Skills backed by Education + Adaptability

If you're not a Londoner you might not be familiar with the company name Barnet + Boatrace!   So you're not left in the dark, "Barnet" is cockney rhyming slang for Barnet Fair ie Hair...  and "Boat Race" is cockney rhyming slang for Face! 

Our stand out stylists and makeup artists work across eras, cultures, textures and trends offering expert recommendations and honest advice.  We're used to adapting to tricky environments, time pressures as well as the weather!

​We have a diverse mix of ages, genders and personalities and career stages which is all reflected in our Price Guide.

We all share the same work ethos and passion in making our clients feel relaxed and more beautiful.  Olga always strives to pair the right makeup artists with hair stylists to create a strong wedding beauty and styling team.

We try and meet at least once a week for either a beach walk, a coffee and catch up where we get to share our knowledge and get to know each other on a more personal level which helps us bond on wedding jobs too.
