About

I’ve always believed that the beauty of a wedding isn’t just in the dress or the flowers – it’s in the way a bride feels the moment she looks in the mirror and sees herself, radiant and glowing, ready to step into one of the biggest days of her life.

What I’m known for is creating natural, timeless looks that enhance rather than mask. Brides often tell me that working with me feels calm, reassuring, and a little bit like having a friend by their side on the morning of their wedding.

Every wedding morning is different, and that’s what I love most. Sometimes it’s a house full of laughter and excitement; other times it’s a quiet, intimate start to the day. I adapt to the atmosphere, bringing a sense of calm when it’s needed, or joining in with the joy when everyone’s buzzing with excitement.

What makes each wedding special for me is the little details: pinning in a flower from the bride’s bouquet, making sure lipstick is topped up just before the aisle, or giving a quick pep talk when nerves appear. I never see my role as just hair and makeup – I see it as helping you feel completely you on a day when every moment matters.

At the end of the day, my greatest joy is seeing a bride walk out the door, glowing with confidence, knowing I’ve played a small but special part in a memory that will last forever.

I have won Multiple Awards on Hitched, all based on reviews from my Brides. For this I am so grateful that people take time out of their day to write one.

I cover Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire plus futher afield. Please contact me to check availability for your wedding date.

I look forward to hearing from you

Amazing bridal hair & make-up!

Claire was utterly amazing! I had a vision of what I wanted and she made it come to life. Her professionalism and personality were second to none, she made me and my bridal party feel relaxed and at ease.
I cannot recommend Claire enough!

Beautiful makeup!

Claire was beyond amazing! From the moment she arrived she gave a warm and relaxed environment throughout! Claire put up with all of our craziness too!
She made me feel so confident for my wedding day! Everybody complimented how natural I looked which was lovely as I’m not someone who wears makeup very often. I had a reaction to my eyelashes I had put on a few days prior and had blood shot eyes and Claire knew exactly what to do and in photos you wouldn’t even know!! She was so professional and listened to everyone’s needs.
I thoroughly recommend claire and wouldn’t have wished for anyone else 🫶🏼

Loved my wedding hair

Claire was amazing from the start of the process through to the wedding day. My hair was exactly what I wanted and lasted all day, and the bridesmaids loved their hair too. She went above and beyond, got everyone ready ahead of plan and made sure there was no last minute chaos! Highly recommend, thanks Claire!

Claire was fantastic from start to finish! Booking a trial was easy and her advice was very helpful (considering I wasn’t sure what hair style to go for when I arrived.)
On my wedding day she made me feel very calm and I really enjoyed the experience, my bridesmaids looked beautiful as well. My make up was exactly what I asked for, all my guests loved my sparkly eye shadow which complemented my dress perfectly . Claire also stayed to help me with my veil as I don’t think we’d of managed that without her. ❤️

Just amazing!!

Claire was the hairdresser for my wedding in August. She was so professional. Claire gave me guidance around my hair colouring on the lead up to the wedding. Claire was kind, caring and made me feel so relaxed on the morning of my wedding. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to be mine and my bridesmaids’ bridal hair stylist. Would highly recommend!!!

Claire came highly recommended by a friend. From first contact, Claire is friendly and organised. First visit to her home for hair and make-up trials, Claire put me at ease being so friendly. She's clearly a professional who knows her stuff. I was so badly prepared, hadn't thought much about what I wanted and Claire made everything feel effortlessly easy and not rushed at all. We had a lovely time on the trial day so leaving me really relaxed and trusting completely in Claire for the wedding day. Claire though then takes it to another level on the day, she's not just hair and make up (as if that isn't enough!) she gave out so much good advice from her experience of doing this for many years. She helped me relax during the morning because she made me feel like a friend there with me, she's got you, checking in with you all the time and reassuring you with her lovely manner and personality. She has exactly the right balance of friendliness and professionalism; helping calm down any nervous bride! One of my bridesmaids had her hair up and my Maid of Honour had hers half up/down and curled. Both looked amazing and stayed in perfectly all the way to the end when we'd all been on the dance floor bouncing around for hours! My hair was down (shoulder length) and I had it curled. I have the finest of hair and being an 'older' bride, find my hair isn't in such good condition as it used to be but oh my word, Claire made my hair look like it had volume and the soft curls stayed on all day and night. No curls dropped and no extensions added to give it volume; all my own hair made to look super full with Claire's creativity and a few miracle working hair products! I was equally super happy with my make-up. It was natural looking but enough coverage to hide the imperfections! Having just seen the professional photos, Claire clearly is a little miracle worker and the make up held so well. No reapplying required and good job too as the day rushes by and want to be there for all the special moments. My Maid of Honour (20’s) was very happy with her hair and make up and her make up looked flawless!
Can't thank Claire enough for all she did and made our morning getting-ready experience just
just perfect as well as setting me up to look glam on the day! I would highly recommend this lady!
Don't look at anyone else! She’s an absolute gem!

