beautiful bridal hair experience

Claudia and her team at Behind the Bride made me and my entire bridal party look and feel absolutely beautiful.

From my bridal trial to my wedding day, Claudia executed my vision flawlessly—even when I decided to change my hairstyle on the day of the wedding! She made the entire process feel effortless, kept me calm and confident, and even helped me find the perfect veil placement, which completed my bridal look.

I have truly never felt or looked more beautiful. My hair held up all day and night, and I yreceived so many compliments. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I would recommend Claudia to any bride looking for someone incredibly talented, professional, and accommodating. Thank you for helping make my wedding day so special!

Perfect!!!

Claudia and her team were great! She was so responsive and flexible about any changes we wanted to make. My hair came out perfect and she even suggested a hairstyle for one of my bridesmaids who wasn’t sure what she wanted. The style was perfect for her and looked great with the other girls!

The BEST hair and makeup team!

Claudia and her team are phenomenal! They went above and beyond to make everyone feel comfortable and confident. They actually listen to you and their talent is unmatched. Claudia did my hair and makeup for my wedding and made me feel so confident throughout the day. They are dependable, caring, talented and I HIGHLY recommend them for any wedding or special occasion. My sister, mom and mother in law all got their hair and makeup done and were so impressed. The hair and makeup lasted through all dancing, tears and hugs. I cannot recommend Claudia enough! If you need hair and makeup for your wedding, choose Claudia - you will be so happy that you did!!!

Literally the best

Claudia did the best job ever on my hair but she also was quite literally the most helpful person and calming person that entire morning. She helped redo the schedule to work with makeup last minute with no hiccups. She is the absolute best and made me feel so beautiful! 100/10 would recommend!!!!

Highly recommend!

Claudia did an amazing job on my bridal hair and makeup. I first booked a trail where she was extremely knowledgeable and attentive to the looks I was going for which gave me the confidence to book her for my wedding. Day of the wedding she also had a team working on my Bridal Party who are also as extremely talented and knowledgeable in hair and makeup. Claudia is super talented and helped me feel beautiful and confident on my wedding day, and she is also super friendly and accommodating to her clients. I would highly recommend her services for your big day!
