Easy to communicate with & a pleasure to work with. She showed up on time & overall, very professional. My daughters & I love our look, makeup & hair were on point. And she got us ready with enough time to rest before the photo session. We would definitely hire her again for special occasions & recommend her to family & friends. read more

FACE ON, HAIR DID!!! Have you ever freaked about about your face melting and your hair getting messed up because of the humidity? Those factors come into play when you are prepping for a wedding IN HAWAII. I'm not a local and trying to find someone trustworthy for makeup and hair required a lot of research. Found Meileen and rushed to schedule an appointment with her 2 weeks in advance. She was able to accommodate me in her busy schedule. She mentioned of a special they were having $125 for hair and makeup which is originally $150. My appointment was set for 11:30am and I had to leave the shop no later than 1pm. Meileen amazes me, she took her time with applying makeup on me and did my hair pretty quick. FACE ON I don't wear a lot of makeup, heck, I barely know how to apply my own makeup. Thankfully Meileen was there to my rescue. I wanted "warm Smokey" eyes but natural looking for afternoon outdoor beach wedding and reception that carries into the night. Also, hide my "tiredness" of jet lag and staying out late attending a foodie event - I was tired! She came with her magic boxes of makeup and got to work quickly. My face had a nice refreshed and polish look. HAIR DIDS I'll admit I was scared the humidity would just kill the hair style but Meileen is a local and knew what will hold and what won't. I showed her a picture and she applied that style and made it near exact!!! Let's be real, usually when you show someone a picture they get at least 75% close and the other 25% is the effort. Well, Meileen got it very close to exactly as I want it. Half up, volume, curls that need to last all night. I was surprised how fast she was able to get my hair styled in the short time-bomb window I had. Let's say after driving in the humidity and heat to Laie from Honolulu, beach winds, ceremony to reception, dancing on the dancefloor, back to Honolulu, my hair still looked damn good by the end of the night. Loved my look for the wedding! She's dope. And if you loved what she did, add a nice gratuity. I gave her 32%. I'll be sure to look her up next time I'm in 808 when I need to get dolled up. read more

Could I just say I'm so thankful I have stumbled upon this place bc it was just amazing!! I was looking for a makeup artist last minute for my graduation photoshoot. I probably contacted about 8 places, and 4-5 places got back to me, but I decided to go along with Studio M bc of all the positive Yelp reviews and really reasonable rate. They had a special rate for makeup only with just $70 which was the cheapest compared to all other 4 pleaded I heard back from. And the result? It did not disappoint! Dustin did a wonderful job making me comfortable, and checked in with me frequently to see if I'm ok with the makeup! He was also personable and pleasant, at the same time very professional! I appreciate them so much for making this special day even more meaningful :) If you are looking for a makeup artist, I recommend you give this place a try! read more

You need your hair and makeup done? You want to look like an amazing, upgraded version of yourself? (Like, I knew it was me in the mirror, but I still was like this is the finest I've ever looked). If answer is yes to both, book Meileen. I'm so in love with how I looked on my wedding day. She WERKED my beat so hard. read more

