Claudia Saurine doesn’t just have a conceptual approach to beauty, confidence and style. For 25 years, her hands-on approach has transformed brands and A-listers alike.

From the QT Hotel to James Blunt, Claudia’s keen eye for glamour keeps her in high demand. Her passion for beauty and fashion is infectious, so it’s no small wonder the teams she brings together are both happy and high-performing.

Claudia has always been destined for a career in creative direction. Born in Colombia, Claudia studied hair and makeup after high school. She honed her beauty skills in the fierce, fast-paced world of competitive pageants whilst also working in TV production in a soap starring Shakira.

With bigger dreams for her career, Claudia travelled to Australia in 1997. She worked in fashion, transforming the confidence and image of men and women across Sydney.

In 2012, Claudia was invited to join one of Australia’s finest boutique hotels, the QT Sydney. With Claudia’s creative direction and styling, the QT has pioneered professionally styled hotel staff for an imitable art hotel experience. This seamless brand image and style boosts the QT’s reputation across Australia and internationally. Alongside playing an integral part to the success of this strategy, Claudia’s personal hair and makeup clients have included James Blunt, Gina Rinehart, Michael Gudinski and Bibi McGill.

Claudia takes pride in the collaborative culture she’s created at the QT. She loves the work and can’t help but share this with others, always swapping branding, beauty and styling tips. It’s this passion that keeps her constantly inspired and excited about what’s to come.
