Begin Your Bridal Experience with Giovanna
Giovanna Avila is a Maui bridal hair and makeup artist known for creating polished, elevated beauty — and the calm, seamless experience that surrounds it.
Originally trained in Los Angeles, Giovanna built her career across salons, fashion shows, beauty campaigns and advertising before bringing that experience to Maui over a decade ago.
Today, she specializes in destination weddings, sunrise celebrations and private full-day bridal beauty — combining refined artistry with the calm, experienced presence a wedding day demands.
Her approach is personal and intentional: enhance what makes you beautiful, create hair that holds, and make sure you never have to wonder whether your beauty is being taken care of.
Because exceptional bridal beauty isn’t only about the finished look — it’s about knowing you’re in the right hands from the moment your day begins.
““Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful’”
frequently asked questions
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Day of your appointment:
Makeup: Please have clean face, lashes free of mascara and lash glue residue, and light moisturizer. For optimal results, follow your skin care routine or email me if you need help to prepare your skin months in advance as needed. Also, please ensure your brows are groomed and shaped 1 week before your appointment.
Hair: Please have clean and completely dry hair prior to my arrival, unless you booked a blowout service. You may wash the night before for a morning appointment but complete your blowout or curl routine. Do not sleep with wet hair. Book your gloss or deep continioning treatment one week before.
Do you travel to my location on Maui?
Yes, I come to your hotel room on Maui, including Hana and Lanai. I bring my professional bridal hair and makeup kit, chair, as well as professional lighting to the comfort of your hotel room or wedding venue. I am also available for travel across the US, Europe and Mexico.
Do you offer Hair and Makeup service for Sunrise Elopement?
Yes! I absolutely love sunrise elopements. Most sunrise brides are already used to the time difference so it’s great. You’ll also love the beautiful skies, quiet beaches and a more intimate experience.
Do I need a Trial?
Your wedding day will be a day to feel pampered and enjoy getting your hair and makeup done, knowing we have discussed the most important details, you get to relax during your bridal beauty session with me! While a Bridal Hair and Makeup Preview is not required, I do recommend it.
Bridal Beauty
I love providing a tailored bridal experience for my brides and creating hair design and makeup style that is unique to her bridal beauty vision and her personal style.
More than just makeup and hair, I continue to educate my clients and share self care beauty rituals that go beyond your wedding day to leave you feeling beautiful and inspired as you step into your next adventure with your loving partner.
For your groom I provide beard trim and neck clean up etc., including a little bit of skincare and makeup to insure he looks fresh and also looks great in photos. His treatment may include light skin care treatment, oil and shine control as well as “barely there makeup” will be applied to help him look polished for this special occasion.
I am also available for your bridal party upon request. I work with you and your bridal party to have a beautiful cohesive look for your wedding photos and work efficiently, and with additional artist when needed to make sure the day runs smoothly and we get you ready on time. You'll also have an artist for touch up sessions during your sunset shots for an added peace of mind, allowing your photographer to focus capturing your magic moments.
