Amazing staff! The massages are the best in Brooklyn

Found Venelle as a convenient salon in the neighborhood, fell in love with Luba's facials and keep coming back every month even after moving to another borough. Luba offers a variety of services, from rescuing my acne prone skin two years ago when I first started coming to the salon, to keeping it bright and glowing even when I don't get enough sleep and sun. Absolutely love my experience every time I go. Jen, the receptionist, is also very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this place!

I love this salon. I’ve been going here for several years and the staff is exceptional and Ive used them for a wide range of services, from hair coloring, cuts, and blowouts to incredible facials. I used to suffer from challenging skin issues for over a decade, including acne, clogged pores, and uneven texture. Ever since I’ve been going to Venelle for facials, my skin has made a 180, and has vastly improved over the past seven years. I no longer am embarrassed to be makeup free. A real gem of a place, and every single experience is truly a wonderful one.

My sister have been a client of cosmetologist Luba at Venelle Salon&Spa for already two years, and I started doing my facials there a few months ago. Can already see very impressive results, even though for now I only visit Luba once a month. My friends ask me what I do to make my skin look so glory and radiant:)

HORRIBLE! DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY. I went in for a facial to help with dry winter skin and some clogged pores. I was up-sold a peel that was said to take care of my dry skin. Instead, my face became red, inflamed, flaky, dry, and was actually quite painful. Even 10 days out I am still having a difficult time getting my skin back to normal and feeling hydrated. I called them and expressed my concerns and they did nothing to help me. If I could give less than 1 star, I would.

I walked in on a whim and got a deep tissue massage with Nina. Comfortable atmosphere, unscented oil, decent table. The woman at the front desk told me I was lucky with my timing as walk ins aren’t typical.

I went in for a full highlight and haircut a few months ago and they did a great job. The stylist added in some treAtments my hair “needed” and then I get a hefty bill with some discounts for around $350. It’s fine because I hadn’t been to salon in awhile. Then I come back for partial highlights and cut a few months later and I get same bill. I’m not complaining about my hair at all but I wish I knew what I was having to pay upfront. I went in for a facial too and was told that what I wanted was not good for my skin and they gave me a peel...$200. With tips I’ve spent $1000. Be wary of the upsells here and I’d warn customers to argue more about what they are paying for. I’m typically too tired to fight when I come here but I feel like they’ve tagged my file with “sucker”. They’re great and nice staff but make sure you can afford it. I’m going back to Rapunzel for hair and Feel Day for my facials. Much more affordable options in the slope

Favorite place in the neighborhood for massages. 2/3 have been INCREDIBLE and the remaining 1 was on par at least with what else I've experienced. They can do same-day appointments, are attentive to requests about pressure and location, and are so so professional. Can't recommend enough!

Great blow out and friendly service :)

I love this place!! I found it during spa week. I have had a facial with a couple of people here, as well as a haircut and honestly I have had an amazing experience every time! Everyone is super friendly and knowledgable and I always leave feeling happy.

Great experience, we often indulge in couples massages and opted to try this salon during spa week. Excellent deal we enjoyed immensely left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated, we decided to purchase two more sessions for a later date.

It was my first time in that spa and I can say it's very clean, staff is very polite and professional. My friend recommended me to have facial with Lucille as she said that I wouldn't regret it. And that's 100% truth. I had facial with Lucille, I think she is the best and greatest facialist that I've ever tried in general. I have a problematic and sensitive skin(acne),plus I got burn during my vacation. She saved my skin and I really mean it. She is very gentle and knowledgeable. The way she does facial is amazing. My skin looks so healthy and rested now, and that's all thanks to Lucille. She advised me what treatment I should do next and recommended some products to get from skin care she used on me during facial( Eminence) I got probiotic cream and acne hydrator. I have very sensitive skin,so not everything I can put on my skin but as for now my skin seems to be in love with the products that Lucille recommended me. I can't wait to come back for my next session

Second time coming here for couples massage. Both times received a very relaxing and most importantly therapeutic massage. I felt rejuvenated. Nikolai was too notch. Was able to isolate various knots and expertly massages them away.

I'm so lucky I came across Venelle! I had a facial done by Olga and she was amazing! So patient, knowledgeable, informative and even though I was open too it - she didnt push me to purchase any products. The receptionist was also so friendly and helpful even though my appointment ended a little bit after closing.

I had a microdermabrasion done and it was wonderful. I didn't have to wait. As soon as I walked in they were already waiting for me.

