Mother of the Groom and Daughter Wedding Day Hair Up and Make up.

I honestly couldn’t recommend our hair and makeup artist highly enough! She did the hair and makeup for myself, the mother of the groom, and my daughter for my son’s wedding, and we were absolutely delighted with everything.

From start to finish, she was so lovely, professional and made us all feel completely at ease. Our hair and makeup looked beautiful and, most importantly, lasted perfectly throughout the whole day and evening.

We each had slightly different looks, and she took the time to listen to what we wanted and made us all feel our absolute best. It was such an important part of the morning and she helped make it feel relaxed, enjoyable and special.

Thank you so much.

Great wedding hair and makeup artist

I would highly recommend Claire! I booked Claire for my hair and makeup for my wedding, and also for the hair for my bridesmaids. We were all so happy with the results. Claire is reliable, flexible to our requests and easy to work with. I also thought she was great value for money. It can be a bit awkward to give feedback about changes you want to a makeup artist but it was so easy to do it with Claire and she picked up on what I liked and didn't like so much at first without me really needing to say much. Thank you Claire for all your help in the build up and on the day of the wedding!

Bank holiday weekend wedding

Claire did an incredible job! I was such a pain to keep changing my mind on hairstyles accessories and which direction to go for makeup even after the trial but Claire listened to it all and made extra time on the day to make sure we got it right. She had to cater for forecasted rain and then a sudden heatwave. My hair and skin are sensitive to both but the products were amazing and stayed in place all day. I had issues with a spontaneous road closure for a parade which meant I had to go to the venue early or miss the ceremony and Claire kindly went with me to finish getting ready though it meant she finished late, as we were halfway through when the plans changed. She made sure I looked and felt beautiful, nailed the style I wanted and I couldn't be happier that I picked Claire.

The best hair and makeup artist!

I was so happy I booked Claire for my wedding day! She was extremely professional and listened to my ideas on how I wanted to look. I'm not a massive 'makeup' person but Claire reassured me that she would do natural looking makeup and I got so many compliments. My hair was also beautiful, stayed in place all day (even on the dance floor!) and many of my guests loved how it looked. I cannot recommend Claire enough; very professional, made me feel relaxed, and most importantly, gave me the most stunning look on my special day.

10/10 would recommend!!

I cannot recommend Claire enough! All of my bridesmaids looked absolutely amazing, and my own hair and makeup were exactly what I wanted, lasting beautifully all day. Claire created such a relaxed, fun atmosphere on the morning of the wedding, which set me up perfectly and took all the nerves away. It was such a lovely start to the day, and I am so grateful for all her hard work!

Tyler and Hannah's Wedding 27.05.26

I knew I loved Claire from the moment I had my trial. She immediately understood the look I was going for and even introduced me to a lipstick that I absolutely fell in love with.

On the wedding day, I genuinely couldn't fault her. Her timings were incredible, which is probably down to her experience working on professional adverts and productions. She worked her way through everyone seamlessly, listened carefully to what each person wanted, and created beautiful hair and makeup for us all.

I was initially unsure how one person could manage six people's hair and makeup, but Claire was so efficient and organised that everything ran perfectly. It's amazing that she's equally talented at both hair and makeup. Her prices are also incredibly reasonable for the level of service she provides.

What I loved most about Claire was her calm and grounded nature. She brought such a lovely energy to the morning, and we had some great chats throughout. She's knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely wonderful to be around.

I've had my hair and makeup done professionally before and usually end up sneaking away to tweak something afterwards. This time, I didn't change a single thing because I loved it exactly as it was. My mum felt the same, despite being a little nervous about having someone else do her makeup.

I felt confident, comfortable, and completely like myself on my wedding day, which is exactly what I wanted. I am so pleased I chose Claire and honestly couldn't recommend her more highly.

Absolutely Flawless Experience!


I honestly cannot recommend Claire highly enough! From our very first message, through to the trial, and all the way to the wedding morning, she was an absolute dream to work with. She was incredibly professional, arrived perfectly on time, and has the most wonderful, super-friendly energy that instantly puts you at ease.
As someone who doesn't typically wear makeup, I was a bit nervous, but Claire made me feel completely comfortable expressing what I wanted. She was so patient and open to adjustments—if there was a tiny detail I wasn't entirely sure about during the process, making changes was absolutely no trouble at all.
She completely nailed both my hair and makeup. The makeup looked incredibly natural, felt lightweight and comfortable, and literally lasted all day and all night. For my hair, she even went above and beyond to fit clip-on extensions for me. The end result was perfect. Between the wind, my veil, and moving around all day, my hair obviously got a bit tangled—but even after brushing out the knots throughout the day, the curls remained completely intact from 10:00 AM until midnight!
Claire was originally recommended to me by my photographer (who also did a fantastic job!), and I am so incredibly grateful for that referral. If you are looking for a talented, accommodating, and lovely hair and makeup artist who will make you feel like the best version of yourself, book Claire immediately!

