I have had an amazing experience here! Dom did a complete transformational brunette with dimensions color and haircut. She got the exact color and style that I wanted. She is truly so amazing at what she does. Her blowouts are AMAZING, so make sure you get the special blowout! Highly recommend.

Shelby Urban is the bees knees! I am so relieved to have found my hair guru in East TN. She gave me a shaggy cut & my first perm, instructions on how to take care of it / a detailed curly hair regimen. She responded to all my questions of things I forgot and ensured I was happy with it. She brought me back in because I wasn't, fixed me up again, and once again followed up to make sure my hair was jiving. Love love loveš

Such a cool space!! The aesthetic is beautiful & curated perfectly. Dom did an immaculate job on my hair. We bleach & toned + applied sew in extensions & they couldnāt be more perfect. Renewed confidence! Thank you!!

I can not recommend Shelby enough! She did a curly hair cut on me and taught me so much about how to properly care for my hair. She made me feel so comfortable the entire experience and the conversation was so fun!

Shelby is literally a godsend, i have had trouble with curly hair but oh my goodness she did not disappoint one bit! She went absolutely above and beyond to teach me all the tricks for my hair, and while my hair was drying she took the time to send me all the products she used and several other products she recommended, and she still managed to send me a thank you message afterwards. Shelby is one of the kindest humans iāve met and i would recommend her to everyone

Allison was absolutely wonderful! I followed her from a previous salon and wouldnāt trust anyone else with my hair! She understands my rambles to help me figure out what Iām wanting and what will actually compliment me (and my hair)! Her pricing is well set, and her skills are phenomenal! Sheās done color, cut and style for me several times. Itās never a transaction and she genuinely cares about ALL of her clients! So excited she has a wonderful salon to support her!

This is the second time Iāve been to Allison and she killed it. She kills it every time. She listens to everything I ramble about and then brings it to life. She is fun and very talented. If youāre shopping around for a new stylist then Allison is your girl!

This place is absolutely amazing! I was super afraid to get my haircut again because another barber messed me up last time, but everyone here was so kind and super super talented! They did a great job and I can't wait to go back š

I am nervous about trying new salons because my hair is so important to me but Carol at the velvet panther is the best hair dresser I have been to, she has a foot massager for the most relaxing experience and my hair looks amazing! Will be coming back

I got a curly haircut with Shelby at the Velvet Panther after trying so many curly folks around town. Safe to say I found my go to curl girl!! She spent SO much time educating me on maintenance, care & listening to all of my preferences and needs. I now have the PERFECT curly girl cut that is customized to my hair type & so easy to style with my low maintenance daily needs. I could not recommend Shelby more. If you have curly hair & want to find someone who truly cares & will take the time to exchange you on your specific hair type with your specific lifestyle - look no further!! Truly my greatest hair experience of all time!!

So the only person I will go to for coloring, Chynna India, has opened her own salon, THE Velvet Panther. I'm so happy for her and the staff and my first visit there did not disappoint. Of course, I love Chynna, but I can not wait to go back for haircuts, styling, tattoos, what the f ever!

Tiffaney cut my hair exactly how i wanted! i asked for long layers & curtain bangs to compliment my face shape. Chynna then colored my hair! i wanted a chocolate brown color with caramel highlights & she killed it!!! the environment is super accepting & friendly as well! i will definitely be back!

The Velvet Panther is not only such a cool vibe, and great experience, you will also NOT be disappointed with your service! I have been getting my hair done by Chynna for a little over 4yrs now, and she does an amazing job with color! I have had all sorts of colors done on my hair over the years, and she always has the healthiest approachās for my hair. Love this girl, and this placeš

From first consultation to finished product, Shelby Urban was a consummate professional. Kind, patient, and communicative, she immediately put me at ease with both her obvious knowledge & passion. Her positive attitude was infectious, and conversation flowed easily. Her prices are reasonable, but more than anything, the results speak for themselvesāmy hair feels so healthy and I feel beautiful. Thank you, Shelby! Knoxville is lucky to have you.

Great place with a super cool vibe! Carol did my hair perfect! I have a hard time finding a stylist that knows how to do curly, long, blonde hair. Do yourself a favor and come see the best!

Highly recommend Mariella as a tattoo artist. She is accommodating to what you are looking for or envisioning. On top of that during your session, she always makes sure you are feeling comfortable or okay (even though you might be dying of pain). I might live two hours away, but I continue to go to her for how much i appreciate her work and hospitality!

I visited Shelby Urban a couple weeks ago for a curly cut. Not only did I walk away thrilled with my hair but Shelby also made me feel comfortable and understood. She answered all the questions I had about my fine curls and made affordable product recommendations. I highly recommend Shelby!

Mariella has done many tattoos for me over the last few years and I will definitely be a returning client as long as sheās around.

Mariella is The BEST. Not only does she do awesome tattoos, sheās also genuine and kind. When it comes to appointments, sheās timely and always has her drawings ready during tattoo sessions. She gets you in and out FAST, with quality work. If you want a quality tattoo from an amazing human, visit Velvet Panther. The atmosphere is cute!!

Recently had my hair cut by Shelby at the velvet panther for the first time, have found my new Knoxville stylist! She did such a great job, took the time to walk me through styling and products, and has all kinds of offerings to get you through the āin betweenā (quick layer refresh, bang trims, etc). Plus, she cool.
