Laurie and the artists at Behind the Veil beauty made my wedding day a breeze. From the time of booking, Laurie stayed in contact with me providing timely updates and ensuring that all of my requests were documented. This ensured that the morni...
ng of the wedding went off without a hitch! The team arrived early and finished early, which meant that we had more than enough time to ensure that the photographer was able to capture the shots we needed and everyone had the necessary touch ups. Most importantly - everyone looked gorgeous. The makeup accentuated everyone’s beauty and was as subtle or as bold as they wanted it. The hair held up through all of the events and late into the night dancing. I would definitely recommend BTV Beauty to anyone needing hair and make up services for their wedding!
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!
Behind the Veil was wonderful to work with throughout the planning process. They were informative, responsive, and personable in their approach. I used my trial make up as my engagement shoot make up. Joan was incredible at listening to what I ...
wanted and made me feel at ease the whole time. Plus, I loved talking with her about our love for our pets! Joan also did the make up for the bridesmaids, mothers of the bride and groom, flower girls, and me on the wedding day. She did an excellent job managing time and making sure each person had time for final touch ups before the ceremony. I have never felt more beautiful.
Suzie and Brittany were AMAZING! They were lightning fast but still achieved my vision beautifully. My hair and makeup lasted all night!
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!!!
I used behind the veil for our hair service (Thea was our stylist) and it turned out amazing! She did a great job with everyone’s hair and it really lasted all night! She did exactly what everyone asked and she is really fast too!
I had such a wonderful experience with Behind the Veil both with their hair and make-up services. My whole bridal party (including myself, my mother, and my mother-in-law) looked amazing!
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.
I hired BTV for onsite hair and makeup for our wedding. Based on the services that day, the team would get 5 stars, but the communication before the wedding was not so smooth. Your only interaction with the onsite team is day of your wedding, b...
eyond that you communicating with others via email. Unfortunately, the email correspondence is highly lacking. There was an abundance of miscommunication, lack of responsiveness etc. I would have preferred to hire the artists directly, rather than book through BTV.
We originally did not plan for anyone to do our make-up however about two days before the wedding we changed our mind and reached out to Behind the Veil. Luckily, they were able to accommodate us. Scheduling was quite easy. Brittany was super n...
ice, timely, and most importantly, achieved the natural look we were going for. Highly recommend for any occasion.
I hired Behind the Veil to do the hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and me for my recent wedding. My bridesmaids were thrilled with their hair and makeup, and I received many compliments on mine too! BtV was professional and talented, and they...
made the process easy by coming to our location. I would definitely hire them again!
I had the best experience working with Behind the Veil for our wedding. From day one, I felt like I was in good hands - it was incredibly easy to book our bridal/bridesmaids services and it was an added bonus that their stylists came to us. Suz...
y and Brittany were the absolute best and made our getting ready morning fun. They kept everything moving along without feeling rushed, we were actually ahead of schedule! My girls even added some services and were able to have a relaxing morning. I loved my hair and makeup and felt beautiful on my wedding day. All of my bridesmaids, my mom and mother in law, and our flower girls looked flawless. I would highly recommend Behind the Veil for your big day.
Christina and Maria did make up and hair for me and my bridal party. Everyone can not stop raving over how sweet, efficient and wonderful these ladies were. Not one person was upset with either make up or hair. One and done! They truly listen t...
o what you want and deliver. I always get nervous about looking like a drag queen with make up- but Christina made me look so natural. You can truly tell that she loves what she does! Huge thank you!
I would definitely recommend working with Behind the Veil for your wedding day! I had such a wonderful experience and the hair/make-up turned out amazing! Laurie was so great with scheduling multiple hair & make-up trials to help achieve the lo...
ok I wanted for my wedding day. The girls- Renee and Kelsey- were so sweet and easy to work with! Renee styled my hair and gave me the romantic, loose up-do I wanted and Kelsey gave me the natural make-up look I was going for. They also did an incredible job glamming up the girls in my bridal party- everyone was so happy with their looks! If you book Behind the Veil for your wedding day, you will not regret it! :)
I would highly recommend Behind the Veil! I was a very last minute bride and Laurie was able to find me the perfect hairstylist, Rochelle. And again being last minute, Laurie and Rochelle were able to squeeze me in for my hair trial. I met Roch...
