Izumi and Saori did such an amazing job on me and my mom and my girlfriends. I met with Izumi a few days before the wedding for trial. She was super nice and also very accommodating. She continually asked for my opinion and my thoughts on the hair and makeup during the whole process. I wasn’t sure which hairstyle I wanted to go with but she took the time to try both out so I could make my final decision. She also followed up with me the next day of my trial to see if my makeup stayed on and if we need to make any adjustments for the big day. On the big day, we had a lot of my friends getting their hair and makeup done by Izumi and Saori. They came super early in order to get everyone’s hair and makeup done on time. All the girls looked great and all my girlfriends were satisfied with their hair and makeup that day. My mom looked so gorgeous that day as well thanks to Saori. My makeup and hair turned out even better than the trial day. I wanted to look pretty but not look so unnatural. Izumi nailed it exactly how I imagined it. My fiancé (now husband) loved my hair and makeup that day as well (he is a brutally honest guy so I trust what he says lol). My friends and I loved working with Izumi and Saori and I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs their hair and/or makeup done in Oahu for any...

Read moreI can’t recommend Izumi enough! She did my hair and makeup for my wedding day, and she was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond to make sure my hair was set for the windy weather, and I really appreciated the little touch-up bag she gave me—it was such a thoughtful detail, and I actually ended up needing some of the items.
She arrived early and finished ahead of schedule, which was perfect because I got to my destination with plenty of time to spare. The whole experience with her was just so fun—we talked, laughed, and honestly, it felt like having my best friend doing my makeup. She completely nailed the look I wanted, and somehow, it turned out even better than the photos I showed her.
If you need a makeup artist in Oahu, just book Izumi. You won’t regret it. In fact, find an excuse to book with her because she’s not only incredibly talented but also such a joy...
