Lena T. Hanson

My wife is sitting besides me right now and making me write this review because she «needs the world to know how incredible Lena is».
My wife, Norma, used Lena’s make-​up service for our destination in Hawaii in May 2015. Norma loved her make up and I was blown away by how beautiful my bride-​to-​be looked when I first saw her for first-​look photo.
The make-​up held through out the day despite all the wind, tears, sweat, and hugging happened on that day.
That’s about as much as I, a guy, can say about Lena’s service. I don’t think Norma has anything to add as she has stopped looking over my shoulders.
Thank you, Lena, for making my wife the happiest woman on Earth.

I had Lena as my makeup artist for my wedding and she was AWESOME! She knew just what needed to be done to make me look like the «belle of the ball» without looking like a «lady of the night».if you know what I mean :-)
Now, I’m the type of gal that has no clue when it comes to makeup… so I needed help BADLY. I met with Lena for the practice run and already she knew what to do and what colors worked well with my skin tone. I didn’t have to say much to let her know what I wanted… she used subtle colors, light shades, and knew exactly how to make my eyes stand out (which is REALLY good for wedding photos). She also airbrushed my face which helped to give that flawless look and did my eyebrows by giving it more of a clean shape without thinning them dramatically.
On the day of the wedding, Lena arrived on time to my hotel, which is very good for an already nervous bride. There was absolutely no stress at all. She went right to work and knew exactly what to do.
I’ve been to special events before where I’ve had to get dolled up, but truly, I’ve never felt this great about myself until Lena. And how great to have her work her magic on such a big moment in my life. As a result of her help, my wedding photos look beautiful! I completely recommend anyone to hire Lena for weddings or any special occasion!
On a side note: For my hair, I had Monet as my hair stylist. She was AWESOME as well!!! I totally recommend her! She did my hair and my bridesmaids’ and all three of us looked great! We had no complaints. We just showed her a picture of what we wanted and she was able to copy the style with no problems. Plus, the hair completely stayed the whole day! Which is amazing in Hawaii weather! If you need a hairstylist, make sure to request for Monet too!

I chose Lena upon a strong recommendation from my wedding photographer, Joseph Esser. Since I was coming from NYC and having a destination wedding, I relied on reviews from professionals.
Lena arrived on time for my morning wedding hair/​makeup preparations. Not only was she professional, she was creative and efficient. She did just as I asked: dramatic eyes, but soft, natural look. I was very pleased. The makeup held up all day from my morning beach wedding, mid-​day reception and sunset photo shoot. Lena is dependable and transforms you into a princess. Mahalo nui loa, Lena!

Lena is the best! I have worked with her on both photoshoots and fashion shows and she is fabulous! She is able to capture many versatile looks and knows how to interpret what I as a stylist am looking for. Her large body of work speaks for itself. AMAZING!

I have been going to Lena for over 6 months and I absolutely love her and her services! She is a really good make up artist that understands each woman’s unique beauty.
I usually get my brows done once a month from her and when she is done waxing, I feel like a new woman!
As for makeup, I have been a model for a photo shoot and she has been absolutely amazing! She is very detailed oriented and always wants you to look your best.
I recommend Lena to any woman who wants to look and feel beautiful weather it be for a girls night or for your big day!

I met Lena about a couple months ago and found out that she did makeup and eyebrow waxing, just in time for an event that I needed to get dolled up for so I decided to make an appointment. I’m so glad that I did, my eyebrows haven’t looked better and my makeup was just perfect! So now, I see her for any special occasions that I need to look fabulous for!
