The Artists Co. was my amazing glam team for my wedding in Kauai. Since we were coming to Kauai from California, I wasn’t able to do my hair and makeup trial with Mia until the day before. When I met with Mia, she was incredibly sweet and friendly! I described the look I wanted with a few inspiration pictures, and she executed it perfectly. We hosted our welcome party that night and I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup, which lasted all day!
On the day of the wedding, Mia, Misti, and Cheyenne arrived right on schedule and their set-up was efficient and professional. My bridal party brought their own inspiration pictures, and the artists brought them to life! Although I loved my trial look, I wanted to make some slight changes. I brought this up to Mia, and she once again worked her magic. She made me look and feel so beautiful!! I really can’t thank Mia and The Artists Co. enough and would recommend them to anyone!

Oh. My. Goodness. I literally cannot say enough about how amazing Mia is. I booked her for my wedding hair and make-up and truly have never felt more beautiful in my life. And I've had professional hair and make-up done many times! I gave Mia some inspiration and guidance for what I wanted, and I could tell that she truly listened and reviewed what I had sent. And I could tell she took into consideration the little things, like the unique way my hair behaves and my skin type. The result was better than I ever could have imagined. Literally every person who came up to me that day told me I looked beautiful! Of course there's more to life and a wedding day than beauty, but when it comes right down to it, feeling beautiful makes absolutely everything better – especially the photos. Thank you so, so much, Mia and The Artists Co!

I'm one of the lucky brides to have Mia as a HMU artist for me and my bridal party on my big day this past April. With it being a destination wedding, I wasn't able to do a trial like I would back home, so I trusted the process and Mia's skills, and I couldn't be happier with the results! She and her team were easy to communicate with before our arrival, punctual, professional, and overall very kind and a pleasure to be around as we were getting ready. Everyone looked great and we were all happy with our looks! I can't recommend her enough! Thank you, Mia & team for making us look and feel beautiful on a very special day!

Mia was absolutely wonderful! I flew into Kauai a few days prior to my elopement and Mia had the time to do a hair/makeup trial with me before the big day. I absolutely loved my hair AND makeup. She understood exactly what I wanted based off the pictures I had shown her. I didn’t want to change a thing. Mia re-created the same look on my wedding day and it was perfection. She even arrived to my hotel at 245am to get me ready since I was getting married at sunrise! Hands down you should go with Mia to glam you up on your wedding day… you will not be disappointed. She is just the best!

First off- Mia is a dream! I wish that I could have my hair and makeup done by Mia on a daily! She had me feeling so beautiful on my wedding day. I loved that she took the time to "talk story" and get to know a little bit about me. She was so kind and it brought me so much comfort while getting ready. She also had me giggling and smiling with all of her sweet compliments! It definitely helped to ease my nerves! Mia was also accompanied by some of her team to assist with my bride tribe- and they were so so wonderful! My ladies were so happy with their hair and makeup! Some even said they plan to hire The Artists Co. for their own wedding someday! Thank you, Mia! I am forever grateful for you and your team! If you're looking for a hair and makeup artist- I highly recommend Mia at The Artists Co.!

Hiring Mia and the rest of her team was easily one of the best decisions we've made for our wedding in January 2022. Her professionalism was superb, her team is very efficient and talented! I cannot recommend her enough for your bridal hair and make up. I loved her work so much that I started tearing up as soon as I saw my face after she did my make up, she's that good! If you wanna feel like a flawless beauty queen during your wedding, definitely book Mia and her team!

This review is extremely overdue (sorry, Mia!).
Mia and her team were nothing short of exceptional. They showed up early, they were extremely prepared, they listened to my ideas and provided recommendations, and they were so friendly. I loved how my makeup and my bridesmaids' hair and makeup turned out! They definitely nailed the natural glam look that I had envisioned for my wedding. On top of everything else, they were extremely gracious when one of the bridesmen decided the girls looked so good that he wanted a little skin touch up too! I thoroughly enjoyed working with Mia and her whole team. They are total pros and made the whole experience so relaxing that I forgot about my wedding nerves for a few hours! If I could do it all over again, I definitely would.

Mia made my now husband and I both feel pampered on our wedding day! I didn’t think he’d enjoy it so much, but the makeup for him was so subtle yet made him feel very dapper and handsome. As for me, she asked what I wanted every step of the way and executed perfectly. She even asked to see my favorite lipstick color then created a similar color on the spot! I am very picky with my makeup and I had not a single complaint the entire time. She definitely knows what she is doing and does it extremely professionally! I felt very comfortable with her as well. She made me feel like a mermaid the way she worked her beauty magic and I can’t thank her or recommend her enough!!! You will not be disappointed one bit if you book with her

She did my bridesmaids' hair and they all absolutely loved their looks. My hair and makeup was also perfect, even better than I could have imagined, and held up so well despite wind and rain. Mia has a calming energy that is so needed on one's wedding day. Thank you, Mia!

