Amanda did a WONDERFUL job with our wedding makeup! She is so talented and really listened to what I wanted for the day. From the makeup trial to the actual day Amanda kept in comm...
unication with me. She was so fun to have in the bridal suite. Connecting with my friends, laughing, and made it feel like we had another best friend in the room. She listened to what each person wanted and really delivered beautiful results. I wanted to still look like me but just feel glowing and elevated. She delivered! Amanda arrived early, kept us on schedule, and even helped me get into my dress and my final touches before our first look. I would highly recommend her to any of my friends, she did a perfect job!
Amanda did my make up for me (bride), my sister, and mom and she was AMAZING. She is so talented and love the way the make up looks! She focuses on your skin looking like skin so i...
t feels natural but also enough glam for your wedding day. Lots of guests told me how my make up stayed all night and don’t move at all which is the goal!
She also stayed with me through photos until before the ceremony and was the absolute sweetest. She made sure to touch me up as needed and even acted as my personal assistant lol she made me feel so calm and was so helpful throughout the entire process. She is also SO cool! It felt like my best friend was doing my make up and hanging out with me all day. I can’t recommend her and veiled vanity artistry enough.
What a dream team! Amanda, Carissa, and their team were such phenomenal partners and I couldn't be happier that we decided to work together!
They were absolutely delightful, easy...
, and fun to work with and spend our wedding day with. You really do spend your wedding day with your partner, the bridal party and your photographers and I felt like these ladies fit right in.
We had a multi-day wedding that came with its own agenda of twists and turns, and the Veiled Vanity team put us at ease. They worked their magic not only as the wildly talented artists they are, but also as a strong source of calm and humor in even the most chaotic moments!
These ladies really listened to each member of the bridal party and as a result we all felt like the most magical versions of ourselves. As the bride, I will always look back on my pictures and memories fondly because of how confident and beautiful the Veiled Vanity team made me feel, and how sparkly they made my friends and family feel all weekend. I highly recommend Amanda, Carissa, and their very professional team, and I am so so thankful we decided to work with them!
Wow I can’t say enough great things about these girls! Amanda and Carissa are beyond amazing! I highly recommend them for both wedding hair and makeup services. It doesn’t get much...
better than this as Amanda and Carissa as well as their whole team are top notch at what they do. I first had a hair and makeup trial with them for my engagement shoot and they had me laughing the whole time and feeling like I’ve known them my whole life. They are so personable and just fun people to be around. Not only did I love talking to them, but then I looked in the mirror and was blown away by how great my hair and makeup looked. They nailed the exact style I was going for and my engagement photos turned out beautifully. Fast forward to the wedding and I was so relieved to know they would be showing up on the morning of my wedding. They were a breath of fresh air and calmed all my pre wedding nerves. Both of their fun yet calm demeanors helped to keep me relaxed and excited for the day. I absolutely loved how my wedding hair and makeup turned out and my bridesmaids also were so happy with theirs. They are so thorough and make sure that they create the exact look you are envisioning for yourself. I will most definitely want them exclusively to do my hair and makeup for any big events from here on out. They are the most amazing girls and will make sure that your wedding day starts off in the best way possible!
I can't recommend these girls enough!! The whole process with Veiled Vanity was amazing - from talking with the team on the phone, to the in-person trials, to having them there wit...
h me on my wedding day. They absolutely work to understand what you like and your comfort level, and don't try to push you into a bridal cookie-cutter box like some other vendors may. I wanted a natural look and they absolutely nailed it - at no point did I feel like I did not look like myself, just like an elevated version of myself! Leslie did my hair and Chelsea did my makeup and the results were stunning - they were so kind to me during the whole process, and I ended up looking even better than I could have imagined. Plus, my hair and makeup stayed ALL night!! I got married up in the Santa Monica mountains so between the wind and sweating under the sun that was no easy task, but the Veiled Vanity team was true professionals. On the day-of, they brought up two other incredible artists, Audrey and Kim, who helped to work on my bridesmaids. They were so kind and skilled as well - the whole team truly is wonderful. I can't recommend them enough for your wedding day!!
Audrey & Susan made my morning so special on my wedding day. They were both so kind, made my bridesmaid's and I feel relaxed and made us look gorgeous and natural. My makeup & hair...

ress of planning a wedding, not to mention during the pandemic. I absolutely loved my make up and so did everyone else. Reasonable prices, great service and overall the best experience. I could not be happier that VVA was a part of my big day!!!

