Keratin Curiosities

November 03, 2019/ Hillary Loves Hair/ Hillary Small

People ask many questions about keratin treatments. What is a keratin treatment? Who do you use? Is it something for me? I thought it would be helpful for my next blog to be all about keratin treatments. I hope this clears up any questions and may be a discovery for a solution to your frizzy hair troubles.

Asheville Lavender & Lace Hair Salon Is Expanding!

March 03, 2019/ Hillary Loves Hair/ Hillary Small

We have some big news! In 2019 we expanded! We have not relocated, it is the same location, just bigger. We just took down some walls and the rest is history! This larger salon will free up the space to have much more room to do our work. More elbow room, an extra color station, a few extra sinks and overall breathing room. I am so excited because this will help with appointment times, overall accommodations for our clients and having all the resources we need. The expansion will offer our clients a more spacious relaxing experience. The mountain views have doubled. After all of this, I must say, that absolutely love the new place!
