Waltham, Massachusetts

Beauty, made everyday.

A small studio doing careful work — manicures, pedicures and hand-painted art, one appointment at a time.

The menu

Prices are starting points — art and length are quoted in the chair.

A slower kind of salon

Velvet & Vine opened with one chair and one conviction: nails done properly can't be rushed. We book fewer appointments, take longer with each one, and never double-park clients.

“We'd rather do six sets beautifully than sixteen sets fast.”

Every tool is sterilized in a hospital-grade autoclave. Every polish is 10-free. Every client leaves with hands they keep looking at on the drive home.

Clean isn't a feature.
It's the floor.

  1. 1 Metal tools are autoclave-sterilized between every client — the same standard as a dental office.
  2. 2 Files and buffers are single-use. Yours goes home with you or in the bin.
  3. 3 Pedicure basins use disposable liners, then get a ten-minute hospital-grade soak anyway.
  4. 4 We're licensed, inspected, and happy to show you the autoclave log. Just ask.

“The first salon where I've never once felt rushed. My gel set lasted five weeks and I got asked about it every single one of them.”

Mariana T.

“I came in with a photo of an oil painting and left with it on my nails. I don't understand it either.”

Devon R.

“Immaculately clean, quiet, and the chair could double as therapy. My standing Sunday appointment is non-negotiable.”
