I've gone here a handful of times to get a Brazilian and sometimes even to get my brows and upper lip waxed. Typically I like to get my brows threaded but they're good at what they do. The last time here, I had Nina do my wax and she was very gentle. She walked me through what she was doing and mentioned she would reapply sunscreen since it was such a sunny day. They offer plenty of other services such as facials, haircuts, and massages. read more

I've been coming here for both facials and massages for a couple of years. All of their estheticians and massage therapists are wonderful. I'm always pleased with both. Laura made my skin so smooth and hydrated. Her neck and shoulder massage was on point. She explained every step and all the products used while taking such care of my skin. She set me up with a good skincare routine. Yuto does excellent deep tissue work and was very attentive to my needs. Best massage I've ever had. read more

Excellent salon. Everyone I had there gave me exactly the cut I described. I generally hate my (dry, frizzy, flat) hair and consider myself hard to please in terms of haircuts, and they have knocked it out of the park every time. I always leave feeling prettier. The vibe is chill. They're professional and pleasant. read more

I have been going to Nina at Venelle for about 6 months now to get regular Brazilian waxes. She is lovely, meticulous, and very professional! I can't recommend her enough! read more

Dmitri has been cutting my hair for eight years. I wouldn't go anywhere else. He always makes me feel great about my hair.

Venelle has been my go-to spa for decades. I cannot recommend highly enough their professionalism, skill and genuinely welcoming atmosphere. Every massage (Yuto) and every facial (Nata) is an experience in luxury and a delight in results. I am 64, and when I emerge from these 'indulge-myself' services, I feel 20 years younger! Book an appointment, you will not be disappointed! read more

Natalie is great at what she does but just beware a balayage is $700 including tip and everything and a dye job doesn't include a hairdry and style which is a bummer. read more

Don't take a risk at this place. They ruined my skin and left the color's sigh all around my face Horrible experience with facial and color. They scratched and damaged my front head. The color was poorly done, he left a sign around al my face because he didn't protect me properly read more

I've been coming to Venelle for years to get my hair highlighted by Natalie and she always does the BEST job!! I'm a natural blonde but as I've gotten older my natural color has started to get darker and a bit dull- Natalie always makes the highlights and color look fresh and super natural, and blends the balayage so well that it grows out without the roots being obvious. 10/10 would highly recommend!! read more

Nina and the crew at Venelle are experts at all things related to looking to your best. I had a facial with microdermabrasion and I came out glowing and received chocolate. What's better than this? Treat your loved one to an wonderful and effective treatment. read more

A neighborhood salon, friendly staff, low key, in Park Slope. I have been going to for years for facials and once I a while for massages. They also do other treatments, hair etc. Recommended read more

I love this place - I've been coming regularly for waxing since 2017 and am yet to have a bad experience. The spa itself is clean but warm and welcoming. I am always able to get a same day appointment so convenience is really off the charts. Upon arrival, I'm brought into a private room within minutes, I've never had to wait long. All their waxers are professional and compassionate about the pain (lol) so I never ask for anyone in particular, though Sabina is excellent. They offer a buy 5 get 1 free deal which is nice. My only note would be you have to tip in cash. They have an ATM in the back but Venmo for tip would be great! read more

Great spa services! I'm here all the time. Always easy to get an appointment and they can often accommodate walk-ins

Wonderful local spa. I've been coming here for about ten years for massages and facials. Sabina and Ella are excellent facialists. Absolutely would recommend! read more

OMG - this place is so good.. without a doubt one of the best salons in the city. Run by the most empathetic, talented, relatable, and skilled estheticians, Venelle is an absolute oasis. The manager is the SWEETEST and goes above and beyond to make sure you always have the best experience. Also - the product lines they carry are AMAZING! I always stock up when I am in for a treatment. Here are my honest reccomendations: FACIALS: Luba is the BEST for facials. I always leave looking like a glowing goddess. HAIR/MAKEUP: I always see Lily and could not be happier - I get so many compliments after I see her. She is so honest and talented at what she does. THAI MASSAGE: Yuto is a magician. Seriously, I felt like a new person after this massage. read more

