Meet Claire Finegan

Happy Brides. Happy Vibes.


With a lifelong passion for hair and over two decades of experience from salon floors to TV set, I’ve styled everyone from brides to celebrities. I trained with Peter Mark in Dublin and worked with some of Ireland’s top names in hairdressing before running my own successful salon in Dublin 4.

My journey into weddings began naturally—helping with events as a child, then fully embracing bridal styling after starting my own family. During COVID, I created my cozy home studio for bridal preps, which clients now lovingly call their “sanctuary.”

I specialise in making each bride feel like the best version of herself—calm, confident, and radiant. From private trials to popping champagne on the big day, I bring a fun, professional energy that keeps the morning running smoothly.

Whether it’s an intimate elopement or a full bridal party, I travel across Leinster and beyond to create flawless, lasting looks. Happy brides, happy vibes—I've got you covered.

“I have been a professional bridal stylist for many years,
you wouldn’t believe how many! Being part of a bride’s day is an important task, keeping things calm and fun is very important. A wedding morning should be a great buzz, popping champagne along with keeping the morning scheduled and on time.
