Sarah and her team did an amazing job in making me and all my VIP ladies look beautiful for my wedding. We were all crybabies at the ceremony and our makeup held up!! She was punctual and worked diligently and had all of us ready in time for pre-ceremony photos. Sarah and her team listened and delivered what every lady wanted for their hair and makeup. 10+ stars if I could. Hire Whik'd Hair and Makeup for your wedding.
Sarah was nice to work with and she did beautiful make up for me and my bridal party. I got so many compliments! I felt beautiful and radiant on my wedding day.
I was very disappointed! My hair was a very simple chignon. My make up was so subtle, it did not play up any of my highlights, like my green eyes. It looked like I didn't have any make up on....
Sarah from Whik'd did a really great job with my hair and makeup! At the trial, she helped me figure out that what I thought I wanted wasn't quite the same when applied to my face, and it really guided my look for the wedding day. I'm so glad I did the trial with her! Sarah and her colleague were hilarious and really made the day of relaxed and fun as my friends and I got our hair and makeup done.
The only thing I would have liked more of were pauses as the hair and makeup were being done (both for the trial and on the day of) to see if I liked the direction we were going on, and not just being asked what I thought at the end after everything was done. I didn't feel like I could give input as it was being done, and by the time it was finished, it was too late to change anything.
That being said, I loved the hair and I felt glamorous for my big day! They are real pros and definitely know what they're doing, and you'll have so much fun getting ready with them.
Sarah and her team did the hair and makeup for me (bride), my bridal party, and mothers - we were thrilled with how it turned out. Most of my bridal party and myself don't wear that much makeup on a daily basis (just eyeliner/mascara) so we weren't sure how to describe what we wanted. Using our vague descriptions, Sarah's team did wonderfully! I loved how the makeup enhanced my face, but it didn't look like I was wearing tons of product. The team of artists were on time and fun to work with. The best part - the makeup last ALL NIGHT! I got married outside next to the ocean and we had to wear masks on the dance floor due to COVID. At the end of the night I took my mask off and so many people told me my makeup still looked perfect!!
Sarah and her team are incredibly talented. I had the honor of working with Sarah for my hair/makeup. Sarah was so friendly and took time to get to know me as a person, my style, and look at my inspiration photos. She was so receptive to any feedback or requests I had so that I ended up with exactly what I was hoping for but better! I enjoyed getting to know her and especially loved how I looked in my photos. I highly recommend using Whik’d for events!
Sarah and her team were fantastic! We started planning way back in 2019 and had a year of reschedules due to COVID and other unforeseen circumstances, and Sarah was always accommodating with rescheduling the trial date and the wedding date.
I'm not particularly experienced with makeup (or hair, for that matter) but when I walked into Sarah's studio for my HMU trial, I was instantly put at ease by her friendly demeanor and professionalism! After showing her a couple of pictures, she instantly 'got' what I was looking for, and even threw in another awesome hairstyle for a photoshoot I had later in the day.
The day of, Sarah and her team showed up and were fantastic at responding to everyone's wants (I had HMU for MoB, MoG, and bridesmaids). My hair and makeup was even better than it was during the trial, and afterwards Sarah gave me a little touchup kit in case I needed it throughout the day - which, as it turned out, I didn't! The hair and makeup both lasted all the way to the wee hours of the morning! I can't recommend Sarah and her team enough!
I was in the best hands with Sarah and her team. I did my bridal trial a couple days prior to the wedding and her hair and makeup lasted alllll day. That was important to me because I know Island Humidity can change everything. Her team did my makeup and hair for myself, my mom, and 3 bridesmaids. They were so accommodating and everyone left so happy and beautiful! They also got my mom to be happy which is difficult enough. Sarah was amazing to work with! So personable, understandable, and amendable to ideas.
As someone who does not do her makeup very often, I was so grateful to have Sarah there to help me get ready on my wedding day! I actually did a trial run with her first in her home to get comfortable with what look I was going for on my big day. She was so friendly and welcoming! On the day of the wedding, Sarah and her team were able to do our hair and makeup for my three sisters, my mom, and me. Everyone was glowing and looked naturally gorgeous! Whik'd Hawaii made us all feel beautiful and confident plus she provided us with little touch-up kits in case we needed throughout the evening but we didn't end up having to use them. I loved her work and products so much actually ordered the makeup she used afterward to keep using and preserve my wedding glow when I get dressed up and take the time to do my makeup! I was so grateful to be able to have our wedding before the pandemic shut down and even more glad to have Sarah by my side while getting ready on our special day!
Destination weddings can be super exciting but also scary because you don’t get to meet your vendors before the big day. Our wedding planner recommended Sarah to us and after seeing her portfolio, I promptly booked her a year in advance. I had a makeup trial a week out from our wedding, which I also used for our pre-wedding photo shoot, and that’s when I knew I was in the best hands. Without giving her any inspiration, I asked Sarah to just do her thing on me and boy did she deliver! I honestly could not fault her work! Little did I know that Sarah would exceed my expectations on the wedding day! I have pretty low self-confidence but hands down I can say that I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day!! Everyone thought my makeup look amazing and even better, it lasted all night and did not need to be touched up!!! I would highly recommend Sarah for any bride to be – you will not regret it!! Not only is Sarah an amazing MUA, she is also one of the sweetest, friendliest and funniest people that you will ever meet. She even went above and beyond on my wedding day to help me get dressed whilst the important ladies in my life were getting themselves dressed :P
My wife and I barely wear makeup and honestly, sometimes I don't even brush my hair... So when we knew we needed to hire Hair & Makeup for our wedding day we were a little nervous.
