Melissa Clare Makeup & Hair

Mel and her team were the hair and make up artists for one of my brides. They provided hair and make up for the bride, 4 bridesmaids and the mother of the bride, Mel also came back in the evening to do a touch up service. The girls looked beautiful, hair and make up stayed in place all day, they worked to a pre-planned schedule, keeping the wedding morning running on time and were a pleasure to have around. I would certainly recommend to future clients.

I found Melissa through Bridebook and arranged a trial shortly after. Melissa is extremely talented with hair and make up which is quite a rare find. Melissa was really personable and was particularly patient with me when I was indecisive about my hairstyle! On my wedding day, Melissa's calming nature kept me at ease and my hair and make up were absolutely gorgeous. I have very thick hair which can be challenging and it stayed in the style that she created all day. I would highly recommend Melissa to any bride, she is fantastic!

I couldn't have been happier with Mel. She was so patient and really listened to what I wanted. I was blown away by the hair and makeup. I think it's really important to find the right person to do your hair and makeup because they will be spending a large part of you wedding day with you and Mel was just perfect, so reassuring and kind. She worked tirelessly on the day and didn't stop until everyone was totally happy. I also really appreciated the massive amounts of prep work before the day that goes into it. She really went the extra mile - from squeezing in an extra session to buying in products she thought would suit me. Worth every penny!

I don't know where to start describing how wonderful Melissa has been. From beginning to end, she did my hair / make-up with such passion and perfection. Melissa listened to my wishes and carefully acted upon them. I could trust her and felt really looked after and nourished. She also gave a ton of advice on how to prepare myself for my wedding day to look as good as possible. Besides being excellent at her job, Melissa is a lovely person and I can highly recommend her!

Melissa was absolutely brilliant!! She did exactly what I wanted and I was very happy with my makeup and my hair! She is a lovely person who makes you feel very comfortable and special on your day because of her calmness and professionalism! She really knows and loves what she is doing and you can see that! I 100% would recommend her to anyone, you will feel the most beautiful bride after her makeover!! Thank you again Melissa, much love to you!!

I can not recommend Melissa enough. Not only is she very talented she is also a genuinely lovely person. She really listened to make sure I had exactly what I liked. Melissa did both my hair and my make up and both were amazing. Her process was always very clear and she was very calming and organised on the day!

I simply cannot recommend Melissa enough! I was soooo apprehensive before the original trial, as I didn’t think anything could be done with my straggly, super fine hair! But I came away so excited for my (now husband!) to see what I looked like on our wedding day! On the day itself, Melissa could not have been more friendly and helpful as well as being ridiculously efficient and even providing rescue remedy gum when my nerves took over!! I loved both my hair and make-up – which stayed put all day, and looks fab in every photo! 5 stars all round :)

I was so pleased to have used Melissa for both my wedding hair and makeup, the hair and make -up of my bridesmaids, and my mother. Melissa took so much care in my trial, she paid every attention to detail to make sure my hair and make up was absolutely perfect. On the day she was such a calm influence, her and her team were punctual, professional and amazing to be around. I was so overjoyed with how I looked on the day, and how everything lasted. 5 of my friends have subsequently used Melissa for their wedding hair and makeup, we all loved her. Thank you Melissa! xx

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I recently married and Melissa did hair and make-up for myself and the bridal party- she provided a fantastic service from start to finish, catering to everybody's individual needs and making us all very happy on the day. Mel was full of advice and useful tips leading up to the wedding (beauty related and more), she had great ideas to help me perfect the look I was aiming for and most importantly she made me look and feel better than I thought possible on the day. Mel I cannot thank you enough nor can I recommend you highly enough!!!

Melissa Clare made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! I was a fairly picky bride and she responded to all of my feedback perfectly and did my hair and makeup exactly as I wanted! Not only did I get a ton of compliments on my look that day, but Melissa Clare was also a pleasure to work with, very professional throughout. She has a great, calming demeanor that helps to settle nerves on the big day. I highly recommend her to any bride!
