OUR TEAM

WELCOME TO VENOM & VELVET 💛 We are an alternative, appointment based salon located in Downtown Charleston, West Virginia. We specialize in hand painted art, funky expression, and provide luxury level manicure, pedicure, esthetics(coming soon), and hair(coming soon) services. Our focus is providing a form of artistic expression to our clientele, that is unique to their individuality, in addition to providing a safe haven that we pride ourselves in. We value our clientele and customer experience as much as we value our craft here at Venom & Velvet. We do not currently have a “no children” or “no extra guests” policy, however please use your best judgement. If the littles are unable to entertain themselves for a period of time, or are at risk of being harmed due to equipment and chemicals, please keep them safe and at home. This applies to extra guests, as well. We are an intimate salon space and require privacy. All technicians are independent. Please reach out if you have specific questions for your particular artist or technician. For appointments outside regular hours, please reach out to see if there is any outside availability. These are considered after hours appointments and have a $50 convenience fee. Cancellation and late policies are located below. For any questions on policies, or what to book, please do not hesitate to reach out. We can’t wait to meet you!

Hi everyone! Welcome to my safe space! I am originally from NJ, and moved to WV in September 2022! I was brought out here for my expertise in the nail industry, and now I’m bringing that to Downtown Charleston. I am currently at the end of my journey to pursue my instructors license here, as well. So stay tuned for so much more education! I can’t wait to meet you!