We found Whik'd Hair and Makeup online and people only had great things to say about Sarah (owner) and her team of hair & makeup magicians.
On our wedding day Sarah and Moana came up to the North Shore (no travel fee) and made us and our 2 maid of honors so comfortable. We talked story, listened to music, and they helped us feel at ease. We all felt gorgeous!
One thing I learned throughout this process is that the type of makeup that is used is extremely important for wedding photos. It may seem like too much is put on your face, but don't question it! Our pictures were flawless and any blemish or flaw you thought you had will not show with Sarah's work. She's truly an artist and is so fun to work with!
Whik'd is AMAZING and I'm so glad I chose Sarah and her team for my destination wedding! She completely nailed my look and all of my bridesmaids were thrilled as well! Sarah and her team are not only amazing and obviously professionals, but they are efficient and have such a warm vibe.
I was planning my destination wedding from the mainland U.S. and relied a lot on cross-recommendations from other vendors. Whik'd was the only hair and makeup company that was highly recommended by a bunch of various , unrelated/unaffiliated sources: my wedding venue, my wedding planner, my photographer. Their reputation is unparalleled in Oahu! Thank you!
I loved working with Sarah and her team. The entire team was a lot of fun to be around, and they really catered to me, my bridesmaids and the moms. Sarah really listened to me and took my input into consideration. I felt so beautiful during my wedding day, and it was all because of Sarah. I would highly recommend Whik'd to anyone for any occasion.
Sarah is AMAZING!!!! I got my hair done by her as a bridesmaid and I knew immediately when it was my turn to get married that I wanted her and her team. I got 2 trials done before hand and she was great about flexibility with my schedule and helping me figure out what would look best for my hair type, length, face, dress, etc.. Each trial was beautiful, but nothing topped the day of the actual wedding- my hair was the talk among my guests! It was absolute PERFECTION!
Sarah and her team are amazing. They are bubbly and fun but oh so talented. We never felt rushed and they catered to everyone from my mother in law to my niece as our flower girl. I was impressed with my trial and felt so beautiful on the day. Sarah answered all my questions and emails. I would highly recommend.
Sarah was amazing!!! We did a trial run a few days before the wedding and it helped me decide to change a few things on the day of. She was super flexible and did the most amazing job. My mom and entire bridal party looked so amazing and it lasted the entire day (even in the humidity). I would hands down recommend her for your wedding. I loved the look and felt so incredibly beautiful. Thank you Sarah and team!!
Completely professional and personable. Absolutely loved my experience with Whik'd.
My hair and makeup were great! Sarah was super friendly listened to exactly what I wanted which was a classic look and delivered above and beyond. Usually when I have my hair up I end up with a headache and that didn't happen -- even with my hair up for over 18 hours!
Sarah and her girls are extremely professional, responsive, and talented.
My experience with booking was seamless and handled entirely by Sarah. Although Sarah did not actually do the hair and makeup on the day, she organised everything and made the whole process so easy.
The price is very fair for the services provided, especially by Honolulu standards. I paid for hair and makeup for 7.
The makeup and hair was done beautifully and they really paid attention to what each girl wanted.
The trial a few days before was also very helpful, and it was so convenient that they came to me.
If you are looking for an affordable, easy, and amazing experience, look no further than Whik'd for your Hawaiian wedding.
Sarah is AMAZING. She is fun, flexible, and fast. She makes great conversation and calms your nerves all while making you look beautiful. As someone who doesn't wear a whole lot of make-up, I really appreciated that she didn't make me or my mom look too overdone -- just enhancing the best parts to make us look and feel gorgeous. She even leaves you with a touch-up kit that keeps you looking fresh and photo ready! Pro-tip: book a make-up trial on Monday to test out some looks and save some cash.
Sarah, you were a total blast! Thank you for the most gorgeous wedding hair and make-up. Sarah made me feel completely relaxed right from the beginning. She captured the exact look I was going for, and I walked down the aisle feeling beautiful and confident all while looking natural enough to fit in with the landscape of our outdoor event. Plus, the look lasted well into the night, which is always a bonus. I couldn't recommend Sarah and Whik'd more highly!!
We planned our destination May 2018 wedding at Loulu Palm from abroad (UK and New Zealand). Planning a wedding from abroad, we made plans and vendor decisions based on reviews. We were blessed to find Whick’d hair and makeup!
Sarah was truly wonderful to work with. Sarah was responsive to emails, accommodating when adding more women for hair & makeup services, as well as to changes in timeline. Sarah was organized and efficient with a thorough hair & makeup timeline for the 10 women getting ready in 3.5 hours the day of the wedding!
I, the bride, had my hair and makeup trial 3 days prior to the wedding. Meeting Sarah for the trial put me at ease. Sarah was welcoming, easy to communicate with and the wedding look designed was beautiful!
On the wedding day, Sarah and her team were fantastic! The day was relaxing and fun. My bridesmaids, mother of the bride, mother of the groom, my grandmother and myself were simply blown away by our wedding looks! Our hair and makeup was beautiful and lasted throughout the ceremony, photos and dancing. Thank you for your expertise and making us all feel beautiful and confident!
