Clairestyle

One of the last things I had to take care of for wedding planning was hair and makeup and I was planning for an SD backyard wedding from NYC during finals week of grad school; I was kind of all over the place to say the least. However, Claire’s professional, effective, and efficient communication via text and email made it very easy to choose and trust that I had made the right choice with only a week and a half left before the big day.
I had a DIY backyard wedding (at my Dad’s house) and was taking care of details/​setting up/​coordinating family and friends arriving during the morning of and all the way until the ceremony started. The only break I got was while I sat for Claire to do my hair and makeup in my Dad’s kitchen for an hour and a half. Not only did she make me feel like the most beautiful bride EVER because she is a master of her art, but her good energy and vibes honestly made the whole day better.
She came prepared with everything and anything that she could have needed and you kinda get the vibe that she’s seen it all and can really handle all that last minute wedding non-​sense and she just kept going patiently and kindly.
I am SOOO thankful she was part of my big day. Worth every cent! Quick suggestion: Since I booked her so last minute and had never had my hair and makeup done before I thought it was probably a good idea to send her pics of me in my dress without makeup and a couple pinterest hair and makeup ideas. She said it ended up working out better because she had a couple days to brainstorm about colors and what not; therefore, I recommend sending ideas/​pics of you in advance.
Do yourself a favor and book Claire!

I could never say enough good things about Claire. She has done hair and makeup for our brides (and their bridal parties, mothers, and grandmothers, etc.) for as long as we owned our event production company – more than 10 years! It was without hesitation that we would entrust her with our clients’ big days, and it was without hesitation that we would call her to help us with our personal hair and makeup needs.
Claire goes beyond being a talented hair and makeup artist; she brings a sense of calm to an exciting and potentially stressful day for brides.

Claire did wedding hair/​makeup for myself, two of my bridesmaids and two moms. I live out of town so we were unable to do a trial run but everything turned out beautiful! My girls looked stunning and they felt beauitful as well. My hairstyle turned out exactly as imagined and as someone who rarely wears makeup I felt gorgeous. It’s also worth noting that Claire was so fun to spend the morning of my wedding day with– I thoroughly enjoyed talking with her and my mom said she felt like she made a new friend! The perfect blend of professionalism and personality to make the experience one that my family and I will always treasure!

Claire provided beauty services for a bride and her ladies at the Coronado Marriott in November 2015 and did an AMAZING job! Claire had an assistant and they had everyone ready in time and without being rushed/​flustered. Claire arrived early and was extremely professional the entire pre planning process as well. Claire ensured she had the bride’s room number in advance too! I highly recommend Clairestyle for any beauty services!

Claire is amazing!!! She did my hair and makeup for my wedding in September and was such a pleasure to work with. From the moment I contacted her, Claire was extremely responsive and helpful. She also worked with me to arrange the timeline so myself and my bridesmaids would be ready on time.
On the day of the wedding, Claire arrived right in time and instantly made us all feel comfortable. She brought some speakers and played some music, making for a perfect getting ready atmosphere. She asked to see photos of what look we were going for and did a great job recreating it.
I highly recommend Claire. She is extremely professional, fun, and listened to everything we wanted done and made us all look beautiful! Thank you, Claire!

For my wedding, Claire did my hair and makeup, as well as my bridesmaids’ makeup. My review can be summed up in 4 words: Claire is absolutely amazing.
There isn’t anyone better than her! She took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted with BOTH my makeup and my hair. I don’t like a lot of makeup and this was my biggest worry with a makeup artist. Claire did a great job producing something that looked incredible while keeping my makeup light and natural. Also, while she was doing my hair and my bridesmaids’ makeup she chatted it up with all of us. She even brought music and speakers so we could jam out all morning! She made the morning of my wedding relaxing and fun. I didn’t even realize how stressed I was until Claire left the hotel room.
She is very punctual: Claire arrived early to set up and was DONE before our agreed upon time! She gave my photographer more time to capture his moments before our ceremony! Simply, Claire goes ABOVE and BEYOND!
All in all, Claire will give you exactly what you want for both hair and makeup. No exceptions. She wants you to have the best day possible and she delivers. THANK YOU CLAIRE!

