"The best hairstylist I’ve ever experienced. Very smart and does her best to not only give you your dream hair, but keep it healthy at the same time while using the best products. The new location is beautiful, but I would also see Marla even if she was working out of the parking lot. Her assistant Brynlynn is also amazing. HIGHLY recommend."
"I spent several years searching for a blonde specialist in Asheville and by the time I found Marla, my hair was over processed and brassy and I had honestly given up hope! She was the first stylist to listen to my request to NOT have a statement piece and the transformation in color AND health that she worked on my hair in just my first appointment absolutely blew me away. Blonde is so hard to get right and Marla excels at what she does. Plus, she is super sweet so spending time in her chair is a pleasure! She is the best: 10 out of 5 stars."
"Amazing service! Marla is the first person I’ve found in this area to get my blonde hair right. Won’t go to anyone else now :) highly recommend her!"
"Marla works absolute magic! From making my blonde dreams a reality to patiently answering all my styling questions, she's exceptional. If you're after the perfect stylist who combines skill with a dream of an experience, Marla is the best!"
"Marla is the best stylist I’ve ever worked with! She is incredibly talented and I always walk away from the salon feeling my best, most confident self after seeing her. Cannot recommend enough, she is the best! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
"Marla does the best blonde in all of Western NC! I can tell her to do whatever she wants to my hair and it always ends up looking perfect. Marla is a very talented stylist and makes me feel so comfortable as her client. She’s always on time and has never canceled an appointment with me. I’m so glad I finally found a stylist that I gel with and who provides consistent outstanding quality at each and every appointment. The salon is beautiful and has plenty of free parking."