Sarah was amazing at doing my hair and make up for the wedding. They hair trial was definitely worth it and I was able to figure out how I wanted my hair. Sarah and her assistant did all the make up and hair for my bridal party and she was so fun to be around. Everything came out wonderfully. I highly recommend them.
Sarah did my hair and my makeup, as well as my mother's makeup, for the commitment ceremony we had in Waimanalo in February. I could not have asked for a better experience- Sarah travelled to the house we were staying in, brought everything, and did an amazing job at listening to what we wanted and tailoring our makeup to us individually. She was perfectly prompt and got everything done efficiently, and was so much fun to hang out with. Leaving me with a touch up bag of lipstick and powder was genius. Would 100% recommend Sarah to anyone for any occasion.
Sarah and her team were AMAZING! She made my girls and I feel so comfortable. I was so relaxed the day of my wedding and they definitely set the tone the whole morning we were getting ready. She did my hair and makeup exactly how I wanted it and her make-up products stayed on the whole night (even till the next morning). If you are getting married in the Oahu area, Sarah and her team will take care of your every bridal glam need.
Sarah was amazing! She was very personable and exceeded every detail of our wedding day! We would definitely recommend her for all our beauty services!
Sarah and Jen did the makeup and hair for myself (the bride) and my bridal party for my wedding on Waimanalo Beach on Oahu.
Whikd knows Hawaii, the weather , and its effects on hair and makeup.
My makeup and hair was absolutely perfect, i felt beutiful, sexy, and confident. My makeup and hair lasted through the night for my beach wedding and reception.
Whikd is reliable, professional, and true artists.
Sarah and her team were amazing on the day of my wedding! They came on time and was a delight to be around! I definetly reccomend her for hair and makeup!
WOW! Whik'd Hair and Makeup is THE BEST. I booked with Whik'd over a year in advance for my destination wedding and right from the start they were fantastic with communication, schedules and ideas. Sarah and Jessica were not only amazing hair and makeup artists but wonderful people and so much fun. I didn't even have a trial and just brought pictures on the day and Sarah was able to create exactly what I had imagined. All the bridesmaids loved their hair and makeup too. Highly highly recommend. Thank you Sarah and Jessica!!
I hired Whik'd for my bridal hair and makeup for my destination wedding, and they were awesome! My stylist showed up that morning right on time and did an absolutely flawless job with everything, all from my on the spot picture inspirations! Better yet, they makeup was waterproof and I looked flawless the entire night, even after all the dancing we did! THANK YOU Whik'd!!!!
Alexandra did a phenomenal job transforming me, my mom, and my daughter into princesses on our big day. She was extremely friendly and did a great job on our hair and makeup. My daughter can be a lot to handle since she is 5 and likes to talk a lot but Alex didn’t seem to mind at all. Thanks so much for everything!
I used Sarah to do the hair and makeup for our entire bridal party for our wedding at Turtle Bay in September 2017 after getting a recommendation from a friend that also got married on the island a few years ago. She recommended Sarah without hesitation and I would do the same.
Even with changes to our bridal party, she was responsive and flexible, all the way up until the very last second. She and Alex were on time and professional....but without being stuffy or un-fun. On the real, if I lived on Oahu I would want to be friends with Sarah lol.
As far as the results...holy cow. I am a pretty low key person in my day to day. I work in a hospital and doing my hair and makeup doesn't make a ton of sense for me all the time. I could not have been more pleased with how I looked. It was exactly what I wanted. I felt so pretty and got complements all night long and NEVER HAD TO REAPPLY MY MAKEUP. LIKE...WTF?!?!?! I WAS DANCING, EATING, AND DRINKING...OUTSIDE. IN THE HUMIDITY. That is saying something!!
Mahalo nui loa!
Organising a wedding overseas you have to put a lot of trust in the vendors you are booking. I picked Whik'd due to their great reviews and they well and truly lived up to their name! I was so so happy with our hair and makeup! My makeup lasted all day, even after me balling my eyes out at the ceremony it still looked freshly done. The girls were so lovely and we had great chats with them during the getting ready process. Definitely book with Whik'd, you will not be disappointed!!!
I got both hair and makeup done for myself and bridesmaids and these girls were amazing!!!
Sarah and her team were absolutely amazing!! Not only did they make us look beautiful with hair and make-up but they fit right in and it felt like I had a few extra girlfriends getting ready with me and my bridesmaids. I planned my wedding from Kentucky and chose Whik'd based off of reviews and photos from the Knot, and I sure am glad I did! I loved everything she did for me on my wedding day. Communication was simple and we even facetime'd a couple weeks before the wedding so we could "meet." If you are searching for a hair and makeup team...look no further!
Sarah and her "Whik'd" team were absolutely AMAZING!! Not only did she make me look and feel gorgeous on my wedding day but my bridal party also looked STUNNING! After a night full of dancing all of our hair and makeup stayed 100% intact thanks to their expert application, and need I mention that she uses her own makeup line that she designs herself on all of clients!!! Her services are extremely affordable for the quality they produce and she offers a discount if your bridesmaids use her services too! If for some reason they want to do their own makeup and hair, make sure as the bride Sarah is styling you because you're look INCREDIBLE on your special day!!!