Huge heartfelt thank you - just excellent!

Claire is so extremely talented when it comes to her trade, my hair looked absolutely gorgeous and everything was perfect from the trial through to the day …. But not only is she first class in her trade she also goes above and beyond, staying long after the hair was done to ensure I had someone on hand to help me with my dress. You can tell this isn’t just a job to her it’s her passion, she made me feel like she was one of my close friends I was sharing my morning with, something that seemed to come effortlessly and naturally to her. Any bride knows the stressful nature of a wedding morning. Claire is the calming influence everyone needs on their day. I really couldn’t recommend her highly enough. A huge heartfelt thank you!

Couldn’t have asked for more from Claire!

Claire was fantastic from start to finish. I live far away from her/ the venue and she was so flexible to accommodate my trial just when I needed it, and then also found another date when I changed my mind on my hair. She worked so well with my naturally curly hair which I loved. It was a pleasure to have her with us the morning of the wedding. She is so skilled in hair and makeup, making us all feel amazing and super confident. I couldn’t recommend Claire enough.

Amazing work from Claire

Claire was amazing on my wedding day, all the bridesmaids commented on how lovely and calm she was, and what a great job she did on their hair and make up. For me personally, I changed my mind on the style in the lead up to the wedding but she didn’t mind at alll, and the new hair turned out perfect on the day. Highly recommend Claire for hair and makeup, she’s fab!

Can’t recommend Claire highly enough

I cannot recommend Claire highly enough! From start to finish she was absolutely incredible. Not only is she a truly talented wedding hair stylist, but on the morning of my wedding it honestly felt like having an old friend by my side.
Claire went above and beyond in every way – she even helped me into my dress and somehow managed to fasten all the buttons with amazing speed! My hair was perfect and stayed flawless all day, and every one of my bridesmaids adored their hairstyles too.
She brought such a calming presence to the morning, putting everyone at ease and making the whole getting-ready experience feel relaxed and joyful.
Even before the big day, Claire made everything so easy. Her bespoke booking website is brilliant – it keeps all the admin simple and stress-free – and she responds so quickly to messages, which really put my mind at rest.
Claire is not only a fantastic professional but also such a lovely, supportive person to have with you on one of the most important mornings of your life. I feel so lucky to have had her as part of my wedding and would recommend her in a heartbeat!

Fantastic!

From the moment we first spoke with Claire, we knew we were in safe hands. As two grooms (one of us being bald!), we were totally out of our depth when it came to wedding hair and makeup—but Claire was an absolute dream from start to finish.

Her communication was clear, kind, and full of warmth. She listened to our only real request—that everyone feel and look beautiful—and completely exceeded it. Every single person looked stunning and, more importantly, felt amazing.

In the run-up to the wedding, we had a few curveballs (our original prep space flooded… then the AirB&B also flooded), and we felt like we were constantly throwing changes at her. But Claire remained calm, kind, and so incredibly supportive—she even offered her own space for the bridal party to get ready.

Her patience, professionalism, and genuinely lovely nature made a huge difference on the day. We can't thank her enough and will absolutely be recommending her to everyone we know.

Claire is amazing, she listens to exactly what you want and brings it to life!
The curls from my trial stayed in for 3 WHOLE DAYS! Can’t tell me that’s not value for money!

She couldn’t have done a better job on the day and made all the bridesmaids hair perfect as well as my mums and my own!

These pictures are only half of the work she did for our big day!

Mr and Mrs Sharp, Eastington Park 28.06.25

Wow, wow and wow! Those are the only words you can use to describe Claire. She is so progressional and passionate and she was amazing from the get go. To helping me bring my desired hairstyles to life and to pushing through and changing the plans when there was a power cut on the day. I couldn’t have done it without you.

Best wishes,

Mr and Mrs Sharp