Been coming here for years ! The best place for facials , they do an amazing job ! I used to dread facials because it would take my skin two days to get the redness and puffiness to go down but Sabina and Luba ( I go to both ) really do such an amazing job that within an hour after your face will look amazing, no redness , no puffiness , nothing ! They take time to analyze your skin type and pick out the best Ingredients, giving you a really personalized experience ! Also all the products they use are organic I also get my waxing done here and love Nufree! If you're like me with sensitive skin and hate the pain of Brazilian waxing , look no further , nufree is the answer ! It adheres to your hairs and not the skin and it makes all the difference ! read more

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! read more

Don't waste your time or money. I would not recommend this salon. Customer service was awful, rude and disrespectful. They do not care about the customer's needs. They are just looking to make money. One of my biggest regrets. I got the worst hair cut in existence from this place. The bleaching was unsatisfactory too. Please do yourself a favor and do the research before you take a chance. You will be happier and richer for it. A very dreadful, atrocious, godawful experience. read more

Lovely experience with Natta, for a sugaring service. The booth was clean and warm and the staff was very nice. I would return

Lovely vibe and service. Had a wonderful massage and facial. Hope to come back again!

Great spa for wax, facial and massage. I would highly recommend. They also do hair !!!!!!!!!!!!

THE MOST HORRIFYING AND TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE YET!!!!..........If I could give this place no stars I would! My friend and I made an appointment for 10 am on a sunday morning, we got there pretty early so we just sat there and waited for the esthetician to arrive. Once she got in and settled she then called on one of us to go in and i decided to go first since i've been there before. I proceeded to follow and get undressed like anyone would normally do for a brazilian wax. I then explained to her to be gentle since my second experience there did not go well and the esthetician at that time had TORN MY SKIN and failed to mention it at the time, however I decided to give them ANOTHER chance. The esthetician started the process and decided to do the opposite of what I kindly asked her to do!!! She was rough nonetheless and TORE MY SKIN IN THREE DIFFERENT AREAS and failed to tell me at the moment it was happening, after a while when I felt that my skin was irritated she agreed and I immediately asked for a mirror, she pulled the mirror out and placed it where i'd be able to see, and to my horror she had pulled my skin off on my left side where my bikini line is.......she proceeded to clean it and add an antiseptic spray but wanted to continue clearing out the other stragglers. By this point I was pretty upset and declined any further services and explained to her that this was the second time this has happened and that I had asked her from the be beginning to be gentle. The esthetician began to blame me for not letting her know where my skin was torn off the second time I was there, which wouldn't even matter because I haven't been there in over a year or two since I was still pretty much traumatized from the second experience, my skin was already completely healed by the time this visit was happening. After going back and forth I got dressed and she left the room to call the receptionist, the receptionist then came down and asked what was wrong and I proceeded to explain the issue and even showed her a picture, I asked her if she'd be ok with the service if it were her in which she said "no". The esthetician was still trying to get me to lay down to treat it while I was explaining to the receptionist what happened, I declined any further services to which the receptionist kindly told the esthetician no and I ran out of there with my friend hyperventilating and crying (no my friend did not get any services from them). Luckily enough I work at a medical facility and I ran to them to ask them for advice on how I can treat it since i'm traveling out of state next week. Needless to say I got home after the horrible experience and realize she had torn off skin in two other areas where my stomach was aside from the one I already had on the bikini area. Thank you vanelle spa for the horrible experience. SN: I have placed pictures of the two additional scars I received. read more

Had an out of this world deep cleansing facial with Luba. She has gentle hands and did a great job cleaning pores. So many times the facial is too quick. Luba used her expertise to make my face glow. Plus I recommend Yuto for massage! The receptionist is extremely helpful and delightful to work with. Will return and return! read more

