From the genesis of three stylists, a manicurist, and a massage therapist, Salon U opened its doors June of 2002 to an overwhelming reception as Birmingham Alabama's premier Aveda Lifestyle Salon where transcendent style and beauty beyond the tradition are forged for all. Salon U’s approach towards hair, makeup, and spa services are emulated and framed against a backdrop of clean-lined, industrial decor where new and unique creations are crafted, honed, and inspired by you, for you.

Owner, Issam Bajalia

At Salon U we strive to reach beyond the roots (of hair), and into the refinement and healing of one’s core self.
— Issam Bajalia, Entrepreneur & Proprietor

What makes Salon U an Aveda Lifestyle Salon is our exclusive selection of Aveda hair, body, and skincare products, all botanically based and produced with the goal of preserving the environment.  Our services include Aveda Hair Color, and Aveda Trend Hair cutting and styling, as well as signature spa treatments and complimentary sensory rituals.  Salon U is a proud participant in Aveda’s Pure Privilege program, a loyalty program rewarding members who use Aveda products.
