My name is Claire Hartley and I am an experienced hair and make-up artist based in Kent. I have always had a love of fashion and excelled in creative subjects. I completed a HND in Fashion Styling and Photography at the prestigious and internationally known London College of Fashion. Specialising in styling in my final year, it was here that I developed a keen eye for detail and what works in front of a camera. Having completed my course I decided to further my love of fashion and train in Hairdressing. I have been in the hair industry since 2001 and find it hugely creative which I love. Over the course of the next 17 years I worked internationally in a few, select salons. I have greatly enjoyed experiencing positions in some well known chain hairdressers as well as some very select boutique businesses. I have picked up many different techniques in all areas of hairdressing which have all contributed to the style I use today.
When I decided to set up a business myself, I trained in makeup and I am currently throughly enjoying offering bridal hair and makeup services to my clients. The benefit of nearly two decades of experience means that you will look and feel your very best on your special day and you can enjoy the experience without reservation. It’s a great privilege to be selected as a HMUA for a wedding or special occasion and one that I thoroughly enjoy.
