Chapter 01 — Hello
Bridal hair & makeup · Norman, Oklahoma
Hi, I’m Claire. I bring the pins, the lashes and the calm.
I do bridal hair and makeup across central Oklahoma, from barn weddings in Noble to ballrooms in the city. One bride a day, and I stay until you walk.
Meet Claire
I was the bridesmaid with the curling iron.
In college at OU, I did hair for every formal on my floor. Then my roommate asked me to do her wedding, and her mother asked for my number afterward. That was 2016, and I have not had a free June Saturday since.
I trained in makeup so brides would not have to book two artists and hope they agreed. Now I plan your hair and face as one look, test it at a trial, and write it down so the day runs exactly like the trial did.
xo, Claire

Kind words from the chair
Oklahoma wind in October and my updo did not budge. Claire’s timeline was better than my planner’s.
She made my mom feel just as pretty as me. My mom cried. I cried. Claire had tissues.
The engagement glam was basically my trial. On the wedding day there were zero surprises.
Good to know
Questions, answered
How far ahead should I book?
Most of my brides book eight to twelve months out. Fridays and winter dates open up later.
How many people can you do?
Up to seven services on a wedding morning. Past that, I bring one assistant I trained myself.
When is the trial?
Six to ten weeks before the wedding, after your dress fitting.
What if it rains?
I build every style for humidity and pack a rain plan. Oklahoma keeps me honest.
Do you do lashes?
Yes. Strip or cluster lashes are included for brides, and $15 for the party.
Can I bring my own makeup?
Bring anything you love and I will work it in. I check ingredients if your skin is sensitive.
Gift a chair day
Trials and engagement glam make great shower gifts. Cards in any amount.
