Very professional and willing to work through anything you throw at them. Halfway through getting everyone ready, I requested that we move locations since the venue had food and drinks but we didn’t have access early enough to start there. Without batting an eye they made it work and never made me feel bad about it. I am very picky about my winged eyeliner and she was willing to work with me to make it perfect! The team was so great to work with and I will always recommend them!

I used Behind the Veil on my wedding day and the team was incredible! They were prompt, communicative, and more importantly made everyone look stunning. My girls were raving about how they looked all day. I've never seen a bridal party so happy with their services. Truly loved them.

Behind the Veil was one of our very favorite vendors of the wedding weekend!!! They are incredible. Every single bridesmaid, MOB, MOH, and myself felt BEAUTIFUL. They were SO flexi...

ble with our trial, working with my sister, my mom, and I to ensure that we all LOVED our hair and makeup and permitted a repeat trial to make sure we were 100% happy and excited. On day of the wedding, they were all timely, kind, and professional. They got the job done, went above and beyond, and were supportive, flexible, reliable, and responsive all the way through. Additionally, their prices are very reasonable. Their work is flawless and exactly executed our visions. I 100% recommend BTV for all bridal/bridesmaids services and am so grateful we booked them!!

I wish there were 10 stars to award this fantastic team! I absolutely loved my experience with Kelly and Lauren. Both were beyond professional—extremely talented and incredibly fun...

. All of the bridesmaids and myself had our hair done and everyone looked fantastic. It was raining on our wedding day but you wouldn’t know it having looked at our hair 💖 same could be said for our makeup! These ladies brought so much joy to the morning of the wedding—lots of energy and excitement and honestly felt like they were part of our crew. I fear I may have peaked in my beauty on my wedding day thanks to Behind the Veil, and frankly, I’m fine with that! BOOK. THEM. NOW.

tart, they were punctual the day of, and they were great about keeping us all on schedule to make sure everyone's hair and makeup was done with extra time aside for touch ups before pictures.

And besides being organized, punctual, and professional, they were also just a blast to hang out with, so my bridesmaids and I all had such a fun time getting ready. They did a great job!

er to do my hair for the big day. Kylie and her team did an amazing job! All of my bridesmaids hair and makeup looked stunning and I loved the way I looked on my wedding day and my hair and makeup lasted all night long (through some pretty intense dancing might I add). I did two trials beforehand and they listened to my feedback and executed beautifully. They were professional, courteous, organized and I couldn’t recommend them enough!

best version and they captured that perfectly. They understood my vision not only for myself, but also for my girls and everyone looked flawless. The way in which they work together is amazing and allowed us to optimize the prep time and not feel rushed, there was plenty of time to relax and soak in the day. I am forever grateful and cannot speak highly enough of them both!