I came in this past weekend to use a Massage Week gift card that I've had for years, but for whatever reason had never used. I searched online for participating salons, and decided to come to Venelle because of the positive reviews and proximity to my apartment. I have to say that the experience overall was quite good from beginning to end. I called to make an appointment for a massage and they were able to take me on the following Sunday with short notice at the time I requested. When I arrived, I was met with a very pleasant receptionist who checked me in for my appointment. I then learned I'd be working with Yuto for my massage that day. When I booked the appointment, I had no preference with regard to man or woman therapist. My only priorities were to book a deep tissue massage as opposed to Swedish, and to work with someone who was strong and highly skilled. I have to say that Yuto was calm, professional, and definitely provided the long overdue, relaxing, deep massage I was hoping for. Overall, I would likely come back here. It's a great neighborhood spot, and the prices are reasonable, even without a gift card. Definitely recommend! read more

Natalie is terrific - I highly recommend this salon - every is friendly - they are open 7 days a week and Natalie is a true pro - she listens and cares about her work!!! I am really glad I found this gem of a salon in Park Slope. Thanks for all you do read more

3.5 stars. This place is fine, not great, not bad at all. The massage was good (4 stars), the facial was good (4 stars), the spa area is outdated with very thin walls - you feel more like you're in someone's basement then at a spa (2 stars), but seems clean enough. My issue is with the checkout process. The first time I went, I had a Spa Week gift card - they could not figure out how to redeem it, so I just paid out of pocket and left. The second time I made sure to mention it will booking the "spa package" of a facial + massage (marketed on their website as a package, not a special). When I went to pay they charged me much more than the website quoted. I asked why and they said I can't combine a gift card with a "special". Nowhere on their packages does it say this. It was also not mentioned during the booking process at all. It was very poor communication. I wouldn't return for this reason. My recommendation to this place would be to have better customer service with clearer communication. Also some spa music or white noise would help (you can literally hear the convos upstairs) and some diffusers with essential oils to help with the ambiance. read more

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 full service spa & 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 your hair care needs. She takes her time and answers all of your questions about the products that she uses. What I appreciate the most is her honesty. If something won't work or is not good for your hair, she will tell you! read more

I have been coming to Venelle for years and I have never been disappointed. Today was no exception, Nina was attentive and just want the doctor ordered! Since COVID and having two children during this time, I have not been able to take care of my skin asbefore. But when I left Venelle you couldn't tell at all! I feel like the old me! read more

I have mixed reviews about this place. It's not amazing and it's not that bad. I made use of Spa week and came for a facial. I forgot the name of the person who did my facial. She was super nice like too nice. Anyway, the room that I was in was clean and the ambience was calm. What I didnt like about the place was the woman who did my facial asked me if I had any questions so I asked her "what does this facial involve" I basically wanted to know what my face is getting itself into and she responds to me as if I'm some dumb, ignorant person "Oh dear, have you never had a facial before and explains the process". She now assumes I've never had a facial. I warn her that I have super sensitive skin and I go red and swollen quickly. She tells me that's a common reaction to everyone. This is when I wanted to run out of the place. I've had facials before where my skin looked like I got punched by 20 wrestlers at once post facial. I once had this facial where my skin broke out so bad that it took 6 months and 3 visits to the dermatologist to fix it. So yes, I'm cautious about what's done to my face and the aestician shouldve taken my concern into account. Anyway, the facial was okay. I was pissed that she put no mask after extraction. The mask helps calm my skin and reduce my skin from getting swollen. Further they charged me $15 in addition to the $50 (spa week) for extraction. The facial was just $85 without the spa week offer. I felt like they were ripping me off. Thankfully, my face wasnt too bad and it healed in 4 days with a few breakouts. I wont be going back to this place though I really wanted this to work out since they are in Brooklyn and close to me. I guess I'll continue going to my elite level spa in Manhattan who though a little pricier than here provide very good service. read more

