Born from a passion for artistry and a belief that every person deserves a space where they feel truly cared for. Since 2015, we have been New York City's sanctuary for luxury beauty.
Velvet Rose was founded in 2015 by Elena Marchetti, a veteran colorist who trained in Paris and Milan before bringing her vision to New York's Upper West Side. Her goal was simple: create a space where world-class technique meets genuine hospitality.
What started as a boutique studio with three chairs has grown into a full-service luxury salon employing eight specialist artists — each an expert in their discipline. We are proud of every client who walks out our door feeling transformed.
We partner exclusively with professional luxury brands — Kérastase, Olaplex, La Mer, and Dermalogica — because our clients deserve only the finest formulations on their hair and skin.
Three principles guide every appointment, every interaction, and every product we choose.
Every stylist trains continuously. We attend global masterclasses, hold advanced certifications, and stay ahead of every technique trend — so your results reflect true expertise.
Your comfort, preferences, and wellbeing guide every decision we make. Every appointment begins with a consultation — and ends with a guarantee that you leave happy.
We quote before we begin. We use what we promise. And if we ever fall short, we make it right — no questions asked. Trust is the foundation of every client relationship.
