Testimonials

Kia ora Claudine,

I would like to thank you so very much for all you did for my daughters and I on our special day, April 29th 2011, yes we got married the same day as the royals and what an awesome day it turned out. I was given your name through a friend of ours who you also made up, got in contact with you through email and within days you responded, after I asked you a thousand questions I booked you right away. We did a couple of trial runs, hair and make up, where you worked with my daughter and I to get the look I was wanting, you were so patient and understood what I wanted and what would suit. The one thing I loved was you were willing to come to us anywhere and anytime, you gave us your 100% attention as soon as you walked in to our hotel room, and even went that little bit further by helping my youngest daughter with her hair, you saved our day.

Our hair and make up, what can I say besides it was flawless, natural and absolutely beautiful, loved that the airbrush was light and not too over done, our hair just looked stunning and lasted the whole day and night. We have had so many positive comments about our look that I have recommeded you to all my friends and family, thank you so very much for giving us a beautiful start to our big day, will always cherish what you did.

love,
Mihi and Pete Doile

Hi Claudine,

A massive thank you to you for making me feel like the most beautiful bride in the world on my Wedding Day. My husband said I absolutely took his breath away! The look you came up with in the trial really inspired alot of the Wedding theme for us, and I am so happy with the way it all turned out.  

You did such a superb job on me, my bridesmaids and my Mum. We all had comments about how gorgeous we looked, and the flawless look you created really shone through in all the bridal photo's too. Thanks for making the day so stress free. You are super organised and had the timing of getting us all done in time down to perfection.  

I would certainly recommend you to anyone and they can rest assured they are in great hands.

Thanks again!

Thank you so much for the amazing job both you and Jay did for our wedding on 16th April. We had an amazing day and we all looked so fantastic thanks to you wonderful ladies!

You were both so relaxed to be with,and in turn made us feel so comfortable and stress free. So many people commented on how fabulous we looked and you made us feel a million dollars! Even though the weather was not on our side, we still looked as great at the end of the night as we did earlier on in the day. That makeup was amazing!

Thank you for bringing Jay along to help with the hair. She took one look at a photo and came out with amazing results. You really are a dream team!
I would suggest both you and Jay to anyone who was looking for hair and makeup artists and would not hesitate to use you again in the future. Thank you so much for the work you put in on our wedding day! You are amazing!

Again, thank you!

Claudine, thank you so much for doing my hair and makeup for my wedding.  you were so professional and easy going and it made for a fun morning.  I never wear makeup and I was a bit worried about wearing it on the day of the wedding but you did such a great job on it.  I loved it and i really did feel beautiful.  My hair looked amazing as well and both that and the make up stayed perfect all night.

You did an awesome job. I really appreciate it and will be recommending you to anyone I know who is getting married and needs someone to do their hair and makeup.

If you are looking for someone to do your hair and makeup for your wedding go with Claudine. She is a lovely person and her prices are very reasonable.

Thanks again,

Hi Claudine -

I just wanted to send you a quick email to say thank you so much for doing the hair and makeup for my wedding. You did an amazing job with everyone and made it so easy for me, being in another country, to organise it. I had a lot of compliments on how beautiful I looked on the day and everyone thought my hair was actually that length.

So thank you, Claudine!

Hi Claudine,

I want to thank you for doing my bridal party and Mum for my wedding. The make up and hair stayed in the whole day and we never had to reapply any makeup or have our hair touched up at all. Thank you for your great conversation, excellent work and great eye to detail. One of the things that we loved is the passion that you have for your work and how you put your all in to the creations that you created for the wedding day. Thanks again for all your help and for making myself, my mum and my two bridesmaids look amazing.

