Hair & Mkp-Beverly Kaneshige

Bev was so amazing! She and her daughter showed up on time and my makeup was pristine for my friends wedding. She is truly a gem of a human and I'm so glad I got to start the day off with someone who can take suggestions you give her and create something truly wonderful. I cried during the wedding and my makeup didn't budge. I am truly so grateful to have found Bev and look forward to utilizing her services for any future events I may have. Thank you Bev!

Bev was AMAZING! If your looking for a makeup/hair in Honolulu then chose Bev I am so thankful to Yelp for helping me find her, she did mine and my moms hair and makeup for my brothers wedding! I sent her pictures and she did exactly what we wanted the makeup and hair lasted longer than all night even held up with some rain and tears. We both got so many complaints on our looks. Bev was priced reasonably and even came to our hotel, she us also beautiful and we loved her conversation. I will use her every time I come. Thank you Bev for make it our day so special pictures to come from wedding soon.

Thank you so much for making my day so special. Here are pictures of her perfect work she and her staff did a wonderful job for all 14 bridesmaids and myself as the bride makeup and hair style. I would really recommend her and trust her skills. She knows very well what she is doing

I have to thank you Yelp reviewers for making Bev the obvious choice for me & my wedding party. I totally agree w/ all of the 5 star reviews. All I needed to do was show her the looks we liked. The three of us were very happy w/ our hair, makeup, her easy conversation, her speed, my included touch up bag, everything. As others have mentioned, she's quick and quick to make sure you're happy. She helps you w/ your dress & retouches if anything is out of place. Definitely choose Bev for your hair & makeup occasions. Thank you sooo much for today, Bev!

Beverly is the go to for hair and makeup! Love it that she can go on location to the house. I found her last minute a week before the event. And she's flexible and honest. Her prices was great and she communicates very well. I love how She keeps in contact and when she came over it was great! My daughter loves her hair and make up and so do I! We have very good conversations and she was nice!

Beverly and her crew did an excellent job for my wedding. They showed up early which I was grateful for because we were getting ready at Hale Ikena which is on Ft. Shafter and getting a day pass takes time. As soon as they were set up, we got started. We provided pictures of what the bridesmaids wanted for their hair and they pretty much matched the picture.

I also showed Beverly some examples of the hair styles I wanted and the end result was amazing. I told her I didn't want any hair touching my neck because I didn't want to feel hot and she delivered. Usually when I get my hair done by other people my hair tends to get loose where I need to use extra bobby pins to secure it because I have so much hair.

My hair did not need any touch ups or didn't need to be fussed with. I was so happy with my hair. For our makeup we wanted a more natural look. I don't wear makeup, so I feel if I use a lot of makeup it's not going to look good. That's why I wanted a more natural look. The job that Bev and her crew did was excellent. Everyone looked good and we were getting compliments all night.

Bev saved my wedding! After the makeup artist that had been booked for us failed to turn up, Bev travelled last minute, having finished another job on the other side of the island, to save the day. The thing is, despite the stress, I'm glad the other artist didn't turn up. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else. I can't imagine for a second anyone else could have been so obviously competent and level headed.

I felt calm the moment she arrived. She got straight to work giving me the look I wanted. I am dark skinned (caribbean descent) and she covered my skin beautifully with no sense of being rushed or under pressure. This work clearly comes naturally to her. I'm so glad she was part of our special day. Thank you Bev!

Bev is so wonderful! I always ask her to do my hair and makeup for photoshoots, and she goes above and beyond every time (even at 4am for sunrise shoots). She is very experienced, professional, and just the sweetest lady ever. Nobody has proposed to me just yet, but when I do finally get married she will absolutely be the one to do my hair and makeup. I trust no one else to make me look amazing for my big day :)

12 stars for Beverly! We decided last minute while we were in Vegas to get married instead of looking for a venue for next year. We had 1 day to prepare. I was so worried about getting a dress and shoes that I forgot about hair and makeup. I contacted Beverly late Tuesday and she met me at my hotel right on time on Wednesday. She is so sweet and I lived how Everything came out. She is in the process of transitioning to Vegas from Hawaii ad. I was glad I found her!

I have known Bev Kaneshige since 2007. I have nothing but the highest recommendation, love, and respect for her! Since then I have continued to come to her for my makeup and hairstyle needs including when I ran for the Miss Chinatown Hawai'i Pageant, Miss Hawai'i International Pageant, and the Ms. Hawai'i pageant as well as modeling for the Hawai'i World Class Wedding Expos. Bev is the best!

She is so caring and thoughtful; she will go above and beyond to ensure that you and your bridal party or friends will have a wonderful experience. If you need makeup for any special occasion including weddings, pageants, birthdays, or any other event, Bev is the lady to call! With more than 30 years of experience in the field of hair and makeup, you can be sure that she will reveal the beauty within you to the world!

Her pricing is the best I know and she has travel services available too! Also love her hairstyles, especially these updos! You will not regret booking her for your next special event!

My girlfriend has a very natural look and she doesn't normally wear makeup, so I'm used to seeing her without it. But she wanted to get her makeup done because someone had asked her to do a photo shoot. Beverly made my girlfriend look amazingly gorgeous! I couldn't stop looking at her.

Bev was amazing. She did hair and makeup for my wedding party. Everyone looked lovely, felt special, and her services are great value. I would book her again in a heartbeat.

I chose Bev to do my bridal hair and makeup and my bridesmaid's makeup because a couple of other people I know have used her before for their weddings. I did a trail for my hair and makeup which I definitely would recommend. I had showed her a couple of ideas that I wanted to do with my hair but all were pretty similar. When she was finished, I didn't care for the braid she made in the back of my head so she undid it and just put it into my bun.

