Friendly, responsive, professional and able to work with big groups

We booked Barnet & Boatrace as they were recommended to us and they did not disappoint.
Olga and the team were always quick to respond, and their online invoicing system was easy to use.
On the day we had two brides, 8 bridesmaids and two mother of the brides, so despite a 1pm ceremony time we were worried about being up at the crack of dawn but olga bought a team of 5 who started at 8 and had most of us done by 12!
They did touch-ups for everyone and were very accommodating of re-dos of one of the brides.
N.B. One of our bridesmaids is a self declared “curly gurl” and they smashed it!

Amazing Service, thank you!

I am so grateful to Olga and her team, when my previously booked suppliers cancelled last minute Olga couldn't do enough to help me. Within 24 hours she'd managed to find a hair stylist & makeup artist to do my wedding. Jo & Leanne were amazing, they arrived on time and did an amazing job. All of the bridal party looked stunning. They made what could have been a stressful build up on my wedding morning a really fun and chilled affair. Thank you so much!

Professional, reliable and experienced - and very friendly!

Olga and Tandee didn’t bat an eyelid when I asked for their help for our last minute wedding. Tandee even cut my hair on the day and Olga made any skin imperfections and bags under my eyes disappear. Together they created a gorgeous look. Highly recommended!

Fantastic company!

I couldn't have been happier with my hair for the wedding, thanks to my amazing hairdresser, Leanne, via Barnet & Boatrace! She was incredibly lovely and professional, making the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. I absolutely loved my hair and received so many compliments throughout the day.

A big shout-out to Olga at Barnet & Boatrace. She was efficient, easy to communicate with, and made booking everything a breeze. Thank you all for contributing to making my day perfect!

Exceptional!

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for my wedding day hair and makeup. Olga and Tandee are phenomenal and even without a trial it turned out exactly how I had imagined, better than in fact! It was a boiling hot day, but my makeup and hair didn’t budge and I felt just as beautiful at the end of the night as I did just after having it done. Thank you so much :)

Couldn’t recommend them enough

I’d highly recommend Olga and the team at Barnet & Boatrace. Despite just being a part of one (me) they still made me feel valued. Lead up was super organised, we had a video call in lieu of a trial to discuss what I wanted and they were great checking that their products would be suitable for my sensitive skin. Jaimee and Millie completely understood what I was after and made me feel the absolute best version of myself. Both makeup and hair even survived rain, wind, tears and hours of dancing. Couldn’t recommend them enough.

Wedding service joy

Massive thank you to Olga and Tandee!

Against all odds our hair and make up lasted until the end of the party! And I say against all odds because I danced until the DJ turned the music off and you can imagine how much we sweat hahahaha

The hair and make up were intact until the end! Also, and more importantly, it looked beautiful!

You (Olga&Tandee) were amazing, calm, accommodating, professional, fun... we cannot thank you enough!

What a wonderful time it was and how amazing you made us look! And the ladies in our families as well!

Wedding Guest Hair & Makeup

Attended a family wedding in Bournemouth and needed hair & makeup services but had no clue where to start. Thankfully came across glowing reviews for Barnet and Boatrace and can see why. Olga was super responsive from the beginning and on the day herself and Tandee made myself and my mother in law feel ultra glam. We were so happy with our looks and would highly recommend and use them again.

Seamless and enjoyable

Olga and Tandee we extremely helpful prior to my big day. On the day they arrived on time and ready to go. They kept track of time which was needed! They listened to what we all wanted and the results were perfect. They were both lovely to be around during the morning of my wedding also. My Mum doesn't wear any make up so was a little hesitant but was so pleased with her make up for the day that she is ordering some of the products! Thank you both so much.

Brilliant for hair and make-up, thoroughly recommend

Having been a bridesmaid who has their make-up and hair with Barnet and Boatrace I booked them for my wedding as soon as I had a date. Having now had my hair done by two different ladies from here and make-up by two different ladies, I can definitely recommend this company. Olga is quick to respond to emails when booking and sorting out the details.

Mollie did my hair and Nipona did my make-up for my wedding. They were both very patient, friendly, extremely professional with both striving for perfection. They both went above and beyond and made sure everyone was happy with their make-up / hair respectively. Cannot recommend enough!

Makeup Artist

I started my professional makeup journey in 2004 after joining Richard Bransons' skincare and cosmetics company Virgin Vie. I had a passion for all things makeup and before social media took off this was a great way for me to learn the basics of skincare and cosmetics.

I quickly grew my customer base and commonly got asked if I did bridal makeup so saw a niche in the market and trained with the company to do bridal makeup and haven't looked back since.
