Thank you Watauga County for voting us Best Beauty Salon 2023
“Our 13th annual Best of the Best awards dinner far exceeded any of our previous events by any measure,” Walker said. “We hoped moving the event to a larger space within the Grandview Ballroom would help boost attendance, but the turnout surpassed even our most lofty expectations. All the feedback I received from attendees was highly positive.”
Watauga County Small Business of the Year 2021
"A staple among the Boone Mall business community for going on three years, Mane Habit Salon has established itself as one of the most trusted salons in the High Country. Owned and operated by Jezabel LeBatard, Mane Habit works within the mission of helping people discover the beauty within themselves. Since opening the doors, the staff has grown from a team of three to now eight stylists and two front desk staff, striving daily to provide consistent results for customers, while creating a positive and relaxing experience.
Like every salon in the State, Mane Habit was dealt numerous operational hurdles as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Upon reopening, the staff excelled on communicating expectations to customers and followed through in developing an environment that prioritized safety for clients and employees alike."
