At 11,000 square feet, HBI East Brainerd has a rhythm all its own. Hair is being cut, colored, styled, and finished across the salon while the day spa moves at a quieter pace. It is HBI at its fullest: decades of expertise, a large team, and nearly everything we do under one roof.
Hair and Beauty,
All in One Place
HBI East Brainerd is the larger expression of what Hair Benders has become since 1978. The 11,000-square-foot Gunbarrel location brings a full team of stylists together for cutting, color, highlights, balayage, extensions, styling, hair treatments, and special occasion work. Every appointment begins with a complimentary consultation, giving your stylist time to understand your hair, routine, and plans for it.
A Quieter Kind of Luxury
Upstairs, The Spa at HBI at HairBenders occupies the third floor and offers a quieter counterpart to the salon’s energy below. Clients can book facials and skin treatments, manicures, pedicures, lash and brow services, and face and body waxing. Come in for a haircut or spend an afternoon moving between salon and spa: East Brainerd accommodates both!
