Welcome to Hair Benders NorthShore.
A new way & a new place for you to experience everything you love about Hair Benders!
Chattanooga’s favorite salon now has two locations to bring you the hottest styles and exceptional service.
After 42 years in East Brainerd, Hair Benders could not be more excited to announce the opening of an additional location on Frazier Avenue, in the heart of Chattanooga’s thriving North Shore.
It’s been quite a journey to open a new salon this year. The pandemic obviously created a challenging environment for Hair Benders. The existing East Brainerd location was brought to a standstill for weeks during the city’s shelter in place order, and the North Shore opening that was originally scheduled for May 2020 had to be postponed.
Hair Benders remained committed to growing, used the extended timeline to its advantage, and now Curtis Fairbanks and his expert team of stylists are thrilled that the moment has finally arrived to bring Hair Benders reputation for excellence and professionalism to the North Shore. As an International hair color educator and Hair Color Council Member, Fairbanks keeps his team on the cutting edge of hair trends, while also serving as Lead Educator for up and coming stylists at both locations.
Started by Bobby and Voula Fairbanks over 4 decades ago, Hair Benders is Chattanooga’s only Intercoiffure Salon, and internationally acclaimed as one of the top 1% of hair salons worldwide. In addition to a commitment to unparalleled client care, Bobby and Voula’s deep respect and dedication to the Hair Benders team is a core value that resonates across both locations, and throughout the history of our salon.
By upholding this rigorous standard of excellence, Hair Benders has earned and maintained its position as a market leader for over four decades. Every stylists on our team participates in advanced training throughout the year with renowned educators from around the world. Of all the acclaim lavished upon our team throughout our history, we’re most proud of having been voted Chattanooga’s Best of the Best for the last 20 years.