I thought we were going to try multiple hairstyles but we didn't try anything else. The makeup was to my liking for the most part but I told her to go darker on my eyes. On the day of the wedding, Bev and her team came about 45 minutes early which took me by surprise as we were still having lunch. The bridesmaids started their makeup and I went last to do my hair and makeup.

Her assistant starting prepping my hair and makeup. When Bev came over to start my makeup and makeup, she didn't seem to remember what was done at my trial. I highly would recommend printing out pictures. My hair unfortunately didn't come out like how the trial was and my makeup was a lot heavier. I was a little overwhelmed so I just left it as it was.

Bev is great highly recommend her! Went to her for my bridal hair and makeup and had an awesome experience! She did exactly what I asked nice and simple I was really happy with results! Was easy to make appointment through the text message and she was fast and efficient and very affordable! I contacted a several artists for a quote and most of them charge almost twice then her.

Just because its bridal. But I wanted simple natural look and she gave me what I was looking for for a really affordable price! I'm glad I went to her my makeup was great and my hair survived through the whole night of party and dancing and the most amazing she didn't put a ton of hair spray so it was actually pretty easy to take it down without pulling a lot of my hair off. Thank you Bev

I had an intimate ceremony at sunrise in a private home and no bridal party, so I wanted one person to do my hair and make-up. I'm glad I picked Bev! She has a great portfolio and was very responsive via text, which made planning easy. The only time I was in Hawaii before my wedding was six months prior. Lots of people recommend doing a trial, and I'm so happy I did!

Before the trial, I sent Bev a bunch of hair and make-up photos from pintrest. My make-up was perfect, but my hair was another story. Bev did it exactly like the photos, however, I realized that while it looked amazing on the pintrist girls, I did not like the way it looked on me. I was discouraged because now I was back at square one. Bev was super patient with me and we played around with different hairstyles and changed it four or five times. I'm so grateful she took the time to figure it out, since at that point, I didn't know what I wanted.

She is extremely talented and knew what would look good on me. On the day of my wedding, I was a little nervous since it was so far from my trial; I wasn't sure if Bev would remember the look I wanted. But she took lots of pictures during the trial and my wedding day hair and make-up were identical. I also knew that Bev was planning an international trip the next day, so she must have been stressed out but she was on time (at 5:30am!) and everything was ready for sunrise. I was very impressed, and so happy with the way I looked! I did the airbrush foundation and everything looked great all day!

Absolutely amazing! Bev was recommended to me by my sister-in-law who used Bev for her wedding a couple years ago. Neither of us ever wear makeup so it was important that we had someone who understood that we wanted everything to look good for pictures, but nothing too heavy. Ultimately, I ended up booking Bev for hair and makeup for my mom and myself for my wedding and I couldn't have been happier! Bev is extremely responsive and easy to reach via email.

At the time of my wedding (December 2017), her current rates were $140 for hair/makeup for bride, $105 for bridesmaids, and $90 for mothers. There was also an additional $30 rate for travel to Waikiki. A trial session was $75. Since I don't wear makeup, I did a trial run with Bev a couple days before the wedding. The salon she works out of is located on King St. in the same plaza as Sweet Home.

During the trial run, Bev did my full hair and makeup. Hair was based off a couple sample pictures I showed her; makeup was solely based off of "natural because I never wear makeup." On the day of the wedding, Bev arrived bright and early at 6am and finished in her estimated amount of time. She was extremely easy to work with, make any minor necessary adjustments, and even provided a touch-up kit. I was extremely happy with how everything came out. The hair and makeup for my mom was absolutely beautiful as well!

Beverly did my hair and make up Sunday for my wedding and did an amazing job. I was very impressed with how beautiful she made me look. The compliments have not stopped coming. She also did a great job with the bridesmaids giving them all that beach wave curl. She showed up on a Sunday at 5:30am.who agrees to that?!? Only a true professional and artist. I highly recommend Bev and she's very reasonable.

Bev did my hair and makeup for my wedding. She had two assistants to do hair and make up for a total of 4 people, they were done in 2.5 hours. She arrived promptly and we were done with plenty of time before the wedding for touch ups and time to get ready. I have a weird choppy layered bob haircut and was scared of it looking outdated, but she did a wonderful job by curling all the layers and straightening the ends.

I also had individual flowers (it was supposed to be a headband, but I think the florist misunderstood me), but Bev was a pro at pinning it in my short hair and it made a really beautiful headpiece. My wedding was outdoors with high wind advisory, and my hair and flowers stood up to this weather! I had a make up trial with Bev, which I recommend because it helps to be on the same page and the day of the wedding is pretty hectic, and there may not be time for corrections.

She listened to what I had to say and didn't mind changing things I didn't like. The make up for the wedding was perfect. They also provided a touch up kit that included a whole tube of gloss, bobby pins, and blotting papers. Waiting for wedding pictures, will post later! Thank you Bev for doing a great job!

I've used Bev 4 times now, and she doesn't disappoint! She is extremely talented and SO quick! She's finished my hair AND makeup in under an hour! She gets really busy though, so make sure to contact her early to secure your appointment date/time! She's easily accessible and responds best through text. She is really good at what she does and has some of the best prices in town!

If you know what type of hair/make up you want, just send her a picture and she'll work with you to recreate your dream. She can do it all - wedding hair/makeup, hair/makeup for photoshoots, and stage hair and makeup. She uses an airbrush for even tones and even sends you off with a touch up kit (e.g. oil blotting sheets, comb, etc.). You can either ask her to go to the studio/hotel/whereever, or she also works from Salon Eclipz (next to Sweet Home Cafe). She now accepts cash, credit card, or check. Amazing job and price is on point!