elle for the trial and showed her a picture for inspiration. I wanted a braid and the rest of my hair curly but I was nervous because my hair does not hold curls and with my wedding being in September I was super nervous about the humidity. Rochelle was able to do my hair exactly how I wanted it and the curls actually stayed! Then comes the wedding day, Rochelle was super prompt and professional! I even decided that day I wanted to add an additional braid and a hairpiece. Rochelle was so sweet and accommodating and made my wedding hair so much better than I ever could have envisioned! And as an added bonus my hair stayed curled all night, even through dancing! Rochelle also perfectly styled my bridesmaids hair! Which ranged from half up half down to all down with braids. All in all, Rochelle was truly amazing and I would highly recommend Behind the Veil.
I highly recommend their services. They were a joy to work with and made the process so much fun. I worked with Maria for hair and Autumn for make-up. Maria and Autumn were so much fun and patient and allowed you to try different styles during ...
the trial until you were happy with the final style. I will definitely be using their services again for future events. Absolutely loved them!
Words can’t describe how thankful I am for Behind the Veil! They were extremely flexible, easy to work with, understanding, and so talented! The moment I saw their amazing work at my friends wedding, I couldn’t wait to sign up! I wasn’t the eas...
iest bride because of my work shift schedule, uncertainty on what I wanted and also had a black eye on the day of the wedding. But this company did EVERYTHING they could to help me! The team was always on time, energized, and excited to work with us. Holly was accommodating and worked with my mom and I to get our hair just right. We loved her calm, cool and friendly personality! The make up artist, Angela, did SUCH a terrific job on my eye and make up, no one even noticed my black eye the day of the wedding! The make up was striking but so natural! She was perfect! I absolutely loved it! I got many compliments on how well she did! I dont know what i would have done without her! Laurie was so patient, kind, understanding and such a delight to work with as well! I couldn’t have asked for a better team! Thank you Behind the Veil for making my day better than I could have ever imagined!
The BTV team is absolutely amazing. I am incredibly picky when it comes to hair and makeup and I could not have loved my wedding look more. They even provide you with a day-of getting ready timeline to make sure your wedding morning goes as smo...
othly as possible. Couldn't recommend highly enough.
I am so happy with my decision to use Behind the Veil. I went to a trial at a different popular DC/Baltimore area vendor and they really did not wow me. I gave BTV a shot at their salon location (which is beautiful!) and was blown away by their...
work. Despite how beautiful I felt after my trial, I felt even MORE SO on my wedding day. My bridesmaids, mother, and MIL were also very happy with their hair and makeup. The two ladies we worked with had such a calming presence, which certainly matters a lot when you are spending about 6 hours with them!! The team is professional and great communicators. I would unhesitatingly recommend Behind the Veil Beauty.
Behind the veil was great for our on-site makeup and hair! I have NEVER been in a wedding where we had to move girls around because they were done early instead of being behind schedule. We had more time than we needed for touch up because th...
ey worked so fast and well together. It is great that they have a physical location for trials and that you get to work with the girls you trial with (even if you’re like me and book it a year before your wedding). My head artists Heather and Joseline were open to criticism and really worked to make sure I had the look I wanted for the day! They were both so fun to work with and talk to, which really helps when the nerves start setting in. Everything turned out so well and I was so happy with the service.
I was married on Nov 3rd in Baltimore City and selected Behind the Veil for my hair and makeup team. I could not have been happier with Thea and Shanel for hair and Kelsey and Nicole for makeup. Each stylist arrived on time at the designated lo...
cation and really listened to what each bridesmaid and family member wanted and the level of makeup they were comfortable with. Everyone was thrilled with how their hair and makeup came out, and I could not have been happier with the level of professionalism not only from the stylists but also from the administrative team. Most importantly, the hair and makeup team was very flexible. I had done my hair and makeup trial back in April (which in retrospect was too far in advance) and ended up changing my mind for both hair and makeup on the day of the wedding. Kelsey and Thea were extremely accommodating and with a combination of pictures and descriptions of what I wanted, were able to create the exact look I was going for. It was such an amazing day which was made even better by the fact that I felt beautiful and because working with Behind the Veil was so stress-free.
