Best Place for a Haircut in Knoxville?

CP KFQ, Popular, Questions 34 Comments

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 Davis at Salon W, I’m curious:

Where’s your favorite place in Knoxville to get a new do?

  2. 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!

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

    1. Gotta disgaree about Sherese at Salon Azure. The color I selected on the swatch she presented, was, in her opinion, “too much work.” Tough, Sherese, that’s what you get paid for. She also left the color in my hair too long, making it inky black. Never will I go to SA again.

  7. 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.

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

  9. 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.

  10. 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…

  11. 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!

  13. FOR A GREAT CUT AND COLOR SEE JILL AT CITY SALON ON BROADWAY IN FOUNTAIN CITY, THEY HAVE CLIENTS OF ALL
    AGES AND EACH STYLIST HAVE FROM 40 YEARS OF EXP.TO 5 YRS. FRAN

  14. easily, my fave place is LOX! its affordable and elise gives me a great cut and color every time that doesn’t just look great when I leave, but its awesomeness lasts and lasts!

  15. I get my hair cut at Erin’s —-Above the Neck—-you get in and get out—–and I don’t have to cut off an arm and leg to pay for it—-I just shake it—falls into place and off I go—-

  16. Being a finicky client, I have found Denise at True Radiance in Fountain City to be the best. Attention to detail, and a real bargain! Knoxvegas’ best kept secret
