Message from Velvet Roses
Although V.R has only been in Williamsburg for close to 4 years, its been in the making for a life time. Maribel (owner) has had a passion for hair, make up and beautification since she was a little girl. Playing with makeup, through much encouragement of her dad she quickly learned how to glam-up herself, family & friends . Following her passion, she was offered a PT job at a petite trendy Soho, NYC salon. The owner of this very popular salon quickly noticed Maribel?s potential and took her under her wing. Not only did Maribel learn but she took the stylish salon to extreme popularity with local clientele and tourist alike. 10 years of hard work finally paid off when she established herself in Williamsburg. V.R, A spacious modern and sleek family owned business in the ever changing Willyburg Brooklyn, Maribel, Ruthie and Audry have won the support of neighbors, friends, family & h

In ShortOn the fashionable corner of Grand and Havemeyer streets, this cozy Williamsburg salon is accented with jewel-toned pillows, curtains and--naturally--velvet roses. Members of the owner's family take turns sweeping or answering calls, and the mostly local clientele catch sidewalk action from rouge-colored window seats while waiting for their appointments to begin or nails to dry. Highlights, organic relaxers, color corrections and blow-outs are just some options offered from its seven swivel chairs.
Key Points
- All Chemical Process.
- Velvet Nails by Audry @ VRBS
- Modern & Sleek Styling!
The Inside Scoop
- On the Menu - In the back, a teensy pedicure station can accommodate two at a time. Waxing takes place in a discreet side room.
- The Extras - Off-site parties or wedding packages are available upon consultation.
- Know Before You Go - Appointments are best, but this salon tries not to turn away walk-ins.
Reviews for Velvet Roses
I've searched high and low for a hair salon that will give me a good haircut at an affordable price (under $45 for me). I have finally found one!!! What a relief. It took 3 years of searching, by the way, so you can imagine my happiness.
My experience was great. I got friendly service--not snobby service. I felt sooo comfortable. Ruthie cut my hair expertly, after talking to me a bit about what I wanted. I'll definitely be going back again, and again, and again.

Latest reviews from Citysearch.
I visited this salon after finding it on Citysearch. The first visit was impressive, but I am reluctant to submit a review based upon a single experience. My second visit confirmed what I suspected; this is by far the best mani/pedi experience over many decades and localities. It is transformative -- a compressed vacation. My only regret is that I cannot go every day! You owe it to yourself to be this indulgent and you will never want to go anywhere else but to Audrey. Enjoy!!!
Pros: Audrey turns a service into a transformative experience.
Cons: None.

Although I am a semi-faithful customer (semi-faithful meaning I'm not a regular at any salon really) this is definitely my favorite salon, which I frequent the most. I've recommended a few of my friends to Maribel because she is just the best. Most recently I bumped into there latest sale which is just splendid. They have a new Pedicurist Audry so in a triple combo Monday package I got a Manicure, Pedicure and a famous (Maribel) Blow-dry for only $45 bucks. Maribel, needless to say made my hair look flawless and Audry was incredible. she gave me new implements which I take home (sanitary big plus!). The stage like manicurist area was neatly packed with all the essentials of a big nail salon. Definitely worth the trip to Brooklyn.
Pros: Unbelievable prices! service always with a smile. Owner and Staff are supper friendly. Super clean
Cons: ...hmmm non that are worth noting.

My experiences at Velvet Roses have always been the best! Maribel and Ruthie are fabulous and make me feel that way too. I am always greeted and treated with respect and familiarity, it really is like visiting with friends.

I definately recommend Velvet Roses to ANYONE... you will be very satisfied with the service and the price too - I promise!
Pros: Great service for great price =)

I am a common face here at Velvet Roses, as financially possible at least. I love the vibe of this place. Its roomy, clean, modern but not overly modern to where it looks like the owner just tried way to hard. In essence its just perfect! The owner Maribel is the epitome of a superb host, sometime it feels more like your visiting a friend then going to a business. I've had that experience where getting "beautified" feels more like a chore then a treat. Anyhow I mainly go the VR for my color but most recently I've paid a random visit and to my surprise there is a full time pedicurist there, so I say what the hell.....WOW her service was superb, I paid $1.00 extra to have my own implements (very sanitary), she's also offering these crazy pedicures {ice cream, jell-o etc}. It was incredible the way she took her time and really did my feet!
Pros: Consistent excellent service, Very Clean
Cons: Can only do one pedi at a time
