About Salon El-Khouri and owner, Rita El-Khouri

Our Location

Andrews is a picturesque, unspoiled mountain town nestled between the Valley and Snowbird Mountains in Western North Carolina. It’s a destination in itself, with the best whitewater and fly fishing on the East Coast, as well as fantastic mountain golf and every kind of outdoor activity. For European styling and a very personal touch, it’s worth taking the trip to beautiful Andrews.

Andrews is home of the full-service Western North Carolina Regional Airport, which has a mile-long runway, charters and rental cars.