First let me start with Amazing! Sarah and her team made me feel stress free. I was originally supposed to have my makeup done by someone else, but unfortunately that did not work out. Only a couple months before the wedding and it's summertime. Also I'm getting married on 7/7/17. Needless to say I was stressed out. I looked at a couple website's and asked my wedding planner if she could recommended anyone, and she recommended whik'd. I was happy to see that because that was one of the website I really liked. To my suprise they were not fully booked for that day. So I set up a trial with Jennifer last minute. She is very sweet and welcoming. She did what I asked and changed what I didn't like. About a week before the wedding I wanted to add my mother on to do makeup and hair. I wasn't sure if we would be able to so close to the wedding, but it was no problem. The big day Jennifer and Erika came on time and went right to work, one did hair the other makeup. There were 5 of us, we were so ahead of time that we were able to add my sister-in-law on to do makeup. I changed one thing different on my hair and Jennifer had no problem doing. They did such an amazing job. My makeup and hair was exactly what I wanted. I definitely will us this company again in the future.
Great, FAST service! I was a little nervous about working with Whik'd initially only because I didn't get to meet the stylist before my wedding day and wasn't sure if one stylist would be able to complete full hair and makeup for both myself and my MOH within two hours but I was pleasantly surprised and very impressed! Cedrian was my stylist and was able to complete both hair and makeup for both myself and my MOH in the short timeframe and we looked flawless! After showing Cedrian pictures of the looks we both wanted and explaining the wedding theme to her she got to work and made sure were were flawless and in my MOH's case, within her comfort zone yet wedding ready. Cedrian was also fun, funny, polite and very professional the whole way through! I'd recommend Whik'd to anyone who needs wedding day hair and makeup!
Whik'd is truly a gem! I was extremely stressed out during wedding planning but during my Hair & Make-up trial a month beforehand, Sarah was the first vendor who actually made me feel excited and more at ease about the wedding day! She gave me amazing advice and is just extremely personable and also VERY talented. She did my hair and make-up so fast and it was absolutely gorgeous. I received so many compliments from just the trial! I'm also very particular about my eyebrows, that I had done it myself for the trial, but Sarah did such a good job that I trusted her completely on the big day!
Also, on the actual wedding day, Sarah and Jen were just really fun to be around. My bridesmaids and I just had the best time! Also, we are all of different ethnicities with different eye shapes, skin tones, and skin types and Sarah and Jen were masters at making us look amazing but still look like ourselves!
I highly, highly recommend Whik'd. You will not be disappointed!
Sarah and the team at Whik'd are amazing! They were able to accommodate my large party (10 people) who all wanted hair and makeup services. They arrived early and were finished just on time. Sarah is amazing! I absolutely loved the way I looked on my wedding day! I had to battle wind, humidity, and sweat and my hair and make-up held up through it all. I loved Whik'd!!!
Sarah and her team totally rock!! They did such an amazing job with our hair and make-up. We were all amazed. They are very professional, fun, and managed to stay within four timeline. With or without a trial run, you can't go wrong with Sarah!!! Amazing work and amazing person!!
Sarah was so easy to work with. I planned my destination wedding from Michigan, not meeting the stylists or doing any trial runs before the big day. I even changed my mind last minute and decided to put my hair up instead of leaving it down because it was so hot new humid out. Sarah didn't even bat an eye. She completed my make up and up-do to perfection and far exceeded what I imagined. Beyond that, she and her stylists efficiently and artistically completed make up and up-dos for 7+ women. I can't say enough great things and would highly recommend their services. Thank you again SO much!
Sarah did a fantastic job with my hair and makeup! I'm so glad I got the chance to book with her! My friend and I loved talking with her during the process and hearing her stories (so jealous your friends were on LOST!).
Sarah and Jennifer were absolutely amazing, there was not even one thing that I could fault.
From the very fist contact that I had with Whik'd, Sarah was quick to reply and always answered any questions that I had and she made everything so easy from start to finish.
On the day, Sarah and Jennifer were on time and were so quick to make my bridesmaids, my mum and MIL look absolutely beautiful and when it came to my hair and makeup, Sarah did such a great job, I showed her a couple of photo's of what I was after and she took it all in and recreated the exact look that I was after. I wouldn't have changed a thing.
I would definitely recommend Whik'd, not only for the perfect hair and makeup they create, but Sarah and Jennifer were so much fun to have around on our wedding day!
I do not have enough words to describe how amazing Sarah and her team are! They made my bridesmaids and I look absolutely beautiful. I was a bit nervous planning a destination wedding and even through email, Sarah made sure to make me feel so comfortable. We were able to schedule a trial so we could lock down my wedding day look, as well as get to know each other. I knew after the trial she was fantastic, but it was on the day of that she just showed us even more how awesome she was. The team completely worked with our schedule, and were timely and efficient at getting everyone ready and looking their best. Her and her team did such a great job on hair and makeup, and could do such a variety of looks and styles. Sarah was so fun and calm during the whole day that it made me get rid of all my wedding day jitters. For any bride looking for someone to do your hair and makeup, I highly recommend Whik'd!
Sara was amazing. She did my hair and makeup exactly as I wanted. She did my bridesmaids hair perfect. Everyone looked amazing for my wedding. She worked so quickly and was very kind and professional. It was perfect that she came to us so we did not have to leave the property. Out of all my vendors, I was most pleased with Whik'd!
Sarah was awesome!! She is very versatile and very open minded. She made my whole experience relaxed and she went beyond the call of duty.