Claire and Lane are amazing! Let me give you a little background: 1) it rained all throughout my wedding in the middle of the desert in drought-​stricken California, 2) the humidity was through the roof due to the rain… I have never sweated so much in CA before, 3) my dress fell apart about half way through the wedding – the organza sleeve just couldn’t take the humidity. However, through it all my make up looked fantastic and my hair did not fall.
Claire and Lane did make up and hair for me, my mother, my mother-​in-​law and my two bridesmaids… and we all looked stunning. We had a 1960 theme (as my dress was vintage) and did we look the part. The bumps were high, but not too high and the curls were luxurious. I opted for a high bun which looked elegant with a barrel curl. Many guests at the wedding said I looked like Audrey Hepburn, which was the look I was going for. Claire was punctual and extremely patient, especially since all the members of my party wanted something completely different from one another. Claire and Lane always had something positive to say, especially when the ominous rain-​filled clouds began to appear above the venue.
I truly loved working with Claire; she was fast with correspondence, scary fast even: she would contact me within a minute or two of emailing her and always had an answer for the many questions that I had.
Claire has very reasonable prices and takes great care of her customers. Stop Unilocal shopping and call/​email her now and book her before someone else does! You will not be sorry.

Claire is absolutely fabulous! She did makeup for me and my bridesmaids’ six years ago, and ever since then, I’ve been waiting for a reason to reach out to her again since she was truly that good :-) I had a birthday party this weekend and some friends and I wanted to get our makeup done — Claire came to my house and just did a wonderful job — everyone looked phenomenal! Thank you Claire! Best there is!

Claire did my hair and makeup for my wedding. She knew exactly what I wanted my hair to look like, and I received a number of compliments on the makeup. Not just, «you look beautiful,» but, «your makeup is incredible.» She is extremely punctual, works quickly & efficiently, and she kept me at ease as our prep time ticked away.
TIP: bring photos of examples of what you want her to do.

Claire is amazing!!! She did my hair for my wedding this weekend and it was beautiful! I felt like the gorgeous bride I wanted to be that day. When my nerves kicked in Claire stayed calm and worked with me to get everything just right. She is professional, knowledgeable, friendly and fun, and will help you find the look you love. I highly recommend Claire and am so thankful to have found her for my special day!

I’ve never felt so confident and wonderful as when Claire did my hair and make-​up. It is the best my hair has ever looked– and it stayed! Oh and did I mention it was my wedding day? Claire brought a team of two other assistants Ellie and Stacey and they were also fabulous. They got 7 girls hair and make-​up done from 9am-1:45am and everyone looked so perfect. I also loved that the price for make-​up included fake eyelashes and hair included putting in extensions (lots of places/​people charge extra for that). I wanted a really natural, yet still glamorous look and Claire was really able to nail it! I did have really bad experience at Naturale Beauty Bar prior to having my trial with Claire– so it was such a relief to find her! I would recommend her to any friend or family for Wedding day hair and make-​up!

As a professional Wedding Coordinator, I refer Claire regularly to my clients, and she always takes wonderful care of them and does a great job! She is very responsive, detailed, and friendly. She is a pleasure to be around on a wedding day and I am appreciative of her! This past weekend she did my hair and makeup for a gala I was attending and I loved what she did! I highly recommend her for both hair styling and makeup artistry!

I LOVE CLAIRE! She had done my hair and make-​up at a wedding I was in a few years ago and thought she did an amazing job for me as a bridesmaid and we even hit it off chatting and laughing as I got done up that day. A few years later and now it’s my turn to get hitched! I immediately went back to Claire and hired her to do hair and make-​up for my wedding last Friday (3−13−15). I am thrilled with how everyone looked (I had 9 others get hair and make-​up done) and I must say, I looked pretty amazing myself. The make-​up stayed on and my hair stayed up all night, even after dancing the night away.
Claire was such a pleasure to work with. She was responsive, knowledgeable and really cared about what I was looking for to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. She patiently worked with me when the first trial wasn’t exactly what I had in mind. I let her know that after I got home and was looking at my hair, it really wasn’t my style and she immediately offered to try again. When I showed up for the second trial, she had a model hair set-​up prepared so I can see how it would look. She took everything that I said I wanted and knocked it out of the park!
Claire showed up early on my wedding day with a team of ladies to make sure we stayed on time for my big day (we ended up being ahead of schedule). She has this ridiculous size make-​up case with every color imaginable so there’s nothing she couldn’t do! She’s got an awesome laid back personality that makes her easy to get along with everyone and you can tell she really cares about making sure you look perfect. She even brings a speaker set to get the room pumped up! Claire’s a gem and would highly recommend her to anyone!

