Claire Harmer Professional Make-up Artist Full Description
Claire offers a friendly, professional service and will make sure you feel relaxed and comfortable during the preparation for your big day. Using her extensive knowledge, she will create a look for you that will make you look and feel the most beautiful version of yourself. Claire recommends a trial session for your hair and make-up before your wedding day. (Normally around 6-8 weeks prior to your wedding) When you have your trial Claire will discuss with you your colour scheme, bridesmaids’ dresses and the over all look that you want to achieve. Once Claire has an understanding of what your wedding will be like she will then advise and trial different looks for you to see.

Fantastic hair styling 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!

Simply Brilliant
Claire was brilliant from start to finish when I booked her for my wedding day. Availability for my trial was great and she made great suggestions and made me feel at ease on the trial and the big day. She even did my mom’s make up too which was amazing!! Look no further for a hair and make up artist you will not be disappointed.

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 the best wedding make-up artist, she is highly skilled and delivers top-quality customer service with a smile. I recommend her for your big day, she did my make-up and hair for my wedding and the make-up for my bridesmaids, we looked so beautiful and natural throughout the celebration all thanks to her. She is simply the best.

She was wonderful
Claire was absolutely amazing. She had some great advice for hair and make up and really took the time at the trial to make sure I was happy for the big day. She was really friendly and punctual on the big day and did a wonderful job with my bridal party. I would definitely recommend her!

Thank you!
Claire, I cannot thank you enough for the lovely make-up and hair you did for my day. You made me feel like a princess at my wedding! Both the make-up and hair lasted all day without having to do any touch ups. From the first day I contacted you, going through the trial day, you were always very friendly and easy to get with. Everything I wanted was a natural look, and you produced exactly what I was looking for. You helped to make our day the perfect day it was. Thank you!

Amazing Service
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

Exceptional Service, lovely friendly person
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.

Talented and Professional
Claire was absolutely incredible from the trial day right through to my wedding day. Claire is very professional and easy to get in contact with as well as being so friendly, I don't normally wear much make up and she listened to everything I wanted and suggested ideas when I didn't have a clue! I cant thank her enough for making me feel beautiful on my special day and her timings were perfect so no stressing on the day! I would highly recommend her services.

Perfect wedding make-up
Claire did the make-up for both me and my sister for my wedding, she is very friendly and professional and we were both very happy with our make-up. Claire offered a trial for us both where she tried 2 different looks, she listened to exactly what we wanted and we both loved what she did. I don't generally wear make-up and Claire ensured my make-up was very light and natural which was perect for me. I had my reception the day after my wedding and whilst Claire already had bookings on the day of my reception, she managed to fit me in and did an amazing job on both occasions. I would highly recommend Claire for your wedding make-up.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What about your business are you most proud of?

My most proud moment was winning 'Highly Commended' for the wedding Industry awards 2021.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

It's a good idea to book your suppliers early then be guided by them on what you need to do when.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Gosh, there are quite a few amazing ideas I have seen but one that sticks in my mind, because it was so effective, was when a bride had made her own bouquet. Instead of flowers she had made origami flowers out of old maps. Her colour scheme was light blue plus, her and her partner loved travelling together so it was a perfect personal touch.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Once you have confirmed your booking we will look at setting a date for your trial. On your trial we will have a good chat about the style of your wedding, your dress and what kind of look you would like to go for. We will then trial out your bridal look and make sure you are completely happy with your final look. At your trial we will discuss the timings etc of the wedding day so everything is all planned out. I will then email you the details we have discussed so you know exactly what we are doing on your wedding day.

What do you love most about your job?

Being part of someones special day and watching how happy everyone is.

What is your No. 1 beauty tip for a bride?

Always drink plenty of water. Start a good skin care routine about a year before your wedding to ensure your skin is at it's best. Also, try and have your eyebrows tidied a few days before your trial and wedding day. If you are planning to have lash extensions it is a good idea to trial this a few months before your wedding day to check you like the look and feel of them. Oops, that was more than one tip!

How do you keep the bride feeling calm on her wedding day?

I allow plenty of time for each person for their hair and make up so the morning can feel relaxed and calm ensuring everyone can enjoy themselves. I will then be around to help the bride and bridal party with anything they need whilst getting ready togo.
