Our Philosophy

Great hair isn't about the style.
It's about how it makes you feel.

Velvet was founded in 2014 by Diana Reyes, a Vidal Sassoon-trained colorist who believed Boston deserved a salon that treated every client like a long-term relationship, not a transaction. No upselling. No rushed appointments. No stylist who doesn't listen. We're a small team — by design — so every chair is occupied by someone who genuinely cares about your hair and your time.

Client Reviews
What our clients say
★★★★★
"I've been coloring my hair for 15 years and no one has ever gotten my brunette exactly right — until Diana. She actually listened, asked questions, mixed something completely custom. I'm not going anywhere else."
Priya M.
Signature color · Back Bay regular
★★★★★
"Marco has been doing my balayage for three years. It's the one appointment I never reschedule. He's done more for my confidence than any other stylist in my life. Worth every penny."
Jennifer L.
Balayage · South End, Boston
★★★★★
"Sofia did my extensions and they are genuinely undetectable. My coworkers thought I just had a good hair day for two months before I told them. The consultation alone was worth it."
