I feel so fortunate to have had MIA do my make-up & hair on my wedding day! She also did hair & make-up for my bridesmaids and a few other family members. I had 48 guest at my wedding and many were impressed with Mia's work! She really did a fantastic job! Mia traveled to my hotel room the morning of and was extremely punctual and easy to work with. Most importantly she listens to you and delivers! Her fees are extremely competitive and her service was above and beyond! I highly recommend to show her photos of what you are wanting your hair and make-up to be. 5 Stars for Mia!

" I cannot say how appreciative I am that I was refered to Mia's Haven for my wedding hair and makeup. She is so friendly, professional, and talented at what she does. I had a couple simple photos and she matched them perfectly, but also added her own personal touch. I have worked with various stylists before and she is right up there with the best. My wedding was by far one of the best days of my life and Mia helped make that happen. THANK YOU MIA!"
-Christina Lecuyer
"My experience with Mia from start to finish was incredible. I planned my Kauai destination wedding by myself and mostly online. I appreciated Mia's quick responses to my email inquiry and to all my questions. She really took the time to make me feel comfortable about booking her for my hair and makeup on such an important day. On the wedding day, Mia arrived early and was extremely pleasant and professional. My hair and makeup looked great and lasted all evening. She kept it relatively natural and classic, as I requested, but I have never felt more beautiful. I highly recommend Mia to any bride wanting to look her absolute best on her wedding day!
- Mayta Stow
I could not be more thrilled about my experience with Mia on my wedding day! She made the process so easy and relaxing. I felt beautiful and LOVE how my makeup looks in photos. Mia is so sweet and patient I would highly recommend her to any bride!

Mia's talents made me feel as pretty as a princess on my wedding day in Hawaii. She did an amazing job, better than I could ever hope! She also was the nicest lady! I would hire her again in a heart beat! If you are in the Hawaii area I would strongly suggest you hire her!!!!
- Rachel Quinlivan
With my "destination wedding" in Hawaii, I did my research and found Mia via both word of mouth and the internet - it proved to be an amazing tool. Mia was both economical, flexible, and generally AMAZING in every way. She not only worked with me in terms of my VERY tight schedule, but she was incredibly communicative and offered her artistic, aesthetic, and professional input in every step of the way. I gave her a picture of what I was thinking of - and she made it happen! Her patience, diligence, and expertise is something that is missing with others (of which I have experienced in others' peoples weddings). I would recommend Mia with ANY event! But please, let the photos of her work be the proof of her skills!
- Sharon Orick
I can't thank Mia enough for the fantastic hair and make-up work on my wedding day! My husband and I decided to elope, which made our photos so important for family and friends back home. I did not have a strong idea for what I wanted and Mia was able to make the perfect suggestions and work her magic! Mia's professionalism and speedy service was so very appreciated, she took the stress out of the preparation! Our day was perfect and I would highly recommend Mia's services to ANY bride!
Cheers,
Lisa Benoit-Quade
I can't say thank you enough for making our wedding day so magical! Mia is truly a talented makeup artist. I've had such a hard time of finding an MUA who could create the look I was going for. I wanted a flawless finish with colorful eyes and a healthy glow. She did it! I felt absolutely beautiful for my husband-to-be and everyone loved it. ^_^ As both a photographer and a model I knew how crucial makeup would be in creating awesome pictures. Ours turned out everything we could ask for. Thank you Mia!

Hello Mia,
How are you? We had a really great time on Kauai and now we are back in the rainy Germany;)
I just want to thank you for all for example for the best makeup ever:) I send you a few pictures with this email.
The best wishes!

"I have known Mia for 2 years. She is a genuinely nice person and a great friend to have! I was blessed to have her as my make up artist for my wedding. She is talented and did a wonderful job enhancing all my bridesmaids outer beauty. What I appreciated the most about Mia was her professionalism. She definitely knows how to take care of business! She is great at managing her time, working under pressure, and delivering quality work. She is also a very calm individual; therefore, leaving her clients relaxed and prepared for that special occasion."

Hi Mia!
We had an amazing day! I got lots of compliments, and my hair held all night. Normally my hair doesn't co-operate with anyone, so thank you for your magic and hard work. It looked better than the picture I brought as a suggestion! Hope 2011 treats you well :)

“Mia is an amazing makeup artist! I hired Mia for my wedding, and she was very personable, showed up early, was very well prepared, managed her time extremely well and did an amazing job on not only myself, but for my 3 bridesmaids as well. Anyone planning a destination wedding to Kauai/Oahu should definitely contact Mia. Your wedding day can be stressful enough as is, but Mia came to my hotel room, which took the stress of having to find a nearby salon to get ready in completely away.”
-Lynda Grevelink
Everyone in my wedding party was so happy with how their hair and make-up turned out - especially me! It was so nice that you were able to come to the wedding site to get us all glammed up! It allowed us to relax and enjoy the whole day - stress free. Even though my hair was short, you did a wonderful job creating just what I asked for, and it held up late into a night of dancing. Also, of course, the morning of the wedding, I woke up with a giant zit on my chin, but you were able to cover it up, and it's totally invisible in the pictures. I've never felt as beautiful as I did that day - thanks to you! My mother, mother-in-law, flowergirls and bridesmaids were also thrilled with their hair and make-up. Everyone looked gorgeous! I can't thank you enough!
Best of luck to you in the new year!