Everything I Dreamed of for My Wedding Day

It was the best decision to choose Claire Bridal Makeup for my wedding day. From the moment she arrived, her calm and reassuring presence instantly put me at ease. Both my hair and makeup looked absolutely stunning, exactly how you dream of feeling on your wedding day. I’m so grateful for the incredible job she did and couldn’t recommend her highly enough!

Bridal makeup and Hair

Claire was absolutely amazing and I can’t recommend her enough!

The trial session was such an important part of the process — it allowed us to get to know each other properly and helped Claire understand not only the look I wanted, but also my skin and hair type. She even asked me to send photos after the trial to see how my hair and makeup held up throughout the day, which meant she could make the perfect adjustments for the wedding day itself.

On the day, Claire was right on time, calm, friendly, and created such a relaxing atmosphere while getting me ready. My hair and makeup turned out exactly how I had hoped — the Hollywood waves held beautifully all day and the makeup stayed flawless from start to finish.

Thank you so much, Claire, for making me feel so confident and special on my wedding day. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to any future brides!

Excellent artist

Claire is an amazing make up artist and a lovely person. I booked her for my wedding at relatively short notice, and I couldn’t have asked for more. My hair and make up was beautiful at both the trial and the wedding. She also did hair and make up for my bridal party and everyone looked amazing and was really pleased.

She was such a calming and positive presence throughout a stressful morning.

If you are considering booking Claire for a wedding you definitely should! She’s the best!

Love love love!

Claire was a total dream to work with! She stepped in at short notice and immediately put me at ease on the morning of our paperwork day. She really listened to what I wanted and made sure I felt completely comfortable with the look. Not only did my hair and makeup last all day and night (even outdoors!), but she was such a calming, positive presence, full of life advice and warmth.

I’m so glad I found her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any bride looking for someone skilled, genuine, and reassuring.

Amazing, would definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I cannot thank Claire enough for making me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day! From the moment she arrived, she brought such calm, positive energy — exactly what every bride needs. My hair and makeup were flawless and lasted perfectly through tears, laughter, and dancing all night.
Claire really listened to what I wanted and made sure I still looked like me, just the best version possible. My bridesmaids were also thrilled with their looks.
If you’re looking for someone who’s professional, talented, and genuinely lovely to have around on your big day, I couldn’t recommend Claire more highly.

Stunning Make-up and Friendly service

Claire did an amazing job with my make-up for our wedding. She was professional and really friendly, it was a joy to have my make-up done by her.

She made sure I was happy throughout every step of the process, and I couldn't fault her service. I would highly recommend booking Claire.

Highly recommended hair and makeup artist!

Claire was absolutely incredible. As a bride who doesn’t wear a lot of makeup usually, she took all my thoughts into account and I really loved our trial together. She took great time and attention listening to what I would like and putting forward really helpful suggestions for pre wedding skincare too!

Getting ready on my wedding day was the most fun and stress-free morning thanks to her and her lovely assistant Milena. It was the best start to the day I could have asked for!

My three bridesmaids and mum looked amazing, all with their own looks and hairstyles done to perfection!

Honestly, I don’t think I have or will ever feel as pretty as I did after Claire finished with my hair and makeup. I felt so confident all day, everything lasted perfectly and she achieved the natural look I was looking with amazing skill. Thank you so much!

Claire knew exactly what I wanted!

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better hair and makeup artist for my wedding day! From the very first trial, Claire was so friendly and easy to get on with—it felt like chatting with a friend. She even came to my house for the trial, which was such a bonus and made the whole process so much easier.

On the big day, everything was perfect. My makeup stayed absolutely flawless from morning till night, and my hair stayed curled for days! I had so many compliments throughout the day, and I’m so happy with how everything looked in the photos.

One of the things I really appreciated was that I still felt like me. That was something I was nervous about, as wedding makeup can sometimes feel too overdone, but Claire completely understood what I wanted and got it spot on.

Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a lovely, talented, and professional hair and makeup artist!
