Aloha Adiel!
I want to thank you again for helping to make Michael’s and my wedding day at Olowalu Plantation House as magical and perfect as it was. I should also be thanking the brides who took time to review your wonderful work. Thank ...goodness I took their glowing recommendations and hired you to be my wedding hairstylist! You are an absolute gem! I think most girls would agree that working with a new hairstylist is scary. Working with a new hairstylist on your wedding day is terrifying! My fears vanished the moment that I met you, which was about a week before my wedding. My first impression was of your Pukalani salon, which is really cute, both inside and out! Moments after I checked in, a beautiful brunette with amazing hair checked out. When I commented about how great her cut and color looked, she said that it was all you! This was music to my ears, and I knew that I could relax because I was in good hands. Adiel, you are completely adorable, as well! I was running pretty late the first day that we met and felt terrible about it. I really appreciated how calm and forgiving you were. You were also so sweet and fun to be with, and I immediately felt as though I was hanging out with an old friend, getting excited about and ready for one of the biggest days of a girl’s life. Besides being a blast to be around, you were quick and efficient, and did a gorgeous job coloring and highlighting my hair in a short period of time. We met a second time on a quiet afternoon a few days later. My bridesmaid and I were surprised to get to the salon that day and realize that we were going to be the only ones there. You didn’t tell me when I made the appointment that Saturday was your day off! During our visit, you helped me to select the perfect soft and romantic updo, and even incorporated the vintage button pins that I’d made and brought with me. My friend and I had the most fun talking and laughing with you, so much so that we completely lost track of the time! Before we departed that afternoon, you even insisted on re-styling my hair for the rehearsal dinner that was taking place that night. I was so impressed at how you phoned the day before the wedding to confirm your early morning arrival time. You and “Little Nikki” were perfectly on schedule, and gave my Mom and the bridal party the wedding hair of their dreams! We all felt so beautiful and special, and I know that I have you to thank. And so I say “mahalo” again for all that you did for us. I very highly recommend you to anyone who is looking for fabulous hair! If you ever decide to relocate to Portland, as we did, please let me know. I’d love for you to be my permanent stylist!
Warmest aloha,
Dana (and Michael)
