If you’re lucky, you have a hair stylist who has never steered you wrong and who is good at what they do. And then there’s Shane Archer, who was sent down to Earth by the hair gods. Seriously, this guy is incredible. Shane is the only hair stylist and colorist that I’ve been to since I’ve lived in Knoxville and I won’t go to anyone else. (It speaks to how good he is that he has a 6-week wait list.) Six months ago, Shane opened his own salon, Grow.
grow is a Shane Archer Concept. When designing grow, Shane wanted more than just a salon, he wanted to create an experience. grow caters to everything hair, skin and body. Providing clients with the best the industry has to offer- the best products on the market and the best service by Knoxville’s top salon specialists. grow is all about promoting what is local. Featuring local artists, local coffee, local music, and even burning local candles.
Not only do they offer hair services, but they also offer massage therapy as well as makeup and other skin services. When creating his salon, Shane thought of everything. The reception area features hair products by Kevin Murphy and other products by local vendors. There is a serene waiting area with an incredibly comfortable couch and a coffee bar. And you aren’t expected to sit in the same chair the entire time – in addition to the traditional salon-style sitting area, there is a color bar where color is put on your hair that has an open lounge concept. Your next step is going to the blow-dry bar where you will fight to stay awake from having your head massaged while being washed.
While I will never have anyone else touch even a single strand on my head, everyone that works at Grow is incredibly talented. Check it out!
