Willows Dream, Asheville, NC
About six years a go the Lanier family decided that they wanted a better place to raise their kids and a less chaotic life. Marcy Lanier, a hairstylist of twenty years, had always dreamed of opening her own salon in combination with a magical, eclectic gift shop.
Willow's Dream is truly a family adventure. Cheri, Marcy's older sister, is a favorite artist among our customers. We can't seem keep her pottery on the walls! As well as coming up with unique art for our store, Robyn created the gorgeous Willow's Dream logo. She is our creative graphic designer. Robyn is the creator and entrepreneur of a line of babywear if you'd like to visit her she can be found at: www.hellobabywear.com. It's been a joy to carry their art and watch our customers love it as well.
When the Lanier's found Asheville, they knew that is was just the place to realize their dreams. It took some time but in October 2005, Willow's Dream, named for their daughter, became their reality. The back of the house and the upstairs hosts a fantastic full service salon including nails, facials, and waxing.
As the Laniers continue to root themselves in Asheville life, they want to be more than just shop owners. "Our customers are our friends," says Marcy, "This is a place to relax and talk and spend a little time."
