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

Claire is amazing!

Only a few weeks before my wedding, I booked Claire for a trial and for wedding day hair and make-up. Despite how busy she is, she was really accomodating! And she did an amazing job. I'm really fussy about my hair but everything was perfect! She matched my hair to the pictures and the make-up pampering was just what I needed to relax. She's also really easy to get on with, friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend.

Disney dreams

A huge thank you to Claire Guy for making me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. 🥹🤍

Every bride wants to feel like the very best version of herself when she walks down the aisle, and Claire helped make that happen for me. Having my hair and makeup done for such a special occasion was about so much more than getting ready; it was about feeling confident, beautiful and ready to marry the love of my life.

Thank you for helping me feel like a real-life princess on my fairytale wedding day. 👰🏼‍♀️✨ I will always look back at my wedding photographs and remember how special I felt, and I am so grateful that you were part of those memories.

Thank you for your time, care and for helping make such an important morning even more special. I would wholeheartedly recommend Claire to any bride looking for someone to help them feel beautiful on their wedding day. 💕

Claire is just amazing!!

Claire is absolutely amazing, she did a phenomenal job of me, my mum and mother in law and three bridesmaids hair.

My hair was beyond perfect, the curls lasted right until we went to bed and I felt like such a beautiful princess! And thank you for making the Mums and my bridesmaids feel and look so gorgeous, you brought such a calming energy to the room and I can’t thank you enough! X

The perfect bridesmaid hair💙

Claire created the most incredible hair up for my daughter who was a bridesmaid at my brother's wedding. Claire made her not only comfortable and relaxed, but absolutely beautiful! She absolutely loved it and wants her hair to look like this everyday!

Claire… wow

Claire made the day so relaxing, making us hot drinks and making sure we were all happy and didn’t need anything extra, the magic she worked with each of our hairs and my make up was just incredible ❤️ Claire really put me at ease through my nerve wracking day, thankyou so much x

If you’re thinking about booking a HMU- pick Claire!

If you’re thinking about booking Claire.. do it!
I had the pleasure of having Claire as my hair and makeup artist for our wedding. From the start of wedding planning all the way through to the day- she has been attentive, supportive and fantastic. As soon as I met her at the trial she put me at ease and understood the exact look I was going for.
On the day, Claire isn’t just an incredible HMU- she’s there for you as the bride. All my bridesmaids, mother of the bride and mother of the groom all said the same to me, which is how amazing she was!
Claire didn’t just do our hair and makeup to perfection, she was a support for the morning and even helped me get into my wedding dress!
She’s extremely talented and my hair and makeup was absolutely gorgeous.
I couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you!! X

Beautiful hair and make up!

Thank you so much Claire for your care and expertise on my wedding day. From the trial to the wedding day you made me feel so calm and at ease and listened to what I wanted to make me feel like me! You are magic - it was amazing watching you work from a single photo to beautiful hair styles for my bridesmaids and make up that suited them so perfectly. My mum was so happy with her hair too! The hair and make up lasted all day (and the hair even until the next day because I was too tired to take it out!!). I’m also so grateful for you helping do the buttons on my dress! Thank you again ☺️

Book Claire (and Hayley) - you won't regret it!

I booked hair and make up for my myself, my bridesmaids and flower girls via Claire with herself and Hayley. They were both fab and even got up at the crack of dawn to come and help us get ready for a morning wedding. Both were great with the kids, chatty and made a busy morning flow seamlessly. Worth every penny!

(I should add I have nightmare hair and make up comes off my face easily but Claire knew all the tricks to make it stay in place!)

Amazing hair and make up

Claire did an amazing job on my hair and makeup for my wedding at Bowood Hotel. It was a hot, sunny day, and everything held up beautifully from start to finish — not a hair or a stroke of makeup out of place, even by the evening. She went above and beyond, helping with suncream and even helping me into my dress — nothing was too much trouble. Claire was professional, calming, and just a pleasure to have with me on the day. I felt like the best version of myself all day. Couldn’t recommend her highly enough for any bride! Thank you for everything Claire 😀

Bridal hair

Highly recommend. Claire was fantastic! I was unsure between a few styles and with Claire’s expertise and advice my hair was absolutely amazing. The curls stayed in all day and night and I had so many compliments!

Absolutely Fabulous!

Claire is just so personable, made me feel at ease from the trial, especially as someone who doesn't really wear makeup or do anything exciting with my hair 🤣

Fast forward to the wedding day and she just fitted in with the group so well, so easy to talk to and even helped MOB get in her dress 🤣
She's so talented! Our flower girls, who were aged 1-6 all sat beautifully and looked adorable despite usually running riot at all times!

You'd be daft not to have Claire for your Hair&Makeup

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!
