    Despite what someone else commented, I have always had the best experience with Casi and Eclipse! I have been going to Casi for years now and have never had one bad experience. In fact I get more compliments... « less

    Casi has consistently been giving me the best haircuts I've ever gotten. She's skilled, attentive to what I want, and has a very good sense of what to do to make me look good (which is a real challenge...). She's also very personable, smart and well-informed - we have great conversations while she's working her miracles.

    Just really really great. I recently moved to Asheville from Chicago. Always a little nerve-wracking to find a new hair stylist, but thanks to Yelp, I tried Eclipse. Booked online (so nice) and made appointment with Casi. Possibly the best haircut I've ever had. She listened to what I liked and didn't like about my style at the time. She did what I wanted but even better than I could have imagined. I'm just so pleased. The price was great for such a quality cut. The salon is really nice and the staff were all friendly and professional. Great location downtown. I'm so glad I found Casi and Eclipse.

    Was in town for a wedding. Needed a blow out and style. Casi took care of me. Very friendly place throughout. Welcoming , caring and very personable. I would recommend this place to anyone. Prices are average.
    Yes I would go back.

    Loved my shampoo, head and neck massage, (bliss) cut and blow dry by Casi. I told her I was sensitive to odors and she let me smell every product before she applied it. Although my hair is very curly, I wanted it styled straight with a slight under curve at the ends. She listened and gave me what I wanted. I got my eyebrows waxed for the first time. Looks great. Convenient to downtown parking and shopping before or after appointment.

    I moved to Asheville from San Francisco three years ago and was apprehensive about finding a new salon. A friend literally walked me into Eclipse and insisted that I see Casi as she has a stellar reputation as a consummate stylist. I was immediately comfortable and very, very happy with my cut, the ambience/vibe of the salon, and especially Casi. She is every bit sweet, charming, poised, and skilled and well-deserving of her reputation as an elite stylist at a classy but not fussy salon. Eclipse is wonderful and Casi is amazing and I shudder to think why anyone would write a negative review. We had a brutal winter and businesses in Asheville were shut-down for a few days before Christmas. Casi opened the salon on the Sunday after the blizzard so we could look our best for the holidays which proves her commitment and personal regard for her clients. If you are looking for a comfortable yet highly professional salon experience in Asheville, you can’t do better than Eclipse. I would recommend Casi but it’s hard enough getting an appointment with her as it is!
