Fantastic company to deal with!
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!

Perfect choice
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.

Perfect hair and makeup
I got married a couple of weeks ago, on a day when the weather threw absolutely everything at us - sun, torrential rain, howling gales. Despite this, my make-up and hair remained perfect throughout the day, as did that of my three bridesmaids. Olga was amazing to deal with in the lead up to the wedding and has a very efficient booking and invoicing system which took a lot of the stress out of keeping on top of the admin. Katie and Becky who looked after us on the day (and did my trial) were amazing. They put all of us at our ease, and worked so skillfully to get us ready in time. I really could not have asked for more!

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

Professional, reliable, experienced - and 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!

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

The one where we thought we'd got the date wrong as the wedding party had partied so hard the night before! When we arrived we just saw a sea of empty champagne flutes and bottles in the garden and had a very hungover bride to deal with!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Natural, elegant, modern yet timeless.

What about your business are you most proud of?

When a bride really appreciates our work and takes the time to thank us after the event by writing us an email or leaving us a review.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Pinterest for collating ideas

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Gucci watches, favourite flowers delivered to the bride and romantic messages from the groom that make the bride cry!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

We tend to deal with the bride (although we have recently added a grooms grooming package too) so upon receiving your enquiry and giving you a quote we encourage you to use Pinterest to gather ideas for the look you'd like us to create. Then we arrange a trial run for 3 months before the wedding.

What do you love most about your job?

Making people smile! That look when they see themselves in the mirror once their hair and makeup has been completed by us!

What is your No. 1 beauty tip for a bride?

Drink lots of water and moisturise every single day!

How do you keep the bride feeling calm on her wedding day?

By allowing plenty of time. We always factor in time for faffing (we know us women like to faff!) and for any skin problems such as dryness or acne that need to remedied.

What advice would you give to brides to stay looking great throughout their wedding day?

A 3 step cleansing, toning and moisturising routine at least 3 months before the wedding. Drinking plenty of water too so skin stays hydrated. Then on the day, tissues! Not only to mop up any tears but to blot any excess oil if it's a hot day!
