Today marks the final curtain for Paradise Cove Luau 🤍After nearly 40 years, a chapter that shaped so many lives comes to an end—and I’m so honored to say it shaped mine.

I started working here when I was just 17 years old and stayed until I was 25. Nine years of dancing, growing, learning, and becoming. My last four years as a line captain, dancing almost seven days a week—these were the years of my young adulthood. The years that taught me discipline, humility, leadership, and aloha in its truest form.

Paradise Cove built my work ethic. It taught me how to show up for people, how to serve with heart, and how to carry myself with pride. I went through so many highs and lows here—because that’s what your early 20s are—but every season helped mold the woman I am today.

It was during this time that I decided to go to beauty school. I ran for Miss Aloha Hula at Merrie Monarch. I learned who I was, and who I wanted to become. And eventually, I left to live out of the country and dance hula—chasing a dream that Paradise Cove helped give me the courage to pursue.

Before there was Hulabarbie Hair…
Before there was Chalei the hairstylist…
There was Malia—the hula dancer.

“Hulabarbie” was born here.
And so much of me was born here too ❤️‍🔥
This year asked me to trust myself in ways I never had before. The choices were scary, but the growth was worth it. Thankful for the journey and everything it’s prepared me for ✨here’s to 2026 ❤️‍🔥
A little behind the scenes of this week’s rebrand shoot ✨
Styling, creating, and refining what Hula Barbie Hair on-location + special events will look and feel like in 2026. A yearly rebrand shoot with 🎱 Same signature style, just elevated 〰️

with a timeless bridal updo,
bringing classic Hollywood waves,
and in an elevated brushed-out curl—effortless, elegant, and versatile yet still rooted in culture. Inquire for 2026✨
This March, I’ll be heading to France for Paris Fashion Week to do hair backstage, a dream I’ve held onto for years. So thankful to for the opportunity and for welcoming me onto her 2026 hair team.

One of my 2026 goals already coming to life. Proof that consistency and belief open doors. I’m Forever grateful 🤍
Truthfully, 2025 wasn’t the year I put my health first.

After 10+ years behind the chair, a back injury from improper hair washing felt rookie—but it was also a wake-up call. Not being able to move, work out, or live fully really affects you, both physically and mentally.

Reformer Pilates has helped me slowly rebuild strength and reconnect with my body again. This season is about healing, moving with intention, and finding my way back to being my old workout girl self - health first this time. 🤍
Just out here in Sin City trynna make sumthin’ outta nothin’ ❤️‍🔥
Flew home for 48 hours to glam my girls for the O‘ahu Shores premiere. Grateful to have done hair for Kaui + Skye last night & the girls throughout the season— and to be part of a night celebrating everyone’s hard work ✨ #oahushores #hulabarbiehair
September, Hawaii edition 🌺✈️ From hair transformations to ambassador work, this trip was a whirlwind of success. 41 clients, long days, barely any sleep — and I couldn’t have done it without my assistant Rosella. non stop hustle building the Hula Barbie Empire. Forever grateful for the support, the love, and the chance to live this bi-coastal lifestyle.

It wasn’t all easy, but it was worth it — every single moment reminds me why I love my bi-coastal life so much. Until next time, Hawai‘i 🫶🏽