First of all, this review is so long overdue, MEI from Studio M is amazing, I thank God for helping me find her last minute, my wedding was May 14, 2016 and I only planned it in 4 months, after 1 test trial from another makeup artist, my aunt who was my wedding coordinator didn't like it and I wasn't too satisfied about my hair and I'm all about the hair, so I was given one of the best advice from my tan specialist and she told me it's my wedding day and not my birthday and I should look for 1 more artist and see, with only 3 more weeks until my wedding I searched here on yelp. I looked through a handful of artist and was specifically looking for someone who could nail my hair style that I really wanted because I knew makeup was very important but if this person can do better hair then that would be awesome, I finally found Studio M and saw the hairstyle and thought Wow, and saw the great reviews, I called Mei praying she would answer or call back and she did. I came to do my test late one Friday evening and she stayed very late for me and we got to know each other very well and I found out she was a Christian just like me and was very Godly and I knew right away, she was going to be good, she even told me she could do my wedding for me last minute because she knew I needed someone, and she could have someone else take her kids to their games, she is so sweet, she nailed the hair, did amazing on the makeup and she told me to tell her what I wanted differently, she also gave me a little discount, which is the bomb. The day of my wedding was so crazy, she only had 1 other assistant who was great with makeup on my bridesmaids, just took a little long on one of my girls, but Mei was amazing, she was so patient and kept me calm even though I was running around crazy and told me that I am not in control, but God is because it was also raining and I had an outside wedding, she did an absolutely fabulous job on all of my bridesmaids hairs, half up half down exactly how I imagined, different and gorgeous with flowers in their hair, and of course myself included, it was everything I ever imagined and my aunty my wedding coordinator was very satisfied. Mei, I can't thank Jesus and you enough from the bottom of my heart for being a part of my wedding day, you truly are very gifted by our Lord and don't you ever forget it. I look forward to many other times with myself and my girls if ever again, and I highly highly recommend Mei and Studio M for any hair and makeup needs!!!! read more

Studio M Hawaii - Makeup beautifully done for different occasions! - Makeup Artists Near Me

The best Make Up & Hair stylist, my gorgeous cousin-in-law Mei!!! She did a beautiful job on me for my wedding last month! There was no other MUA I wanted to beautify me on my special day! She truly is an artist and didn't rush while putting on my makeup and hair! Mei is a professional! First and foremost she listens to her clients! She knew how to work and adapt to my makeup style and it obviously shows when she puts forth in her works. On my wedding day I had a lot of girls and our moms who needed their hair and makeup done. 11 total including myself! Mei and two other artist came and patiently worked on each of us! What I liked the most from other MUA is that one works on a girls hair or makeup, then the girl switches to a different artist for the other service. Mei's team will stick to one girl and complete both hair and makeup. If you want beautiful results on your special day, please hire Mei!! You won't regret it!! read more

I came here with my mom and sister in law. We had my cousin's wedding on a Friday night. I usually just have lash extensions done and put foundation, face powder and lipstick. But having extensions off & on for years ruined my lashes so decided to look for a MUA on yelp...And I'm so glad I did! Studio M had all good reviews, it was close to home with lots of parking, & Meileen had a special for hair and makeup!! She responded to me very quickly and answered all my questions & even scheduled us the next day. She is super nice and very good in what she does!! She will definitely by my MUA from now on! read more

Meileen and her makeup artist she brought with her (I'm so sorry, I forgot her name, and she'll probably be so offended cause we came out of that like besties! Lol jk she was definitely a good time) but they were both so awesome and friendly and funny!! Every other makeup artist, when I tell them nothing heavy please, I always come out looking drag, followed by the excuse"oh but you'll want it to stand out for pic purposes. Not with studio M tho, girl delivered 100% and I LOVED how I looked in pictures. They even made my mom a whole 'nother person. I think my mom was also delighted with what they were able to do, she loved it so much she asked if my aunty, sister in law and sister could also do their makeup. And Meileen and crew took them, even though they did not have to. They all looked so pretty. I would recommend these gals to anyone and everyone!! read more

Studio M Hawaii - Hair and make-up by studio M. I wish I had before and after pics, but I absolutely love how it still looks "natural" - Makeup Artists Near Me

My sister found Meileen through her stylist on Kauai. She was able to get me in for hair styling and make-up with just a day's notice for my last minute destination wedding. My only request was to look like myself just polished for photographs. She did exactly that. My hair and makeup felt natural and light and held up through a few tears and several kisses. I am thrilled with the results and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a stylist! read more