Sarah is a gifted, skilled and talented Makeup artist and hair stylist. I could not have asked for a more incredible experience. I went to Hawaii to elope with just my husband,so the pictures and announcements were the most important and critical detail to me and how I looked in them. I have had my hair and makeup done a million times for parties and weddings, even as an attendee. I can say without hesitation that Sarah's work is the most perfect I have ever seen myself look. I would HIGHLY Recommend her to anyone, she is beyond brilliant and I looked so gorgeous according to friends and some critical family. ;) I love Sarah and am so grateful to have found her.
Sarah and her team were nice, funny and super professional.
They were on time and actually finished our makeup early than expected.
My bridesmaids and I looked marvelous!!!
I already recommended her to my friends that are getting married!
Sarah was beyond AMAZING for the entire process, beginning with the initial contact, and the way through the actual service date!
Because I do not know anyone in Oahu & because I would not have an opportunity to visit prior to my wedding date, I had to make the Hair/makeup decision from afar. I went solely off of reviews & when I came across Sarah's reviews, I was very impressed. I reached out to her & she contacted me back right away! She was very personable & very sweet & quick to reply to my million questions. She was also VERY accommodating & very professional.
On the day of, she arrived to my location early & ready to make a miracle out of me! And what a miracle she did! Her eye makeup skills are amazing! That airbrush foundation felt soooo good on & looked fabulous! The lashes stayed on all day, despite the heat. She was giving me tips on what works best for my face structure, and my eyes as she was applying my makeup. I loved that! And my hair... I have never rocked such awesome hair in my life! I gave her my thoughts & "inspirations" for what I wanted & she NAILED it! I felt so beautiful & so put together & my hair & makeup stayed intact the whole day & night. I feel blessed to have had such great luck in choosing her!
Ladies, seriously, look NO further! Sarah at Whik'd Hair & Makeup Hawaii is your girl! I promise you - you will NOT regret it!
I worked with Sarah O and she was awesome. She came all the way out to the north shore for my trial and was super talented. Her work was so amazing that other bridesmaid who were originally going to do their own hair and make-up decided to have her do it the day of the wedding. She showed up both days early and with a wonderful attitude. I would recommend her to anyone!!!
Sarah was great to work with. She quickly responded to emails, showed up right on time, and did a wonderful job!
One of my bridesmaids and I got our hair and makeup done by Sarah. She was done ahead of schedule and both came out great. She was fun to talk to and also listened to what we wanted.
Couldn't have asked for more!
I would highly recommend Sarah to anybody getting married in Hawaii, she was great! I was unsure about what I wanted but she managed to do my hair and makeup better than I could have tried to explain. Very flexible and comfortable to work with, she also did my two bridesmaid, my mother and mother-in-law and everyone was very satisfied with their looks for the big day!
Just a quick note to thank Sarah and Rhiannon... I eloped in Hawaii, found these lovely ladies via this site and everything was smooth, professional and long lasting... the makeup survived a long day and the hair even held up during the chopper ride!! thanks again ladies... really pleased
Planning a destination wedding is stressful, and trying to plan hair an make up with out having a trial or even meeting the stylist before the wedding was one of my main causes for anxiety, but Sarah from Whik'd put all that anxiety at easy. She was very prompt with returning emails and even had a FaceTime meeting with me so that we could be as face-to-face as possible. The day of the wedding it was wonderful to have her come to our resort. She was on time and worked within our schedule. She is so talented and was able to take the looks we liked from photos and make them work perfectly. The air brushed make up was wonderful for the Hawaii heat and looked flawless in all the photos from morning to night. And to top it all she has a great sense of humour and was so personable that the morning was full of laughter.
We found Sarah online and was nervous about never having a trail with her or anything. Sarah was on time professional, responsive and made us feel at ease. She did the hair for the mom's and my hair and airbrush makeup. It turned out beautifully and I would definitely recommend her without hesitation.
My title encapsulates most of my experience with Whik'd Hawaii. Initially, I met Sarah, the owner, at my friend's wedding in July 2013. I was a bridesmaid and Sarah and her team did our hair and makeup. It was fabulous!
Then, for our engagement shoot in October, Sarah once again did a wonderful job.
Lastly, for our wedding on January 11th, 2014, Sarah and her team took care of me, my four bridesmaids, and my mom!! I couldn't have asked for more - we had so many compliments!!
The best part was Sarah and her team were always on time and immediately ready to get the show on the road! As professional as they were, they were so much FUN to work with! Their skills never faltered even with all the jokes and storytelling going back and forth between me and my girls and Sarah and her girls! It was nice to laugh and relax even as we were rushing to get ready.
If you're on the fence about whether to get a hair and makeup person for your wedding, remember that the photos you take that day will be cherished the rest of your life. It will be worth every penny you spend....trust me!
Thank you Sarah!! You helped to make our day even more beautiful!!
P.S. I almost forgot to mention that Sarah will come to you (without any ugly fees) and will also provide you with a handy-dandy touch up kit for freez!! Minor details, yet so very awesome!
