Nicole Franklin is the best hairstylist! She’s taken me blonde, brown, and all the colors of the rainbow. She’s given me beautiful long layers and funky short cuts. She’s a true artist that understands classic, current, and eclectic looks. I’ve never felt more confident than I do after getting my hair done by Nicole!

I have been a client at Leau de Vie for 5+ years. My stylist, Amanda, is top notch, and the salon is always neat, clean and bright. Everyone has always gone out of their way to be friendly; to say “hello”; and to ask if they can assist me in any way. Amanda takes great care with cutting my (admittedly difficult) bi-racial hair. Brian, at the Reception desk, is kind, warm, and unflappable. I highly recommend Leau de Vie and have sent several clients their way.Services: Shampoo & conditioning

Filthy! I can't believe the level of dirt and crud around the make-up area, the retail area, and the shelves where they leave the product for the stylists to use. I was bored waiting for my color to process and wrote my name in it. It makes me wonder about the sanitation in the rest of the salon. The atmosphere is very tense in there, too, the stylists don't seem happy. I was a customer for almost a year because of a great stylist there but she is gone now. Not enough Aveda salons in our area!Services: Shampoo & conditioning

I’ve been getting my hair done by Nova since March of 2021. Nova is the best hairstylist I’ve ever gone to and is a true master of her talent! She colors my roots, hi-lights, cuts and styles my hair perfectly every time! Anyone who trusts Nova to do their hair will not be disappointed!Services: Haircut

I found this salon based after research best wedding salons in Asheville. I was so impressed by their level of professionalism and skills. I worked with Taylor and Nicole or makeup and hair. I am Indian with a darker skin tone and make up artists often have trouble finding the right foundation but Taylor knew exactly what she was doing. I shared photos of what I did not like plus what I did like from my indian wedding makeup back home. It wanted something similar (natural looking) but tailored to a day event and that is exactly what I got. Taylor took her time and even asked for my mom's opinion which I thought was so sweet and inclusive. Nicole took my not great explanation of what I wanted done with my hair and did the perfect job! I felt so beautiful and everything turned out exactly how i pictured it. I trusted nicole so much that I even went back for a post wedding hair cut. Let me point out how excellent she is with cutting wavy hair! For the first time, someone cut the layers in my hair dry (which is how it is suppose to be done!). This salon was so chill. All my bridesmaids and moms had their make up done too. We were able to order some food there as needed and everything was done timely. These people are amazing and i will 100% be going back :) check out the amazing job they did on my entire bridal party including a fantastic hair cut for my man of honour (photo attached)!Services: Makeup services

I recently moved here from Charlotte and decided to try L'eau de Vie as my new salon because I have always used Aveda. I called and asked specifically if there was someone who specializes in curly hair. I was assured there was so I asked for an appointment and was very clear that I wanted a cut and a full head balayage. To my surprise the receptionist offered me an appointment the very next day and I assumed there must have been a cancellation for there to be that much time available. When I arrived for my appointment with Joseph it immediately became clear that he in no way shape or form specializes in curly hair. Not only that but he was super confused when I said I was there for a cut and color because we only had an hour. I realized then that the receptionist hadn't listened to a word I said and just gave me the next available appointment with the next available stylist. Joseph washed and cut my hair and then TOWEL DRIED IT. He did not wet it, he did not squish it, he literally did not attempt to even discover what my natural curl pattern was. If he had he would have seen immediately that my hair curls towards my face not away from it. Instead he "finger styled" it trying to force the curls away from my face and when it fell limp he just left it like that! He diffused for about 4 minutes and then rushed me out of the chair. I was there about 45 minutes total and left with my hair still wet in the back and underneath. There was so much goopy product in it that when it finally dried it could not even be combed. As you can see from the photos the result was horrific and humiliating. I am absolutely disgusted that he would let me leave the salon looking like this without an offer to rewash and make things right. The receptionist also should have intervened but she did not even bother to ask me, as a new client, how my service was. I assume that was because she could clearly see it was a catastrophe. I was not rude or dramatic and said nothing, just paid and left. I've even given it a couple of months before writing this review to make sure my anger is justified. They actually took my money for this and clearly couldn't have cared less about my hair, how I looked or whether I felt good. Zero stars, I wouldn't let my worst enemy go here.I've included photos of this service and a photo of how my hair normally looks when styled by myself or a competent stylist.

I was able to get in the same day within an hour of calling, and could not believe they worked me in for a haircut and blowout. Joseph did an amazing job!! He was very professional and kind, and really listened to what I wanted. The results exceeded my expectations!!! What a great experience!The Aveda products are awesome & smell of earthy plant essence, and I love that they are plant based and cruelty free. My hair looks so much healthier and I can tell a huge difference in the look and feel of my hair after using the bond building styling cream. Worth every penny! I highly recommend this salon!Thank you Joseph! Service is everything to me!! The atmosphere is great too. 5 Stars!Services: Shampoo & conditioning

I really wish I could comment on the ability to do hair at this salon, but after being rescheduled THREE TIMES for a hair cut, I just really am at a loss. A haircut take less than an hour, people. Get it together.

Curled the bride's hair and it was flat within 15 minutes of leaving. Bride in tears. Light hair spray was used on hair and the bride asked stylist to use smaller barrel as her curls would stay better. But only 1 larger barrel was available. No way hair should have fallen that fast. We went back to the hotel and her friend recurled her hair no problem. Thank goodness for amazing friends!