Kind Regards

I got married on the 9 Jan 2010 and Claudine did my hair and make up as well as my 4 bridemaids. Claudine came around to my parents house at 7am which made the preparations alot more fun, less stressful and meant I didn't have to leave the house until it was time to go to the church. I had a trial with Claudine before the wedding this made me at ease as it was one less thing to worry about. Claudine, thank you so much, I felt amazing on the day and all the photos are beautiful. The bridesmaids all looked stunning and I got many comments on the day and still am now about how beautiful we all looked. I have already been asked by soon to be brides who did my hair and make up and I have not hesitated recommending Claudine.

I live in Melbourne so I thought finding a good makeup and hair artist would be difficult, my first phone call was to Claudine and I booked her over the phone immediately.

When I met Claudine I soon found out that she is is an absolutely fantastic makeup and hair artist who is not only very professional but a fun friendly lady who really does want you to look your very best!!

Not only did she make my mum feel and look 10 years younger but she made all the bridesmaids look absolutely beautiful and made me feel perfect for my wedding day.

The hair was a new design that we made up on the morning of the wedding; it turned out fantastically and the makeup looked stunning in all the pictures. Everyone who has seen the pictures of the day has commented on both the hair and makeup and how lovely it looked.

I highly recommend Claudine for any occasion that you want to feel at your most beautiful. She is perfectionist and passionate about her work which makes her truly one of a kind.

Thanks for the awesome make up and hair on the day. I was very happy with your work and didn't worry at all in your capable hands. The make up lasted the whole day even with me shedding some tear during the reception!

I was very lucky to find Claudine on the NZ Wedding Planner website. I sent her an email enquiry on quotes etc. What a pleasant surprise that her charges are very affordable (especially since she comes to you). Claudine had the task of hair and makeup for my daughter and I on our special day. We went for a trial at Claudine’s place when we left I felt confident that I had made the right choice investing in Claudine’s services. We decided to stay in contact via phone or email (if I changed my mind about the hairstyle). On the day Claudine arrived with all the tools she needed to make both Ana and I look and feel beautiful. I was over the moon with how my hair looked and not to mention my makeup. Claudine definitely has "makeup artist" down to an art form. We both enjoyed our hair and makeup experience with Claudine that I will personally recommend Claudine’s services to every lady or man that needs a hair and makeup "guru" for that special day/night. I’m so impressed with her services that I’m seeing her again for a makeup lesson. Without a doubt I will be writing another review about that experience..........

As I said in my previous review that I was seeing Claudine for a make-up lesson. We discussed over coffee what sort of budget I had after she checked the makeup I already had. I forgot to mention that she picked up some extra brushes for me. She found a set of six plus a pencil sharpener in a leather case for $55 in Queensgate. It was an enjoyable day for me doing a bit of retail therapy. I felt like I was spending a day at the spa. Thank goodness Claudine was with me as I wouldn’t know where to start. After the shopping spree we came back to my place for my lesson. As I’m writing this review I’m trying to remember everything that I did at the lesson but, for people like me who are not make-up savvy Claudine writes down the order you apply your make-up and, a picture of where everything goes. I say again my day was fun and worth every penny spent. I will be recommending you to ladies looking for a hair and makeup professional. Claudine the service you provide is absolutely fantastic !!!

In April Claudine came to my home to do a Hair & Make-up trial. I was so impressed with how I looked I booked her straight away for my wedding in November. Just having the confidence of knowing what my hair & make-up would look like on the day gave me peace of mind.

On the 7th of November, My Wedding Day, Claudine arrived bright & early to do the Hair & Make-up for myself, my two Sisters (one of them being my Bridesmaid) & my Mother. All four of us were so pleased with Claudine’s work she is very professional & works perfectly to time. It was so nice to have her come to our home rather than us having to run around on the day. During & well after the Wedding my hair & make-up was still just gorgeous, I had many compliments on my special day.

Thank you Claudine for making me look so lovely on my Wedding day!

Claudine did hair and makeup for myself, my three bridesmaids and Mum. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. She provided a very professional service with affordable rates. She has a great eye for detail and I was thrilled with how we all turned out!!! Having the trial prior to the wedding was great too as I had no worries on the day.

Thanks heaps Claudine!
