Must book!

Absolutely 5 stars. I had such a great experience at my trial that I also used Kristen for my bridal shower, and I knew I wanted her and her team with me on my wedding day. She really listened to me, talked through everything with me, and made adjustments where needed so I could look and feel my best. Over the course of the process, we even became friends, which made the experience feel that much more special. I could not have been happier with how everything turned out, and with the level of care they provided. I will definitely be using them again for future hair and makeup needs.

Just Book Them - No Other Option

Who you begin your wedding day with is incredibly important - Jenn and Sadé were some of the first people I saw on my wedding day and I couldn’t have asked for anything better.

Going back to the first contact, I asked my planner for recommendations for someone who would make me look like myself on my best day and he delivered.

Even though I was living in LA and getting married in VA, communication with Jenn was ever-flowing and super easy. I sent a bunch of reference photos before my first trial, she and Sadé totally understood what I was looking for and we had the best time.

I did a second trial the week of my wedding and it was the best decision, we got to dial in my look, work out certain details and talk specifics about the day.

Jenn and Sadé are the people you want getting you ready for your wedding. The energy and talent they + their team brings is unmatched.

I am forever grateful to Jenn, Sadé, Kristen, and Taylor for creating such an amazing environment and for creating some of the most beautiful hair and makeup looks I’ve seen.

Just book them, you won’t regret it. Do it. You will love the way you look.

Jen & Sade are amazing!!

I hired The Veil for my hair and makeup for my wedding. When I went to my bridal trial, I instantly felt like Jen & Sade were my lifelong friends! Not only did they make me feel absolutely stunning on my big day, but they also provided emotional support in moments that I started to feel anxious. They are more to me than the women who did my hair and makeup. They set out on a mission to make sure my day went as smoothly as possible and helped beyond getting me ready (make sure I received food and ate lol). I trust these girls with my life!!!

Best team!

Jenn and her team were absolutely amazing! They brought the best energy and set the perfect tone for the morning, calm, fun, and full of positive vibes. Everyone looked and felt beautiful, and their work lasted flawlessly all day. Jenn is truly one of a kind, incredibly talented, kind, and such a genuine soul. I’m so grateful to have had her there on such a special day!

Fantastic Hair and Makeup!

Jennifer did the hair and makeup for four of us at my daughter's wedding. She customized to our needs and made us all feel so beautiful. Whether it was applying makeup to enhance and look natural or makeup to diminish wrinkles and get rid of dark circles (for the mom), Jennifer did it all. With four different hairstyles to do, she nailed each one incorporating our every wish and did it in plenty of time. I can't give Jennifer enough praise and highly recommend her for your wedding!

Jenn and her team are amazing!

Jenn and her Team are 10/10! Jenn's energy is contagious and she was such a joy to work with. Her attitude is exactly what you want on a wedding day! Her and Sade were so efficient, made sure every one of my bridesmaids felt absolutely beautiful and were such a pleasure overall. My wedding day hair was different than what we originally did at my trial and Jenn CRUSHED it! I felt so beautiful the entire day, I truly couldn't have asked for anything more perfect.

True artists!

You need to hire Jenn + her team YESTERDAY! I booked with The Veil a year and a half out from our wedding, and after the beauty these ladies created for myself and my friends/family, it haunts me to think I could have potentially worked with anyone else!

Jenn made me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world during my trial, and I couldn’t wait to work with her again. Jenn, Sade, and Kristen showed up early and ready to go wedding day, and every gal’s hair and makeup were absolute perfection. They kept the atmosphere fun and upbeat, and I genuinely think every single woman who sat in their chairs felt like the most gorgeous version of herself, while also still looking like them! I know that was true for me - I have had hair/makeup done as part of many bridal parties, and there’s always *something* off - eyebrows, contouring, lips, hair volume - something! I can’t say the same for Jenn, Sade, and Kristen. The end result was true perfection. Jenn and Sade came with us from the hotel to the venue for touchups until ceremony time, which was beyond worth it for peace of mind in the June heat. Not much touching up was needed, but the value of having Jenn and Sade there was so worth it. I trusted Sade to help trim the face framing pieces for my hair, and didn’t hesitate to do so.

My hair and makeup stayed perfect all night long, and my friends/family are still talking about how these women are true artists. I wish I had a reason to get my hair/makeup done again, because working with these ladies was truly an honor and a joy. There are no better in the business!

Book them now. Stop looking.

WOW. I cannot say enough good things about Jenn and Sade. My mom and I met them at our mother/daughter hair and makeup trial and we laughed the entire time. They asked us a lot of questions and helped us figure out what we wanted. When I completely changed my mind on my hair the week before the wedding, they were SO helpful. Jenn overnighted hair extensions for me (I cut it close though lol) and I could not have been happier with how my hair turned out. Getting ready the morning of the wedding wouldn't have been the same without them. Not to mention the quality of everything - my makeup didn't budge and my hair looked incredible all night. I feel like the pics don't do the makeup justice - I felt flawless! Same with my wedding party! Jenn and Sade care about their clients so much and it shows :) If you're looking for the best hair and makeup team there is, you found it!

The absolute best in the biz

When planning my wedding I knew three things I wanted: to marry my husband, my color would be pink and I wanted Jenn to do my glam.

Jenn did my mom’s wedding hair and makeup back in 2016, and mine as a bridesmaid! After we booked our venue she was the first vendor I went to.

I have never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day all thanks to her and her team. We did my trial a few months before and decided on a low bun, but day of I switched to an updo and Jenn is truly a perfectionist and took her time and delivered even better than the inspo pics. My hair and makeup lasted all night dancing.

Her team for our wedding day: Kristen, Sade and Taylor are also so so talented and made all the bridesmaids and moms look absolutely stunning. They are all so professional, kind, funny and friendly and made getting ready so much fun!!!! Best in the business, if you’re getting married booking them is a no brainer, do it do it!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing!

You should be running to The Veil for your wedding hair and make-up!!! Kristen made me feel like an absolute princess and I cannot get over how absolutely beautiful I felt. Jenn was also incredibly responsive throughout the entire process. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I can't recommend them enough!

I got to work with Jennifer on a wedding at the Tredeger Iron Works and she was such a pleasure to work with! As a fellow artist, I was very appreciative she thought of me to ask to help out with hair services for the day. She is extremely professional, very talented, and super nice. I would recommend her as much as I can for your hair and makeup needs!

Scottibob Photography Scottibob Photography Wedding Photographers

As photographers, we were fortunate to work with Jennifer and her assistant last year. She is one of the best makeup artist that we have encountered so far. Her technique of the air-brush foundation that she used, gave a flawless finish to the bride, and made for a beautiful tone, with no "shiny" complexion, that lasted throughout the whole day. It was great to not have to "pull out the powder" by the end of the evening, as the photos taken at the end of the day, looked just as fresh as the "getting ready" pictures that began the day. We certainly hope to work with her again in the future.
