Hair and Makeup Artistry by Claudine

us with her time and expertise. I cannot recommend her enough!!

m, calm, professional, quick to respond to last minute emails/texts, and an expert when it comes to beautiful hair and makeup. Prior to my actual wedding day, Claudine had studied pictures from my bridal trial and made minor changes in order to execute the most PERFECT hair and make up look for the wedding day. She was so sweet to my Mom, who also experimented with a new hairstyle on the wedding day, that came out absolutely stunning! Claudine and her team flawlessly executed hair and makeup for myself, 9 bridesmaids, and 2 moms. Everyone even had time for touch ups before the wedding day festivities started! Claudine is hands down the best of the best and I feel so incredibly fortunate to have had her on my wedding day team! I can't recommend her enough!

it. I've never loved my hair more. Aside from her work, she was calming and her presence on the day of made everything better. Everyone else loved their hair as well! I am forever grateful to have worked with Claudine!!

f. Claudine was organized, timely, and efficient. We are also so appreciative of her flexibility after having had to postpone our wedding three times due to Covid. Claudine rolled with the punches each time and I am so happy that she was able to still be a part of our wedding day even after all the date changes. I cannot recommend her highly enough for your wedding planning and day!

. They made us all feel the most beautiful and I am so grateful to have had them part of our day. Can't wait for the next big occasion to get my hair done :)

ning in the end! Thank you ladies, job well done!

nd she felt so beautiful. Claudine did such a good job that my hair stayed styled the following day. Claudine is creative, adaptable and super personable. Especially during the pandemic, Claudine made me feel safe and comfortable. Claudine was an absolute dream to work with. I cannot wait for another excuse to get my hair and makeup done!

our planning process and she was always responsive and helpful. The hair trial for both the bride and myself MOB were perfection - we knew we had just made the best decision and could not wait for the wedding day! Michelle loved her hair trial so much she decided to have her come do her hair and makeup for her bridesmaids luncheon and rehearsal dinner. Claudine created the most adorable party ponytail that day and Michelle’s make up was flawless! She looked stunning. The next day for the wedding Claudine created stunning and beautiful hairstyles for every bridesmaid and MOB and MOG we were all thrilled with our hair and so touched by how caring and thoughtful Claudine was on each of us! We could not recommend her high enough - the beauty is in the pictures! We know she will be doing one of the next girls wedding - she set the bar super high! She is an awesome person hair stylist and make up artist! Super to work with!

n and individual eyelashes! Very natural looking and not overdone. My hairstyles were half up and half down both felt put together but relaxed. Exactly what I wanted! She is also very quick at responding and extremely accommodating when we switched the schedule a few times. Day of was also easy and all the girls looked incredible!

So I hired her as soon as I got engaged. Claudine is so sweet!! Additionally, she is a great listener! If I didn't like something in my hair or with my makeup, I didn't hesitate to tell her and also didn't feel bad about asking her to tweak something in my hair or with my makeup. She said to me, "This is your big day and I want you to love your hair and make up!!" And I sure did love it all when she was complete! My hair and makeup exceeded my expectations! The front of my hair was elegant and regal and the back of my hair was incredibly feminine and dainty. Claudine carefully tucked white flowers and greenery into my hair...I felt so beautiful! As for my make up, my husband requested that, "I look myself." He didn't want me to be covered up in make up! So I told her to please give me a natural look. She definitely delivered that request too! While looking natural, she also made me look especially beautiful by highlighting my cheekbones, making my lashes extra long (without the use of fake eyelashes), and by giving my lips a pop of pink with lipstick. It was all perfect. Lastly, she did an excellent job sticking to the timeline. On the day of the wedding, we were on a pretty strict timeline (as most brides are!). She and her assistants were very efficient and everything ran on time. I was very impressed with this. She made me and my bridesmaids feel very relaxed while also making sure that everything was done on time. I cannot say enough great things about Claudine! I'm so sad our wedding day is over, because I truly felt sooooo beautiful and felt like a queen!! Thanks so much, to the effort of Claudine!

lot as we had a really great team! She absolutely nails boho chic, and a ‘naturally beautiful’ look – emphasis on the natural. First, I will praise Claudine’s skills. She truly is an artist and a hair and makeup expert. She understood the hair and makeup look I was going for exactly, and listened carefully to my thoughts and feedback. We decided together that for the wedding I would continue growing out my hair, get an even lighter shade of blond highlights, and as for makeup she would intensify the eyes a bit, and use more of my requested bronzer (since it would be summer). When all of this came together on my wedding day, I was truly blown away. It sounds strange to say, but I couldn’t believe how great I looked. Claudine also did the hair of my 7 bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother in law. This was a huge feat, and being a type A person, I was worried about our timeline. Claudine pulled through, stuck to our timeline, and REALLY impressed my wedding party. My Mom was thrilled with how she looked. My bridesmaids absolutely loved Claudine. In fact one of my friends who lives in Manhattan asked if Claudine would be able to travel to New York to do her hair and makeup eventually for her wedding! Claudine’s demeanor is also exactly what you need on your wedding day. She is so sweet and easy to talk to. But she’s also very concentrated and will stay in the background when necessary. She is focused and clearly takes her work very seriously. If you are considering Claudine, you have to choose her. Photos last a lifetime, and I can imagine if you felt any part of your look is not up to par on your wedding day, it would be a major disappointment. I can guarantee Claudine will NOT disappoint, and will instead make you look back knowing your wedding day was the most beautiful you have ever looked. Thank you, Claudine!

as I was living out of town). I lean towards more natural make-up and she did such a great job of that as well, while it photographed beautifully. She also did hair for 5 bridesmaids, the mother of the bride, and the mother of the groom. Everyone showed her photos of different styles (braids, updos, curls, etc.) and she nailed every look. Very impressive! And sweet to work with!

ly nervous about the makeup being too heavy after having had bad experiences in other weddings. Claudine tailored the hair/makeup to each person’s desires, going very light and natural on me while also doing airbrushing to prevent oiliness on my fairly humid wedding day. My mom and I had a great trial hair/makeup day a few months before the wedding and Claudine made it such a nice experience for both of us. She is super easygoing and was able to use the photos we showed her from Pinterest and turned them into something amazing for us. All my bridesmaids loved her too and she was a champ to hang out with all 8 of us for 5 hours on a Saturday morning! Would definitely recommend her to anybody getting married in the DMV area.
