Hair by Abby Jay

I was originally paired up with Abby Jay by the stylist I had been seeing. She was going on an indefinite maternity leave and thought Abby was the perfect choice for my mid-back to waist length, very thick, straight and wavy mixed hair. She was 100% correct. My hair can be tricky with the different textures, but Abby nailed it every time. When a few years ago she decided to venture out and open her own studio, I readily followed and have had zero regrets. The comfort level Abby created in her studio is perfection.

Abby Jay, owner of Bespoke AVL, has created a funky, welcoming salon that always feels like stepping into a friend’s space. But it’s her expertise with hair that keeps me coming back. I have straight hair that can get heavy, and Abby knows exactly how to keep it tamed—cutting it both wet and dry makes all the difference. She nails my color, cut, and blow dry every time. While I was there recently, a woman with very curly hair left with an incredible head of spectacular curls—proof that Abby’s talent spans every hair type. Her many long-time clients, both men and women, stay loyal because of her skill and her wonderfully warm personality. Bespoke AVL isn’t just a salon—it’s a little slice of Asheville creativity, guided by one truly talented stylist.

Abby is the only hairstylist who can actually tame my curly hair!. I have been going to Abby for probably 7 - 8 years now and I am never disappointed. And she’s a great colorist as well. I love her and highly recommend especially if you have unruly curly hair. She’s your gal!

Abby is an absolute hoot and very experienced. I always enjoy getting my haircut and I believe she’s the best in town!!

I have curly hair and am very cautious about trying someone new. I went to Abby after seeing a recommendation in a local Facebook group and left with the best haircut I’ve ever had. Literally. I got curly bangs for the first time and I’ll never go back! On top of the amazing haircut, the whole vibe of her business is so chill, cozy, natural, and caring. AND affordable. If you have curly hair and are looking for a new hair stylist, trust me - you need to go here! Thank you, Abby!! See you in a few months ❤️