ics and somehow they were able to create a look that was a perfect blend and I could not have been happier on my wedding day!
They were a last minute find (because Covid forced us to make some last minute changes) so we were pressed for time, but they were very easy to work with and helped me feel less stressed about this aspect.
I was unable to have my sisters with me on my special day (again, Covid), but they made me feel like I had all the support I needed!
Thank you Veild Vanity Artistry Team!
Carissa did my hair for our elopement and my entire experience was amazing– from first communication to the end product! My hair was exactly what I wanted, but it even exceeded my ...
high expectations! Carissa herself was also so sweet and accommodating. She even helped me button up my dress prior to leaving. I’m so glad I chose Veiled Vanity for our elopement, and I would 100% recommend!
These ladies made wedding day seamless! Kept a fun happy vibe! Loved having them glam me up with all of my best friends, made for an extra special day!!
Amanda and Carissa were a true delight to work with! From the start they were both super sweet and made me feel at ease amongst all the wedding stress. I am someone who normally ...
likes to do my own makeup and was very nervous trusting someone with my makeup for my big day. The trial helped fine tune things and from there they both knew exactly what I was looking for and nailed it. I literally looked in the mirror the day of my wedding and without thinking the words "dang, I look better than I thought I would" came out of my mouth and my bridesmaids are still laughing about it to this day. This is not something I would normally say, hence why it was so funny. Honestly because of these 2 women, I truly felt like the most beautiful version of ME which is how any bride should feel on her wedding day. I am so glad that I chose Veiled Vanity and you will be too, trust me.
Last but not least, from one recent bride to another, when you are putting together your timeline make sure you plan plenty of time for getting ready with your girls. Time flies by and it can be stressful when time creeps up faster than you think it will.
I can't say enough about Veiled Vanity Artistry! I hired them for my wedding and they were AMAZING. I absolutely loved my bridal look! And my bridesmaids all raved about how much t...
hey loved their looks, too. Amanda, Carissa and team were so lovely to work with and so fun to be around. On top of that, they were punctual, professional and just a breeze to work with throughout my trial, engagement photos and wedding. Thank you ladies for everything! We LOVE you and can't wait to work together again!

omething different with Veiled Vanity from their attention to detail, the art that they create, and just how down to earth these girls are. They are our top preferred vendors and recommend them to everyone for a reason. If you're a bride, these girls don't disappoint.
Veiled Vanity Artistry is by far the BEST in the industry. If you have the opportunity to hire this team for your special day, take it! There is nobody like them, trust me! We were...
so fortunate to have Amanda & Carissa with us every step of the way. They are so amazing and so personable and their personalities light up the room. I have never seen anyone else do such an AMAZING job on both hair & makeup & overall beauty. They listen to you and they turn your vision and your dream into reality. They both stayed with the bride during the ceremony for touch-ups (I highly recommended adding this service, it's a must) and they made sure the bride looked perfect in each picture and before the reception. They even helped the photographer capture the perfect picture and were a great influence on the bridal party as well! Amanda & Carissa made us laugh, they made us smile, they brought so much positive energy and made the entire process so enjoyable. They are truly so special and so talented. Amanda & Carissa & VVA are the perfect asset to any occasion. It was an absolute pleasure, they went beyond all expectations and their work is the most beautiful that I have ever seen!
Amanda & Carissa of Veiled Vanity are the absolute sweetest, most kind and personable vendors for hair & makeup services. They listen to the client, offer suggestions and answer an...
y questions/concerns they may have, and most importantly they adapt to each client's specific needs. They treated me like family and I felt comforted knowing they would take care of me and make me look beyond beautiful for my wedding. I asked both of them to stay after the ceremony for touch-ups and they never left my side, treating me like a princess and making sure my look didn't skip a beat. They went above and beyond my expectations and truly were a godsend amongst all the stress that brides feel. I recommend Veiled Vanity 100 times over, they truly made me feel like I was the most beautiful girl in the world, and by the way, my hair and makeup didn't move once the whole night!!! Thank you Amanda & Carissa, you both possess true talent and genuine hearts that are rare to find in the wedding industry!
Amanda and Carissa were great to work with, and did a great job the day of my wedding! I hired them a few months prior, and they were easy to communicate and coordinate with. They ...
arrived on time and brought all of their gear with them, and kept everyone on schedule throughout the morning. I asked for a natural look, and they did a great job on the hair and make-up for my 6 bridesmaids, mom, and myself (the bride). They made our getting-ready experience fun with great music, conversation, and a professional attitude. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a make-up/hair team for their wedding!
Carissa and Amanda are incredible at what they do!! They are experts when it comes to everyday and special occasion beauty. I rely on them for events, photo shoots, and more and th...

Amanda and Carissa are the absolute dream team when it comes to making a bride look her absolute best on that special day! These ladies were so sweet and not only made myself look ...
my best but did the same for bride tribe. To this day I still get compliments on my hair and makeup from my wedding. It is so obvious that these ladies know their stuff. They both asked all of us the look we were going for, made us feel comfortable, and made us all feel so beautiful. These ladies are magicians and I highly recommend this dynamic duo!
I could not be happier with getting my wedding day makeup and hair done by Amanda and Carissa. From the trial to the day they were absolutely amazing, communicative and completely ...
open and welcoming to any of the changes I threw them. They are both so knowledgable and talented in their craft. In fact, Amanda even did a mini day of tutorial on my day to help the other girls prep for the day!
They were a delight to have, and I'm so impressed with their overall talent and how my hair and makeup came together. I'd absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for hair/makeup for any special occasion!

xpectation with their professionalism, talent and passion for their work. If you want to look absolutely STUNNING then you MUST book VVA because you will regret not having them as your glam squad.
My experience with Veiled Vanity has been wonderful! Carissa is very kind & creative. The hair style she fashioned was amazing and stayed in place all day. Amanda has such a way wi...
th beautiful makeup! The techniques she uses ensures the look you're sporting will stay put regardless of partying.
A huge perk to being involved with this talented duo is this is ONE company that provides 2 services.
When investing in vendors, you're checking off two needs- hair & makeup from one very high quality company. This down to earth duo is the full package. I'm grateful to be connected with this outstanding vendor.
There is no duo like Amanda and Carissa! They made my special day one to never forget. Their talent mixed with their personalities is unbeatable! Don’t think twice, book these two!...
I’ll never be able to express how thankful I am for how beautiful they made me feel! And I’m so blessed to have been able to find them!
