The Velvet Rope Hair Studio - Bellingham (WA)

5 /5 Mariah Ashlyn Elkes: The process of going back to long hair from short sucks. Mine had been stuck in the awkward, Lord Farquaad stage of that process for longer than I anticipated, and it was really dragging me down. I figured Id come in and get it reshapen enough so that I could live with it for the time being. But, Marlene worked nothing less than straight up magic - I LOVE my new hair! Besides doing an incredible job, she was very approachable, fun to talk to, and made sure I was comfortable in every step of the process. Ill definitely be coming back and recommending to others!

5 /5 Aurora Nazario: I went here after not having been to a salon since I was a teenager and had a bad experience. I was super nervous and anxious. I saw Marlene. The second she opened the door I felt relaxed around her, she is so absolutely kind and gentle!! My hair looks and feels better than it has in YEARS!! I had a wonderful time, and was surprised as the cost. Much much cheaper than I was expecting. I will, without a doubt, be going back to this place, when it’s time to get my hair touched up. 100/10.

5 /5 Rachael Hope: My 13 year old very shy kiddo got a haircut from Marlene last weekend and it was a great experience. Marlene was kind and gentle, and did a much-needed scalp treatment as well. The price was very affordable, and I will definitely be returning. The atmosphere is also beautiful, so much good art.

5 /5 Stella: I got my haircut with Marlene and it was a wonderful experience! I had no idea what I wanted to do with my hair, and she was so patient and helpful. I got several compliments on the cut and was happy to highly suggest Marlene.

5 /5 Talya Sanger: Marlene did a lovely job on my wavy curly hair today! She kindly worked with my specific requests and I’m really happy with how full and layered my hair turned out! Thank you for the new cut :)
