Haute Beauty: Leslie Fair

Quality over quantity, less is more, and simple elegance are just a few of Leslie Fair’s mottos used when applying her magic wand to her clients’ canvas. Fair is one of the most sought-after hair and make-up artists in the state of Hawaii. So, if you have a milestone birthday, wedding day, or formal soiree on the calendar ahead, get bookin’!

With Hawaii as a leading choice for destination weddings, brides-to-be are banging down Fair’s door. During high seasons she can be booked for up to three weddings per day. Fair has earned accolades for mastering a long lasting flawless look in Hawaii’s hot, humid climate and always has a talented staff in tow to tackle bridal party tresses, lashes, and lips.

When not booked up for the bridal market, Fair’s mixing custom colors and treatments for her fans, creating of the moment make-up looks for the social set, or giving consultations for her following out of her new Kapahulu, Oahu-based studio.

Fair currently stocks her salon with Alterna Caviar hair products. She favors lived in, elegant looks like the not so perfect chignon. For must-have make-up, she swears by Maleana oil-free airbrush foundation and Fair’s favorite of-the-moment look is stained lips and cheeks, subtle shadow, crisp black liner, with faux lashes for haute appeal.

Fair finds beauty and inspiration in the diversity and melting pot that is Hawaii. The mix of ethnicities and cultural influences is what keeps her canvas interesting and never mundane.

Fair shares her beauty industry expertise by hosting a bevy of bridal expos and was even featured on WE networks Platinum Weddings. This one-woman glam squad is so sought after she’s often flown to outer islands along with numerous other destinations to meet her client’s needs.

With the wave of her wand and stroke of her brush, Fair is sure to win any beauty maven over with her performance art.
