A Kauai wedding beauty stylist has to work with some pretty windy conditions on Kauai!

Why should every bride see a Kauai wedding beauty stylist?

We conducted an interview with Mia Moriguchi, Kauai wedding beauty stylist and owner of Mia’s Haven in Lihue, Kauai. We asked her some questions about wedding hair and makeup, especially as it pertains to Kauai weddings. Below are the questions we asked and Mia’s replies.

Question: What is beauty styling exactly? Can you give me an idea of the scope of services you offer?

I offer makeup services as well as complimentary hairstyling.

Question: Why did you choose beauty styling as a profession?

I enjoy art and transformation.  I love to help bring out a person’s natural beauty through my work and seeing the joy and self esteem it brings them afterward.

Question: What’s different about doing beauty styling on Kauai, or beauty styling on Hawaii, compared with beauty styling elsewhere? Is there anything challenging about doing beauty styling on Kauai specifically?

With beauty styling in Hawaii you have to take into consideration the humidity, wind and heat. Hair does not hold curl as well in Hawaii, so the right products and appropriate styling methods are very important to ensure the clients’ hairstyle will last throughout the day/night. The same goes for makeup. Makeup must be set properly and the right products must be used to endure the Hawaii heat and humidity.

Question: Do you use special materials, colors or beauty styling products which are more resistant to humidity and heat, since many brides who come to you are doing outdoor Kauai beach weddings? Can you tell us a bit about them?

Yes I do.  I always use humidity resistant hair products and waterproof makeup.

Question: What are the things you enjoy most about doing beauty styling?

Being a part of such an important day in a person’s life!  I enjoying making my bride’s feel beautiful and confident!

Question: Why do you recommend a bride always get beauty styling done professionally for their wedding day?

Having your makeup and hair done professionally on your wedding day relieves the stress of doing it yourself. A Kauai wedding beauty stylist will also know the right kinds of product to use, as well as make sure that your makeup will be enough for photos.

Question: What does a bride getting married on Kauai need to know about getting her hair and makeup done?

The Kauai wedding beauty stylist professionals here are familiar with the climate of Hawaii and know what products and methods work best for it.
