    Hire them before they're booked!

    My bridal party and I loved Jenn! She brought such a positive attitude, our hair looked great & it stayed the entire night. Everyone was happy and we received a ton of compliments. She was so easy to work with I cannot recommend her enough.

    What an amazing experience

    I can't say enough about how pleased I am with The Veil Company, Jennifer and Sade went out of their way to make my daughter's day beautiful and filled with fun and laughter. The bridal party looked amazing, and they made this MOB look 20 years younger! The recommendations that were provided for each member of the bridal party were perfect and you can tell that they love what they do. If you are on the fence about needing professional hair and makeup I hope this review helps to make your decision - do it! I am so glad that we did!

    Way MORE Than an Amazing Hair and Makeup Team

    I cannot even begin to express how incredible, talented, professional, kind, genuine, humble, and sweet Jenn and her team are!! Jenn was one of the very first wedding vendors I booked, and I knew immediately after talking with her and seeing her work, I wanted her to be a part of our special day. Jenn is truly such an amazing hype woman and the best person to have in your corner to make you feel beautifully confident throughout the entire wedding process. I had Jenn do my hair and makeup for both my engagement photos and wedding day and it was the best decision I ever made. She was extremely responsive and flexible throughout the entire process and always had my best interest in heart. For our wedding day, her upbeat, bubbly personality helped make the day so much more fun and a party. Jenn and her team were true heroes when it came to creating amazing hair and makeup looks for myself, my bridesmaids, mom, and mother-in-law despite our wedding be in the middle of a Tropical Storm! Given our bridal party size and needing to get ready off-site from our venue, Jenn even came to the venue with us to help with touch-ups and ensure everything was perfect for our first look photos and ceremony! Everyone from my bridesmaids to family to guests only had high praises for Jenn and her team and their work. I truly will be forever thankful for Jenn and her team, and she is someone who I am so thankful and happy to call a forever friend.

    Beautiful wedding hair and makeup!

    Jenn was incredible to work with from day one. She was always prompt in responding, flexible in scheduling my hair/makeup trial, and everything went perfectly on our wedding day. Jenn and her team did a beautiful job for myself, 8 bridesmaids, and both moms, and were so fun to have around while we were getting ready. My hair and makeup stayed all night long. Would definitely recommend!

    The best team of all time!!!!

    Jenn and her team were absolute wedding-day heroes! They worked their magic on 13 of us, including myself, and I can't praise them enough. I have never felt more beautiful than I did that day! 

    Their talent left all of us looking and feeling incredible - our hair and makeup stayed flawless throughout the entire day and night. What's more, they managed to create this perfection without ever making us feel rushed. It was such a relaxed, enjoyable experience.

    But what truly sets Jenn and her team apart is their infectious positivity. They turned our bridal suite into a party, and the good vibes were contagious. I couldn't have asked for a better team to share those precious moments with on my wedding day.

    Jenn, you and your team are pure magic, and I can't thank you enough for making our day even more special. If you want exceptional results, a stress-free experience, and a whole lot of fun on your big day, don't hesitate to choose them!

    Bridal Beauty Perfection - Our Wedding Day Glam Squad

    If you're searching for a wedding makeup and hair stylist who will make you look and feel like a million bucks, seriously look no further! We found the extraordinary talents of The Veil Hair & Makeup Co and we couldn’t have been happier.

    At first, I was nervous looking for someone who could have the versatility and experience with working with curly hair since I wanted to show off my curls on my wedding day and for them to still be styled. When my Mom and I met with Jenn for our trial, my nerves were gone in an instant as we were welcomed into her studio with open arms. She is sweet, bubbly, and possesses the innate ability to understand a bride’s vision and makes it a reality. I think so highly of her and her skills, plus she did so amazing with my curls. Even at the end of our trial, she reached out to some of her curly haired connections to give me great advice of how to keep my curls strong and healthy leading up to the big day.

    On the morning of our wedding, Jenn and some of her other team members, Sade and Kristen, were an oasis of calm, positivity, and a pure joy to be around. They transformed us into our best selves, enhancing our natural beauty while keeping our unique styles in mind. My hair was stronger, healthier and less frizzy from the products Jenn had recommended me and the outcome of the hairstyle was beyond my wildest bridal dreams. The makeup and hair lasted throughout the day and night and our bridal party was equally impressed with their talents. The confidence, flawlessness and radiance they gave us on our wedding day were priceless. They are not just a makeup and hair stylists; they are bridal beauty wizards. Their professionalism, artistry, and dedication to making brides feel their best are unparalleled.

    Thank you, Jenn, Sade and Kristen, for being our epic glam squad and for making us feel like the most beautiful versions of ourselves on our wedding day and having fun along they way. We wholeheartedly recommend their services to any bride looking for exceptional beauty expertise. Love you all!