I'd give ZERO STARS if I could! I scheduled a massage+facial for my husband and I this weekend. The massage was fine. Then, I had my facial with Michelle. At first, she seemed to be in a hurry, and I wondered if she would give my 45min facial or would finish before that. She did give me the full 45min, so I could say the 1 star is for that. I usually have facials once a month, and I have tried several places in the city, so I actually know what to expect from a facial. While I do not think it was a facial, I agree the products they used are good products. However, my biggest problems with the facial were: 1. The lady was in a hurry and I couldn't relax, with the impression I was bothering her. 2. She was loud and sloppy. She would turn the faucet on (to wash hand and utensils, I suppose) as if she were in her kitchen. My previous experiences are NO FAUCETS RUNNING whatsoever, but I do usually hear some splashes once in a while, which I believed to be the person washing everything in a quiet manner. Also, she kept bumping in the bed, and at some point pushed the bed a few inches. Not harmful, but, not a relaxing experience. 3. The "strawberry facial" is actually a facial massage. She kept massaging my face, head, shoulders, arms and hands. It SEEMS nice, but, she would put cream after cream, *and bring her hands greased with cream back to my hair!* I felt the cream in my hair, then my hair started to get (feel) wet and greasy. I also felt my face really greasy. The feeling was as if someone had give me a massage with hair conditioner, and left a think layer of conditioner in my face, which eventually started to dry out. 4. SHE KEPT BRINGING THE CREAMS TO MY HAIR! I left the salon with a horrible greasy hair. She kept resting her (with moisturizer) in my forehead and hair, also massaging the back of my head with the moisturized hand. My hair was greasy up to about 2-3inches from my face and neck. I had NEVER experienced something like that. When I left, I talked to the person in the front, explained everything to her. She said "sorry" (which was nice) and charged my $340 for the entire service. I was going to PrettyPlease ($120) to have my monthly 60min facials, but was hoping to find a nice please near home. For the $72.50 I paid at Venelle for a 45min, I'd expect WAAAAY more. I'm NEVER coming back. Which is a shame, because they're 5min from home and the massage was nice. read more

This is a great place for summer waxing, ladies (and gentleman!). It's the best bang for your buck at $56 for a Brazilian. Dana is super nice, funny and thorough.

I just had the BEST experience at this salon, booked a haircut and keratin treatmnet with Natalie and I couldn't be happier with the experience and the results.

She nailed the cut, the length and shape! 10 stars! read more

I had a haircut here that I was not fully satisfied with. When the owner heard that I was unsatisfied she contacted me personally to apologize. She then put me in contact with the manager of the salon who was very kind and understanding. He listened to my complaint and offered to recut my hair and refund my money. While I may not have been satisfied with my cut from the stylist that I worked with I was very impressed with the high level of customer service. The owner and manager went above and beyond to be sure that my dissatisfaction was resolved, and it was. read more

I have gotten many good haircuts at Venelle, but do not come here for color. On two separate occasions with two separate stylists (Sammy and Dimitri) I asked for an ashy blonde and left with brassy/orange hair. This last time, Dimitri looked at my reference picture and said "no problem," but the result looks absolutely nothing like what I asked for; the color is extremely brassy and the highlights are chunky. He recommended a purple shampoo to lift the color to where I want it, and charged me the whole job plus the cost of the shampoo. The salon did call back to offer their sincere apologies and for me to have a complimentary color correction with a stylist more proficient in color, however I elected to go to another salon for the correction. Moral of the story: Be very clear when booking that you want a color expert. read more

The esthetician was nice and welcoming. Room was really small with thin walls...even w/ music on I heard what's going on outside. My treatment was microdermabrasion - was good, pretty thorough. The room had a chill b/c the ceiling fan was on high but esthetician was kind enough to turn it put it on low when asked, but then she got hot and opened the door slightly :-/,. Products were good though - Essence, which I've used in the past and one of the reasons I decided to give Venelle a shot. What I did not like is the esthetician using everything cold to either wipe my face, remove product etc. I am aware that cold water closes pores, however, hot/warm towels should've been used and then at the end, cold could've been used. When I brought it up, she said I should've told her. I thought hot/cold was common knowledge and I'm far from a spa/facial virgin. Anyway, doubt I'll return. read more

I would Really like to give 4.5 stars- I had 60 Min Sugar body scrub + 60 min Swedish massage with Yuto. The Staff was extremely welcoming, friendly and professional. My services I had were excellent, I walked out of there feeling like a limp noodle :D My only reason for not 5 stars is that the walls are very thin. You can hear hallway noise, and any laughing, or loud talking. It kills the zen mood a little. I went on my Birthday, and they gave me a discount and a glass of prosecco. I would def recommend, but just be aware that its not totally silent the whole time. read more
