Personal Services

intro by Kent Priestley in Vol. 14 / Iss. 12 on 10/17/2007

Asheville, you are a work in progress. No matter how fit, fixed, tattooed and tanned you are, there's always another piece of the puzzle out there to make you even more you.

And not only that: The world takes its toll, ya know? Cars need parts replaced, computers need troubles shot, and by the way, you seem tense -- how about a massage?

From the looks of it, you have made up your mind on a lot of the services around town: Five out of 11 of these categories were topped by Hall of Famers like Man's Ruin and Beverly Hanks, but this year, we added a personal touch, letting you vote on not just where -- but with whom -- your loyalties lie when you need a new hairstyle, massage or yoga class.

Diamond Brand is a great place to get all your outdoor supplies and the customer service there is wonderful. They are sponsors of the Autism Run/Walk that benefits many families and the Autism Society of North Carolina. The autism population likes to hike and Diamond Brand is so good with that population of people.