The masseuse and estetician are extremely talented, I would recommend this spa to anyone. I enjoyed every moment of my time at VE6 Venelle.

I booked an appointment here, because i saw good reviews. So I tried, and for being my first time all was amazing. All staff was so attentive, and smiley. I went for a curl perm, done by Muni, she was so nice and very patient with my hair. And I loved the results. The atmosphere was great, and the playlist was the best. I’m definitely coming back, for a hair treatment or a facial.?

Always Professional Services when I am here. I was nervous because my waxing lady left....yall all know how that is trying a new person especially getting a Brazilian done. I took a deep breath and Michelle made me feel very comfortable and was a perfectionist at the beautification of my "Special Place". My Body is my temple ???? #ThanksForCaring

I have been to this salon on 3 separate occasions now since June and each time I have been super happy with the service. The first time I did a #selfcare day with a deep cleansing facial, Brazilian wax and massage! All amazing services!!! Yuto is great if you are looking for an awesome massage. The 2nd visit I got a hair cut and blow out and loved it so I decided to go back for color. Today I got a balayage coloring done to my hair and it looks amazing!!! My stylist, Irene, took her time and knew what she was doing. I'm going back to see her in 3 weeks for a Keratin treatment and can't wait! I highly recommend this salon and their friendly staff and owner!!! Update: I just had the keratin treatment done to my hair this past weekend and absolutely love it! Irene did an awesome job. I recommend her for all of you hair care needs. She takes her time and answers all of your questions about the products that she uses!!!

I'd pass by this place everyday didn't occur to me to at least try it to see. Great hair cut and they really listen to you and try to match what you are asking for. Sometime my hair is difficult to cut but she eally did a great job!

I only get men's cuts buy they are fantastic with a good price.

The front desk girls are always in a good mood. I've never gotten my hair done here but 2 out of the 3 chairs are always occupied when I go. I only get my waxes done here. Twice in the downstairs area and once upstairs. The vibe is very calm and it almost feels like your visiting a family members home downstairs. The bathroom is clean with a nice sized mirror inside. I haven't since the same wax tech but both of them were nice and had good knowledge about their service (I always ask questions) they offer a 75$ wax it's supposed to be more gentle and a 50$ wax and products that they add on after your waxes. It's a nice place.

A SHAME TO OWNER OF SALON! VERY BAD SERVICE! NEVER COME BACK AGAIN!

The guy could not even do a fringe trim without making my fiancé' hair look like a blind person botching a Betty page haircut. And she was not going for a Betty page look.

If you go Brazilian, make sure you go to Michelle! She's amazing!

Luba does amazing facials; she is very friendly and professional. She has very gentle hands when it comes to doing facials and massages. Shes a very respectful woman, i come to her all the time and she always listens to me and answers all my questions.I am so satisfied with the treatments she does, shes amazing ! honestly, no one is better than her.I still cant get over the facial she did for me, i feel like i have a brand new face !She cleaned my face better than any cosmetologist in a doctors office. everytime i look in the mirror, i think of her. The atmosphere in the salon is amazing, its very beautiful.Its very clean and organized.Thanks again for having a great salon and a worker like luba.

I went there for a haircut. The ambiance is nice but I wasn't happy with the stylist. I had "tez" for my stylist and she cut my hair too short. I even showed her a picture of my desired length, and asked her to leave it a little longer. Yet she cut it super short. She was nice and friendly, took time to listen but was off the mark when it comes to the length (even when I showed her a picture of the desired length)

Based on other online reviews, I decided to switch to Venelle for my waxing treatment (I get the full monty, if you catch my drift). I'd been going to a well-known place in the West Village, but had been disappointed at feeling like I was part of a factory assembly line so decided to look elsewhere. I'm so glad I switched to Venelle. Michelle is far and beyond the best waxing specialist I have ever seen. She is was incredibly meticulous, and despite the expected amount of pain involved, I actually thought it was one of the most painless waxings I've ever had. I highly endorse her! The waxing rooms are spacious and well-lit (she even uses the type of lights typically seen at the dentist). A really relaxing "spa" soundtrack was playing, which I personally enjoyed. A couple things to note: they don't accept tips on credit cards (this is actually quite common in NYC salons), but do accept them for the services. Be clear to the staff (and yourself) about what you want done - the different waxing "areas" are outlined on their website, so if you want extra areas done (stomach, for example) you should expect to pay a little more. In my opinion, it's worth the extra cost.
