Flawless by name, Flawless by nature!

If I could rate more than 5* I would!! Claire and the team were incredible from start to finish, I can not find a single fault! Claire done my bridal hair and make up for my wedding and I have never felt more beautiful in my life. I have comments all day about how flawless my skin look and how incredible my hair looked! Georgina and Bev also done an incredible job in making my bridesmaids and both my mum and the grooms mum feel beautiful! They went above and beyond, even helping with all the last minute rush and clean up ahead of the ceremony. They done everything possible to put me at ease in the morning and I can’t thank them all enough. The communication from start to finish was excellent and Ellis was there on email whenever I needed her! I can’t say enough positive words or recommend Claire Jane’s Totally Flawless enough!!

Amazing hair & make up experience

Huge thank you to Nisha for my Bridal hair & make up, and my mums mother of the bride hair & make up. We had a trial in July at the gorgeous Totally Flawless studio in Basingstoke - a very cool place to work out what we wanted for the day. Then the morning of the wedding, getting ready at my parents house, was so peaceful. Nisha made us feel totally calm and at ease, and listened to any tweaks we wanted make. Both of us are quite self conscious and nervous about having our hair and make up done so to actually enjoy the experience for us was a big deal.

Nisha is wonderful, thoroughly recommend you check out her profile and have a trial with her for your wedding. Thank you!

Glowing bridal makeup

I couldn’t have been happier with my lovely team from totally flawless. I had so many compliments on the day and I’ve honestly never seen my skin look so glowing before. They also did an amazing job of doing my mum and my five bridesmaid’s make up and hair as well. They all wanted something different from glam to more natural and everyone was so so happy with the result. The whole experience was such a nice relaxed and fun start to the day. I had Corrina do my hair and make up and then Elis, Bev and Jess did the hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and mum - all of them were amazing. Thank you so much x

Genuinely Flawless!

Cannot recommend these guys enough! My trial with Claire was so fun and relaxed and she created the look I wanted effortlessly!
On the morning Claire, Helen and Ellis were so fun and laid back but also true professionals. By bridesmaids all looked stunning and we all felt incredible.
I’ve had a makeup lesson with Claire since to learn the wedding look I was so thrilled with it. Honestly just the best experience start to finish and I’ll always be incredibly grateful to them!

Amazing wedding hair and makeup

We used Totally You for my bridal hair and makeup and my bridesmaids hair and makeup and it did not disappoint. We were able to all have trials and as the bride it really helped me to get excited as to what the girls would all look like! The studio is a lovely space for trials and the girls were amazing on the day, considering how unorganised we were our end! Thank you so much we all looked amazing!

I could have done it myself

I wanted a loose boho updo for my wedding day, so I looked through the stylists and their work and chosen a stylist that would be a able to create the look as was wanting. I contacted the salon and I was told that this particular stylist was unavailable, but the manager recommended another stylist that she could guarantee that she would be competent and that the manager herself would overlook her work on my trial.
Once I arrived at the salon which was over an hour a way I was greatest by a young stylist. No manager in sight. She asked what I wanted and I showed pictures and talked through it and she then began to work on my hair. At over a £100 for a trail you would expect a decent standard. All the way through my appointment I had to ask her to correct parts of my hair. I wanted a relaxed look but this was just messy, like I had thrown it up myself. The manager returned and gVe a few pointers and by the end I was happy. The day of the wedding came and the same stylist came to do my hair. I was so so dissapointed with what she done, but it was too late to do anything else. I had hair extensions in for thickness and they were showing and in general my hair looked stringy and messy, not soft and loose as i wanted. I had to get a friend to touch up my hair as best as she could, because the stylist just didn't have a clue. For nearly £400 including trial I would not recommend this company.

Amazing hair and makeup!

My hair and make up was amazing I couldn’t have asked for any better.

My hair did not move all day and my make up stayed fresh I didn’t even have to top it up!
Thank you so much Zoe, keep doing what you do! You are amazing

Helen - an incredible listener

I was lucky enough to have Helen Heatherwick work with us for my wedding in June. I couldn't be more grateful for her patience, help, kindness and ability to grasp what I wanted for the day. She put me completely at ease at the trial, and understood the brief perfectly - "Me, but on a really good day". She also showed me that sometimes less is more when it comes to foundation and I will be forever grateful for that! Helen was such a calming influence on the day, and checked in with me to make sure all was ok. She noticed when I was feeling more nervous, and I so appreciated that! Olivia and Bev from Totally Flawless were also amazing in being so speedy and understanding what I wanted in the bridesmaid hair and make up. They were even able to adapt and slip in an extra hair which was so kind of them! A shout out to Ellis too for being so great throughout the process from booking to the big day. I couldn't recommend Totally Flawless enough!

Amazing natural wedding makeup

Helen did my bridal and bridesmaids makeup and we were absolutely thrilled! She listened to our preferences and kept it light and dewy as requested, and our makeup didn’t budge all day!! Would 100% recommend!

10/10, stunning hair and makeup!

Claire did such an amazing job with my hair and makeup for my wedding day, I’m usually very self conscious but after she’d worked her magic I felt like a movie star! Nisha did stunning hair on all my bridesmaids and nailed the reference picture I showed her. Couldn’t recommend Totally Flawless more, book them while you can!

Created some great looks!

I used Totally Flawless for my wedding hair and makeup as well as my bridesmaids' hair and my mum's hair and makeup. Bev and Andra were fabulous and did such an amazing job!

Bev did my trial and my hair and makeup on the day. She was so attentive, listening to exactly what I did and didn't like and helped create a look that I got endless compliments for on the day! She really helped me feel calm on the wedding morning and even put on a 90s playlist for us to enjoy as background music!

Andra made my bridesmaids look even more gorgeous than usual. She created a unique hairstyle for each of them just based on a few photos of what they liked and the end result was beautiful.

Claire, Helen and Ellis have been so helpful ever since I first got in touch and have answered all of my questions along the way. Could not recommend the team highly enough! :)

Amazing Bridal Hair Stylist

Claire did my hair for my wedding, as well as my bridesmaids and mother of the bride and she was absolutely fantastic. From the moment I contacted her, she was very quick to respond, did a fantastic trial for me, and was super understanding when I had to cancel only a week before my wedding due to the pandemic. Re-arranging was super easy and she did an absolutely beautiful job on my hair (and my bridesmaids + mum!). I was absolutely thrilled and got a lot of comments on the day on how beautiful it was. Thanks so much Claire!

Totally brilliant hair and makeup

Totally Flawless were absolutely brilliant from start to finish. I chose Helen to do hair and makeup for my wedding. I had a trial hair and makeup session first. Helen really listened to my ideas and gave me natural looking makeup and a messy bun with a plait and they were exactly how I imagined they would be. On the big day Helen brought Olivia with her as there were several people in my bridal party. Both Helen and Olivia were relaxed, friendly and helpful and at the end of the session we all looked amazing! Helen even helped do up the tiny buttons on the back of my dress as my wedding party were struggling. Everyone at the wedding commented on how beautiful we all looked. I couldn't have picked better people to do our hair and makeup.