Sarah and her team was amazing. First off, she was always easy to contact via e-mail which was super helpful since I live in Vegas and wasn't able to meet her in person prior to the day of the wedding. I was a little weary of that part (not meeting her until the day of) but as soon as I met her and her team, I felt like we knew each other for years. Her other two girls were Cheryl and Leesa. Her team fit right in with my girls too, they were all laughing and smiling and having a great time. We had one bride and 5 bridesmaids to do. Prior to the wedding day, Sarah put together a timeline to get everyone done by a specified time that I provided. She and her team got all six of us done in exactly the right time. Our hair and makeup looked so amazing! The makeup didn't feel caked on, but really enhanced everyone's face and each of our different features. My girls weren't exactly sure what they wanted to do with their hair or makeup, but Sarah came prepared with a variety of pictures on her iPad and we just picked what we wanted and her team made it happen. We looked exactly like the pictures. Our makeup lasted the whole night and up until the next day. I didn't want to wash it off, it looked so good even the next morning. My hair stayed put for the most part, but with all the humidity, it was tough. My girls and family were so amazed! My groom loved it so much he said... can I do the make up like this more often. One more note, if you're like me... I'm a little on the plain side when doing makeup, but Sarah and my girls talked me into doing the false eyelashes... my tip: Definitely! They enhanced the entire look. Everyone told me I looked beautiful that day and I felt beautiful too. I'm a little frugal too, but am willing to pay for good quality items. I felt like every penny I spent on Sarah and her team was well worth it and would do it all over again! Thanks Whik'd!!!
If you don't hire Sarah and Whik'd Hawaii... you will be sorry.
I could not have imagined I could ever look as beautiful as I did -- it was all hair and make-up! Sarah was the easiest, most relaxed and fun person to work with. I sat back and let her do her thing and the results ... WOW!
Sarah was right on time, super professional, and put me at ease the second I shook her hand. I flew in from the mainland for my wedding and never met her or did a formal consult. All of our communication was via email and I never worried for a second because from my first email inquiry, she was quick, thorough, and professional. I sent her a few pictures of myself so she could see my face shape, hair length, and bone structure, and then a few pics of hair styles I liked. That was it.
I cannot recommend Sarah and Whik'd Hawaii highly enough! She made my wedding day so relaxed and the touch-up kit she gave me was perfect for when I got a little shiny from the humidity. She also did my mother and my Officiants' hair, and they looked fantastic!
How easy can it really be? Sarah makes it so convenient, she comes to you! Sarah's as on time and ready to rock. I t took very little explanation for her to get my makeup perfect. I showed her a pic of what I wanted for my hair and she was off to the races! She used airbrush foundation which stayed in place the whole day and even provided me with a cute little touch up kit.
Sarah and her team are so professional and talented. I was so happy to have them do my hair and make-up for me and my bridal party and the price was more than affordable. My only issue was no concealer. I had a few stress pimples that the air brush didnt cover and i wished some concealer were used. But overall i couldnt have asked for a better glam squad.
I've never got professional make up before so I was little nervous about it. I asked Sarah to do natural make up. Seriously NATURAL since I didn't want to look like a different person on my wedding day. She listened to me very carefully and she did fantastic job!! I highly recommended to do a trial with her also. I could tell exactly how I would feel on my wedding day and could make some changes too. My make up and hair stayed same all day. I was more than 100% satisfied with her job! Thank you Sarah!
I travelled around parts of the USA prior to attending my friend's wedding in Hawaii last month (Sept 2013).
I contacted Sarah from Whik'd Hawaii to have my hair and makeup done for the wedding. I chose Sarah's site because it looked modern and not old fashioned. My instincts were correct and Sarah did a fantastic job, I even had a few people in the lift at my hotel give me compliments (which was great!). The charges were very reasonable, also included visiting me at my hotel.
It was nice to get pampered and dress up for a wonderful occasion!
I would recommend Sarah to anyone, if I was ever to get married in that location I would contact her straight away, and I live in Australia!
Thanks Sarah, it was lovely to meet you.
As a mainlander over 8 hours away, I had to leave a lot of trust in my wedding planner and not being able to do a trial run of hair and make-up stressed me out a little. I have had my hair and make-up done numerous times over the years (dances, modeling, pageants, etc.) and I know the wrong shade of blush or the wrong contour of eyeliner can make or break your photos. I have no idea what I was so stressed out about SARAH O IS AMAZING. I have honestly never looked or felt more beautiful in my entire life. My hair and make-up held up all day in the humidity and all night through a serious post-wedding dance party :) I wish I could keep her in my pocket and take her with me wherever I go. She is truly an artist.
As a foreigner marrying in a Hawaii, it was scary not knowing which services to use for our day. Thankfully the wedding company we used sent the gorgeous Sarah my way.
Her friendly & engaging nature put me at ease immediately and had me so relaxed on what can otherwise be a stressful day for any woman. I felt like I was in the company of an old friend.
My hair an makeup could not have been more perfect. I got exactly what I wanted ... and more. I'm not photogenic at all but we did not have a single bad photo, thanks in large to Sarah's fantastic work. I'm a bit of a tomboy normally, and my husband could not believe the transformation. He was brought to tears. I felt the most beautiful I ever have. I myself still can't believe the change into the beautiful bride Sarah helped me become. I can't stop looking at our photos.
We keep saying we want to return to Hawaii and do it all over again. It was so amazing.
Would I use Whik'd Hawaii again? You betcha, I wouldn't hesitate.
Would I recommend Whik'd Hawaii to you? I wouldn't recommend trying anywhere else.
She was super friendly and easy to work with. I have never felt so pretty. I loved how she did my hair and makeup!! hair and makeup was still flawless at the end of the night, and it was an outside wedding. Would definitely work with her again, she was awesome!
