The Stylist

A decade of making people feel beautiful.

Velvet Hair Studio was founded by Elena Reyes with a simple belief: your hair appointment should feel like an experience, not an errand. After training in Los Angeles and New York, Elena brought her editorial sensibility home to San Diego, opening Velvet in the heart of Hillcrest.

"I don't do trends. I do you — the best version of you."

Elena Reyes, Founder & Lead Stylist
