We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
When I moved to San Diego in 1997, I had to let go of my previous career in Chicago doing makeup for TV, theatre, and film. Once relocated, I had to adapt to a new market where the largest opportunities were in the wedding industry. The last 20 years working as a wedding professional in San Diego have been the richest and the most rewarding years of my entire career.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the clairestyle story. Tell us more about the business.
In addition to being a highly skilled and experienced makeup artist and bridal hairstylist, Claire is also a Registered Yoga Instructor who leads classes every week at various locations throughout San Diego County. Wedding clients have often mentioned that Claire brings a calm and peaceful presence to their wedding day beauty sessions; as well as providing beautiful, soothing music to accompany the day’s festivities. Claire brings many years of experience to all wedding clients and has a highly skilled and experienced team of wedding professionals that can be included for larger bridal parties. No bridal party is too big! Claire and her team of wedding professionals can accommodate any size bridal party. If you’re looking for a highly trained and extremely experienced wedding hair and makeup artist consider booking Claire and her team of hair and makeup experts for your wedding.
Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business?
I consider myself to be lucky and very blessed in that I had the great good fortune of meeting wonderful people along the way who supported my endeavors and encouraged me to believe in myself and never give up.
