Rachel took her time and listened attentively to what I wanted. Talked me through the process and gave me great advice. Very compassionate with her work. Highly recommend!

Always a fabulous experience with Rachel. Love the color. Love the cut and blow dry. All of the products are a treat for my hair. 💜

Rachel with Sacred Roots Organic Hair is amazing! I received a 90 min scalp treatment and she completely transformed the health of my scalp. She customized the experience to my specific needs and was very present and grounded. I would highly recommend booking this service, and I can’t wait to receive a hair cut with her!

Rachel has a magic touch with hair shaping and color. She makes you feel comfortable and special. I love that she doesn’t use harsh chemicals.

Rachel is absolutely the best! She's been doing my hair for over two years now and has never disappointed. Her dry cuts give life to my fine and straight hair, and her coloring skills always leave me speechless!

This was by far the BEST salon experience I have ever had. Rachel is not just a hairstylist, she is a healer devoted to paving a new way in the beauty industry which defies toxic norms that so many of us are accustomed to. Her dedication to a holistic approach, gentle nature, deep listening skills, and genuine care for her clients create an experience that is truly nourishing. She is also clearly very skilled and knowledgeable in helping people to reach their hair goals. Thank you sooo much Rachel! 💜

I love getting my hair done by Rachel - I’ve gone to her twice now and I can honestly say she’s given me the two best haircuts I’ve ever had… she listened to exactly what I wanted and used her expertise to cut and layer my fine wavy hair. The products she uses are all natural and the color turned out beautifully! I’m so glad I found her and will be returning for as long as I’m in Asheville 🙌
It should also be known that the salon chairs are extremely comfortable, and parking is ample. 10/10 would recommend!

I've been looking for a stylist who knows what they're doing in terms of hair health and does a great cut. Rachel is that person! The dry haircut worked well for my fine, wavy hair and was good value for a salon cut. My haircuts at other salons have often felt rushed, like the blowout was the focus rather than the actual cut. With the dry cut, Rachel focuses on a careful cut and gives haircare pointers based on your needs. In terms of other services, the scalp treatment is a luxurious experience and gives insight into what you might want to switch up in terms of scalp care (which can be done at home, e.g. an exfoliating product that can be applied at home). Altogether, I've learned a lot and have enjoyed what feels like a mini spa trip every time I book with Rachel! She's a lovely, warm person, always explains what she's doing, and makes sure you're comfortable. Quick note because it was confusing to me: Botanics Beauty Lounge is Rachel's business, and Balm Salon is the service location (a salon where she and other independent stylists work). Balm Salon is a really nice space.

Rachel is a delight - such great energy! She is doing a great job, helping me grow out my short gray hair a bit. She is very talented - plus she listens well. I highly recommend her.
