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

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.

21/07/2025 - Scott-Haines Wedding

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

Fantastic and friendly

Claire was my hairdresser of choice for my 7 person bridal party. She is talented, funny and a real people person.

All of my bridal bridal party looked beautiful and loved their hair, and she was able to style any request (updos, sleek down, half up half down and complex requests).

She was perfect for my special day, would highly recommend

Amazing communication and talented!

I struggled to find a hair dresser and make up artist until I came across Claire. She was quick to respond and easy with communicating style ideas for the wedding. I booked for a trial a couple of months before, which allowed us to define what I wanted my hair and makeup to look like. We also tested it in different light to make sure it matched throughout the day. She also did all the bridal party and joining in with the morning of the wedding. I highly recommend Claire!

Absolutely amazing

Claire was brilliant, and not only fabulous at hair, but she was so helpful for all the little details on the day which I had no clue about - teaching my bridesmaids how to fluff out the train, tips whilst we were doing our make up, and so much more. Claire put us all at ease, was super professional but also so friendly and a joy to have around whilst we were getting ready. I couldn’t recommend her more. Thank you Claire!

Fantastic choice! You won’t be disappointed!

If you are looking for somebody amazing to do your hair, Claire really is the person. She was fantastic from start to finish, communication was excellent and she was patient during the trial when I didn’t know what I wanted. On the day she was on time and was even able to adjust the original style to suit me more and it looked incredible! It stayed in all day and I had lots of lovely compliments throughout the day! Claire did my bridal hair, 2 bridesmaids hair and my mum’s hair too. Claire also went above and beyond and helped me into my dress and didn’t leave until we were fully ready to go! She is a wonderful person and you won’t regret choosing her for your special occasion!

Great experience

Claire was great from the start.
She responded very quickly to my enquiry ( and every question that followed).
The hair and makeup was exactly what I'd asked for, even with a few last minute changes.
I felt completely at ease on the day and it all ran so smoothly!

Highly recommend!

I’m not usually one for hair and make up but Claire made me feel comfortable right from the start during our trial. On the wedding day Claire (and Hayley) were both brilliant! Not just doing hair and make up but helping with anything else we needed too. Would highly recommend for that natural but feeling amazing look.

Best Wedding Hair and the Loveliest Morning!

Claire is absolutely amazing, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! She styled the hair for me and my bridal party on my wedding day, and we were all over the moon with the results. My curls stayed perfect all day (and even the next!), and everyone was thrilled with their hairstyles. She went above and beyond, even helping me put my veil on and giving me top tips to keep everything looking flawless. Her calm, friendly energy made the morning so relaxed and fun—it was truly the best start to the day. Thank you for being such an incredible part of our special day!
