When you move to a new city or you end up on the losing end of a Don King-styled haircut, you’ll most likely seek out a new place to get your haircut.
As I phone in my appointment with Rob at Belleza Salon and Spa, I’m curious:
Where’s your favorite place in Knoxville to get a new do?

@Erin: You know you like the, “I just stuck my finger in a light socket look.”

I thought I had gotten a great cut from the barber hidden next to long’s till it tarted growing back in, you could call it the mini don king.

My favorite place is Salon Azure in Bearden. The massage — no, not that kind of massage — you get before they wash your hair is awesome!
Make sure you ask for Amy — she used to be a journalist!

Not much for the cut lately…working on a sweet business in front, party in the back mullet. I go to Rob as well, but also like to check out Junior over at Western Plaza for a true barber shop experience.

I went to Vibe for the first time last month and loved it. Planning on scheduling a color next week.

I have to jump on the Belleza train too. I go to Kim — best colorist in Knoxville, period. She’s also great if you have natural wave or curl, like yours truly.

Stout’s California Concepts on 5307 N Broadway St is where I get my hair cut. Ask for Katie she’s the best! She worked with me when I had no idea what to do with my hair. Also, basically gave me a transformation.

Great Clips in Fountain City…they do a really good job and I get a coupon in the mail about once a month…and in my book, that’s as good as money.

Brandi at Salon Visage on Market Square. Able to tame unruly cowlicks and other genetic anomalies with a single snip! A scissoring super hero!

If you’re a guy looking for a good old fashion barber, then you can’t beat the Varsity Barber Shop next to Walgreens on the strip. One of the few barber shops that takes appointments. I prefer Jack but the Buddhist guy is also good.

I’m a big fan of Ebony (for cut) and Sherese (for color) at Salon Azure. The only problem is I walk out craving Nama, right next door.

I’ve been a fan of Melanie Cooper for a while. She now owns Pure Envy Salon behind East Towne (Oops, Knoxville Centre) Mall. She’s great and always on time. I have never waited more than a few minutes. I can’t say that for other places I’ve used.

Salon Venus. Mandie Harrison. I have gone to her for 15+ years through many styles and I continue to get regular compliments.

No self-respecting barber shop takes appointments, takes credit, or uses anything but the straight razor. Fountain Gate Barbers in Fountain City takes the cake.

Union Avenue Barber Shop, Downtown — It’s actually located on Walnut, between Clinch and Union (i.e. don’t believe the Google)!.
Great prices, they’ve been downtown for years. Old car pics on the walls…

I have been going to Panache Hair and Body in Fountain City for quite some time. Talk about a great place to get a hair cut or more then I recommend this place highly.

Teresa Wesson at The Haircolor Salon (865 – 688-8114, 1308 Wilson Road, Ste 106…off Clinton Highway) is the best — Teresa is very up to date on both color and cut, and does a fantastic job!
