Do you have a flair for putting a smile on peoples faces by creating gorgeous hair and makeup looks?

Why not join our dynamic award winning team and let your creativity shine!

We are an established Hair and Makeup Agency located in Ashley Cross, Poole with a growing friendly team of Hair Stylists and Makeup Artists who travel to luxury locations throughout Dorset, Hampshire, Somerset and Wiltshire.

We are searching for reliable Freelance Makeup Artists and Hair Stylists who can bring out the natural beauty of brides and their wedding parties on their special day.  

If you have a keen eye for detail, confidence with different skin tones, hair types and textures and have a profound understanding of wedding hair and makeup trends then we want to hear from you!

Your Role with Barnet + Boatrace

You'll be working under the direction of Olga, Founder and Lead Makeup Artist  and be responsible for making our clients look and feel their best in preparation for their wedding day, prom or other special occasions. 

The majority of our clients prefer a natural makeup look so if your "go to" style is heavily contoured makeup with over lined lips and scouse brows unfortunately you may not be the ideal fit for our team. 

We're known for our calm natured and laid back approach (we listen more - and talk less!) so clients feel relaxed knowing that we're not going to be centre of attention on their wedding morning and will focussing our energy on beautifying them instead!

You'll be passionate about Wedding Hair and Makeup always maintaining a high standard of work as well as being keen to represent the brand and support our well established reputation in Dorset and Hampshire.
