Having Crystal Hunter do my hair and makeup made my wedding day so much easier and basically stress free! She showed up a little early which was nice because it gave her time to set up. She is so experienced. She works like a well oiled machine! Crystal was organized, got in there, made me more beautiful than I have ever been my entire life!, cleaned up, and was out of there perfect timing! She even did my daughters hair who was walking me down the aisle.
She was respectful and kind! It felt like one of my life long friends was getting me ready for my big day! My photographer recommended her and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone wanting to get photos taken but highly recommend her for bridal hair and make makeup!
Everyone that saw me after Crystal worked her magic said I looked like a goddess and I'm 43 so I'm not a young bride.
Gratitude for the service and the experience

Crystal was absolutely amazing to work with! She listened carefully to what my vision was for my big day and delivered 1000 percent. She styled my naturally curly hair and put in some of my curly extensions to increase volume and length. My hair looked absolutely stunning and held up the whole day without a single frizz (that’s saying a lot considering the climate of Kauai.) She made sure my make up complemented my face and the look I was going for, while perfectly covering my VERY sunburnt hair. Id recommend Crystal to everyone, and especially my curly hair gals!!!

Crystal did an absolutely amazing job with my hair and makeup! We had a sunrise wedding, and she arrived right on time bright and early with such a positive, and friendly attitude. Leading up to the day, she was extremely communicative and professional, coordinating start and finish times perfectly and sticking to the schedule flawlessly.
I only shared a few inspiration photos with her, and she completely nailed the look my hair and makeup were exactly what I wanted and held up beautifully all day, even through a couple of rain showers. Crystal was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day punctual, kind, and incredibly talented. I can’t recommend her enough!

Crystal truly exceeded my expectations for my 20th wedding anniversary vow renewal. She brought my vision for hair and makeup to life and made it even more beautiful than I imagined. The look was natural, elegant, and dreamy—exactly what I had hoped for and more.
Crystal is not only incredibly talented, but also such a joy to be around—so sweet, easy to talk to, and a true artist in her craft. Her style and technique are flawless, and she made the entire process feel effortless.
I cannot thank her enough for helping me feel so confident and radiant on such a special day. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled, professional, and genuinely kind hair and makeup artist.
Thank you again Crystal!

Crystal and Misty are incredibly talented and made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! My makeup and hair lasted all day and night, even in the humidity! Beyond being so talented in their art and skill, Crystal also was also such a kind vendor to work with. Our headcount and plans changed a few times and each time she handled it with grace, patience, and flexibility. I could not recommend them enough!

Crystal was amazing ! She was kind, professional, and got everyone ready on time. She’s great at bringing your ideas to life. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she nailed it ! Highly recommend ! Especially if you are having a destination wedding. She came right to our condo and did our hair right in the comfort of our house. It was nice not having to travel the day of my wedding.

Crystal did my make up and hair for my vow renewal in Kauai. She was amazing, I absolutely loved my look and have had so many compliments on both my hair and make up when people have seen pictures, and just as importantly she was friendly and put me at ease and we had a laugh while she did it which made me feel relaxed. I would 100% recommend her to anyone!

I had the absolute pleasure of having Crystal do my hair and makeup for my elopement, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I was apprehensive because I myself am a MUA and it’s difficult finding a good artist. Not only did she make me look&feel beautiful, but she also made the whole process so much fun! My complexion turned out flawless—definitely one of my favorite things about the look. My curls and makeup held up all night even after being RAINED ON! She was so sweet, down-to-earth, and truly kept it real the whole time, which made me feel comfortable and confident on such an important day. I really feel like I made a friend during our time together, and I’m so thankful it was her there with me, making the day even more special. My wedding pictures turned out amazing. If I ever visit Hawaii again, I will definitely want to give her a big hug and say hello! Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a well rounded hair and makeup artist who’s not only talented, experienced, highly professional but also a joy to be around!

My hair was styled perfectly, and my makeup was flawless. What really impressed me was her attention to detail and ability to keep me calm and relaxed. If you're looking for top-notch services, look no further! Crystal is your girl! Five stars isn't enough - I'd give her ten! 💫✨️"

Crystal did my hair and make up for my wedding in Hawaii. I can’t say enough great things about her. She is so attentive, really listened to what I wanted and made my getting ready experience perfect. Other than her being super sweet, my make-up and hair was flawless! I loved the look she created and it lasted the entire ceremony (on a windy beach) and through the evening. I highly recommend using her!

