Welcome to Wink Salon: Honoring Our Past, Embracing Our Future

For 20 remarkable years, Wink Salon stood proudly in the heart of Biltmore Village, a beacon for beauty, education, and community. From the very beginning, we bootstrapped our way into existence, driven by a mission to create a space that prioritized education and elevated the craft of hairstyling. Our commitment to this mission, to “Create, Educate, Elevate, Love,” shaped everything we did.

Over those two decades, we trained countless stylists, fostered the growth of new salons in Asheville, and proudly held the title of Best of Mountain Xpress for 20 years. Our 22-chair salon was a place of light, warmth, and welcome, where unpretentious staff worked to make each visit memorable. Our 50-week education program underscored our dedication to our industry, equipping emerging stylists with skills and confidence.

On September 27, 2024 however, Hurricane Helene took that beautiful space away, flooding the building and reducing it to its studs. The road to recovery is uncertain, with no clear reopening date for the Biltmore Village location. Yet, even in the face of such loss, Wink Salon’s mission endures.

Today, we are delighted to serve you in a new, more intimate 8-chair salon at Doctors Park, conveniently located near Mission Hospital. Here, our nine talented stylists continue to uphold the same commitment to excellence that defined us in Biltmore Village. While our model may look a bit different for now, our purpose remains steadfast: to offer our clients a space of creativity, learning, and care.

We are so grateful to our clients who have been part of our journey and continue to support us through this new chapter. Thank you for finding us here. We look forward to welcoming you to Wink Salon – a place where resilience, community, and beauty come together.
