About Brides by Valerie Clarke

Brides by Valerie Clarke

Owner and lead stylist

Hello, I’m Val. South jersey & Philly bridal hair specialist. With super calming vibes i bring a chill factor to every wedding morning. My style consists of soft and romantic with clean textures. Rest assured if we are working together you will feel like an elevated version of yourself with hair that will last through the night.

I take this job very seriously. I want to do the most perfect hair while also keeping your preferences in mind. What does that mean? If you like your part a little crooked im okay with that. If you don’t want tons of volume , i got it. I am always taking a class , learning a new technique . I’m great with my timelines. I will never rush and i never run late either.

It’s recommended to have closer to the wedding. Preferably in the same season and no changes are going to be made to the hair.

Sure, it’s understandable. You may be required to have another trial before the weddings depending on how far away the wedding is.

Amazing
Val is simply amazing at her styles. She takes the time to listen and can recreate any photo. You show her. Her styles last all through the night: I can’t recommend her enough.

Amazing Bridal Hair!
Brides by Valerie Clarke was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding day hair and makeup. From our very first consultation, Val listened intently to understand the exact look I was going for, and she was incredibly talented in bringing that vision to life. Val’s calming presence and reassuring demeanor helped me feel relaxed and confident on the morning of my wedding. The end result was an impressive, detailed updo that made me feel absolutely beautiful - exactly what I had envisioned. I cannot recommend her enough for her exceptional skills and wonderful service.

Hair Queen
Val was a dream to work with. She has clear communication and is very detail oriented with her up-dos. Val brought my dream hairstyle to life and it stayed perfectly in place all night through 95 degree heat. I cannot recommend her enough!

Amazing!
I had the BEST experience getting my prom hair done! I showed her a few inspiration pictures, and she somehow made it look even better on me than I imagined. My hair stayed perfect the whole entire night. Definitely book with Val!

An Absolute Pro
Val is a truly a professional stylist and there’s no look she can’t execute for bridesmaids, mothers, etc, (in my group we had a 90s updo, a sleek bob, undone waves, and more) but where she really shines is with texture! If you’re a bride and you want to embrace your waves, curls, and VOLUME on your wedding day, Val is going to make it happen. I got married on a humid day in June and my updo didn’t frizz and didn’t fall despite being in for probably 18 hours- and that was with outdoor photos and some heavy dancing. She’s extremely knowledgeable about how to invest in the right extensions for the big day and style your accessories, and the hair speaks for itself! A great experience.
