Areté [ah-ray-tay](GREEK) meaning a state in which one has reached EXCELLENCE.
Arete, in its basic sense, means excellence
​of any kind, the act of living up
to one's full potential. Arete in ancient Greek culture was courage and strength in the face of adversity and it was to what all people aspired.
Translated as "virtue," the word actually
means something closer to "being the
best you can be," or “reaching
your highest human potential."

Arete' Salon opened it's doors in May of 2011.
At Areté, EXCELLENCE is achieved
with every appointment. Specializing in the latest trends for hair, nails, and makeup.
