"I'm not sure where to start... I have never been happy with my hair until mara cut and styled it over 3 years ago! I have referred over 7 people to mara, all of them came back to me with nothing but great things to say about mara's professionalism and how she is a perfectionist! She is the most beautiful person inside and out that I have ever met and makes sure you leave her studio feeling fabulous and beautiful.
Yours in health,"
-Mary Teshima Meheula L.M.T.

bio
I have been doing hair and makeup (professionally) for about eight years. after realizing my passion for the art, I decided to go to learn the techincal and "proper" way of doing things. I graduated from the Aveda Institute in St. Petersburg, Florida, with a cosmetology certification in 2004. I made my way down to Miami and worked as a hair stylist and makeup artist at salon RikRak in the heart of the business district in Miami, on Brickell Avenue. I worked on sets of fashion shows such as the La Perla swim and lingerie runway event and the fashion event of the Village of Merrick Park. In the end of 2005 I moved up to Tampa and apprenticed under master stylist Rita at Posh Salon&Spa. It was a very humbling experience but I learned so many things from being her assistant and got to fine-tune my finishing work. I was born and raised on the Big Island of Hawaii and decided that it was time to move back home, so in 2007 I did. I worked at Intrigue Dezign Salon from 2007-2010 in Kailua Kona and am currently working in my own studio and doing freelance work. My most recent pulblished work has been in the winter/spring 2012 Pacific Weddings Magazine. More coming soon! Aloha