She was very professional and made my wedding day so special. If you are in Kauai and need hair and makeup, you will be so happy choosing Mia! All the ladies in my group got their hair and makeup done and they all loved it and looked great! Thank you Mia for making the best day even better!

I still think back how light my make up and how beautiful I felt the day of my wedding 6 years ago.
Mia had also done my MIL and mothers hair and make up. Let me tell you - when I had a different stylist for both of them back in NYC they could not stop complaining and comparing. They kept saying how come you can’t make me look like this to the poor stylist back home. They could not stop saying how Mia had also made them feel beautiful and her work was exceptional.

I cannot recommend Mia enough!! She did exactly what I wanted without me fully knowing what I wanted or what to show her I wanted. I like a very natural glowy look and she absolutely nailed it. My now husband was blown away by how I looked and I couldn’t have felt more beautiful on my big day. She also did an amazing job on my hair. It was even better than the pictures I showed her. And as impressive as she is at her job, she also has the sweetest personality and I loved talking to her throughout the getting ready process. She was so much fun and I’m so happy I chose her for my wedding!

I am so grateful for Mia. She is the sweetest soul I have ever met and her work is absolutely stunning. After having another makeup artist cake my face for our engagement photos (my husband and I both thought it looked bad and unnatural), I did a lot of research for finding a makeup artist that matched the natural look that I was wanting. Although Mia is based in Kaui, after looking at her profile and how stunning and natural she made her brides look, I decided it was worth the little extra to fly her over for our Oahu wedding.
Through all the changes that occurred due to COVID, Mia was super flexible, understanding, kind, and patient. She even decided to travel a day earlier than expected to do my hair and makeup for my wedding rehearsal after I had asked if she could last second. As Mia did my hair and makeup, it felt like I was talking to an old friend. She has this calming and humble presence about her that made me feel comfortable and relaxed event amongst all the stressful wedding planning.
Come wedding day, I asked her to do a look that was different from what she had done at my trial. She nailed it spot on and made me feel beautiful which I never think or say. Her assistant, Caitlyn, was also very good and OMG hilarious! She too also helped to bring positive vibes into the room while everyone got their hair and makeup done.
I would hire Mia for any event. She is absolutely the best at what she does, plus she is the sweetest and most genuine person you'll meet. Thank you so much, Mia!

Mia is the BEST!!! She is so sweet and made me feel so comfortable and beautiful for my sunrise elopement last month. She is very talented and turned my vision into a reality from seeing just a few inspo pictures. She met me at my hotel at 3:00AM on time and ready to go! She truly knocked it out of the park!
If you're looking for a hair and makeup artist on Kauai... she's your girl!! Highly recommend!!!

Absolutely book Mia!! We had originally planned to get married in May, but needed to switch things up for a smaller ceremony in November due to covid. Mia was flexible, communicative, and happily supportive every step of the way. She arrived the morning of the wedding with an extremely professional setup. If you needed or wanted it, she had it plus some!! I felt gorgeous inside and out the day of my wedding, and even had a touch-up kit for the day :) Above everything, her grounded, positive, and calm demeanor is lovely! I'm so grateful for her presence the morning of the wedding. She eased the big energy of the day, and I felt so grounded and beautiful. I grew up on Kauai and know many of the wedding vendors in the community. Hands-down, Mia is the BEST! Look no further to feel beautiful inside and out on your big day :)!

I was so nervous booking someone to do my hair and make up without ever meeting them. That's just kind of what you get when you plan a destination wedding. Mia was everything I could have wanted and more! She did a great job with both my hair and make up. She made me feel comfortable and beautiful on my wedding day. She was also great at communicating with me before the wedding. Mia even gave us recommendations of what to do on the island. I would highly recommend Mia for any wedding/special event!

Mia is the best! Getting my hair and makeup done with Mia was easily the smoothest part of my wedding day. I couldn't have been more pleased with how my hair and makeup turned out and Mia was a pleasure to work with. She even fixed my flower hair clip that the florist made way bigger than I requested. Hurry and book her! You won't regret it!

Mia is such a great and beautiful soul!! I went to Kauai to get married just me and my now hubby. No family, no friends.. just us. We wanted to focus on us but I was nervous about getting ready solo. Mia came in and spent the full 2 hours with me for hair and makeup. I loved the natural look I got and the care, time and effort she puts in! We chatted away and also had some quiet times so the whole experience helped calm my nerves and she was great company to have! She's one of those people you just want to be friends with. Very happy with all my wedding day picks!

