In 2014, the opportunity to open Velvet Lounge arrived unexpectedly, and we embraced it wholeheartedly. Over the past ten years, we’ve poured our hearts into creating a space we were immensely proud of, and we’ve been deeply grateful for the talented individuals who helped bring our vision to life, as well as the wonderful clients who supported us throughout this incredible journey.
Though it is with mixed emotions that we close this chapter, we are excited to pass the torch to a new generation. The time has come for us to move forward, but the memories we’ve made here will always hold a special place in our hearts.
We are thrilled to introduce the new owner of this beloved space, the talented and gracious Lynsee Bartnik. Lynsee is a young, passionate professional, and we are confident that she will bring her own magic to the very same walls that have witnessed so many beautiful moments over the years.
We are also pleased to share that some of our cherished team members, Amanda and Kirsty, will continue to work in the space. We encourage you to reach out to them directly for your bookings—they would love to welcome you into this new chapter at Bartnik’s Barbershop.
While Velvet Lounge may no longer be, the spirit of what we built here lives on. Thank you to everyone who made our journey so memorable. We are deeply grateful for your trust and support.
Here’s to the future, and to all the new memories yet to be made. With love and gratitude, The Velvet Lounge Team
