WOW! I cannot say enough good things about this salon! It is warm and welcoming! I was offered a coffee the minute I walked through the doors and treat with friendly smiles and kindness! It is a gorgeous salon! It was my first time to the salon and Michelle! What a fabulous experience! Michelle was very sweet and understood immediately what I was looking for in high lights and cut! I am so happy with the results! I highly recommend Michelle! read more

Got an appointment the week I called. Salon was very clean and relaxing. Teri was friendly, asked what I needed some and got to work. Very happy with my results and I will be back. read more

I had an amazing experience with Steven Turner. I don't think he was expecting to have to do so much work on my hair, because I didn't know what I wanted was balayage, but he did an amazing job, was super patient, and had a great attitude about it. The salon itself was very clean and beautifully decorated. It is styled in comforting colors. The other stylists in the salon were all friendly and welcoming. I'd definitely recommend Simply Gorgeous. read more

See all

I echo everything that Lori W. said. I thought at first when i read her post thought it was mine! I had to re- read it! She could have written my eval! :) First of all, Jini was amazing. I agree, she listened to my wants/needs and then provided her professional expertise. She EXPLAINED everything, the "whys and hows," so that I could better explain the process. She did full highlights. It was my first time ever after coloring my own hair for over 20 years. It was so well done. Others have verified same. No one can believe the super job she did and ask me ALL the time, "Who did your hair?!" I went in ready to "go gray" with total head highlights and Jini made it happen! I also found her thru Groupon. So glad I did! I am so delighted, I am speechless! Jini is my new hairstylist, with pleasure! read more

The salon is very clean and comfortable. Gail is dedicated to listening to her clients and talking through different ideas to ensure that the client is happy and confident. read more

I love this place !! Kelly Maxwell is unbelievable and amazing. I love love love how she does my hair. The place is also super cute and everyone who works there is very nice. If you are looking for a place to get your hair cut and colored , simply gorgeous is it ! You won't be disappointed read more

Great haircut and styling with Jini. She understood what I wanted and what my hair needed.

I took my 85 father here for a haircut with Steven. Steven was not wearing a mask when we arrived. I explained that my father was in Chemo treatments and was very high risk. I asked Steven to put on a Mask while cutting my fathers hair. Steven refused. I explained that I could not allow him to cut my father's hair unless he would put a mask on. Steven curtly responded "fine" and walked off. This was not only poor customer service and unprofessional conduct but against North Carolina state recommendations at the time. read more

Even though I loved how they did my make-up and hair, this review will be about the outstanding job they did with my mom! She has very fine hair therefore styling it is a nightmare. The up-do they did on her made her hair look like a lion's mane! She even said that they had worked a miracle on her hair! After looking through our wedding pictures, I can't help but smile on the fantastic job they did on everybody's hair and make-up :) read more

It have had 3 color revisions in the last month after the initial visit to this salon. My stylist didn't have a clue what she was doing . Another stylist had to step in to help. It was too far in for her to be able to be helpful. There was no charge, imagine that. read more

Tucked away in an unassuming strip mall on Airport Road, Simply Gorgeous is aptly named. As a New Yorker, I am difficult to impress, but this salon boasts quality service in a refined interior setting. Just walk through the door and you'll leave the flavorless commerce of Arden in the dust. The tasteful and lovely decor boasts columns uniquely carved with profiles of women, crystal chandeliers, creatively designed mirror art, and photographs of classic beauties like Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe. The service is as luxurious as the name alludes, and my stylist (Trey Warner) now has a new client to add to his roster! read more

I purchased a groupon for a 60 minute massage with Barbara Guge at Simply Gorgeous as a gift to my daughter. This would have been her first massage, and was something she had been looking forward to for a long time. Upon calling to schedule, I was directed by voicemail to send a text if her voicemail was full. After sending a text asking to schedule an appointment, I received a curt response to "get refund." I am very upset by the lack of customer service, as a simple phone call explaining that perhaps more Groupons were issued then can be handled by this individual, or apologizing for any inconvenience. I think this is a very poor way to handle this situation, and I will certainly never consider Simply Gorgeous Salon nor make any suggestion that any of our friends and/or family pay patronage to that business. If you are going to issue Groupons for massages with your salon's name on it, then you need to ensure that you can uphold the terms of the purchase and hold your staff accountable for honoring what they have offered. I find this entire situation reprehensible. read more

If I could give the salon a 10 star rating, I would. Missy was my stylist and I am new in town. She was extremely patient during my consultation, made sure she understood what I wanted and my cut and color turned out amazing. Nonstop compliments, even from strangers. I am thrilled that I found such a great place. read more

Jini really listened to my request & did everything (& more) to make it happen! She is so personable & professional, very precise in her color application - she did an AMAZING job on my highlights/lowlights - blends perfectly! Jini is truly a hair color "Artist"! I am so happy to have been introduced to her through Groupon & I look forward to my next appointment with my new hairdresser "Jini"!:) read more

