Hair Salons in Shiloh

Like the demon barber of Fleet Street from whence it gets its name, Sweeney Todd Salon takes a dramatic approach to the styling arts. The salon, which pays homage to its namesake with a blood-red wall plastered with framed Broadway programs, is the brainchild of Robert Dixon, a master hair designer with more than 30 years of industry experience. A graduate of the Franklin School of Cosmetology, Robert leads a team of stylists in sculpting manes with products by Scruples, Paul Mitchell, Deva Curl, and Aquage. Meanwhile, an on-staff skin specialist purifies pores and boosts outer radiance with facials, waxing, and makeup services. In front of the salon, floor-to-ceiling windows mingle their light with that of stainless steel pendant lamps, which illuminate a cozy waiting area stocked with magazines, black couches, and blank farewell cards to soon-departed tresses.

Within Utopia Salon & Day Spa, a beauty emporium specializing in skincare, massage, makeup application, and nail services, Stephanie exploits her steady hands and keen eye to sculpt flattering 'dos. She performs men's, women's, and kids' haircuts; transforms texture with perms and relaxers; and adds vibrancy and depth with coloring and highlighting treatments. Stephanie also performs Brazilian blowouts, which leave locks more manageable than a well-trained canine actor.

The sounds of snipping shears and lively chatter fill the interior of Utopia Salon & Day Spa, a full-service beauty emporium where professional stylists twirl around salon chairs as they cut and color hair to match the unique personalities of their clients. Among these stylists is Ali, whose wealth of experience finds a worthy outlet in her comprehensive repertoire of treatments. Ali’s highlights and coloring treatments infuse hair with the most common shades of summer, from the rippling yellows of a sunset to the vivid pinks of a sunburn. When she isn’t cutting and coloring hair, she adds texture and shine to strands with frizz-busting keratin smoothing treatments.

Sky-blue walls and glowing lamps set a chipper tone for coiffure overhauls inside of Salon Ventures, where stylist Jennifer Belle breathes new life into hairdos one client at a time. The highlights specialist trims and shapes locks into face-framing 'dos before reanimating gray or faded strands with fresh colors stolen out of a rainbow's brainstorming journal. With the patience and personal attention that comes from an independent stylist, clients can feel free to discuss their image goals without having to compete with a chorus of blow dryers. Visitors can also bid adieu to body hair as the stylist discreetly waxes whiskers from lips, chins, and eyebrows.

The experienced stylists at Lunatic Fringe Salon attend to the health and beauty of hair with an array of salon services. When guests arrive, they enter the lather lounge—a dimly lit, soundproof room with shampoo chairs that fit the body like a memory-foam glove. While soft meditation music plays, stylists spend fifteen minutes shampooing strands and massaging necks, hands, and arms. The entire process is followed up with a warm towel and a make-up retouch. In addition to creating a soothing and tranquil experience, stylists crop coiffures, gild tresses, and wax brows while teaching their clients how to recreate their new 'dos at home or in a courtroom reenactment.

More than 10 talented stylists clip, color, and condition follicles to the tune of a long list of services within the warm walls of Benzie Salon. Have ends professionally hemmed to create a breezier summertime coif (haircuts are $35+ for women, $20+ for men), or treat yourself to a beach-worthy style that will outlive summer with a permanent wave ($60+) or partial highlight ($55+). If you feel your curly hairs are on the road to delinquency, scare them straight with a relaxer treatment ($65+), or simply keep them in place with a formal updo ($45+).