Behind the Veil really knows how to beautify a bridal party! They were very easy to work with to organize everything ahead of time. The trial was extremely helpful because it gave time to really finalize exactly what I wanted for my wedding day...
. They were a bit pricy but can definitely say it is well worth the price. Would highly recommend!
It was a joy to work with Behind the Veil, LLC for our wedding day make-up! They were prompt and professional during the entire process. Their artists use high-quality make-up that lasts all day and leaves you looking flawless. For the trials t...
hey are very flexible. I would highly recommend Joseline and Laurie for make-up! Thank you, Behind the Veil!
I absolutely loved my hair stylist from Behind the Veil. She arrived on time the day of the wedding to do hair for the entire bridal party and my mom on-site. She was very talented, passionate, and did a fabulous job with all of us. Everyone at...
Behind the Veil was wonderful. Very efficient communication, very friendly and professional staff. Thank you so much for being a part of our special day
We used Behind the Veil for both hair and make-up on my wedding day. Leslie was our make-up artist – and she was wonderful! She knew exactly what each person wanted. We’d describe our “style” in two words, and she would execute our make-up perf...
ectly. My bridesmaids, mother-in-law and flower girl loved her. Maria was also AMAZING! Everyone loved their hair style and Maria knew exactly what to do and was SO quick. Maria and Leslie were both lovely and very sweet. The planning process with Laurie was also a breeze. Her emails were so detailed and thorough, I rarely had questions. She was extremely responsive and helpful, too. Just a wonderful team – highly recommend them (my bridesmaids would, too)!
Behind the veil was absolutely INCREDIBLE. I loved every minute and felt absolutely gorgeous. They did an incredible job fielding all the crazy personalities we had and I appreciated every minute. 10 out of 10 would recommend them to any and ev...

We had an excellent experience working with Behind the Veil! Our main hairstylist was Renee, and main makeup artist was Kelsey (we did have a second hairstylist and makeup artist so that we wouldn't have to start getting ready too early in the...
morning, but in the whirlwind of my wedding day, I forgot their names - they were great though!). I did a trial with Renee and Kelsey, and what I liked best about both of them is how they wanted me to feel completely like myself on my wedding day. I gave Renee a general style I wanted, and she created the most beautiful style. I told Kelsey I wanted very natural makeup, and she came up with a style that made me look like the best version of myself :) On the day of the wedding, things went so smoothly. They arrived on time, and got started right away. They kept everything on track, and we were all finished early! They did touch ups, so no one felt like their hair or makeup wasn't fresh because they went first. They kept the day so relaxed for us - we never felt rushed or stressed. Everyone's hair and makeup came out beautifully, and looked amazing in pictures. My wedding party says that it was worth every penny, and I agree!
I will say these girls are so very talented. I felt like a Hollywood glam queen(whatever that is)! I’m known for my make up skills but I wanted to relax and enjoy being pampered so I had to have the best! Leslie turned it out that day making al...
l my girls looking gorgeous as ever. Thank you to Leslie and heather for all your hard work that day!
I am so glad I choose Behind the Veil for my wedding day hair and makeup. The girls arrived on time day of and actually finished all our (bride, bridesmaid, mother of the bride) hair and makeup ahead of schedule! Everyone looked so beautiful th...
at day and all our makeup lasted throughout the entire day/night. The makeup looks especially good in all my pictures. The company will travel to you to get ready the day of and are very accommodating with working with any special requests. When I first received my invoice, bride hair and makeup was not included (which was a bit shocking). Other than the slight billing mishap, I have no complaints. I would highly suggest working with them for your wedding day.
I really loved working with BTV because everything was so organized and clear from the very beginning. Our trial went swimmingly and they even added a last minute person to the schedule for us. Our hair and make-up artists arrived early and...
were able to get started right way. We were all ready ahead of schedule because of their diligence! I'm giving a four for two reasons. The first is that they used so much volume powder on my mom's hair, it looked like she had a white patch of hair. and the other is that despite me saying I wanted my hair "tight" so it would last all night, it still fell out before the end of the evening. Not entirely their fault because I had a blast dancing, but I still think it could've held up better. Thank you!
