- JENNIFER SAUNDERSOwner and Lead Hair and Makeup ArtistI have always been an artist since drawing with chalk on the sidewalk as a child. Painting and illustration is something I always thrived in. I have a graphic design degree from AI that definitely helped me find my way into my favorite mediums, makeup and hair styling! I thrive in a setting filled with people and love sharing in our brides day! I love meeting their friends and family and I feel honored to be sharing such a special time with our clients. I continue to learn and grow to stay on trend and give brides the look they are hoping for. My favorite hair and makeup styles are romantic, rustic and bohemian. I love bringing our clients' vision to life!!
- SADE TAYLORHair StylistIn 2009 I started my career as a stylist in a salon where I worked for 6 years. I absolutely love doing special occasion hair and making every client that sits in my chair feel beautiful .If I had to choose my favorite updo I’d say anything boho, ethereal and textured. I’m married to my hunky husband Michael and we have three beautiful babies together. I adore all my little babes and spending time with my family. When I’m not chasing after my three littles or doing hair I love binge watching Game of Thrones and eating a good slice of pizza.

Kristen and Renee made my wedding day so special. I felt beautiful and had so much fun getting ready with them, and my wedding party did too! Kristen did my trial too and did an amazing job listening to my requests since I don’t typically wear a lot of makeup.
My skin looked beautiful and glowy and it was just the perfect amount of makeup. My hair held so well and I really loved it, rave reviews from all of my bridesmaids and moms too! Highly recommend the Veil!!

WOW. I cannot say enough good things about Jenn and Sade. My mom and I met them at our mother/daughter hair and makeup trial and we laughed the entire time. They asked us a lot of questions and helped us figure out what we wanted. When I completely changed my mind on my hair the week before the wedding, they were SO helpful. Jenn overnighted hair extensions for me (I cut it close though lol) and I could not have been happier with how my hair turned out. Getting ready the morning of the wedding wouldn't have been the same without them. Not to mention the quality of everything - my makeup didn't budge and my hair looked incredible all night. I feel like the pics don't do the makeup justice - I felt flawless! Same with my wedding party! Jenn and Sade care about their clients so much and it shows :) If you're looking for the best hair and makeup team there is, you found it!

The absolute best!!
When planning my wedding I knew three things I wanted: to marry my husband, my color would be pink and I wanted Jenn to do my glam.
Jenn did my mom’s wedding hair and makeup back in 2016, and mine as a bridesmaid! After we booked our venue she was the first vendor I went to.
I have never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day all thanks to her and her team. We did my trial a few months before and decided on a low bun, but day of I switched to an updo and Jenn is truly a perfectionist and took her time and delivered even better than the inspo pics. My hair and makeup lasted all night dancing.
Her team for our wedding day: Kristen, Sade and Taylor are also so so talented and made all the bridesmaids and moms look absolutely stunning. They are all so professional, kind, funny and friendly and made getting ready so much fun!!!! Best in the business, if you’re getting married booking them is a no brainer, do it do it!!!!!!!!!!!

Kristen and Jenn were both amazing! Kristen made me feel the most beautiful I've ever felt in my life. The products that they use are also high quality - I didn't even feel like I was wearing that much make-up if any at all. Jenn was also incredibly responsive throughout the whole process. I can't recommend them enough!

From the moment I spoke with Jenn over the phone last fall, I knew I had to go with her and her team. Not only did they understand the magic of the moment, they made me feel so special and beautiful - truly, the best hype team a woman could ask for! Beyond that, Jenn answered any question or concern I had, no matter how big or small.
From the trial to the day of, I was so pleased with how everyone’s hair and makeup turned out - including a special request, my now husband’s man bun. Thank you to Jenn and Sade, it means the world you all traveled all the way to South Carolina for our day and were such a part of making it so special. I can’t recommend their team enough for all your wedding or special event needs!

