Salon Biyoshi

The salon is nice and the gal who cut my hair was friendly. I went in asking for a dry curly cut, which was what the first half of my appointment was, but then the stylist washed my hair and went back in to «clean up the ends» which ended up making my hair cut a wet straight cut. Wasn’t quite the cut or outcome I was hoping for, as my curls ended up being different lengths.
I wasn’t overly impressed with the friendliness of the front desk, but thought the little «first time customer» gift bag was a nice touch.

Salon Biyoshi is my favorite salon in Knoxville!
They always do a fantastic job with my hair, which is very thick, coarse, and curly. The stylists are always extremely friendly and easy to talk to– even for a nervous, shy person like myself. I always feel very comfortable there and they really treat their customers well.
I 100% would recommend this place to everyone I know. For reasonable prices, you get a great new hair style or just a small update on your current look. Either way, it’s totally worth it.

So i was looking for best salons here in Knoxville and found this salon with great reviews! I called them to make an appointment and i got lucky that they got me scheduled same day. I came here for haircut and ombré color. I’m very impressed of their service and i also had complimentary white wine. It took me almost 4 hours being there but it was worth it. I also had brow waxing here. I would recommend this to my friends and I would probably come back here. Thank you Timory for taking good care of my hair!

One of my best experiences at a salon so far in Knoxville and in general!
I’m from CA originally. I came for my nails and waxing. The salon was able to book my eyebrow wax and gel nail appointment in one day!
Brandy (? Sorry if wrong spelling) did my eyebrows and though she usually does hair, she was friendly and did a nice job. She gave me a little tour of the salon and all the staff I interacted with were so hospitable!
I got my nails done with Torie and she was fantastic! Reallt personable and down to earth. I felt comfortable with her and she did my nails great.
I’d recommend this spa for anyone and I am looking forward to getting my hair done here soon!

I love this salon! I had crazy, difficult hair until I started coming here. You get what you pay for and a few extra dollars provides a great atmosphere with attentive staff. I absolutely hated getting my hair done and now I happily sign up for appointments every six weeks. I would definitely recommend!

Lindsey is phenomenal. She’s been doing my color and cut for several months now and I always leave thrilled with what she’s done. She has this great vision and she always does whatever she can to give you the hair you dream of! She’s great at bayalage and pretty much everything she does! I love Salon Biyoshi and will come here for as long as I can! Very clean studio and friendly staff.

Adorable salon that is well kept and clean. Leah did my color and conditioning treatment and was phenomenal– her attention to detail matched mine and it felt like she wanted to do everything in her power to turn my dark roots into platinum perfection, exactly how I would have imagined. She was so easy to talk to and very straight forward with me. I hate feeling pushed into things at salons that I’m not convinced I need (because I have a hard time saying no) and she was great about her suggestions and recommendations and did not feel pushy at all. The salon’s wash bowls are in a separate area with dim lighting and feel very relaxing. They also offer water, coffee, sodas, wine, and snacks for all their guests free of charge (a great touch!). I will definitely be back for my hair needs and would also consider checking out their facial and nail services. The prices were very fair and I even got sent home with a little goody bag of samples and chocolate.

Have been going here for about 3 years now and really like it. I can have a glass of wine or beer while I get my hair cut. The stylists are friendly and energetic. Truly a professional business. Great atmosphere. Won’t be leaving anytime soon!

I love Salon Biyoshi! I recently moved to Baltimore, but I haven’t found a salon there that compares. So, when visiting family in TN, I make the drive to Knoxville. I always see Lauren Brooks and she is an amazing stylist! I highly recommend her. She is super sweet, attentive and always does a wonderful job!

I was a Groupon holder for a manicure and pedicure with Tori. Normally, I would not patronize this type of establishment due to the high price tag for all services. However, when a Groupon comes out for a place like this… I’m there!
I have experienced MANY mani/​pedis at salons across the country. Most are done by non-​English speaking techs who are more interested in talking to their cohorts than to customers. This is not the case at this salon. Tori is an American born and bred. She is super friendly, attentive, very respectful, doesn’t rush, and makes you feel like a million bucks! Wow! Tori, without the salon services, is worth going to see.
As far as the actual services, they were alright. My manicure was better than my pedicure because Tori KNEW what I meant when I said I wanted my nails buffed instead of polished. I left looking like I had clear polish on when in fact they are my actual nails. She is a nail artist as well for those of you who like pictures on your fingers. I wasn’t too keep on the lotion used for the hand massage. Too much perfume. The lotion used is a brand they sell on site.
The pedicure was average. She took her time which was a welcomed change. She do used a heel scrubber type thing instead of a heel file. I still have hard calluses on my heel but the scrubber was nicer than the file.
The nail products used are CND and Esse. The scrubber and leg massage lotions and salt scrubs and buffer are OPI. Oh and after your pedi she places your feet in REAL flip flops and not those paper thin things you get at other places.
For you Cajun Shrimp fans… ask for Lobster Roll.
This salon offers wine, beer, soda, water and snacks. They have pellet ice… yes…seriously! And first timers leave with a goodie box. It’s really a first class place!