We loved working with Behind the Veil! Not only were they nice enough to give me, the bride, a second hair and makeup trial for free, but they were also super helpful in picking the best look for me. On the wedding day, I ended up waking up wit...
h pink eye in one of my eyes and Heather, my hair and makeup person, was super sweet and nice about it. I used my own makeup and she was able to scrap some of it off of the top so that I would not have to throw all of my makeup away. I would definitely recommend every bride/ bridal party using Behind the Veil as their hair and makeup vendor!
My hair and makeup artists from Behind the Veil did an AMAZING job with everyone's hair and makeup on the day of my wedding. There were 6 people (4 bridesmaids, mother of the bride, and bride) needing hair and makeup the morning of the wedding....
Our hair and makeup artists were timely, professional, and truly listened to what each individual wanted their "look" to be the day of the wedding. I highly recommend Behind the Veil! Thank you for making us all feel absolutely beautiful!
I had a bad experience with the first makeup company I had tried for my wedding so I was very wary as I went forward trying to find a new one. My friend suggested Behind the Veil as they had done her sister-in-law's wedding. Laurie from Behind ...
the Veil put my mind at ease. She was always on top of replying to my messages and was willing to answer any questions I had. The day of the trial I arrived at the salon they work out of and very much enjoyed meeting and working with Nancy. She was very nice and easy going and she wanted to make sure she nailed the vision I had for my makeup. The week of my wedding Laurie made sure to follow up with me regarding a timeline and to give me Nancy's contact information so that I had it if needed. On the big day Nancy arrived on time and ready to work. Again, she was very nice and made sure she was doing everyone's makeup exactly how they wanted it. She stayed until everyone left for pictures just in case anyone needed a touch up which was great. Overall a great experience and I would highly recommend them to anyone.
BTV was truly amazing to work with for our wedding. From the start, they were extremely responsive with my questions and were so accommodating. The day of the wedding we had Renee for hair and Leslie for make up. Both did a phenomenal job on th...
e wedding party and family. Not only are Renee and Leslie true artists at their skill, they were fun to have around while getting ready. I’m still having friends and family rave about how wonderful they were and how great everyone looked!
I am so glad I chose behind the veil for hair and makeup services for my wedding. Their costumer service is fantastic, and the artists are talented, friendly, and very receptive to your wishes. You are in good hands with them!
I was lucky enough to work with the Behind the Veil team on my wedding day and can’t recommend them enough! I wanted to work with a company that could offer both hair and makeup services, were well reviewed (just check out the other praise that...
they’ve received!), and I needed to feel confident that they could complete hair and makeup for a large group of women in a short time frame. The team did all hair and makeup for our wedding day (Bride, Bridesmaids, Mother of the Bride, Mother of the Groom) in under four hours, and everyone loved their look!
Behind the Veil provided hair styling and make up services for our daughter's Memorial Day weekend wedding at Celebrations at the Bay. Services were provided for the bride, bridesmaids (7) and mothers of the groom and bride. The results were ...
amazing and the bride and all of the ladies looked stunning. They were very flexible in setting up scheduling for a large party and performed all services at the base hotel location at the Hampton Inn BWI. High quality, responsive, professional. Highly recommend.
I was referred to Behind the Veil for my wedding, which took place April 18th, 2015 and I couldn't be happier with them! Kristi and Jocelyn are so nice and amazingly talented, our hair and make-up were perfect! I am so glad to have met them bo...

Having a small wedding, I decided to just have my hair done. Our stylist Caitlin was amazing - she made my hair look stunning - and she styled two mothers, four sisters and a flower girl, quickly and with beautiful styles. Everything was organi...

BTV did make-up and hair for my family and I. They came highly recommended from my photographer and I see why. Their work is phenomenal and they were such a joy to work with! Our make-up and hair also held up throughout the day and well into th...

I worked with Behind the Veil for my wedding and they were wonderful. Angela did makeup and Mary did hair. A few months before my wedding I had a trial with both of them and the look was exactly what I was going for. The day of the wedding they...
came to the wedding site and did hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and everyone seemed to love what they did. My wedding was outside and 90 degrees and my hair and makeup stayed all day/night. I would highly recommend airbrush for a hot, outdoor wedding!
