As a women-owned salon, we believe you deserve transparency, thoughtful care, and an experience that feels elevated without ever feeling intimidating. We use high-performance products chosen for long-term hair health, and we actually explain what your hair needs so you can love it not just when you leave, but every day after.

From Biltmore Village To Doctors Park
Since opening in 2005, Wink Salon Asheville has regularly been named one of the best hair salons in Asheville, with Mountain Xpress Best of Asheville honors year after year. Our original 22-chair space in Biltmore Village was a bright, busy hub for creativity, education, and community.
On September 27, 2024, Hurricane Helene flooded that space and stripped the building to its studs. The timeline for that location is still unknown, but Wink did not stop.
Today, we work from a focused eight-chair salon at Doctors Park near Mission Hospital.
Our stylists show up every day to create modern, wearable hair that fits real life , and to teach you how to keep it that way.
We believe education elevates everything: our craft, our guests, and the community we’re part of.
Our Mission:
CREATE. EDUCATE. ELEVATE. LOVE.
Everything we do flows from this.