I recently worked with Sarah from Whik'd for my Oahu destination wedding. I had a trial for the engagement shoot and the wedding day makeup/hair done. Sarah was great and listened to what I wanted and made suggestions for what would work well in the Hawaiian heat. We exchanged emails when I decided to change up the makeup and hair looks for the wedding day and she was prepped and ready to do the new look on the day. Working with Whik'd was easy in terms of scheduling, payment, and navigating their website. I also had a blast chatting with Sarah, who was friendly and very personable. This was a great vendor find!
From my initial contact to the day of the wedding, Sarah was very responsive to all my emails. She was on time the day of the wedding. She was very fun and made everyone feel very comfortable. I loved my hair and make-up and it lasted all day. I would recommend Whik'd Hawaii to all my friends & family.
Seriously, I cannot say enough good things about these women. Sarah, the owner, is a wonderful woman. The second they got to our hotel room for hair and makeup, the positive energy and happiness just enveloped the room. I would not have wanted any other makeup and hair team to work with myself and my family on the big day. They are amazing and Sarah made me look so wonderful, my husband says that he's never seen me look so beautiful. Myself, my maid of honor, my mom, and my mother-in-law felt like a million bucks.
Thanks, Sarah!!! I can never repay you!
Sarah was so personable and easy to work with. She always responded to emails and phone calls. I opted to do a trial run with her just to ease my mind. I was very happy with the trial and twice as happy on the day of the wedding. I did the trial at her place and the day of she came to my hotel room. Even with Honolulu traffic she showed up at exactly the time we had agreed on. She used waterproof makeup and I never once had to touch up throughout the day. She kindly provided me with a little touch up bag with hairspray lipstick bobby pins a small sponge everything I would have needed except she did such a good job other than the lipstick I never needed the other items. Her prices are comparable if not lower than other stylists. If you are looking for someone for your special day I would without a doubt recommend Sarah!
Sarah is absolutely amazing in every way!
1. She's not on time, she's early!
2. She's organised
3. She's a fast perfectionist
4. She LISTENS to what you actually want
5. She is easy going and you won't regret having a stress free relaxed day.
6. She actually answers the phone, answers emails quickly and communicates excellently!
7. BONUS-she's not charging a fortune either!
Everything from the beginning was a breeze with Sarah, she answered the phone, gave me an excellent simple quote, i paid and from then she was waiting in the lobby at the hotel half an hour early for my trial! She's so friendly that you wont feel uncomfortable asking her anything. She turned up on the wedding day and did my makeup and 5 other ladies, we all looked stunning. I didn't have to stress about running lat, actually the men were running late and the ladies were ready thanks to Sarah. Before finding Sarah i called the other 4 most popular companies, LA Glam, Maleana, Flaunt, Makeup by Bev and I was desperate to find the right person to use....all of the above we either overpriced, wouldn't return phone calls, would take weeks to reply emails and only the first one, or some of their reviews made them seem unreliable....some of them even copy each others photos on their websites. I HAD NONE OF THESE PROBLEMS WITH SARAH! SARAH IS AMAZING IN EVERY WAY AND I CAN'T STRESS TO ANY BRIDE WHO IS PLANNING A WEDDING ABROAD (I ORGANISED MINE FROM AUSTRALIA) THAT SARAH IS NUMBER 1...NO JOKE! If anyone wants photos of the brilliant job she done on us, feel free to email me cjlouie@hotmail.com
I have to be honest, I was picky.
I got Sarah to change my hairstyle a few times during the hair trial, and on the day of my wedding, went with a completely different look for both hair and makeup. Through it all, Sarah was easy-going, accommodating, and VERY patient. In the end, I loved my hair and makeup, as did my sisters. Sarah and Rhiannon did a fantastic job.
Sarah was so easy to work with in planning our North Shore Oahu destination wedding. She was fun, flexible, and helpful, and didn't even upcharge us for the drive to the North Shore. Her rates were very affordable. She and her assistant, Rhiannon were timely, professional, and best of all, SKILLED! They did an amazing job on all of us, and as as the bride, I felt truly gorgeous! I just loved the smoky eye that she did with a light dusting of purple that I requested. It made my green eyes pop! The custom airbrushing was natural and flawless. I hated to wash the make up off at bedtime. I've never had such a beautiful make up application before. Loved it! My hair turned out amazing as well and both hair and makeup had no problem staying put for the entire afternoon/evening. I definitely recommend that you say, YES to Sarah at Whik'd for your wedding.
When my fiance and I got engaged, we looked at several different local options in the Los Angeles / Santa Barbara area. However, we ultimately decided on a destination wedding in Hawaii (specifically Oahu).
The hardest and most stressful part for me was finding a hair & makeup person. I was so lucky to find Sarah! Since NONE of my family and friends were able to attend for various reasons, I needed someone who was willing to go above and beyond the call of duty! Right off the bat, she was very easy to communicate with. She promptly responded to my e-mails and answered all of my questions.
The day of my wedding, she showed up to my hotel room 10 minutes early and immediately got to work! She set up her table and equipment and talked me through some hair & makeup options. She understood what I wanted which made the process easy for me! While she was doing my hair & makeup, we had a great conversation. She was really cool, personable and professional. It was a completely stress-free situation! In addition, she helped me get into my corset-style dress, and even took pictures of myself and my fiance as we saw each other for the first time in the lobby of the hotel.