Behind the Veil (Maria) did an excellent job on my hair and that of the bridesmaids, mother of the groom, and grandmothers. I also had a beautiful, natural and touch of smoky makeup. Everyone loved their looks for the day. I had a hair trial...
(but not a makeup trial) and I would suggest it. It helped to work out the overall design. I had some pictures to guide both hair and makeup and the ladies did a fantastic job. They came to our hotel early (6am) to get everyone started! They were professional and do a great job! Highly recommended!
A month before my wedding, I had a horrible hair trial with a different vendor. I was so grateful to learn that stylists were still available on my wedding day. Caitlin (hair) and Chelsea (make-up) were awesome! Caitlin was great to work with a...
nd it was such a relief when she did my hair perfectly at the trial! She was so much fun on the day of and fit right in with my girls. Chelsea is a true artist with makeup and made me feel beautiful! I'm not a big make-up person (normally just wear mascara and eye shadow); she did a wonderful job and it didn't feel like my make-up was caked on. The pictures looked great! Everyone in my wedding party (moms and grandmoms included) were so happy with their hair & make-up. While it's a little pricey, it's well worth the money!
I had no idea where to turn for hair and makeup for my wedding day, because I've never used such services before. I had heard of Behind the Veil through friends and saw that they had good reviews, so I figured, why not? I scheduled my trials an...
d was blown away by what a great job they did! The girls were so nice and they really listened to my requests and opinions. I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup that day from total strangers, and it was only the trial run!
Behind the Veil was very patient and accommodating with me (a somewhat frantic bride!) in the weeks leading up to my wedding. They were good about responding to me concerning any of my thoughts and concerns. About a week before my wedding day they sent me a confirmation e-mail that included some very useful tips and reminders for the day of, which I promptly forwarded to my bridal party. It even included my artists' numbers, in case we needed to be in touch! When the big day finally came the girls were punctual and brought everything they needed. They were very calm and fun to work with, and they left me with whatever supplies they thought I might need throughout the day (bobby pins, face powder, etc.). I couldn't have asked for a better team to have with me on my wedding day!!
Angela and Maria are absolutely incredible. They provided such gorgeous hairstyles and makeup to myself, my bridesmaids, grandmother, mother and mother-in-law. They made me look and feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day and I can't thank ...
them enough for everything! I HIGHLY recommend them and their company to any bride looking for hair and makeup for their wedding day!!
We used Behind the Veil for hair and makeup - and all the ladies did a wonderful job. We had a bit of a scheduling problem, but they brought in extra people to make sure the hair was done on-time and we were able to continue on. There may be ch...
eaper people out there, but they did such a good job - you truly get what you pay for! I received so many compliments on my hair that day.
I used Behind the Veil for wedding hair services. Myself, as well as my mom and 3 bridesmaids had our hair done by Thea at the hotel that we got ready at in Frederick. Thea was great at my hair trial, doing numerous styles for me so that I coul...
d make a decision. On the day-of she arrived on time and provided excellent hairstyles for all of us. She was friendly and fun to work with and the prices are reasonable compared to other places in the area that are willing to travel.
The ladies from behind the veil are amazing at what they do. I was very happy with both my hair and make up. very proffesional and super nice :) I will deff recomend them to everyone
I was really concerned about finding a make-up artist because I have extremely sensitive skin on my face. A friend’s stylist recommended I contact Behind the Veil and I am so glad I did. The co-owners were extremely responsive and answered a...
ll of my questions and put my mind at ease. Being for the DC area, going to the trial was a bit of a haul since the studio they use is about an hour away but in the end, it was worth it. Nicole (make-up) and Young (hair) were our stylists for the day and they did an amazing job on everyone. The only thing I wasn't thrilled about was the flower girls hair. It fell out fairly quickly, but that may be more b/c she is an active kid and not b/c of her hair style.
Our make-up looked natural but heavy enough to look good for pictures and everyone’s hair looked great. Several people have continued to compliment how great all of the ladies looked.
My hair stylist Heather was professional, artistic, creative and quick on her feet. I knew what I wanted but could not find a picture to show her. With a few discriptive words she knew right away what to do and she made my hairstyle even more b...
eautiful then I could've imagened. Without any pitures for guidance she was aslo able to do all the bridesmaids hair to fit my wedding theme (Old Hollywood)
