Salon 253

Use this salon for your Maui Wedding!!!! Wedding hair and makeup is SO SO important because those looks are what will be captured in photos forever! There was no question I wanted to use Salon 253 for my big day, I looked on their website and Instagram and completely loved all of their looks. Anything from natural and clean, to romantic and more dramatic makeup, to perfectly styled hair that can match any dress style! I made a consultation appointment for a trial-run a few days before my wedding, and I'm so glad I had that opportunity to work with the girls to plan the perfect look for me! Special s/o to Lauren for the most perfect updo with fresh flowers, and Donna for giving my eyebrows life :) The staff is so friendly and helpful; trying to figure out wedding hair and makeup can be more stressful than it seems. The glam squad will travel to your hotel/condo/etc. on the wedding day, so you don't have to run around! They are professional, clean, reliable, and fun! Thank you so much Salon 253!

They did a wonderful job on all my bridal party’s hair and makeup. I would definitely recommend their girls for that aspect. They do exactly what you ask for style wise. There were 6 of us, I feel that they should’ve had one more person doing hair (there were 2) because they were late finishing us. I let them know that my ceremony was at 5, they arrived at 2, and they didn’t finish us until after 5:30pm. I alerted them that I was ready whenever they were at 9am. One of the stylists even mentioned that they always run behind. If I could go back I would’ve had them get there several hours before and been ready at least an hour and a half before I needed to be. My guests and groom/groomsmen were baking in the sun waiting for us. It caused a lot of anxiety and ruined my timeline for the rest of the day (I was unable to take pictures with certain guests since the sun was going down, I got married at sunset). All in all, the lack of time management ruined a good amount of my wedding day since I also had a videographer who was waiting on hair and makeup to finish in order to get the shots she needed.

When you picture your wedding day you see yourself with the perfect dress, the perfect shoes, and of course the perfect hair & make-up; and Salon 253 delivered just that! I requested to have Aidel do my hair because I mean she is the BEST! From the trial to the day of she killed it! I did a trial and was blown away. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she copied it exactly but incorporated her own styling as well; which came our beautifully! She has an amazing attitude and full of laughter! Thanks Aidel! Chelsie was my MUA and she was amazing. She listened to my concerns and directions of what I wanted and delivered! I was so happy with the turn out! Girlfriend made me feel like Beyoncé! Thanks Chelsie! Honestly don't even do the trial, just hire Salon 253 YOU WONT REGRET IT!

Salon 253 made me feel more beautiful than I ever have in my life, and that is exactly how you should feel on your wedding day. Lauren did not one but two hairstyles for my ceremony and reception. She transformed my amazing updo into a beautiful half up style. Victoria was a perfectionist while doing my makeup which made me feel very confident in her work. My mother had her hair done by Adiel and Makeup by Victoria and I think she too looked the best she ever has. They are such a fun and relaxing team, even helping my flower girl calm down from a meltdown. These guys are the best on Maui for sure!!!

I was so happy I went with Salon 253 for my bridal hair and makeup. The ladies were lovely, professional, and talented. Everyone (6 people for hair, 1 for makeup) were ready with time to spare, and everyone looked great.

Amazing salon!! I am so happy I chose this salon for my bridal hair and make up. They were able to accommodate all 8 of my bridal party for hair and make up! Everyone's hair and make up turned out perfect! I highly recommend this salon for your wedding!! All of the girls who came and helped us were so sweet and listened to everyones requests !! Thank you Salon 253!!

I am beyond happy that I choose salon 253, Amberlee did my hair and Nikki did my makeup. Not only are they talented, they are extremely sweet, friendly, and welcoming. I was so nervous and anxious on my wedding day before they arrived. While they worked we chatted about our pets, maui, etc. I was able to relax and next thing I knew it was wedding time. I also wasn't quite sure what I wanted for my makeup (all I said was "natural") but Nikki just did her thing and created the perfect look. Overall wonderful, friendly and professional staff that made my wedding day stress free. Thank you ladies for everything! I'd recommend them to anyone getting married in Maui.

Lauren and Nikki were AMAZING and helped out so much. I could not have gotten married without them.

Mahalo to Victoria, Petra, and Hannah for making us feel beautiful on my wedding day! From the moment I called to schedule my services with Kimberly, the bridal services coordinator, to the moment we stepped out the door I had a wonderful experience. Even on "Prom" day, they welcomed the two of us and didn't seem rushed. I am so happy I found Salon 253 and will patronize them next time I'm on Maui! True talented professionals.

The stylists at Salon 253 were wonderful! Everyone was super talented and we all loved our hair and makeup! They were a bit pricey, but we were on an island, so it was to be expected. Loved them!!

I really enjoyed having Adiel as my stylist for my wedding day. She is truly talented, genuine, and a great person! I wanted something exotic, but subtle and she found the perfect solution with my makeup. Her makeup was flawless and she definitely helped me look like the princess I felt on my wedding day. She was so kind to also share some stuff with one of my bridesmaid that forgot most of her things. My bridesmaids wanted to enjoy doing each others hair and makeup the morning of our wedding and Adiel even kindly offered to make some final touches to their hairs! Her pricing was beyond fair and she was so fun to spend time with the day of my wedding! Thank you!

I am beyond happy that I chose Salon 253 for my wedding hair and makeup. Adiel did an amazing job with my hair and makeup, it was exactly what I wanted - and even better than I had imagined. It was really convenient having Adiel come to my hotel room and get me ready, especially since this was a destination wedding and we didn't really know our way around town. I would definitely recommend Salon 253! Thank you so much!