    Wedding Hair & Makeup - Amazing Experience!!

    Jenn and her amazing team did hair & makeup for my wedding. My sister had her team for their wedding as well and I can't say enough amazing things about my experiences with their team. Jenn completely understood the look and vision that I was going for on the day of my wedding. Even on the day of, when I was debating on requesting a bolder makeup look, she reminded me the look I envisioned and I am SO glad I went in that direction instead. I greatly appreciated her professional input and guidance. Her entire team made all of us ladies feel incredible. The mothers and my bridesmaids looked stunning as well!! To top it off, the energy that the team brought to our wedding was perfect and they made us all feel amazing. Forever grateful that I went with them and I'd highly recommend The Veil company to anyone!!

    BEST of the best!!

    I just adore Jenn. I have worked with Jenn a couple times before as a bridesmaid and so when when it came time for my special day, there was no question on who I wanted to work with for my hair and make up! She is kind, personable, professional and just so fun. Would definitely recommend!!

    You Will Not Be Disappointed!

    Jennifer and her crew were amazing to work with. Jennifer worked with my daughter, the bride, until she achieved the perfect look she was going for. Jennifer was communicative, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable. Plus her energy was just what we needed on the wedding day. The bridal party and both moms were also treated to their expertise and everyone was beautifully happy.

Their hair and makeup skills are top notch and they all have the most fun personalities that got our early morning energy going and it carried us throughout the day! Will recommend them again and again! Thanks for being the best Jen, Sade and Kristen!!

    10/10 Team!!

    10/10!! Cannot recommend a vendor enough!!! When I first started the wedding vendor search, I was so nervous about hair and makeup - I am not one who wears a ton of makeup and am more of an air dry, straight hair kind of girl! I stumbled upon the Veil early one morning (like 6:30 am early) and without even paying attention to what time it was, I gave Jen a call! After immediately realizing it was 6:30 am, I hung up, and, much to my surprise, Jen called me back immediately and wanted to chat about wedding hair and makeup! Jen’s energy, attitude, professionalism, and skill were unmatched! Throughout the wedding process, Jen would connect to check in, say hi, and see how the planning process was going! I not only worked with Jen for my wedding day but also for my engagement session and hair and makeup trial. Every session was more than I could have ever dreamed! Jen took my vision and made it a reality!
    On my wedding day, Jen brought along Haley, Sade, and Renee! Her whole team was professional, timely, and so talented! Jen and the Veil Team listen to what you want and truly make your dreams a reality! I cannot thank Jen and the team enough for making me and my girls feel absolutely beautiful for my big day!

    More than just a hair and makeup team

    I can not thank this team enough for all that they did for my wedding. First, Jennifer is an amazing artist and person. She was so easy to communicate with and very patient with all my questions and concerns. I was 100% certain that I made the right choice when I did my trial. She is so talented but also great to talk to and such a great hype woman. She made me feel so beautiful and confident. Come the wedding day I was so impressed with her and her team. I had 12 bridesmaids and two mothers getting hair and makeup done and her team did such a good and individualized job with every person. I also had an allergic reaction to an eye mask hours before my wedding. A moment that could have been disastrously Jennifer made so much better. Not only did Jennifer calm me down and assure me everything was going to be okay she also took care of me. Luckily my reaction subsided but Jennifer was so careful when applying my makeup. She took little breaks in between applying different products to make sure I didn't have a bad reaction to anything. She even held a fan up to my face in-between steps to make sure I stayed cool and calm. Even with all these extra steps she still managed to finish my hair and makeup with plenty of time to spare and she made me feel so beautiful.

    Jenn was the best decision!

    Jennifer Saunders and The Veil was an amazing choice for wedding-day hair and makeup. She was very communicative throughout, and was very reasonable compared to the many other professional artists I contacted.
    My mother and I completed trials before the wedding, and while it was a great experience, I was even more happy with how Jenn listened to suggestions I had about how to change my makeup for the wedding day. She remembered and implemented the changes, and my wedding makeup and hair were PERFECT the whole night, even through drizzle and dancing.
    Jenn came early, worked efficiently, and even stayed a bit late to touch up everyone’s hair and makeup before the ceremony. She is so friendly and kind to everyone she works on. Jenn and her assistant artist, Lauren, did beautiful work on all 9 of us that had hair or makeup. Completely happy with my decision to use Jenn and The Veil!

    Professional, Kind, Will Make you Feel Beautiful!

    Jennifer is absolutely a rock-star at what she does, and she and her team are so kind on top of it. She makes getting ready fun and comfortable, she listens to what you want for your style, and she made me feel confident even through my insecurities about my hair and wanting a more natural make-up style -- she made me feel beautiful but still me.

    Absolutely magical — Love Jen!!

