Chelsea Sent on 07/30/2017I 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. -

Meredith W. Sent on 07/16/2023Great H/M Team - Timely service and Responsive
Behind the Veil was an awesome on site hair and makeup team. I had reached out to them a year and a half in advance of my wedding date, and their team was incredibly responsive with pricing/availability/etc. Since I was planning a wedding in Annapolis from out of state, having a responsive office was really important to me. With a large bridal party of 9 bridesmaids, 2 moms and a bride, I requested 2 hair and 2 makeup a few weeks before the wedding, and they quickly accommodated and had additional team members attend. On the day of the wedding, all 4 artists were timely and got my whole group completed an hour ahead of schedule, and everyone looked beautiful. Brittany and Leanne for makeup, Michele and Avese for hair — all great! It was also really convenient that they could come onsite to our hotel to get everyone ready. I was not able to do a trial run being out of state, but I was able to share a Pinterest board to my stylists ahead of time to give them insights into what I was thinking as well. -

Wonderful and attentive makeup artists!
Jenn and her team at BTV were amazing for my bridal party's makeup! They worked so efficiently and my bridesmaids were all so impressed and happy with their looks. I loved working with Jenn and she was extremely attentive to exactly what I wanted for my bridal makeup, down to the exact shade and contour. During the trial she was so thorough, then during the day of I was pretty stressed about the weather, and she did a fabulous job despite me being very distracted. I had several guests come up to me commenting on how good my makeup looked. I am extremely grateful and would highly recommend Behind the Veil for your wedding! -

Behind the Veil was a dream to work with! Laurie was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. We had a very early start time and the team was on time and professional. I had a lot of anxiety going into the hair/makeup process for my wedding day, since I have cried previously at other weddings as a bridesmaid because I did not feel like me. Jenn and Nicole were very comfortable to be with and thoughtfully worked with my concerns. I received many compliments on my wedding day that I looked like myself! I feel confident BTV will work with you on any look you want to present for your day. -

Behind the Veil provided outstanding and fabulous makeup artistry for my wedding!
My "bride squad" looked amazing and gorgeous! Laurie was an absolute pleasure to work with, her responsiveness, professionalism, and talent were top-notch! She took the worrying out of makeup for my big day. So, I am 62 years old, and Laurie had me looking gorgeous and many years younger than I am. She worked true magic, I am so grateful!! She also did a fabulous job on makeup for my daughters (age 29 and 33), and my cousin and best friend. Do not hesitate to hire Behind the Veil for your wedding makeup! -

I hired Behind the Veil to do the hair and makeup for my wedding day in 12/2022. Maria and Nicole were great. Nicole did my makeup and after showing her just a few pictures and discussing a few things, she was able to take this make up novice and give me a beautiful natural look. I seriously had no critique she did an amazing job! And Maria took it in stride when I asked her to add a braid to my hair style the day of the wedding and gave me curls that lasted all day! It was a great experience and I am so happy with picking BTV for my big day! -

I hired BTV to be the beauty team for our recent November wedding and would happily do it all over again!
From the initial contact to learn more about their services and pricing through the wedding day, Laurie and the team at BTV Beauty made the experience smooth and stress free.
Our makeup artist was Christie and our hair artist was Stephanie and they are a dream team! I walked away from my hair and makeup trial (where I simply said “I had no idea I could look this good!”) completely over the moon with my classic Hollywood glam look and they delivered again on our wedding day for our bridal party. Christie and Stephanie worked well together and were simply just great to be around - they have such good energy!
I am not someone who regularly wears makeup and knew that I wanted to still look like myself on our wedding day, just an elevated version of myself. Christie absolutely nailed my makeup!
I can not recommend BTV Beauty enough - they made me feel gorgeous on our wedding day! -

My bridesmaids and I had a good experience working with Behind the Veil. Maria did our hair and Christy our makeup. They were so organized, quick, and prepared the day of the wedding and helpful working with each of our complexions and looks. They offered touchups before the big ceremony -- our hair and makeup lasted all day which was a huge relief. Very happy with my experience and would recommend! -

