uniforms Hawaii and Mills Uniforms are right outside in the outdoor mall. I cant wait for my follow-up appointment in 6 weeks. read more

Manda did my makeup for my vow renewal in Oahu. She arrived on time and was fully prepared for doing my makeup. I didn't do a trial run but I did show her pictures of what I was interested in. She gave me exactly what I wanted! Everything was perfect; my brows, eyes and skin color. My husband doesn't like to see me in a lot of makeup and was thrilled with the final results. He teared up when he first saw me :-) read more

From the get go Manda was absolutely AMAZING!!! I was in desperate need of a MUA after my trial run went really bad. I found her on The Knot and immediately contacted. Manda is extremely responsive and was willing to work with me and my schedule. We did a trial run which helped solidify my trust in her abilities. She listened to what I wanted while being able to make expert recommendations. She is warm, friendly, and professional. I had been having nightmares about my wedding day prep but Manda was there for me, on time, and genuinely making me feel as if I was the most beautiful bride. She went above and beyond to help with my daughter's make-up too even tho I hadn't hired her to do her make-up. I can't say enough positive things about Manda. Bottom line, she knows what she is doing, she does it well, professionally, and with pride. What more could a bride ask for? I will update this post with pics as soon as I get them back!! (I did not think to take any selfies as I am not a selfie person by nature.) Manda will forever be my go to for make-up. read more
