    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

    Olga and Katie did a fabulous job

    Olga and Katie did hair and makeup for me plus 3 bridesmaids last week. The booking process was super easy and straightforward, and the ladies were really flexible as well (accommodating my pre-wedding swim without any fuss!). They did a fab job on all our hair and makeup - had so many compliments. Would highly recommend!

    Thank you!

    Fantastic in every way!

    Emily was very professional and very kind when doing my event makeup. She arrived early to set up, had already checked the photos I sent so knew exactly what I wanted and took great care to ensure my makeup was perfect. Not only was I very impressed with how it looked, it didn’t budge the whole night! She also made me a little pouch with extra lipstick, eyebrow gel and a puff to touch up my makeup if I needed it. So thoughtful and so helpful! I have recommended to friends and family and I hope I have an event again soon so that I can book Emily!
    Thank you!

    Wedding hair and make up

    Barnet and Boatrace were so lovely, relaxed and had the best advice. Their communication from beginning to end was thorough, helpful and professional. I was extremely pleased with my hair and make up and it lasted all day. I would not hesitate to recommend them and will definitely be using them again for future events.

    Barnet and Boatrace's reply:

    It was a lovely relaxed morning just the 3 of us - a bit of tranquility for you before a fun long day ahead.

    We’d love to see some more images, especially towards the end of the evening where you’re throwing some shapes on the dance floor! 💃.

    Thanks Jemma!

    Excellent- 100% reccomend!

    Olga and the whole team at Barnet & Boatrace were exceptional for both hair and makeup for my wedding. Really great customer service and communication throughout, from the very first stage of my enquiry. They were incredibly flexible for everything I needed including changes in the number of bridesmaid/guests requested for hair, and even location when we had our accommodation cancelled with 1 month to go! I'm not someone who usually has hair & makeup done but they were very helpful and guided me with recommendations ensuring I was happy and comfortable with their work. On the day itself, they were all on time and everything went smoothly and the photos afterwards lok amazing thanks to their expertise. Would definitely reccomend!

    Barnet and Boatrace's reply:

    Thanks Meg! We loved seeing how your day developed and all came together. The pink bermudas were a rather cool ‘first’ for us!

    Amazing make up! Would definitely book again

    Absolutely loved the hair and make up Olga did for me for a wedding I attended and will definitely be booking again in the future. So friendly and made me feel really comfortable, and I loved the end results. 10/10

    Barnet and Boatrace's reply:

    Thank you so much for your review.

    More than happy to do your hair and makeup again at any time you’re in Dorset next!

    Charley ( Caz did hair )

    Olga was amazing with communication and ensured everything was perfect on the build up too our special wedding. Caz arrived perfect timing on the day, with a very early start as we were getting married early! Myself, my mum and my maid of honour were so so pleased with our hair. Really couldn’t fault a thing. Caz had finished all of our hair and final touches but she was so willing and stayed to help with anything we needed including helping me into my dress and making sure we were all sorted. Olga and Caz are such lovely people and I feel so lucky to have that included into our perfect wedding day. I would highly highly recommend!!xxxx

    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 :)

    Barnet and Boatrace's reply:

    Thank you so much for your lovely kind words Teri!

    It was lovely to meet you and so heart warming seeing your reaction when you looked in the mirror! “Stunning” 🥰