    I absolutely LOVED working with Jen. Between changing our wedding date to my bridesmaids changing their minds about services, I must have sent her 10000 emails. She was so patient and so easy to work with. Jen shows up on your wedding day with her team like a fairy god mother. My mom and I had done a trial with her but I was just blown away on my wedding day with everyone’s hair and make up. Everyone at The Veil Bridal Co is so professional and will make getting ready so effortless.

    Jenn & her team are the best!

    Jenn and her team are hair and makeup magicians. I am lucky enough to have had them beautify me a few times now at my wedding and friends’ weddings. They do not disappoint. Not only are they exceptionally talented, they are so much fun to be around and will make your day of getting ready with your best girls even more fun! Jenn does a great job of managing the wedding day timeline. She prioritizes the bride and takes the time to meticulously perfect your hair and makeup, while ensuring she has plenty of her amazing team there for your bridesmaids, etc. Jenn also offers a private mother/daughter hair and makeup trial. It was such a great experience for my mom and me - she spent 4-5 doing our hair and makeup and teaching us a lot along the way. Highly recommend booking The Veil!

    Amazing Experience, Felt Like a Princess!

    Jenn and her team are absolutely incredible! I usually hate my hair and makeup at weddings and feel overdone and unnatural. I prioritized finding a hair & makeup vendor that captured a natural wedding look. Finding Jenn was a blessing and I am so thankful to her for making me and my bridal party feel like queens on my wedding day - all at a very reasonable price. I booked a hair and makeup trial with her 1 month before the wedding and I am so glad I did. She really listened to me and redid my hair 4 times (sorry Jenn!) until I was happy with the trial. Our wedding day ran so smoothly and we ended up ahead of schedule. She is also just a FUN person to spend 5+ hours with on your wedding day. Do not hesitate to hire The Veil Hair & Makeup, you will not regret it!

    Must-have for hair and makeup!

    I hired the Veil for wedding hair and makeup for me, my bridesmaids, and some groomswomen (11 people total). Since it was a Halloween wedding, we were all dressed up in costumes. They were completely open to different makeup styles (like 80s makeup, glitter makeup) and hair styles. They are also so sweet and great people to be around. Everyone looked gorgeous! I am so happy with this team and would highly recommend the Veil to anyone!

    Family!!!!!!

    I hired Veil hair and makeup for my bridesmaids, mother and myself for my special day! The process was smooth from start to finish as I searched for a company who could supply both hair and makeup services. I didn’t look any further once I met Jenn! She sent me a guide of services they offer including pricing- it was very detailed and easy!
    After I signed I made an appointment with Jenn for a bridal trial a month before the big day. It was so fun and being with her was a huge pleasure! She was SO sweet, welcoming, and I felt like we were friends for years! I’ve met a good bit of hair and makeup artists whose conversations were typically dull and treated as just a job and service. This definitely isn’t the case for Jennifer Saunders or anyone through this wonderful company! She gushed about how much she loved her job and being apart of such a special day as being an honor. I definitely felt that… when my day finally came there was a slight issue with where we were staying. Jenn was very accommodating, patient, and helpful when it came to figuring out a solution. It wasn’t on their end, but she truly was helpful and so patient! Everyone’s makeup turned out FLAWLESS and I couldn’t stop looking at how clear and beautiful my girls’ skin looked! And the hair… oh boy… stunning and so creative! I’m just so happy with how everything turned out and the ladies of veil hair and makeup worked such magic. I was sad when my morning ended but hope to work with them again in the future! I want to keep in touch with Jenn because she truly was a pleasure and was so helpful with me through my process. She cared about how I was doing and was there for me when I had issues with my bridal party!! I totally recommend them for anyone and everyone!

    Incredible Hair & Makeup, Super Fun Experience!

    Jenn and her team were so incredible to work with! She was so helpful guiding me through my trial and listened to all my feedback. She helped my mom decide what to do for her look and made her feel much more at ease. She fit in another service at the last minute for a close family member of mine that had lost her hair to chemo and needed help with styling. The morning of the wedding, her whole team was so easy going and fun to hang out with! She was prompt, professional, receptive, and most importantly, made me look and feel like a legit princess on my wedding day!

    The BEST in the business - period!!!

    Where do I even begin?! Jenn and her team are true treasures. Hands down an incredible person, artist, and vendor. My wedding day would not have been the same without her. Honestly I want her in my life all of the time! Jenn brings amazing energy and talent to your wedding day and is the ultimate hype woman - she honestly made me want to cry with her kindness. And all of that aside, she is GIFTED! The whole team is. Mine and my bridesmaids hair and makeup never looked better. I truly felt like a princess and heard the same from all of the girls. They executed complicated styles and kept us running on time. I also highly recommend having Jenn stay back for touch ups after a first look or photos - absolutely worth it. This woman and her team are honestly priceless and a must-have and you can book them! Love The Veil!!!!
