Erin Sent on 01/09/2025Excellent 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! -

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!!!! -

Working with BTV was a great experience from start to finish. Booking with them was easy--they had one of the best values for the price and were responsive and knowledgeable, answering all my questions. They had clear pricing and helped us with needs like coming to us, how to arrange parking for them day-of, etc. My trial with Lynda was great and easy, and we worked out a couple changes for the big day. On my wedding day, Lynda incorporated my requests into the absolutely perfect look -- no notes!!! And all of my friends and family were thrilled with their makeup, too. The airbrush looked phenomenal. She was on time, responsive, and stayed on schedule. And, maybe most... -

We worked with BTV for our September 2024 wedding and couldn't be happier with the experience- Kimi and Nicole were the lead artists for hair and makeup services, and it was perfection! They managed the perfect mix of glam and natural, while making sure that myself and the bridesmaids still looked like ourselves. Everyone's makeup and hair held up wonderfully throughout a night of celebrating and even some rain, which was huge! They also contributed so much positive energy to the getting-ready process which made the day just that much more fun. They came completely prepared to the hotel and helped with creating a schedule to ensure everyone was ready on-time. Absolutely one of our best vendor choices! -

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... -

Douglas Sent on 06/30/2024Beautiful hair and makeup!
So happy with how the beauty for my wedding turned out! BTV was super easy to work with and when my hair stylist last-minute became unavailable the week of my wedding, they quickly found a great replacement. I am very happy with how my hair and makeup, as well as my bridal party's turned out. Great value and great quality! Would definitely recommend to other brides in the MD area! -

Valerie Sent on 10/10/2023great experience!
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. -

Nora Sent on 09/26/2023Disappointing
I honestly cannot in good conscious give BTV higher than 2 stars or recommend them as a company, especially to women of color. I contracted with them back in February 2023 for my September 23rd wedding and I am so unimpressed with them. I’m sure they have good artists but I can’t say that was my experience with them. Everyone was so kind but for the amount of money spent with them, I am so unimpressed.
I did my hair and makeup trial in March 2023. The makeup artist could not match my skin tone or do anything that was close to my inspo pictures. For context, I can do my own makeup and wear makeup regularly enough. I...Behind the Veil's reply:

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! -

Meredith 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... -

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! -

Betsy Sent on 01/23/2023Great team
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... -

Marissa Sent on 12/09/2022Great Experience
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! -
