Barnet and Boatrace

I recently had the pleasure of working with Olga and her team of Wedding Makeup Artists and Hair Stylists at Laura and Simon's wedding. As a photographer, it's crucial that everyone is ready on time to capture those beautiful early moments, and Olga’s team always ensures this happens seamlessly. Their professionalism and skill not only made my job easier but also made everyone look stunning. Highly recommend!

Olga and her team were fantastic providing hair and make up services for me and my bridal party and family (7 in total) the morning of my wedding at The Kings Arms Christchurch. They were friendly and prompt, kept us all on time and calm throughout the morning, and the end result was stunning. They brought my vision exactly to life, creating the up-do of my dreams and beautiful make-up which stayed on flawlessly for the entire day. I just wish I could look and feel that beautiful every day!!

Thank you for providing the most wonderful hair and makeup for my daughter Pip’s wedding last Saturday on 22nd June, at The Kings Arms. Your team of 3 were delightful, calm and supportive that morning. We loved how gorgeous you made us look. My daughter and I had also had a trial run with you which was also a lot of fun and helped on the big day. I am very happy to recommend Olga and her team.

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.

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

We had the most wonderful wedding day. Everything seemed to come together and it all began with a very relaxed morning getting ready with my bridesmaids and hair and make up by Barnet and Boatrace. Olga and Kaz turned up and set the tone for a great morning. They used lovely products, Olga had a huge selection of that sat nicely and naturally on my face. She listened to what I wanted and I have to say, she made me look like the very best version of myself. The products she used lasted well into the early hours and I didn’t have to reapply anything except lip gloss. I looked flawless all day and night. Kaz had a tricky job with my hair. Despite having short hair, I really wanted an updo and with her expertise she made it possible. The hold was fantastic and everything stayed in place all day and night. It was a pleasure having you both there on the most important day of my life and together with my family, bridesmaids, videographer and photographer you made the beginning of the day really special. Fantastic service and great value for money. I highly recommend.

I could'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 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 after just having it done. Thank you so much!

I'd highly recommend Olga and the team at Barnet & Boatrace. They 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.

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!

Cannot recommend Olga enough, I booked a last minute wedding and didn't really have time to look into many options but B&B had a lovely website and were immediately responsive so I went with them! Well, I was lucky I did! Olga weny though all my requests over a call beforehand even though I didn't book a trial, she completely took on board everything I asked for and got loads of details. Loved the pre-wedding skin care recommendations and the responsiveness. And that's before the results! Absolutely perfect, gorgeous dewy finish, everything I wanted for me and my bridesmaids and it lasted ALL DAY - even in the rain! Could not have been happier with the result. And Olga herself was chilled, kind and flexible - she came in to my house and I felt completely at ease with her skill and consideration. So happy I chose you, thank you so much.
