Amazing for Hair and Make up!

Behind the Veil was incredible to work with from start to finish! They are easy to communicate with and are very responsive. The artists are incredibly talented and my bridal hair and make-up was better than I ever imagined! My hair and make-up lasted all night, but was so natural-looking and beautiful, which is exactly what I was searching for. Thank you to Avese and Laurie for my bridal hair and make-up! Even a bridesmaid that usually doesn’t get makeup done, decided to do it last minute because it looked SO good. Not only are they super talented, they are also so kind and fun to work with. It was great to hang out with them the morning of my wedding. I highly recommend anyone looking for HMU for their big day to consider Behind the Veil!

I used Behind the Veil for my bridal hair and make up as well as for my bridal party (11 - 7 BM, 2 JBM, 2 FG). Our wedding was in August 2017 at the USNA with a reception at the Governor Calvert House. The hair and make up was amazing. I was so impressed with all of the stylists! Would highly recommend for weddings/special occasions to anyone in the great Annapolis/DC Metro area.

Hair & Makeup

I recently went to Behind the Veil for my first trial with makeup, and the initial experience didn't match my inspiration picture. However, the staff quickly addressed my concerns and graciously switched me over to another makeup artist, Joan. I couldn't be happier with the results! She did an amazing job and truly brought my vision to life. Additionally, Lauren, the hair stylist, created a stunning hairstyle that perfectly complemented my makeup. Their teamwork and expertise made me feel truly confident and beautiful. I highly recommend Behind the Veil for their exceptional service and talented staff!

Behind The Veil is the absolutely first vendor I bring up during my client meetings. I always point them out no matter what. I do this because I know they work similarly to me with a detailed timeline which makes it so they are never late. This in return keeps me on time so that I can capture the images I need before the ceremony. The number one thing that makes a bride late is when hair and make-up runs behind. This never happens with Behind The Veil. On top of that, their make-up and hair makes my images amazing. Each bride looks stunning, but also natural and the make-up lasts all day. Even on the hot or rainy days. Behind The Veil is my number one recommended vendor!
