I cant say enough about this business. I purchased two very high quality wigs from them. From the minute I walked in the door, I felt like family. They were professional but anything but snobby. When I completed my Cancer treatment, both chemo and radiation, I called to see if they did consignment to help me sell the wigs as I felt I didnt need them anymore. The husband and wife team of owners were incredibly nice and very helpful. I would highly recommend this place to anyone for any services they offer. Although they dont do consignment, she went over and above to help me find the

I almost hired them for my wedding and I'm glad I didn't. Please go get a trial before hiring. They are way over priced for their level of skill.

Absolutely love this place and the people there. If you want a haircut that looks like Moe from The Three stooges go to a barber. If you want to look like Brad Pitt when you walk out, this is the place.

The service, atmosphere, and expertise are second to none! Im always very leary of trying another salon when moving to a new area, but I found my forever stylist. If youre looking for a great stylist that pays close attention to detail and works magic with your hair, Rita will not disappoint!

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is having an event in the area local brides prom anything! I came in to have an updo done for my sister's wedding which was at the Hawkesdene. From the moment I walked in the door I felt extremely welcomed! not only did the owner go out of her way to make sure that my hair wouldn't be frizzy on this very special day but she did an amazing job with my hair! The salon is absolutely beautiful on the inside not at all what I had imagined in my mind whenever I thought I was coming to this small town I never heard of in North Carolina. the staff here

I arrived in Andrews NC 4 years ago, having been born and raised in the Chicago area for my entire life. I moved here for the peace, serenity and beauty which only a small town in the mountains can provide. I was not expecting to replicate an urban lifestyle as it was a great trade off for seeing the stars at night and hearing the birds in the first light of day. I was pleasantly surprised, however, to discover that I didnt have to give up being pampered. El-Khouri Salon and Spa, its extensive services and wonderful staff provide a luxurious personal experience tailored to individual tastes