I recently had my first experience with this salon. I went in for a cut/​dry and I saw Mary one of the owners. She was great, I was happy with the result and enjoyed the experience. They did a great job of welcoming me, giving me a tour and explaining various amenities (such as drinks/​snack, the shampoo area, services like manicure/​pedicures offered, etc). The environment is very nice and I thought my stylist listened really well to what I wanted, how I do my hair and what would work best. She repeated back what she thought I told her which I think is great so it’s clear whether she does or doesn’t get it instead of just saying «yes». That was great. Cut was good and I thought the price was reasonable. For mine the cut was $ 54 which is good to me. Granted I just moved back here from living in washington DC where I regularly paid $ 65 for a cut that is not quite as good/​quite as nice a service though roughly on par. Overall I was very happy and will be back. I think this is one of the better establishments in west knoxville if you want a good quality experience and want to be able to trust your stylist.

Treated like Royalty!
If you want to get treated like a Queen or Princess then go to Salon Biyoshi. My first visit was impressive and I really enjoyed my salon experience. Very professional and extremely personable, excellent stylish cut and style. Thanks Mary and all the staff!

I have been a client of Brandon Harris for six years and a huge fan of Salon Biyoshi since its opening. I have always been treated with the highest respect. Brandon always performs an initial consultation. I have never been disappointed with cut, color or style. Also make sure you see Carolyn for nails! i am very impressed with excellent customer service by all staff. Don’t hesitate to visit Salon Biyoshi.

I went and had my hair cut here a few weeks ago for the first time. I wanted to wait a while to see how I felt about my hair and not just go by day 1.
Well, I loved my hair then and I love it now too! My hair was done by Ashton. I really liked her whole way she provided service from start to end. She really made me feel like what I wanted matter and she really listened to what I told her I wanted with my hair and the goals I had with my style. She sat down and talked to me face-​to-​face on my level and didn’t stand over me or talk down to me, and unlike the last 2 hair stylists I had, she would actually make sure I was ok with where she was going length-​wise before cutting anymore off. She is also the only stylist to style my hair without having to use a flat iron, ever! So, major props to her!
The staff seemed really friendly as well. I recieved a welcome kit, which included $ 10 off my next visit (and who doesn’t love that!). All together, my wash, cut, and style came to $ 36 (not including tip), which is not bad at all, especially for a real salon. The place is also nicely decorated and well kept. Very professional looking and clean. Everything looks up to date. They play Top 40 hits as background music too.
Another really nice feature that I enjoyed about this salon is that it was open at 8am, which really helps me out! I work nights, so the morning is like my evening and unfortunately most salons in the area do not open up until about 10am or even later, which is when I am getting ready to wind down. I also was a walk-​in and able to get service right away and they were not snotty about me not having an appointment either.
The only downside, for me, was that they use Redkin products exclusively and unfortunately my hair does not like Redkin shampoo or conditioner, as it always makes my hair come out. As I sat in the chair while she was combing it, I could see her coming up with chunks of hair. Good thing I have a lot of hair!

I love Salon Biyoshi!
Biyoshi means (roughly) «Beautiful cool»… and they always make me feel beautiful and cool when I come in and I look and feel even more beautiful and cool when I walk out!
They are a full service, premium salon. So if you are looking for a cheap cut. Salon Biyoshi is not for you. Go to Ross and Co… You might find that you get what you pay for.
You see all kinds of women with all types of personal style there and they work hard to find the perfect stylist. Salon Biyoshi is laid back and not stuffy or pretentious — unlike some of the other salons in Knoxville who like to believe they are way hipper than they are.
Jennifer cuts and colors my hair and is a perfect fit for me.

I’m doing this review for all the people out there getting a Brazilian Blowout (BB) in Knoxville. I live in Vancouver but was coming to Knoxville for Christmas to visit my in-​laws. I went to the BB website and they list by city which salons are certified to do the BB. Salon Biyoshi was one of them, I went to Unilocal and google and saw that their reviews were fairly decent so I decided to go with them over other salons plus their pricing was really fair.
First off, the salon was super cute and well put together. I really liked the aesthetic of it. They’re the type of salon that offers coffee, tea, snacks and wine if you’re interested since my appointment was at 10am, I went with coffee.
Lauren was my stylist who did the BB on me. She did it exactly by the book and was super attentive and caring. I really liked her charm and sweetness. I would definitely go back to her if I do BB again in Knoxville.
Overall, a really great experience with great staff and salon.

I had my hair done by Sam, it was for a cut and highlights. She did a wonderful job. Salon Biyoshi was running a great $ 99 special, which worked out much less than where I usually get my hair done.
I will return.