If I could give Jenn and her team more than 5 stars, I would! Jenn's exceptional talent shone through not only during my engagement shoot but also on my wedding day. She worked magic on my super long, thick, curly hair, transforming it into soft, smooth, voluptuous curls both times. I vividly remember telling Jenn during my wedding makeup trial that I wanted to look like Christina Aguilera in "Burlesque" when she masters her makeup. Jenn understood my vision perfectly and brought it to life on my wedding day. The compliments didn't stop all night!
Jenn's team – Sade, Lauren, and Kristen – were equally amazing, helping my bridesmaids and man of honor look stunning. Everyone raved about their beautiful transformations, and we had an absolute blast getting ready together. The team was patient, professional, and attentive to each person's preferences and inspirations.
Jenn's professionalism, kindness, and personable nature made the entire experience unforgettable. She made me feel more beautiful than I ever imagined. I cannot recommend Jenn and her team highly enough! Book them – you will not be disappointed!

I'm so glad I chose The Veil for hair and makeup for my wedding. When I was looking around for hair and makeup artists, I wanted to be sure to find someone who knew how to style curly hair and work with my natural hair texture. Jenn sent me sample photos of other brides and had a phone call with me before I booked, both of which left me feeling confident of her skills with curly hair. Leading up to the wedding, I was nervous about my hair and makeup trial because I was worried that my hair was too fine and thin for a good-looking updo. Jenn offered to have a FaceTime call with me to look at my hair, recommend products and styling techniques, and describe her process to me. She was so reassuring, and it turned out I had nothing to worry about because my hair looked amazing both after the trial and on the wedding day. Jenn was also great about listening carefully to what I wanted and making changes during the trial if I didn't like something. She was warm, friendly and so easy to spend time with.
The morning of the wedding, Jenn and her colleague Sade made all of us - my mom, sister, mother-in-law, and I - look gorgeous. Both women were a blast to hang out with. They could tell I was feeling tense, and they really helped me relax and feel comfortable. I was concerned about getting ready on time, but they were punctual and efficient without rushing. During the wedding, I received a ton of compliments on my hair and makeup, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. I strongly recommend hiring The Veil - they were professional, reliable, kind, and very talented!

Jenn and Sadé are so professional yet so fun at the same time. They helped my sisters, myself, and my wife feel absolutely amazing! My wife's hair tends to poof up when it is humid and they helped it lay and stay flat as ever!! They really know what they're doing and have fun doing it, while making sure you're having fun too! They will never let you leave their chair feeling anything other than the most beautiful person ever.

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!

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!

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!

We recently had The Veil Hair and Makeup Company do the hair and makeup for my daughters wedding. Jenn, Sade and Kristin did an absolutely insane job making the bride, bridesmaids, MOB and MOG look stunning! Their energy, warm personalities and professionalism were an added bonus to their incredible talent. Each one is an artist! We began our journey with the makeup and hair trial with Jenn and never looked back. Jenn and her crew were the absolute BEST! 5 stars are not enough!

Jennifer and her staff were absolutely a pleasure to work with. Not only is their hair and makeup skills perfect but they also take the time to get to know you and your bridal party and are a fun group to laugh and chat with on your big day. Jennifer does a bridal trial which was an awesome way to get to know each other and see what styles work. Jennifer ensured that every piece of hair was perfect. I cannot recommend the veil enough.

AH! I JUST LOVE THESE LADIES! They make you feel like a star and your best friend by the end of the day. Jen is possibly the best human being and was so fun to work with. As someone who is incredibly indecisive, Jen made sure I looked the most beautiful I've ever looked or felt in my life. Not to mention, all of my bridesmaids were absolutely stunning and even they couldn't stop talking about how it's the best hair/make-up, they've ever had done. I would go to them 1000x over again for anything and might just even pop in to say hi because that's how great they are!

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.

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!