The ladies at Salon 253 work miracles! We had a wedding party of 6 for hair & makeup, all of whom had very different tastes and styles, but they managed to satisfy everyone! Lauren (hair) & Sarah (makeup) hear what you have to say about your personal style & ideas for the event then they jump into action creating a masterpiece! I am so grateful we chose the Salon 253 Glam Team to take care of my bridal party!

The girls were great and really made me feel super comfortable on my special day. They also did an amazing job on my mom & mother in law. You can't go wrong with these girls

Due to their great customer service and clean environment I chose to have my hair and makeup done by Salon 253. The gals were fabulous! They made me feel like a million bucks with my up-do hair style and air brushed make up. I would not hesitate to use them again for a special occasion.

Adiel is amazing! Salon 253 was recommended to me by my wedding coordinator, Marissa Mendoza of Simple Maui Wedding. Like every vendor suggestion, this was exactly what I was looking for. Adiel and Lauren came out to our hotel to do hair and make-up. They were both so fun, putting any nerves at ease as an afternoon of girl talk and laugh led up to the wedding. Adiel is great at taking suggestions or looking at pictures and turning it into something better. She knew how to deal with the sun, humidity, etc. - to make sure you, and all your photos, looked great all night. All the make-up was waterproof (I did a trash the dress session in the ocean, and then went swimming later, and my face stayed in tact). You would be remiss not to use Adiel and team.

These group of ladies were AMAZING!! They were prompt and so good about having everyone scheduled and done on time for both make-up and hair. I had 7 bridesmaids along with myself as the bride and my mother. Everyone loved there make-up and we all thought Adiel and her team were super sweet and fun to be around while we wnjoyed my special day. Loved these group of girls! ;)

With a destination wedding I knew there would be no time for trial hair and make-up before the day of my wedding. After reviewing photos of previous brides Adiel had worked with on the Salon 253 website and the Simple Maui Wedding blog I had no fear of hiring her to do make-up and hair for my Mother, sister-in-law and myself. Adiel and Little Nikki came to our hotel for all services which made timing very convenient for us. No need to drive to her salon and rush to get back and dressed before the wedding. It was a very comfortable and relaxed setting and there was a lot of laughter and great conversation. All three of us have different complexions and hair textures. I had some photos of hair styles and make-up I had in mind which gave Adiel a place to start and then customize to my hair, coloring and wedding dress. The end result was more than I ever imagined! The others did not know what they wanted, but Adiel was ready and had perfect suggestions. We all had airbrush make-up applied which I think made a big different. It felt light on and blended our not all so even suntans. It also helped to cover up the tan lines showing on my sister-in-law in her strapless dress. Adiel’s knowledge of the island weather was essential in keeping our looks until the end of the evening even after being on the beach in slight wind during the ceremony. I always imagined getting all glammed up for my wedding and Adiel made me look and feel the most beautiful I have ever felt in my life! That is exactly what I wanted for my wedding day. All of our friends and family that look at our pictures can’t stop complimenting me on how radiant and beautiful I looked. Thanks to Adiel and Little Nikki we all felt and looked amazing!

Adiel is an amazing hair and makeup artist. She gave me the best hair and makeup I've ever got. My trial session with Adiel was wonderful. Adiel was very thorough. I gave her a picture of an up-do but wasn't sure if I wanted it symmetrically or asymmetrically. And Adiel kindly tried both and let me see how I look in the different styles. She also tried different shades of makeup on me and helped me decide how I want to look on my wedding. My hair and makeup looked amazing in my wedding day. I still looked like myself but enhanced. And that was exactly how I wanted to look for my wedding. Many people gave me compliments and asked me who did the hair and makeup.

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)

Adiel and Salon 253 staff are truly talented at what they do. Adiel did such an aaammmaaazzzing job with my hair and makeup! I felt beautiful and could not wait for my future husband to see me :) She was easy going, fun, and a pleasure to work with. She has great bridal packages and prices for hair and makeup which I highly recommend for furture brides getting married in Maui! Mahalo Adiel and her Salon 253 gals for being apart of our special day!

We got to know Adiel via Liz (Maui Makeup Artistry), and they make a great team the day of the wedding. My hair trial was the day before, and I was still undecided at that point but she somehow knew what to do with me- I loved what she did so that was easy. The wedding day was a bit windy and my hair didn't stay perfect by the time we were leaving (too much dancing and fun), but everybody who had her hair done by Adiel looked gorgeous, including my mom!

One of the hardest parts about planning my destination wedding was finding someone to do my hair and makeup. To be perfectly honest, I felt that everybody was overly expensive, after all I wasn't asking for plastic surgery. Plus, I'm picky and didn't want to look like a doll on my wedding day. I contacted a bunch of people and just didn't feel confident in any of them. I had found Adiel Sneary online and sent her an email. She called me back and after about 2 minutes I felt a connection that made me feel comfortable and confident in paying her to do my hair and makeup. Adiel made time to meet with me in her shop the day before the wedding, and her shop was the cutest thing. My little sister turned to me and said "wow, this is exactly your taste", and it really was. If I lived in Maui that's where I'd be going to get my hair done on a regular basis. My little sister ended up getting her eyebrows done after my consultation. (5 stars on that, too!) Day of the wedding and Adiel did a fantastic job. My hair looked amazing. My makeup looked amazing. I felt beautiful. And the whole time she was doing my hair and makeup all of the girls were having a great time making pointless chatter while getting ready for the ceremony. Adiel was awesome and I can't imagine finding anybody else that would have done as good of a job as her.