I called around noon on a Saturday hoping I could get a very last minute appointment before a 3:30pm wedding the same day. Trey was so nice and polite and made it seem like no problem at all to get me in. I showed him a picture of the up-do I liked and he listened and offered advice as I told him what I liked and disliked. He used his skills to make it work with my fine hair and was so nice and pleasant to talk with the whole time. I would definitely go back if I were local to the area! read more

Missy did an amazing job on my haircut! I've never liked my hair short (ever) and Missy gave me a long bob, stacked in the back and I absolutely love it! During our consultation, she listened to my hair concerns, offered suggestions and made me feel at ease in her chair. I have had numerous compliments on my hair over the last two days! All the other stylists seemed really nice and their clients at the time seemed very happy with the service they were receiving. read more

So glad to find this place. Elegance & nice, competent people, make this a great salon. My new go-to salon in Asheville!

Trey Warner was fabulous. When he took his scissors out it reminded me of my son who is a chef with his knives. An artist takes their instruments very seriously! Also, a great eyebrow practitioner. read more

I asked a coworker with gorgeous hair where she gets her color done and she recommended Steven. He did an incredible job with my all over color, highlights and cut. I already made my next appointment! Thanks Steven! read more

I am not very happy with the service I received this week. I will say I believe it was my stylist and not the collective salon that made my experience a bad one. The other stylists seemed very nice and clients happy. But, I was made to feel like I was an inconvenience as my stylist had booked her clients back to back. I left with sopping wet and yellowish- straw hair, which of course I didn't find out how bad it actually looked until I got home and styled it myself. It was an expensive mistake to go to her and I won't be going back. read more

I went to this salon last week after a friend recommended it. I'm not one to usually write reviews but I have to say I have received more compliments on my hair than I ever have! Ted did any amazing job on my highlights. I would recommend him or this salon to anyone! I'm definitely coming back! read more

Jini rescheduled for later 20 min prior to appt and then was still late. Rude to me from the moment she got there. Argued with me over my opinions on highlight color, stating she knew more than me. Double booked appts with her own family member so rushed through the appt not speaking to me except to tell me how broken my hair was (when I didn't respond she hollered "did you hear me?!" Like I was a child in trouble) as she ripped it out and hit me in the head everytime she put a foil in. When done told me to get up and sit anywhere and then changed to a friendly manner to greet her family member. She ordered the other staff to go next door multiple times to order her food or drinks. The appt took 3 hours in which I was completely ignored by her. Other staff tried to talk to me because she was so rude. Expect to be up-charged $20 with no explanation. Once she received the review of her services she emailed me hateful and threatening. I would recommend other stylists at this salon but would never see Jini or recommend her to anyone. read more

This experience reminded me why I don't go to hair salons often. Don't go to Steven Turner. He seemed in a terrible mood the whole time and was clearly in a rush to be done with my hair and leave. He ended up cutting 2+ inches more than I told him to and my hair ended up looking nothing like I wanted(or showed him pictures of). After I left, I still had hair all over my shirt, neck, and face. I wish there was an option to give them 0 stars. read more

Thank you Tommy for helping me love my hair again. I had been stuck in the same style and dark color for about 20 years. I needed a change and you took me there! You gave me highlights and an actual style and I am not afraid to wear my hair down anymore. Thank you so much for helping me feel good about the way I look again, you are amazing! The salon is so lovely, everyone there is so lively and upbeat. I love coming in and seeing everyone. Thank you Simply Gorgeous, and Thank You Tommy S!! I would have given you 6 stars if it had let me. read more

I recently bought a coupon for this place, and I used it. Well I am not happy.. My hair isn't at all what I wanted it too be. I had a cut, and highlights. I feel I got frosted, and I was left a line on one side on my head(the lighter side) . I am chunky on one side, and lighter on the other side. uneven.I wish I had seen it while I was there, but the lighting there wasn't as good as it is at my job.My associate, and cousin brought it to my attention.( I hadn't had a hair cut in 8 months due to a bad cut elsewhere). I did call, and was told that it would be taken care of. I do hope so. I would love to give them a chance. The person who cut, and highlighted my hair seemed nice.I will update later when I get it taken care of. read more

I went with my husband to get a military cut, which he gets every Sunday per usual. They have a special on Sundays and its close to our house so we decided to try it out. The first time we went in the two girls were surprised he asked for a high-reg. They even noted that they don't get asked for that very often. That became obvious when we left and his cut looked more like a medium-reg. He went back the next week and when he came home I immediately mentioned that his cut still looked like a medium-reg and it wasn't very short. It looked like what his hair looks like 3-4 days past a fresh cut. Well his Sergeant noticed too and on Tuesday he got chewed out and made to go get a new cut during his lunch hour. He was ordered to NEVER go back there. read more
