Highly recommended

I honestly can’t recommend Claire enough! After a really disappointing experience with a previous hair and makeup artist during my trials, I was left feeling anxious and deflated about one of the most important parts of my wedding day. I’d lost a lot of confidence and was worried I wouldn’t find someone who truly understood what I wanted.

Then I found Claire — and everything changed. From the moment we connected, she was warm, professional, and really took the time to listen. She instantly put me at ease and was genuinely interested in making me feel like the best version of myself. During the trial, she was patient, creative, and completely open to my ideas, while also bringing her own expertise to the table. I left feeling not only beautiful, but reassured and excited again.

On the wedding day itself, Claire was a dream. She was calm, professional, and made the whole morning feel relaxed and special. My makeup stayed flawless all day and night — even after dancing and (happy) tears! I felt confident, radiant, and totally myself, which is all I ever wanted.

Claire truly turned things around for me and I’m so grateful to have had her as part of my day. She’s a rare talent and such a lovely person to have by your side on a big occasion.

Thank you so much, Claire — you made me feel amazing.

An absolute anchor and genius

Claire was an absolute anchor, and my mum can't stop singing her praises! I felt like an enchanting vixen all day, and when it came to crunch time, Claire was the calm in the storm and stepped in when needed. I can't tell you how appreciative I am, and how much her calm made the start of my wedding day enjoyable, relaxing and completely at ease in her care. It made walking down the aisle something I could do confidently, feeling beautiful and looking like an enchantress. It felt like a spa treatment before heading up, and she listened intently, gave a realistic approach of what to expect, and as a woman with psoriasis wanting to feel pretty, and then feeling like a goddess...I can't express the level of awe that was struck upon me, and how it stayed on ALL day...I'm an oily skin girly, but it stayed in place and did not budge. I'm so relieved I found Claire, and I think as a general rule, everyone needs a Claire for their wedding day

Wouldn’t change a thing!

Booked Claire, and her assistant Annette, for my wedding in July, for hair and make up for me, my bridesmaid and my mum. They were a great choice and wouldn’t change a thing!

I felt truly beautiful all day - and was still getting comments on my hair and makeup late into the night ❤️

They were calm and kept the mood light and fun all morning whilst I was feeling the nerves - and lifesavers when we needed help with dresses, jewellery clasps and the other last minute touches.

I felt really confident in their experience, that we would all get what we hoped for on the day. Claire have great advice at my trail about what would suit my style and dress. I also feel Claire was great value for money for the amazing service they provided!

Truly amazing

Claire was absolutely fantastic despite the early start and getting lost coming to our venue where we was getting ready. She made me feel so relaxed, entertained and glamorous! I cannot thank her enough for the job that she did for myself. My maid of honour, and the mother of the bride! And let's not forget help my wild-haired little girls hair to help her headband stay in!

Priceless.

Where do I begin? From the very beginning, Claire was incredible. She was so attentive, supportive, and accomodating at every turn. Every message, every question or query I had was met with understanding and love. I didn't feel like a client to her, I felt like a friend.

She is a true artist with a brush, and seemless transformed me into someone I didn't recognise, but had always longed to be. I didn't give her much to go on, but somehow she knew exactly how I wanted to look.

I had nothing but complete faith in her, and she delivered 110%. On the big day, she kept me calm and we spoke like we'd known each other for years.

I wish nothing but the absolute best for Claire and her business, because it's well and truly deserved. She's a complete master at her craft.

From the very bottom of my heart I have nothing but gratitude and love for you Claire, for making me feel how, for the last 8 years, I had dreamt of feeling. Also, shout out to Annette for doing such a fantastic job with my bridesmaids hair, they all looked incredible and they were all so, so pleased how their hair and makeup turned out!

There are no words strong enough to give the thanks that is deserved, but thank you all the same!

What a woman!!!

Claire was my stylist for my recent wedding and also did the make up for my bridesmaids and mother of the bride. As I sit to write this review, I am getting emotional as she is an incredible woman!!