If you want to feel beautiful and at an affordable price, do not hesitate to book Jenn and her team! Jenn, Sade, and Lauren were a delight to work with. From the trial to the wedding day we felt so loved and beautiful with each encounter. So many of our guests complimented our hair and make up, including a hair and make up artist herself. Jenn even saved the day for my husband when he needed a comb! I have never felt more beautiful than that day and I cannot recommend The Veil Hair and Makeup Co more! You will NOT be disappointed.

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 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!

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!

Jennifer, the incredible owner of The Veil Hair and Makeup Co, was the hair and makeup artist for my October 2021 wedding, and I 100% recommend her to all brides!
During my hair and makeup trial, Jennifer instantly made me feel comfortable and beautiful!!! She made my vision come to life and helped me feel extremely confident heading into the wedding day.
On the day of the wedding, she managed all of my bridesmaids and MOB personalities (ha!) and was extremely flexible and kind towards everyone. She hyped everyone up and made them feel like the most beautiful versions of themselves!! I have never felt more beautiful or confident and everyone’s hair and makeup looked incredible throughout the entire wedding.
Thank you Jennifer for being the ultimate hype girl and making me feel like the most beautiful bride!!!

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!

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!!!!

Oh my word I can't say enough good things about Jenn and Sade. To start, Jenn fit me in for my rehearsal dinner hair and make up. Everyone told me I looked like a greek goddess. Then for my hair for the wedding, oh my gosh what can I say? There was no frizz (90 degrees and humid in Richmond, VA so yeah we battled that), stayed in place and no headache from the up do! Ladies, you understand what I'm talking about. All day, no headache! Any time I need my hair done and I'm in Richmond, I will be calling Jenn and her team up! She is also a great person and hilarious to be around. She truly tries to get to know you and your family and her jokes, guys, she's got jokes! Thank you again!

I was on the edge of a bridal meltdown from a defect on my face but Jenn did her magic and no one ever knew it was there! I could not have been happier with the end result for myself and my bridal party. Everyone looked fabulous and I felt like a princess. Highly recommend!

Although I made the decision to cancel my March 2021 wedding, I had the opportunity to meet with Jennifer for my make-up and hair trial. Jennifer has talent and beauty acumen, but more importantly, she has a shining personality, genuine and kind. She was a master at deciphering what look I wanted on my wedding day, and at the end of my trial I looked like myself (important!) but felt like everything was enhanced and the best version of myself. I would not hesitate to recommend her services and if I am ever in need of hair or make up in the future I would book her!

Jenn is amazing! I am not someone who styles my hair or does my makeup very often, so I didn't really know what I wanted when I walked into her studio for a trial, but she worked wonders! My hair and makeup looked incredible for both my engagement photos and my wedding day. Jenn herself is so fun, positive, and upbeat. Even though it was an early morning for everybody, Jenn made the best of it and was chatting with my mother, mother-in-law, and bridesmaids and made them feel very comfortable. She and Sade did an amazing job and everyone felt so beautiful. I should also add that it rained all night at my wedding, and I also wore a mask during the night and cried a few happy tears, but my hair and makeup withstood all of that! I'm going to be coaxing my bridesmaid who is getting married next year to use Jenn for her wedding as well :)

Jenn is by far the best hair and makeup artist that I've ever crossed paths with. Not only as a professional event coordinator, but as a trustworthy bridesmaid and recent bride myself, I could not recommend Jenn and her team more! Jenn did the hair and makeup for my best friend's wedding and it was the best experience. From the bride's trial to the day-of, everything was seamless. I feel like it is often difficult to have everyone in the bridal party 100% happy with their hair and makeup, but Jenn knocked it out of the park. Everyone looked stunning! My best friend and the bride was so lucky to have Jenn for her wedding. I only wish I knew about her for mine :)

Jenn and her team were amazing!!! She is first off such a wonderful person. She is high energy and so positive to be around. She goes above and beyond for her clients. She made me feel beautiful and confident on my wedding day. I was in love with all of my bridesmaids hair and make up and felt so lucky to have her there on my wedding day!