Timothy J. Sent on 07/12/2022Amazing Experience with Behind the Veil!
After my original plans for hair and make-up fell through just a few months before our wedding date, I was concerned that I wouldn’t be able to find hair and make-up services that offered exactly what I wanted for myself and my bridal party at an affordable price. However, I consider myself lucky that Behind the Veil happened to have my wedding date available because they provided everything we wanted and more. Both Maria, our hairstylist, and Jenn, our make-up artist, were incredibly talented and a pleasure to work with. They were efficient and also very flexible regarding the order of services and last-minute changes and requests. This put everyone at ease and really helped to make the entire day much more relaxing.
I am someone that does not often do much with my hair and I rarely wear make-up, so I was unsure about specific things that I wanted, but Maria and Jenn were both able to expertly determine the perfect look for me based on my comfort level and the specific characteristics of my hair/skin. After the wonderful experience that I had with them, I would highly recommend Behind the Veil (specifically, Maria and Jenn!) for anyone looking for hair and make-up services for their wedding! -

Alexandra P. Sent on 06/15/2022Beautiful work. Easy, accommodating, quick!
Behind the Veil was amazing to work with. Last minute we decided to hire another makeup artist (Kristen!) for our large group (7 bridesmaids, 1 bride, 2 moms), and BTV stepped right in! They were so easy to work with. Kristen did an AMAZING job. The makeup of the girls looked stunning, and lasted the entire wedding event (through many, many happy tears!). Thank you Kristen and BTV!!! -

Impeccable Service
I was SO lucky to find Behind the Veil for my hair/makeup. I had another vendor booked for several months when they canceled stating they had double booked. Laurie was able to help me quickly lock in a team for both hair/makeup. She was patient and quick to respond to all of my questions. The price was very fair compared to others I had researched in the area.
Thea was my hair stylist and Joan was my makeup artist. They were both AMAZING. My hair and makeup were both exactly what I wanted and they both lasted the entire night day/night without needing touchups.
They both brought along assistants to help with the bridal party and family members. Everyone looked absolutely gorgeous! My sister in law was so happy with how she looked that she booked Joan to do her makeup for an important work function a few weeks later.
Thank you to the Behind the Veil team for helping to make my wedding day perfect!! -

I couldn't have asked for a better hair and makeup team, they were able to get my large group of women hair and makeup done even before they initially thought they would!! They also did an amazing job! Everyone loved their hair and makeup!!! I literally was too stunned to speak when I saw myself as I never wear makeup or do my hair and I felt like a princess. They were amazing and I would definitely recommend! -

Behind the Veil did the hair and makeup for me, my 5 bridesmaids, my mom, mother-in-law, and grandmother. They came to our hotel in Stevensville, MD which made the day run so smoothly. They made sure we all looked absolutely STUNNING. Everyone’s hair and makeup looked perfect and stayed perfect all night long. They communicated with me a few months before to schedule my trial, and then again a few weeks before the wedding to finalize the headcount and timeline. On the day of, the stylists texted me to stay in contact about their arrival. They were both so sweet and personable. -

You will not regret hiring Behind the Veil as your wedding beauty team! Laurie, Maria, and Brittany were so easy to work with and made the morning of my wedding super fun and stress-free. My bridesmaids couldn't stop raving about them - everyone was so happy with their hair and makeup! I felt beautiful and my hair/makeup lasted the whole day. Highly recommend! -

Christina Sent on 03/11/2013Thank you Stephanie, Joan, & Laurie!
I had used BTV for beauty services in the last, and I’m so glad I decided to again! Stephanie (hair) and Joan (makeup) made my mom and I feel so beautiful! These ladies were so fun to work with and made getting ready relaxing and enjoyable! Also, Laurie was super responsive and on top of things, which I appreciated since we al have a million things going on. Thank you so much BTV!! -