Seriously can’t say enough good things about Crystal! I booked with her on short notice for bridal hair & make up, and so extremely happy that I did. My hair and makeup came out absolutely amazing, and exactly as I had showed her I wanted for my wedding. Not only is she as talented as it gets, but was so welcoming and friendly, too! Do not pass up an opportunity to book with Crystal for your special event. Highly recommend!

I cannot thank Crystal enough for her amazing hair and makeup for our big day. She was attentive, thoughtful, and just extremely talented. She made sure to check in with me every step of the way while adding her own creativity to the look. She made sure to stay true to what I was looking for overall and really knew how to understand the vision I had. It was a great experience working with her and I really felt beautiful for my day thanks to her! I was also amazed by the ease she worked with my hair when any other time I have gotten it done it always turned out not the way I was looking for. I wish I could use her for any event I have in the future! She is truly talented and I would recommend her to anyone searching for the perfect stylist! Thank you for making my day go so well, we really appreciated you and the time you dedicated to our day!

Crystal did an amazing job with my natural curly hair. I was worried but she worked around my curls to enhance what was already there. Makeup was just the right amount to look great in photos but still look like myself. I would highly recommend her.

Crystal was absolutely wonderful! I appreciated how prompt she was and how organized her make-up and hair kits are. I showed her a photo of the hairstyle and I wanted and she delivered. She listened and made recommendations for make-up (I’m not very good with make-up so her input definitely helped). I’m super happy with my hair and make-up!

If I could give Crystal a million stars I would! She did my hair and makeup for my elopement and it was so perfect. I showed her a couple of my ideas I had for hair and she beautifully recreated the examples I had shown her and my curls stayed in all night! I've gotten so many compliments on how beautiful my makeup was. She was so sweet, kind, and so easy to talk to. I am so grateful I got to work with Crystal and would highly recommend her to any bride!

10 STARS!!!
Service provided: airbrush makeup & hair styling for wedding day.
Crystal was incredible!
My husband and I eloped to Kauai on 4/19/19. Elopements can be intimidating, especially when neither of you have ever been to the location. Crystal made every bit of my experience with her a breeze! Booking with her was super quick and easy. Communicating with her long distance was painless as well. And did I mention that she comes to you?!
This was literally the most important picture day of my life and she made me look picture perfect..
I was stressed out about the trip and broke out on my chest and nose which made me even more stressed. I had never done airbrush makeup before so I wasn't sure what to expect.. Crystal covered the areas on my chest and nose like a BOSS and even did a highlight for me on my collarbones! I felt completely comfortable and confident in her, the entire time.
For those of you who haven't ever done airbrush makup - it lasted all day and did not rub off at all. I was sceptical at first when reading about it online.. but she came over around 10 am and our ceremony was at sunset in the hot humid air and wind at the top of Waimea Canyon.
Not only does she have an exceptional talent, she has a very kind personality and I would recommend her to anyone.
I am SO grateful to have found her.
If you are currently searching for a makeup artist/stylist and considering Crystal.. DO IT. You will not be disappointed.
Mahalo,
Abbrianna

Planning an out-of-state elopement can be scary. Booking your hair and makeup artist for the big day with no trial run could be terrifying. Crystal's stellar reviews made me choose her. Corresponding with her here and there via email put me at ease. By the time she arrived at our ABnB condo for our appointment, I was totally relaxed and ready to have fun! Crystal is a great listener, a talented stylist, and a really amazing person. Having her do my hair and makeup for our wedding photos was one of the best decisions I made. I have limited abilities in the beauty prep department. I don't wear much make-up on a daily basis and mostly live in messy buns. I felt totally ill-equipped without Crystal's guidance. She listened to my preferences and then I trusted her judgment to develop an appropriate style to match my dress and venue.
Crystal goes above and beyond to get everything just right. She made me feel like a princess and I will treasure the pictures she helped create over the many years to come :)

Crystal did a fantastic job on my hair/makeup for myself and my daughters. She was very accommodating and made adjustments per request.
In addition, she came back 3 days later at 5am to redo my hair/makeup for our trash the dress photos.
On top of being fantastic at hair and makeup, she also has a great personality which made our time together enjoyable.
