    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!

    Barnet and Boatrace's reply:

    Aww thank you Beth! We loved seeing all your photos and how it all turned out. It all looked amazing!

    Should you, your family or friends need our services for any future events - please don't hesitate to get back in touch as we'd be delighted to help you again.

    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” 🥰

    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.

    Barnet and Boatrace's reply:

    Aww thanks Ellie! So pleased you had a great experience with our team. We’d love to see more pics as and when. 😊

    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!

    Barnet and Boatrace's reply:

    Aww thank you so much for your review, it really does mean so much to us.

    Love seeing all the pics too!

    Have an amazing honeymoon you two! 😊

    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!

    100000000000% recommend

    Barnet and Boatrace's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind review! It was a pleasure to be part of your wedding day and meet everyone.

    I still can’t quite get over the size of Cheryl’s family (and now yours too!) 👩‍👩‍👦‍👦👨‍👩‍👧👨‍👩‍👧‍👧

    Hair and makeup

    Olga and her team were amazing! Kind and professional throughout my experience with them. Always quick to reply to emails and put me at ease thoughtout my hair and makeup trial. Nothing was too much trouble and they easily accommodated my large bridal party! Everyone loved their hair and makeup! They were calm, quick and efficient on my wedding morning and I highly recommend them!

    Barnet and Boatrace's reply:

    Thanks Laura for taking the time to leave a review! We’re so glad you were all happy with everything. Thank you for a lovely morning.

    Amazing!!!

    Fantastic make up and hair! Managed to get all the bridesmaids, mother of the bride and bride’s hair and make up done in 2 hours. So friendly and professional, listening to my opinions whilst giving advice.

    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!

    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.

    Barnet and Boatrace's reply:

    Thank you so much Deborah for taking the time to leave a review and sending across a picture! Tandee and I hope you had an amazing time. 🤩

    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!

    Barnet and Boatrace's reply:

    Thank you Renee! You look so happy. It’s lovely to see your professional images too! We’re glad you were happy with everything. 😊
