Claire I cannot praise and thank-you enough for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day on 3rd June 2010. I don't often wear my hair up, and therefore I was a little tentative. However, you listened and did exactly what I asked for; a sophisticated up do which was soft around my face. The smokey eye make-up looked fantastic, and everyone said how you'd really brought out the blue of my eyes. I was also a bit anxious about wearing foundation, as I never do. But it was so subtly applied, and my skin just looked glowing
When I arrived at the venue (Arundel Wetland Centre) a little girl approached me and asked if I was Cinderalla!! Well, it must be every girl's dream to look like Cinderalla and, althought this tickled me, as a result I walked into the ceremony just feeling fabulous.
Claire, as well as being a very talented hair and make-up artist, you're also a lovely person. You arrived to help with plenty of time, you were organisd, calm, chatty and really up beat, which is exactly what you want on your wedding morning. You were also on hand right at the last minute to help with last minute 'emergencies'.
I really cannot recommend you enough, and to anyone who is contemplating paying to have their hair and make-up done, I'd say Claire really is worth every penny; you will look and feel fab!!

Dear Claire
Just writing to say a huge thankyou for the hair and make-up that you did for Hollie's wedding. You are a mistress of your craft and brought out the best in all of us. Hollie looked so beautiful as did the bridesmaids. I didn't look too bad either - big challenge so thankyou! Hollie looked wonderful all day and into the evening and many guests commented how beautiful she looked. You made her special day even more special - many thanks.
kind regards

Firstly thank you so much for everything on my wedding day, you were both amazing and I can't tell you how grateful I am. Even after changing my mind with my hair a couple of times and being unsure about what I wanted to do with my make up (right up to the late morning of my wedding!) you continued to stay calm, didn't get irritated or stressed, just gave clear and confident advice. My skin broke out very badly before our big day and my eczema also made an unwelcome return on my chin and cheeks, all (as well as my sun damaged skin which I've never been successful in hiding myself) were completely covered without looking 'layered on,' leaving me with a flawless finish that I've never before had. I was also very nervous on the day and found yours and Yaz's presence very calming, you must be very proud of her, she's a real credit to you. The results were fantastic and everyone commented on how stunning it looked, I felt amazing and was so pleased that I chose you to do it. I can't recommend or praise you enough. Thank you, Claire!

I got married on 29th of May 2010 at Pelham House in Lewes and being a very organised individual I had my hair and make-up artist booked by November. I booked someone whohad been recommended by a friend of a friend. Several months later she suddenly tried to charge me 60% more than she had quoted me, so I cancelled my booking and set about the task of finding someone else. I came across Claires website and I after reading some of the testimonials and watching her video I decided to see if she was available. Thankfully she was so my trial was booked for April.
Both of my bridemaids accompanied me to the trial. Claire was doing my hair and make-up and my bridesmaids hair. What struck me instantly about Claire was her easygoing nature. I was quite nervous as I have very fine hair and it wasn't as long as I would have liked so I was worried I would be quite limited in what I could have done. Claire talked through some options with me asking my ideas and opinions and then tried several styles until we found "the one". Claire also asked questions in relation to my skin, did I have any problem areas, what skin type I had etc, so that she could make an informed decision on which products would suit my skin the best. Before commencing the trial Claire cleansed my face and also used an anti-bacterial gel on her hands. She explained that hygiene was very important to her and that she washed her brushes after every use and only ever used disposable mascara wands. This really impressed me and is something not all professional artists do (and I talk from past experience).
I left the trial happy and confident that on my big day both myself and my bridesmaids would look amazing and would have nothing to worry about.
The big day finally arrived and everything was perfect (except the weather!). Claire was fun, yet professsional and kept us all calm and we still found plenty of time to laugh and enjoy the whole experience. I got so many comments from people about how I looked and my hubby was blown away! I really did look and feel like a princess! And my bridemaids looked gorgeous too.
Claire did such an amazing job that I am so relieved I cancelled my first hairdresser. It must've been fate! I would recommend Claire to any bride-to-be. Her service is exceptional and she is great fun to work with. I wish I could do it all over again!

Claire helped me to feel absoloubtly amazing on my wedding day - it's definitely the best I've ever looked and probably ever will! She was great to have there whilst we were getting ready as although she is completely professional, she is also warm and friendly and helped to put me at ease amongst all of the excitement and nerves! My hair and make-up held all day and Claire's skill meant that I felt really beautiful on what turned out to be the best day of my life!

Dear Claire,
Thank you very much for transforming me into a beautiful bride on my wedding day at Newick Park hotel. Everyone commented on how perfect my hair was and how great my makeup looked. It all perfectly complimented by beautiful dress. I am so glad I took your advice and opted for the messy side bun with gorgeous sparkly accessories you recommended (and supplied) which looked amazing with my asymmetric Spanish style dress. Thank you for being so patient with me during my trial and helping me make decisions, especially as I am such a fussy client and always aim for perfection! Thank you so much for being a part of my brilliant wedding day, you were very professional, but also good fun and helped me to relax and really enjoy getting ready.
Thank you again, Gemma Hopkins

Claire was great at understanding the look I was trying to achieve for my big day. The end look was perfect for what I had envisioned in my head but had not so brilliantly described.
Claires professionalism and experience really showed through. On the day she worked really hard and even managed to fit in an extra person for make up.
She was a pleasure to have around in the hustle and bustle of the wedding morning and we even had time for a bit of a laugh.
I would recommend highly recommend her.

Amid the chaos of organising a wedding what you really need is help from reliable, professional people whose opinion you can trust and who you can rely on and that’s just what I found in Claire. During our first meeting Claire listened carefully to what I wanted and gave really helpful advice especially about small things I could do to ensure my skin was in peak condition for the big day. Her design suggestions for my hair and make-up really helped me to get the exact look I wanted.
The morning of the wedding was a whirl of comings and goings. Claire arrived exactly on time (a little early actually) and soon settled herself in the available room. She was amazingly flexible about the space and the order of people she styled and was completely relaxed and focussed even though there was a constant stream of people coming and going nearly all of them wanting to speak to me about something or other.
My hair and make-up looked wonderful and gave me exactly the look I had imagined thanks to Claire’s attention to detail. She made everyone feel comfortable and her serene manner was contagious. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any Bride-to-be.

I contacted Claire after finding her details in a Sussex bridal magazine. She was very professional and friendly from the start. Any bride-to-be knows how stressful it gets and I can honestly say all my contact with Claire was stress-free and enjoyable. She came up with a very elegant ‘up-do’ style for me which looked fantastic and was just what I wanted.
On the day Claire was punctual, efficient and CALM, which is what you want on the morning of your wedding day! She had her work cut out with not only myself but my 4 bridesmaid’s hair styles to do. I soon realised why she had advised that she came at 8.30am! Claire even averted disaster when, straight after she had finished my hair I walked out the room and immediately bumped my head on a low beam (I am tall!) and made a bit of a dent in my brand new hair-do. (I blame it on all the excitement) A quick and skillful repair job and it looked perfect again. All the bridesmaids looked wonderful too and we had a fantastic day. My hair was still intact at 3am! I would certainly recommend Claire to other brides-to-be. Thank you Claire!