Jenn and Sade did a great job with my hair and make up and my bridal party's hair. They showed up bright and early the morning of the wedding and were very upbeat with great energy. My makeup stayed on all day!

Jenn and her team are AMAZING!! It was like having our personal dream team. Our moms and my bridal party and flower girl looked incredible.
From the moment I met Jenn I felt like I’ve known her for years! You can tell she loves what she does and it’s more than just a job. Jenn’s positive, fun and energetic personality was the perfect vibe for the morning of my wedding. Jenn did a fabulous job with my hair and makeup making me feel my best and beautiful on the best day of my life!

The absolute BEST. Jenn made me feel so incredibly beautiful on my wedding day, the most beautiful I've ever felt in my whole life. I was extremely nervous leading up to the day--mostly worried about having everyone's eyes on me--as soon as Jenn finished with my hair and makeup, I felt confident and ready to be in the spotlight. Seriously, every ounce of nervousness disappeared once I saw myself in the mirror. It was amazing.
Jenn is an angel. She's the most genuine, helpful, caring person. Her and her team are pros--the best in the area. You'll have absolutely nothing to worry about on your wedding day. Thank you Jenn for everything!!!

Jennifer Saunders is simply the best. I looked exactly how I always envisioned myself looking on my wedding day: the most beautiful version of myself, and I owe it all to Jenn. I am usually super picky about my hair and makeup, but Jenn really listened to what I wanted and my hair and makeup were absolutely perfect on my wedding day. I could not have been happier.
Jenn also brought a team (Sade and Renee) with her to do hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and similarly they all LOVED their hair and makeup too. My bridesmaids kept raving about how great Jenn and her team were! What was also nice is that all of them were so upbeat and had such great energy that getting hair and makeup done with them on the day of the wedding was a fun experience. I HIGHLY recommend Jennifer Saunders to all brides out there!

I wish I could give Jennifer 10/5 stars!!! This lady is THE REAL DEAL! Jennifer is so talented. Her love for hair and makeup shines through her work. I was in a tough situation, my hair stylist didn’t work out about two months before our wedding. In a bind, I reached out to Jennifer and let me tell you...best decision ever! My bridal party and I had so much fun getting ready with Jennifer!

I don't even know where to start!!! Jenn has impressed me since the second I met her. She did my hair when I was a bridesmaid and I loved everything about it. I showed her a picture of a complicated up-do/braid/twist and she crafted it perfectly--- it looked AMAZING and I usually dislike my hair up. I felt awesome. I also watched her do the same for everyone elses' hair too. I 1000000% knew I was hiring her when I got married. Fast forward two years, and I hired Jenn as my hair stylist for my wedding the second I could!!!! I was so so so excited to work with her again. AND to no surprise, she nailed it!!!!! Everyone loved their hair and looked fantastic. She knows how to make everyone feel great. I felt like an angel which was such a special feeling. THANK YOU THANK YOU JENN. You are a rare gem of a person and extremely talented at what you do!!!!!!

She is the absolute best. If you could picture the perfect personality for your makeup/hair artist to have for your wedding day-she would be it. She is so much fun, and extremely talented. My hair and makeup was flawless. Everyone was so impressed!

Not only is Jennifer amazing at what she does, but she has the BEST personality to go along with it! There is a reason she has 5 star reviews! We booked her for wedding hair and makeup. She made my mom, bridesmaids, and I feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful. She listened to what we wanted and our hair and makeup turned out gorgeous. She gave me a timeline of who was getting their hair and makeup done and when, so on the day of everything went smoothly. She finished even before she planned, so there was plenty of time for a first look and before ceremony pictures. She stayed and helped me secure my veil before leaving, and left me with makeup for touch ups. We absolutely loved Jennifer and they way she made us look and feel on such a special day!
