On May 11th, Billy ventured out to Boundary Bay Brewery to watch Gail Pettis sing her heart out. Gail sings some wonderful, upbeat, and soulful jazz that is enough to move any listener.
Don’t be surprised if you hear her music the next time that you come visit us at the salon!

Each Monday, Billy volunteers with the Bellingham Food Bank Farm in Bellingham starting at 9AM.
Being able to out of the salon and hands out of hair and into the field with hand covered in dirt allow for a similar, yet differnet reward in working with one’s hands.
Learning how to plant, fertilize, water, and care for plants that will eventually be providing some much needed and fresh produce for anyone who accesses the Bellingham Food Bank is a reward in itself.
We invite you to join us in volunteering or, if you are growing your own produce, plant an extra plant and donate the produce from it to the Bellingham Food Bank. Together we can help end hunger in our community!

Join the Impact
Recently, The Velvet Rope Hair Studio was featured on a full page spread in the Bellingham Herald for our involvement with Big Hair Bingo, sponsored by the Evergreen AIDS Foundation.
Billy, Eva, and Sandra took to styling people’s hair to get maximum volume while they played bingo, bought raffel tickets, and consumed food for which all proceeds were able to benefit the Evergreen AIDS Foundation and our local community.
Please feel free to click here and read the article, look at the pictures, and watch the video on the Bellingham Herald’s website.
