About Me

I've been a bridal hairstylist in hampshire for 15 years now & It's been THE BEST experience! I'm never really "just a hairstylist" in this industry. I've dressed brides, dried flower stems, gathered up the bridesmaids & delegated on my brides behalf. I work your timeline, calm your nerves, make you laugh & wipe your tears. I'm basically the extra bridesmaid..... that knows ALOT about weddings & happens to be really good at hair! :) 

I also teach & coach other hair & makeup artists to do the same!

"I'm for the bride that just wants to feel herself....but even more special!

For the relaxed, care-free bride."

Bit of an explorer! When I'm not working with hair & winging content creation, I'm out walking dogs & exploring different villages, cafes & forests. In fact, I feel most myself when I'm in the forest.

​

I love art, photography, music, community, nature & the perfect coffee..... (seriously I really like my coffee!). I'm obviously a bit of a romantic too. Don't think you can be in this industry if you're not. I don't have any children & prob never will now........ but I do have a cat..... lol. Plus I also care for other peoples pets on the side. Their my babies. Between my businesses, life & my animals I'm a very happy & busy millenial.

My Loves

Sam Says...

"After a glowing review from a friend, I knew I had to have Claire for my bridal hair. She is absolutely incredible at what she does and made me feel amazing on my wedding day. If you’re getting married you NEED Claire for hair 👌🏻 She is professional, fun and brings a real sense of calm to your wedding day… SO glad I chose her!"

"I'll probably reference 'gavin & stacey' at some point (or something equally out of date!) or turn something we've said into a popular 90's chorus...... just so you're aware." 

My Style​

​

I love creating effortless looks. A little boho, meets editorial, meets.... "I just woke up like this" kinda looks. The undone, romantic simplicity. Sounds like a load of waffle but you get my drift. Whimsical & textured.

​My Advice

 

​Don't get too swept away with the bridal template. Wear, do & look how ever you want! Your wedding day is an extension of your love story. It's YOUR story & YOUR memories. So choose suppliers that align with your values & vision. 

​

Have fun & be present. With great suppliers around you, being calm & present will be the easy bit!
