Salon 253

There were no complaints from Adiel (Owner/Master stylist who did my hair) or Lindsey Rex (Maui makeup artist) when I needed to show up for my appointment at 5am?! They greeted me with their Warm Aloha and made me feel so special every step of the way. My hair and makeup turned out WAY better than I could have imagined. They captured my vision, plus some! Even when my now husband saw me for the first time that day, he commented on how perfectly they captured/enhanced my natural features... he too was a big fan 🙂 Thank you again ladies for helping my Bridal vision come to life and for being a part of my special day in this way. These are moments I will remember and cherish for years to come. All my Aloha from Pittsburgh, PA to you!

day of our wedding but I didn't feel like anything was out of place. Jaqueline was very flexible with what I wanted as well. My bridesmaids had issues with the false lashes coming off right after the makeup was done so that's the only reason I can't give a 5 star.

making the appointment. The bridal suite was adorable and perfect for my bridesmaids and I to hand out in while they did my hair and make up. Thankfully, my florist was able to drop my flower crown off right to the suite and they could build my up do around it. IT WAS PERFECTION! I had the exact updo i had in my head and could not be happier. My makeup turned out perfectly and they nailed the rose gold glow I was looking for. Thank you ladies so much for being a part of my big day! And you were right! The pins held against the stormy beachfront winds!

nstagram 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!

air (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.

om 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!

l 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!!!

wedding!! All of the girls who came and helped us were so sweet and listened to everyones requests !! Thank you Salon 253!!

ey 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.

rience. 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.

ely 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!

l 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!

rsonal 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!

e to use them again for a special occasion.

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.

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! ;)

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!

y 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.

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)
