Aloha and welcome to Kipona Aloha. We specialize in makeup + hair for luxury weddings in Southern California, Hawaii and around the world.

Founded by Celebrity Artist & Maui girl, Cynthia Rose, we bring a modern and chic approach to wedding and event beauty. Kipona Aloha is the Hawaiian phrase for deep love and we are deeply passionate that well-conceived hair + makeup is as important as the dress you wear, or the flowers you carry. And it shows in every beautiful bride we style.

We have had the pleasure of being featured in many publications such as; Green Wedding Shoes, Carats and Cake, Destination Weddings Magazine, C Magazine, Rock n Roll Bride, and Modern Bride Magazine.