Sarah, thank you SOOOO much for making our special day fantastic! My hair and make-up was fabulous and I really appreciated all of your help!
I highly recommend Sarah and her Whik'd company!!!!!!
Sarah was awesome !! she was prompt in replying her emails. very professional !! she did an amazing job on our make up and hairs. thanks for everything.. :)
Sarah and her team were awesome! I got married at the Aulani on Oct 6th and I had a big party to get there hair and makeup done (there were 9 of us!). The whole time none of us were rushed, everyone was fun, and it was just a really relaxing environment. All of my bridesmaids more beautiful a long with my mom and mother in law. And of course I was the most beautiful of all! The makeup and hair lasted all night! Sarah and her team did a great job at listening to what everyone wanted a delivered. Highly recomment Whik'd Hawaii for any event where you want to look just a little more specail then normal. :)
Sarah did a hair and airbrush makeup trial for me before my wedding and I was SO happy with it! I felt afterward that I didn't even need a trial with her as it was perfect - just the way I had hoped and imagined it would look! She has much talent! ;) The wedding day, my hair stayed curled and in place, but still the beachy look I had wanted. I was hot, sweaty and teary all day and my makeup lasted. I kid you not, I only blotted once with a sponge from the little touch up kit she leaves you. She was so fun and sweet and she really put me at ease! I'd love to see her next time we're in Hawaii! Thanks a million Sarah!
Ladies, I know planning a destination wedding can be scary. Whik'd Hawaii / Sarah is amazing. She was on time, easy to contact, and did a great job on my hair. My wedding was on the beach at noon. My hair and makeup stayed all day and night. I didn't know exactly what I wanted, but I knew what I didn't want. Sarah created a modern hair style that was better than anything I could have thought of myself. My makeup was flawless and beautiful.
Stop looking for a hair and makeup artist and book Sarah now. Trust me you will not be sorry.

Sarah did a wonderful job!! Soo nice and easy to work with. I loved my hair, it came out exactly how I had hoped and held up all night. It was such a pleasure working with her.... going to recommend her services to ALL my friends!! :)
Sarah was amazing!! My bridesmaids and I absolutely loved our hair and makeup - they were gorgeous. I met Sarah for a trial first and she was very responsive to suggestions and refining the look so it was exactly what I wanted. She travelled to us on the day and was right on schedule. She was so professional yet fun during the whole experience. It couldn't have been more perfect. She even provided me with a touch up kit. The hairdo lasted all through the party, and the makeup was perfect as well.
Sarah did my hair and make-up on 16 June 2012 and she was able to capture my vision on how exactly I wanted my hair and make up. Together with Rhiannon and SL who did my daughter, 3 bridesmaids, and my sister's (Matron of Honor) hair and make up, they were able to capture what I wanted for me and my girls. They showed up on time and work with us based on our individual styles (and preferences) and needs. I would highly recommend them to anybody! They are so professional and so easy to work with. Thank you so much Sarah for making me beautiful and feel beautiful on my wedding day! Everybody loved the hair and makeup! Thank you! : )
Sarah did an amazing job with my hair and my mother's hair for my wedding day. It was exactly what we wanted and I couldn't have been happier! She was so easy and fun to work with. From the beginning Sarah was so prompt in replying to my emails and questions. Her positive attitude and professionalism was apparent from the first time I had contacted her. Thanks so much Sarah for making me look and feel amazing!
Sarah was very professional, accomodating and creative helping me look my best for my last-minute beach wedding. She really took the time to talk with me to gage my personality as well as what type of look I was trying to achieve. She surpassed my expectations and I felt beautiful and confident the entire day. An added plus, I was suffering from pre-wedding jitters and having her to talk to and help me get ready was a god-send. Thank you Sarah, I looked and felt amazing, thanks to you and your team for exceeding my wedding day expectations!
My fiance and I decided for a quick beach wedding, with two weeks to plan. I had no idea where to turn for hair and makeup. My cousin suggested that I give Sarah a call... i was nervous to book an appointment without a trial run, but it turned out amazing! I received so many compliments, especially on how my skin looked! I have troublesome skin and Sarah made it look just perfect. She is also super-responsive and friendly. Great job all around.
I found Sarah on-line while I was out of country. I emailed her and she got back to me right away. Every time I emailed her with another change, she responded right away with a solution. She really listened to what I wanted so that I got exactly what I envisioned. Her and her team were punctual and professional, but warm and fun at the same time. I would highly recommend her services to anyone. She was great!
Sarah did an amazing job with my hair and make-up for my wedding day. All my guests complimented on my natural look and hair style. I will always look back at my wedding pictures and be happy that I chose the right person for my hair and make-up. Sarah was extremely professional and talented. She took her time and gave me options/ideas for my beach look during the process. I highly recommend her for any special event.
Sarah and her assitant were wonderful! They ccame to our hotel on time with everything we could have needed! Our hairstyles and makeup were amazing! To top it off she gave me a touch up kit that saved me later in the evening as I forgot "mascara isn't completely waterproof!" Thank you Sarah for giving me the look of my dreams and making me feel like a princess
Sarah and her team did a wonderful job for all my bridal parties. Great timeline, great hair and great make up. All my parties loved their hair and make up.
Sarah is a fast responder. Love working with her. She is very flexible, as long as communicate with her, she will try to work something out.
