Our Wedding
Claire was very understanding of my desired look, achieving exactly what I wanted. She was very friendly and supportive of not only myself but my entourage. Myself and my bridesmaids thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and were all put at ease with Claires approach. I highly recommend Claire 100%.

Excellent experience with Claire!
I was nervous about finding the right hair stylist for my wedding as I don't normally do my hair, so I wanted to find someone who would respect my wishes while giving me some suggestions. Claire was able to do just that and made me feel right at ease when I went to do my trial. Claire was very professional and spent a lot of time ensuring I was happy with the final result of my hair. On my wedding day, she arrived on time, was very prepared, and able to work in the smallish space I had to get ready in. My hair looked beautiful and Claire made sure that my hair was not anything to worry about on the day. Thank you again Claire!

Great experience
Claire was amazing from start to finish. She helped guide me through options at the trail appointment and gave me some much needed advice. On the wedding day Claire was very calming and efficient working with all the bridesmaids and my mother and they were all delighted with their make up. She fitted right in and helped where needed. The look lasted all day and I cannot recommend Claire enough!

Wedding Hair & Makeup
It was an absolute pleasure to share my special day with Claire! Claire styled my hair and makeup beautifully, and the morning of my wedding day was just so relaxing and enjoyable! Both hair and makeup held beautifully all day - even after spending time outside, in what was windy and damp conditions at times! Thank you so much! Tiffany

Claire is an amazing make-up artist
Claire was recommended to me by my friend who had her as her make-up artist on her wedding day, I'm so glad that she did! She is very friendly professional who totally gave me the stunning look that I was hoping to have on my wedding day.
After telling Claire about the look I was wanting and tried 2 different looks on me at my trial and I was very impressed. The morning of my wedding, Claire arrived early in the morning. She also helped me stay calm and relaxed because I knew she was going to give me that amazing look. She did my maid of honor and mum's make-up aswell which they both loved. When struggling to know how to put on my wedding dress the correct way she helped me straight away, which I am very thankful for. My make-up stayed on and my hair stayed in it's bun all day and night. I am so happy that I had Claire as my make-up artist and I would totally recommend her!

Amazing make up artist
I booked Claire to do our wedding make up this included me as bride, three bridesmaids and my mum. After having a trial run with Claire i knew it would be perfect. Claire listened to what I wanted, was not at all pushy, captured my style instantly and made me feel like a princess. On the day Claire was a joy to have a round, easy to work with, and delivered the most gorgeous natural autumnal make up for us. Claire uses top products and the make lasted all day long. Thanks so much xxx

Lovely professional friendly service
I booked Claire to do my hair and make up for my wedding and I have to say she was absolutely fantastic. I had some concerns prior to my wedding day as my hair can be quite thin in places and I obviously wanted to look my best. Claire put my mind at ease as soon as I had my trial and I knew I was in the hands of the perfect person for the job. She was so professional and friendly and I just felt so comfortable and reassured by her. She turned up at the crack of dawn on the day with a huge beaming smile on her face and that smile stayed there the whole time! She is quite simply a wonderful person with exceptional skills, she really knows her craft. I was delighted with the look she created for me on the day and my curls and make up lasted all day long. She stayed in touch throughout the lead up to the wedding and even sent me a few pics she'd taken from the morning of all of us girls getting ready after. I would highly recommend Claire if you're looking for a warm, friendly, professional service from an absolute master in her field. Thank you so much Claire, I couldn't have asked for more.

She is amazing!
Claire did my hair and makeup and the makeup for my mother-in-law in May 2023. Right from the very first correspondence, Claire was nothing short of professional and really put me at ease. Claire was recommended to me by the owner of the bridal boutique where I purchased my dress and I am so grateful she was recommended to me!
My hair and make up trial was a lovely experience and I left knowing that Claire had perfectly captured the look I was after (‘glowy’ natural make up and a chignon-type up do). My mother-in-law is not someone who usually wears makeup and she was terrified of looking ‘cakey’ – needless to say, she left our trial feeling like a million dollars! I ended up buying her the lipstick that was used for the big day because she loved it so much! Our looks were replicated perfectly on my big day and my hair and make up stayed put all evening.
If you are looking for someone who is experienced, professional and just generally a lovely person to work with, Claire should be your first choice!
