Highly recommend!

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to Olga who done the make up for my bridesmaids and mother of the groom on our wedding day. Olga was so lovely and was quick to respond to messages! Olga kept in contact throughout the planning process and was happy to adapt to changes along the way. We were very happy we chose Olga and that she was part of our morning. Very professional and highly recommend!

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!

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

Hair and Makeup by the loveliest team

Olga and her team did mine and my wedding parties makeup for my wedding back in June. Straight from the go they were great, from the initial email to their portal which was so handy!! We had a big group of bridesmaids, mothers/mother in law and a very short time to get ready due to the time allowed on sight and the time of the ceremony but Olga made it work with her team and everyone was done and ready in time looking beautiful.

The ladies were all so lovely, made all of us feel really comfortable and just added to the fun morning vibe. Plus everyone looked beautiful and there was not a hair out of place, even by the end of the night with all the dancing!

Thanks again Barnet and Boatrace!

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

The most perfect hair & make up

I am so pleased I chose Barnet and Boatrace to do the hair and make up for myself and bridesmaids - the girls were incredible. I felt totally confident in them and they were a pleasure to have around in the morning. I’ve never felt so special. The make up was just beautiful and stayed on all day and I’ve had so many compliments about my hair, it was stunning!

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.

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!

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!