After hours of research to find the best wedding hair and makeup artist on Kauai, I was lucky enough to come across Mia Moriguchi. Hiring her team was one of the easiest decisions to make.
I had the unique experience of being a wedding planner professionally for several years and THEN being a bride. I knew I needed to find someone that was talented, easy to talk to and fairly priced. She was super responsive and scheduled a trial to lock in the look, I couldn't have been happier! We booked her for Bride hair and makeup, 2 mothers and 4 bridesmaids and they made all of us feel beautiful!
She books up quickly so if you are looking for a super talented hair and makeup artist that TRAVELS for your wedding, you've found her!! Thank you Mia for being so terrific :)

If you're looking for someone to do your bridal hair and make-up, Mia Moriguchi is your lady! I couldn't have been more ecstatic with how my hair and make-up turned out.
First off, Mia is super responsive to emails. I had a ton of questions, and Mia always responded with good guidance.
Secondly, Mia was punctual (arrived 15 minutes early to set up) and came with print outs of the pictures I had sent her. Her level of preparation was very professional.
Finally, and most importantly, Mia replicated the hair and make-up I wanted perfectly! Everything held up throughout the evening, too.
Not only is Mia amazing at her craft, but she is also super sweet and calming (helpful on the day of your wedding!). So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and book her, as she is usually booked several months out!

Mia did my hair and makeup, as well as my bridesmaid's and mothers. She emailed me back immediately and had a positive, happy attitude. She was very professional and willing to work with our hectic wedding day schedule. She was a lot of fun to be around and really helped me to relax while we all got ready. Not only did I love my hair and makeup, but all 5 of my bridesmaids loved theirs as well! We all looked incredible in my photos and I couldn't have asked for anything better. I would definitely recommend the airbrushed makeup, as it stayed in place on a very hot and humid day. I would recommend her to anyone and would definitely hire her again!!!

I feel so blessed that Mia and her assistant Caitlin were available to do hair and make-up during my Kauai wedding. At the trial, she listened as I attempted to explain the natural look I hoped to achieve. She was the ultimate professional... very kind with a wonderfully calming presence (so comforting given the inevitable moments of pre-wedding stress). She absolutely nailed the organic elegance I was going for... I simply can't imagine having had anyone else. My mother and bridesmaids were equally blown away by their talent and sweet spirits. Thank you so very much Mia & Caitlin!

Mia/Caitlin were the best makeup/hair professionals I've ever had! Mia did my hair/makeup for my wedding day and she did it so perfectly. She listens to ideas and provides suggestions to enhance what you have and not mask it. I could not be more satisfied with the end result! She also did my bridesmaid's makeup and they all loved it, even the ones that do not wear makeup daily. Caitlin did the bridesmaid's hair and all came out beautiful! I absolutely loved how professional and friendly they were. We all chatted like longtime friends and they helped make the getting ready process easy/relaxed. We had a lot of fun getting ready! Thank you Mia/Caitlin!

Mia is AMAZING! She is SO kind and talented, and I could not be happier with my decision to hire her to do my hair and make up on my wedding day. At my trial, Mia put me completely at ease. I brought in a photo of what I thought was the perfect hair style, and she styled my hair even better than the photo! On my wedding day, she and her assistant showed up early (even though she was sick!) and worked their magic. Everyone was happy with the results. I got the airbrush make up and I'm glad I did; it lasted all night and I did not have to worry about it at all. And I loved my hair style almost as much as I loved my dress!
Hands down, Mia is the best hair and make up artist on Kauai (and probably in all of Hawaii). I will actually fly her stateside if I have another very special occasion. Mahalo nui loa, Mia!

Mia was the perfect match for my girls and I. I truly have never felt so beautiful in my life. She and her team took care of 5 bridesmaids, my mother and the MOG. They did both our hair and makeup. I was planning my wedding from California and Mia was always very responsive and informative. She is a real sweatheart and it was a pleasure having her be part of my big day.

Mia came to our condo to do the hair and makeup for our wedding and she went above and beyond our expectations! We are 2 brides and we wanted to be sure that we each got a different look and she completely succeeded with that. Both of us loved our looks!
She brought a helper to do our bridesmaids, and we were happy with her work as well. We even got our 6 year old flower girls' hair done- an experience she can't stop talking about!
The entire experience with Mia was perfect for our wedding day. She was so professional and thorough. She positioned the chair that she did the makeup in so that we looked out to the ocean - and this small detail is one of the many reasons I would absolutely suggest Mia. Not only is she a brilliant artist, she wants to help make your wedding day special.

I was THRILLED at the job that Mia and her assistants did on the hair & makeup of the bridal party. Everyone looked amazing in photos, and they really listened well to what we wanted. Mia and her team came to our hotel room prepared with printed out photos, which saved us time. Her prices were much lower than the prices at L.A.B. salon, and I was very happy with the end result. I would recommend using Mia Moriguchi for hair/makeup.
