Reviews for Barnet and Boatrace
Absolutely Amazing, I cannot express my heartfelt thanks enough to Olga/Emily & Tandee, for our hair and makeup, for the event of my sons wedding on the 7th June 2025. They were amazing, they provided a seamless and professional service, took into account what we would like and also advised us how to achieve. We had so many compliments on our hair and makeup , just gutted that we couldn’t keep them both and take them home with us. Thank you Lisa Nisbett

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

Meet the team
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.
My hair career first started in1995 when I started a local apprenticeship at Joanne's Creative Hair Design.
I have had various roles within local hair salons in Bournemouth, Ringwood and Westbourne expanding my knowledge by attending workshops at TONI&GUY and Wella in London. After having my daughter in 2008 I focussed my skills on my main passion which is wedding hair.
