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!

Excellent hair and make-up artists who you can count on!

Behind the Veil was such a great vendor to work with for my wedding. From scheduling my bridal hair & makeup trial to every last curl on wedding day, working with the team was seamless and easy. I had a large bridal party and the team was able to get everyone ready to go on time and with a beautiful result. I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day, and I have Behind the Veil to thank for that. They are professional, talented, and worth every penny. I highly recommend this vendor!

wedding hair and makeup

I had a very unique experience with BTV because I was planning from overseas! Angela was very helpful and worked with me to ensure payments could go through. I had to wait until about 2 1/2 weeks before the wedding to have my hair and makeup trial (cutting it close but had no choice!). I left my hair and make up trial not feeling confident with my hair; luckily Angela contacted me the next day for feed back and we organized another trial to make sure I felt good about my hair! I so appreciated both Angela and Dede coming in on a weekend to squeeze in another trial. All together I had 2x hair and 2x makeup artists to provide service on the wedding day and everyone looked AMAZING!!!!

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!
