Hair Salons in East Chattanooga

Certified by NovaLash, an industry heavyweight in lash artistry that's been touted between the glossy covers of Cosmopolitan and Modern Salon magazines, Laura Standridge flaunts her eye for detail through the fastidious application of eyelash extensions. Laura works her magic at Jessie James Hair Studio, a vibrant salon where modern sensibilities converge in the work of hairstylists. With care and artistry, she affixes her clients' eyes with sleek lash extensions that give sultry gazes extra flair and the ability to extinguish trick birthday candles with one flutter.

Unruly tresses submit to stylists' scissors, foils, and clippers as clients recline in the salon chairs of Cuttin Loose. Nail services pamper appendages with soothing add-ons such as exfoliating salt scrubs or moisturizing dips in paraffin wax, and waxing evicts hairs that have overstayed their welcome while couch-surfing from lips to chins.

The stylists at Uptown Salon use serums from Redken and Wella to revamp locks during haircuts and color services. By affixing feather extensions to strands, stylists add extra bling to hairstyles and incite romantic fervor in neighbors’ pet peacocks.

Since 1994, the stylists at Techniques Salon have beautified men’s, women’s, and children’s hair with cuts and coloring services, as well as waxing and nailcare. The salon’s tangle-reducing keratin treatments, designed for those with curly hair or a habit of storing half-chewed bubble gum under their pigtails, use four different types of Keratin Complex treatments to tame clients’ locks and create sleek, shiny styles.

Stylist Rachel Roes McCoy began her haircare career at 16, when she started shaping new coiffures for her family and friends. Since then, she has become a certified facial-waxing specialist and trained with stylists Martin Parsons and Nick Arrojo from TLC's What Not to Wear. Nowadays, McCoy showcases her expertise with shears at Studio La Vie, where she severs split ends, snips away tangled fishing lines, and performs coloring and waxing services.

At The Hair Lounge, co-owners Angie Pilkington and Jennifer Miller keep their creative styling team educated on the latest industry trends through ongoing education. According to a feature on The Company Lab website, Pilkington has been a representative at the New York branch of the renowned Intercoiffure Mondial––an international organization for high-quality hairdressing that represents the top 2% of salons in the world. By encouraging her crew to strive for that same level of success, Pilkington has created a small business that is stylish beyond its stature, where personalized services take the place of cookie-cutter cuts and styles are sealed in with paraben-free Oribe products.

Inside the salon, vintage-inspired chandeliers illuminate the bright-pink dividers at each styling station. The lounge area uses transparent chairs, rich hardwood furniture, and gray walls with white wainscoting to create an ambiance that is both classic and modern, calling to mind the aesthetic of a hip Manhattan club or Mozart's favorite discotheque.