Claire got in touch with me right away and was able to fit me in pretty last minute to have my hair and makeup done for my 30^th birthday. She was very welcoming and fun! I had some ideas for my hair & makeup that tied into my themed party and she did a wonderful job creating a style I wanted. I felt beautiful and playful, just what I wanted! Thanks so much Claire!

I wanted to get my makeup done for a wedding I was attending. I picked Claire after reading her reviews on Unilocal.I was not disappointed. She was so easy going and fun. I told her what I wanted and she offered suggestions that I loved. My look was very subtle but still had a wow effect. I received lots of compliments throughout the night. I will definitely use Claire in the future.

I found Claire through Unilocal to provide the makeup and hair for my daughter, stepdaughter and myself for my wedding. The Unilocal reviews I saw were very accurate! She is a joy to work with and made our entire entourage feel comfortable! Claire made sure she knew what we were all looking for by having us send her pictures of «looks» we liked. Then we met her and she created a «practice» look for us several weeks before the wedding. This not only helped Claire learn more about us and what we wanted to achieve, but it gave us all a preview of our hair and makeup for the big day. Our ages are 55, 32, and 24 and her approach fit all of us.
We cannot thank her enough. Not only did we feel beautiful at the wedding but she recreated us again later in the week for our reception! Claire came to us onsite to Rancho Valencia for the wedding and also to our home. She is very accommodating, warm, talented and a complete professional. Thank you Claire!!! We will recommend you to everyone who needs your talents and look for us to come back for special events!

I just got married on the beach in San Diego last week. After searching for a make-​up and hair artist, I could not have found a better woman than Claire to do it. She is professional, comes prepared, and is very easy going. As an out of town bride, I sent Claire pictures of what I wanted, and on my wedding day she definitely delivered! Claire also showed up to my hotel room, which made it so easy for my other bridesmaids and I to get ready, as well as just hang out and relax. Also, when other bridesmaids wanted their hair or make-​up done and wasn’t sure what they wanted, Claire knew exactly what to do. I would recommend her again and again!

I had a great experience with Claire for my beach wedding. The woman marrying us suggested Claire and so I booked a «practice run» which I was lucky enough to do sitting outside on her deck. She listened very carefully to what I had to say and I felt like she knew me by the end of our first appointment. She is excellent at answering emails and phone calls promptly and it was extremely easy to book and talk to her! On the wedding day she showed up early, had a plan and it was great to just let her work! I am SO SO happy with how my hair turned out. I would 100% suggest her for any bride. I trusted her totally and would have her do my hair anytime. SHe was also extremely easy to talk to and it was fun to spend a few hours with her.
Thanks Claire

If ever there is a day where a girl should feel like the most beautiful belle of the ball, it is her wedding day; and if ever there is an artist who can make that happen, it is indeed Claire. Claire is a magical fairy godmother with divinely skillful makeup and hair talents which will transform any maiden into the fairest one of all.
On my most special day, Claire made me feel like the most beautiful rendition of myself as I vowed eternal love and devotion to the most beautiful soul I have ever known. She gave me a soft glow to my skin, an innocent blush to my cheeks, a smoky sparkle to my eyes, and dewy petal hue to my lips. My hair was a soft and romantic bouquet of curls gathered into an effortless up-​do, which easily accommodated the insertion and removal of a veil and a large side flower adornment.
Beyond her artistic talents, Claire is a lovely, wonderful lady who can soothe the stressful air of the day, and set at ease the most nervous of nerves. She is very accommodating to your location and schedule and provides excellent communication and follow up prior to the special day. I could not recommend her enough to be your magical hair and makeup artist for your magical day.

Claire recently did makeup for myself (the bride), my bridesmaids, and mothers of the bride and groom for my wedding. I was absolutely 100% satisfied! What I like about Claire is that she will do whatever it takes to satisfy her clients. She really listens to your requests and visions if you’re the «in control» makeup type (me).
BUT– If your the «I don’t know what I want, just work your magic!» type person– Claire is also your girl. She did makeup for my mother and mother-​in-​law and I was so pleased, they both looked great and they didn’t look overdone. All of my bridesmaids looked fantastic in person and their makeup photographed great ! She showed up early, set up quickly, and got 7 women done with time to spare. She is extremely reasonable, highly professional, and does awesome makeup. Thanks Claire!!!
