Claire S. Harris, Owner, Stylist, & Educator

Claire S. Harris, owner and Stylist at Eclectic Beauty Collective, developed Eclectic with the intention of creating a salon that was an inclusive community rooted in creativity, innovation, and style.  Blending skill and trend with positivity and vision, Claire assists each one of her clients in discovering and nurturing their own unique beauty.   

For Claire, it’s about incorporating a diverse range of individuals through deep and meaningful communication, and allowing her clients the space to discover and embrace their unparalleled aesthetic.   However, Claire’s drive to become a stylist started at a young age; she had the privilege to work with a world renowned, iconic celebrity for her many outings which allowed Claire to showcase her artistry; from extensive coloring techniques, to one-of-a-kind “cutting edge” hair designs and unforgettable styles - Barbie undeniably gave Claire her start, and was the first of many artistic mediums. 

Craving more knowledge to wield and express her craft, Claire pursued the profession of what came so naturally, and hasn’t stopped learning, educating, and growing in her field.  After graduating from The Orlo School of Hair Design in 2006, she immediately pursued an A.A.S. from Hudson Valley Community College in business.   To help nurture her ever-growing appetite for art, design, and creating, Claire has completed prestigious training from several accredited academies, along with working alongside celebrity stylists during NYC fashion week. Her Educator position takes her from coast to coast, and she has had her hair and makeup published in print and digital publications all over the world.  In recognition of her ability to work with all hair types and consistencies, she has been described as a master stylist and colorist, a curly hair expert, and a natural hair anthropologist.  And above all, Claire most enjoys her connection with people, while making them feel beautiful from the inside and out.
