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.

Absolutely Stunning with Cindy!

I can’t thank Cindy enough for the incredible job she did on my makeup for my wedding! I felt absolutely gorgeous, and the look was exactly what I envisioned. She truly has a talent for enhancing natural beauty while making you feel special.

Cindy also worked her magic on my mother and my best friend, and they both looked stunning as well! We all received so many compliments throughout the day. The makeup lasted through emotional toasts and romantic moments to sweating on the dance floor!

Her professionalism, attention to detail, and friendly demeanor made the experience even more enjoyable. She traveled to the venue and took away all the stress on the big day! If you’re looking for a makeup artist who can make you feel radiant on your special day, I wholeheartedly recommend Cindy!

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!