"I had just moved to Maui and I was dealing with the stress of not just the move, but also having to plan a wedding. To make matters worse, my new job didn't pay as much as my old job, so there was a lot of pressure to make cuts in our wedding budget. Fortunately, Mia's prices were very reasonable, and after looking at her online portfolio I knew that I would be getting more than my money's worth. Being on different islands made me a bit nervous because I knew there wouldn't be time for a trial run, but I trusted my instincts. The results were amazing! I had a morning wedding, so she finished my hair and make up around 6 am or so. I was worried because it had to last the whole day, and I knew we were going to take sunset photos on the beach at 6:30 pm. Mia provided me with a touch up kit to use throughout the day in case I needed it. Amazingly, I didn't even touch the touch up kit! Our beach photos turned out great (despite it being 12 hours after Mia had done my make up and hair!), and I didn't even do so much as to reapply lip gloss! Mia is truly an artist with quality products, and I thank her so much for making me look amazing on the happiest day of my life."

Hi sweet Mia!
"We are doing great back home in Austin, Texas! As for my wedding day makeup/hair - it was fabulous. The whole experience was great. I wasn't feeling all my best due to allergies, had a break out on my face, and my contact was bothering my right eye. When you arrived, you were so kind and we got along great. You knew from my emails what I wanted and got to work on my vintage style makeup and hair. I enjoyed talking with you, laughing, and learning about Hawaii. It helped ease any wedding day nerves I had. When it was all done, I loved the results! Mia is magical! Thank you for being so personable and kind and of course, a great hair and makeup artist."

Hi Mia,
Thank you so much for your help on our wedding day!
I was very concerned that we weren't able to do a hair and make-up run-thru before the wedding, but the it came out perfectly!!! Thank you so much!!! My hair and make-up was exactly what I wanted (and I'm very picky).
I felt so beautiful. Our day couldn't have been any better, thanks to you.
Much Mahalo,

"Mia was referred to me by a mutual friend and I couldn't have asked for anyone better! She did hair and makeup for myself and my two bridesmaids on my wedding day and we were all very happy with our results. At first I was a little undecided about what I wanted exactly, but Mia was very patient with me and we even did two trial runs! I'm very grateful that she was available for me, when I was undecided and on my big day. She's very good at what she does, really easy to talk to and get your ideas across, and she's very sweet. Who could ask for more? I would and will recommend her to any future bride."
-Sheri Kum
For my wedding, I hired Mia Moriguchi and her assistant to style hair
and make-up for myself, 3 bridesmaids and my mother. Mia created a
natural, polished look for me that completely exceeded my expectations! In addition to her artistry, Mia is extremely professional, prompt in returning emails and phone calls and charged a nominal fee for travel to my preparation locale with no early morning fee. Her rates were extremely reasonable and upfront, unlike many other stylists that nickel and dimed you for every circumstance that inconvenienced them. My mother and and bridesmaids were elated with the results and everyone commented how beautiful my hair and make-up looked throughout the wedding, despite the Hawaiian humidity. I highly recommend Mia to anyone who is wants to look their best for any occasion, while enhancing their own natural beauty!
- Kristen Takemura Ogawa
Thank you so much for doing hair and make-up for me and my sister on my wedding day! it was perfect! Everything held up so nicely and I hardly had to touch up my make-up for photos! I asked for natural, yet glam since it is a special day and she did it!
Working with mia was such a pleasant experience. She's so easy-going, professional and very personable. Mia was also efficient and prompt in returning emails and phone calls and getting to the hotel to start her "work", which is exactly what a bride needs to avoid anxiety attacks!
Thank you Mia!
Love, jamie

WHAT KIND OF FLOWERS SHOULD I CHOOSE FOR MY HAIR?
The most commonly used flowers for bridal hair are orchids, because they are the most durable. The cymbidium orchid is a larger sized orchid that is quite popular. Roses and peonies are also beautiful, but do not last as long.

DO I HAVE TO DO ANYTHING THE DAY OF MY WEDDING BEFORE YOU COME?
Make sure you wash your hair the night before. Your hair should be DRY upon arrival. Your face should be clean and moisturized. Be sure to wear a button downed shirt so that your hairstyle is not disturbed when you need to change into your dress.
DO YOU PROVIDE FLOWERS FOR MY HAIR?
If you would like flowers to put in your hair you will need to arrange that with your florist or coordinator. If you have neither a florist or coordinator I can find flowers for you. The charge for the flowers will go toward your final total and will be however much I had to pay for them.

DO YOU COME TO MY HOTEL/SITE?
Yes, most of my brides prefer for me to come to them on their wedding day to avoid stressful traffic.
IS THERE A TRAVEL FEE?
Yes a travel fee will be charged if I am required to travel to you. The travel fee would depend on where you are getting ready at. Contact me for travel fees. Any parking fees that I have to pay will also be charged to your final total.
Here is an example of airbrush makeup. The bride wanted a very natural look.
