Making you the most beautiful version of yourself on your wedding day

Hi and welcome! I’ve been styling brides for more years than I can count, and I still love every moment of it. From calm, bubbly-filled mornings to keeping things on track and on time, I’m all about making your wedding day stress-free and fun. Whether it’s just you or a whole bridal (or Groom) party, I’ve got the experience to handle it all. I am delighted to work with LGBTQ couples too #loveislove.

As a fully qualified and award winning hair stylist, I’m here to make sure you look and feel amazing from start to finish. Based in Bray Co Wicklow I have my own private studio for bridal hair trials.

I cover Leinster and the surrounding Counties traveling to private homes and wedding venues.

I focus on the natural beauty you envision for your special day—elevated, never altered

Professional Styling That’s Picture Perfect

For Brides

When each bride meets me at their private trial appointment she will always feel confident in my chair from the hairstyle choice and advice to my night before tips and tricks everything inbetween to make a morning run smoothly.

“Thanks again Claire for everything you did for us on the day, you couldn’t have been more helpful and were a joy to have with us! Everyones hair looked perfect and stayed perfect all night!”

I get along great with everyone—whether it’s the bridal tribe, the groom’s family, or the whole hen party. Big or small, I’ve got a trusted team I can call on for both hair and makeup. I’ve seen it all, and being a fully qualified hair stylist means I’m ready for anything—even a fringe trim if needed! My brides will tell you—I really am the full package.

For Bridal Party

My private studio in Bray was created as a calm, welcoming space exclusively for bridal trials and one-on-one time with my brides. It’s where we bring your vision to life ahead of the big day. Due to high demand, I have a limited waiting list for new clients outside of weddings.

My Private Studio

I work with everybody

  • I met Claire 7 months before my wedding. She helped plan my hair and style with great professionalism. Beyond hairstyling, she became a trusted confidante, helping me with everything from bridesmaid gifts to tanning decisions.

  • Claire is an incredibly kind and talented hairstylist who went above and beyond for me, an American bride planning my wedding in Ireland from the USA. During an especially difficult time after my father passed away, Claire showed me genuine care and support, even before we had met. She helped me find a makeup artist, gave invaluable travel advice, and ensured I felt completely taken care of. She even drove to my hotel for a hair trial and gave me one of the best haircuts I’ve ever had on my wedding day. I couldn’t imagine my day without her—she’s not only an amazing professional but a truly beautiful person. Book her—you won’t be disappointed!

  • Claire was an absolute joy to work with for my wedding day. From our first meeting 7 months before the wedding, she guided me with professionalism and care, helping plan my hairstyle and much more—from bridesmaid gifts to tanning options. Her wedding experience truly shone on the big day, arriving well-prepared and making everything run smoothly. She made us all feel at ease, and we were thrilled with our beautiful bouncy curls that lasted all night. I would highly recommend Claire to any bride-to-be!

    Megan

  • Claire is just the utmost professional and multi-talented. She was so easy to get along with and really suited our chilled out vibe. She made everyone feel at ease. We all LOVED our hair. She incorporated flowers from the bouquets/ corsages into our hair too!. It was all just stunning. Honestly couldn't recommend her enough. She gave me so many helpful tips and tricks - even outside of the hair department!!