Finally found the time to submit my review. Got invited to be a part of my niece's white Sunday celebration this past Sunday. Because it was last minute, I reached to a few of the salons around the area, where I can have my hair and make-up done, so I don't have to stress over it. To cut the long story short, I received a reply from Mei and she said she could take both me and my sister in law in for hair and makeup. I was ecstatic! One less thing to worry about. Mei did an excellent job with my makeup and hair. Despite the positive reviews I read on here prior to my visit, I was skeptical and didn't know what to expect. Mei came through; she nailed my hair and makeup. I loved it!I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of hair and makeup session. She will not disappoint. read more

Mei has always been my first choice since as far as I can remember. Every year I attend military ball and she is the only one I trust with applying makeup. She knows how to blend and apply the makeup which leaves me overly happy with the outcome. My makeup never feels cakey, and still looks great in photos! She also always gets my hair just the way I like it!!! Any style she can do!!!! She never complains and always has such a great attitude. She is the best and I'm always satisfied with her work!! read more

Let me just start off by saying I called Meileen on June 19 and my wedding was on July 14 of the same year. Anyone and everyone who has ever planned a wedding would know how crazy close that is but Meileen pulled through and was able to accommodate my date. My biggest priority of my wedding was to be a beautiful bride and Meileen delivered. I've never felt so gorgeous on my wedding day. Ladies you will not regret choosing her for your wedding. She's personable so it's not awkward getting make up done by someone for an hour and have nothing to talk about. She's so awesome! read more

Recently I competed in the Miss Hawaii Filipina pageant and Meileen was the first person I called to do my hair. She previously did my hair for a pageant photoshoot for Susan Page modeling and I was really satisfied with her work. My makeup was perfect and so was my hair. Needless to say she didn't let me down this time either (not like she would.) Additional to the beautiful hairstyles she created for me for each phase, she also helped me with anything I needed backstage. I definitely recommend Meileen, she has an awesome relationship with her clients and she is so gorgeous and professional. For any of your hair and makeup needs, I definitely recommend Meileen! read more

Dee and Mei came to do hair and makeup for the wedding of my daughter. They did hair for 2 brides, 2 mothers of the brides, 4 bridesmaids and an aunt. They glammed everyone up in the Hawaiian humidity with calm professionalism. This was a destination wedding and Diana was very responsive when I first called her and kept in touch via email right up to the wedding day. I would not hesitate to recommend them. read more

Meileen did a fabulous job of my hair and makeup for my wedding day! I was so thankful that she traveled to me and that she was able to accommodate some additional eyelash applications last minute. Thank you for making me feel and look like a beautiful bride. I would recommend and use Meileen for special occasions again! read more

I got the pleasure of working with Meileen. We did a trial a month before the wedding and that was when I knew I wanted her to do my hair and makeup for my wedding day. I did several trials before her but none came close to the quality of her work and attention to detail. Prices are also affordable. On the wedding day, she brought another artist and together they did 5 bridesmaids, 2 moms, and myself and was on time! She was punctual, friendly and calm. Meileen made me look absolutely gorgeous! Hair and makeup stayed put all day and throughout the night. I highly recommend Meileen for your wedding day! read more

For my Senior Prom, I was very hesitant on who I would book to do my hair and makeup because I've had bad experiences in the past and I never wear makeup so I wanted someone that would be able to take what I had in mind and make it better. After looking all over Yelp and Instagram, I came across Mei. Her price was great, the quality of her work was better than most I've seen, and she was able to come to my hotel. I showed her photos of what I had in mind and she recreated it beautifully. I was very nervous that my curls would fall like it did with all my other banquets/proms in the past, but by the end of the night, my hair was still perfect! My makeup didn't smudge, and it stood out in my photos beautifully. I stepped out of my comfort zone with the direction I took for my hair an makeup, but Mei made it so beautiful I didn't want to take down my hair/makeup. It was a great experience, she was very nice, and I felt comfortable and confident that she would do an amazing job. Definitely going to book Mei in the future if I ever need my hair/makeup done. read more