From our first interactions over email, Claire was warm and so friendly and professional. She spent HOURS with my mum and I during our trial and we just had a lovely day experimenting! It felt more like a day with friends than a make up trial! I was so confident in the look we decided on and it made me so much more excited for the big day! I thought it would be hard to trust someone to get me ready for such an important day but Claire was so easy to trust. She is a true artist who produces the most gorgeous looks!!!

On the wedding day itself, Claire was a dream. She is such a wonderful calming presence even in the stresses of a wedding morning! Everything went so smoothly and I felt like a princess. My bridesmaids and mum all looked beautiful as well and it was so nice to see them feeling so comfortable. Nothing was rushed and she was a HUGE part of the morning, getting as excited as I did when the flowers arrived and people came down in their dresses! The finished look was beautiful and better than I ever could have imagined, I have never felt so confident and amazing. All day, people commented on how gorgeous my make up and hair were!! It lasted all day looking as good as it did when I left for the venue - despite it being so hot and a lot of tears and dancing!

Claire is not just a stylist, she is on hand to help with anything and just enjoys being a part of your day!

If you are looking for a stylist for your wedding, she is a must!

From day 1 Claire was fantastic. She had a clear plan and was very organised. The trial was a great way for us to meet ahead of the day and also trial the hair and make up. She made me feel calm and confident and listened to my views and noted everything down to replicate on the big day. It all filled me with confidence and made the run up to the day smooth. On the day it all went to plan and Claire made everyone feel relaxed, keeping us all calm and made us look beautiful. Thank you again!

Incredibly grateful

Claire was amazing and beautiful from first meeting at a trial, till good bye just before ceremony starting. I can’t thank you enough for your kindness, talent and help given to me the morning of my wedding. You went above and beyond for all of our hair and more. Even helped me into my dress, thank you so much for that particularly from myself and my mum. Bridesmaids and mothers very pleased and made them feel relaxed. Would highly recommend not that you need it. Xxx

A ray of sunshine on our day!

From the moment she arrived, Claire brought such a calming presence and effortlessly put everyone at ease. Her incredible experience and knowledge shone through in everything she did — she blended in with our group so naturally, it felt like having another friend with us. I received compliments all morning on what a fantastic choice I’d made, and thanks to Claire, I truly felt like a million dollars (she even brought my groom to tears!). Her lovely assistant Annette was just as amazing — you can tell they both have a real passion for their craft.

I honestly can’t recommend Claire enough — she was such a special part of our day and I’ll be telling everyone about her!

Amazing!!!

i don't think i can express how amazing claire was from start to finish! She was on time, well prepared and professional.
On a personal note Claire fitted in perfectly with the mornings preparations, she was friendly and chatty with all the bridal party while still being able to continue with what she was doing.
It felt like she was a supportive friend rather than a paid professional just there to do a job.
I felt beautiful with my hair and make up done all day! It was done so well i didn't need to do any touch ups during the day/night and my hair stayed in place perfectly.
Claire went above and beyond for me and i don't know what i would have done if Claire hadn't helped guide my bridesmaids with doing up my dress! Claire helped calm a nearly very stressful situation.
Claire was also amazing with my 6year old daughter who loved having her hair done.
Recommend Claire 100000%

Amazing hair and makeup 💕

Thank you Claire for the most amazing hair and makeup- you made me feel like a princess on my wedding day. I was a nervous bride and Claire calmed me down loads and wasn’t at all phased by the chaos of the morning (with 2 puppies round her feet!). I’m not used to wearing lots of makeup but Claire got it absolutely perfect and made me feel totally at ease - thank you!

Such a kind person

Claire was absolutely amazing all the way through - starting with my make up trial and ending with the wedding. She listened to what I wanted and even when I decided to change my hair few weeks before the wedding she was more than happy to do it for me. All of my bridal party told me about how kind and lovely Claire was. I’d 100% recommend her

Professional and experienced

Claire was such a great choice for my wedding day hair and make-up artist. She was so lovely on the trail day and made me feel at ease. We tried out two hairstyles and Claire was more than happy for me to think about which one to choose and let her know before the wedding day. Claire and Annette were positive and really helpful, even when we started to run a little bit behind schedule. I would definitely highly recommend!
