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.

The team at Behind the Veil Beauty are THE best! From start to finish, they made my bridal hair & makeup experience so easy, beautiful & fun! They helped bring my vision to life at our trial, create a schedule for the wedding day, and executed 8 incredible & unique hair and makeup looks for the bridal party and mother of the bride. We had so much fun getting ready and the process could not be easier! I have known Kelley for 5 years and her and the Behind the Veil team are amazing artists at what they do, I felt so beautiful and special on my wedding day, thanks to them! I would HIGHLY reccomend them to any bride!

Working with Behind the Veil made everything so easy! With 11 of us needing hair and make up done in two separate rooms (two brides), they made this look effortless! They paid close attention to what everyone wanted and made everyone look incredible and natural! Thank you so much!!!!!

The stylists from Behind the Veil did a wonderful job with the hair and makeup for me and my bridal party on my wedding day. They have reasonable prices and great service. I was able to do a hair and makeup trial and they were very open to my feedback and making adjustments to help me feel like an elevated version of myself on my wedding day. I’m so thankful they were part of my big day!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience! Kelley and Lauren put together the schedule for everyone's hair and make up so we knew exactly what to expect and how early we needed to start, 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. They also did such a wonderful job, everyone looked beautiful! As the bride, I was especially happy with how mine turned out, it was exactly what I was hoping it would be. 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!

Kylie, from Behind the Veil Beauty, traveled from Columbus to Cincinnati to style my hair for my wedding in April of 2024. Initially, I had little direction for what I wanted to do with my hair for my wedding, but Kylie provided great direction and was super patient throughout the process. She even allowed me to have two hair trials to ensure I was confident in the style. Day of, she listened to my feedback from the trials and implemented the changes. I absolutely loved my hair, Kylie made me feel absolutely beautiful and was great to work with. I would highly recommend!

Behind the Veil Beauty helped make my wedding day a dream. I felt so beautiful and my bridesmaids looked stunning. They listened to exactly what I wanted- to look like an elevated version of my everyday self- and brought that to fruition. The whole day got off to a great start as they ran on time with a detailed schedule. The atmosphere while getting ready was so light and fun. I’ve had several people ask who did the hair and make up for my wedding, and I’m always happy to recommend Behind the Veil.

I was married in September of 2023 and used Behind the Veil Beauty for makeup and hair for my bridesmaids and my mom. Kylie has been my hair stylist for years and I knew I wanted her 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!

Every bride wants to feel their absolute best on their wedding day, and that’s exactly what Kelley and Kylie did for me. I wanted to still feel and look like myself, just the very 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!

Kylie created 8 exceptional hairstyles for our wedding party and we could not have been happier with our choice to trust her on our big day. From booking to the hair trial to the day of the wedding, the process was incredibly easy, with clear communication and professionalism. I’m still amazed every time I look at our pictures- my hair was exactly how I envisioned it and she really took into account the tendencies of my hair, adding extra product so it would last throughout the night. I cannot recommend Kylie and Behind the Veil Beauty enough!

Kylie is amazing to work with. She goes above and beyond for her clients. I changed my wedding day look the week of, and she pivoted with ease while bringing to life what I had envisioned. Kylie is detail oriented, quick with communication, very knowledgable, and calm under pressure. I would recommend her to any bride to be!
