Drybar Opens First East Tennessee Location in Knoxville’s Turkey Creek



Drybar has officially opened its first East Tennessee location in Knoxville’s Turkey Creek Shopping Center. The new salon marked its debut with a Galentine’s Day grand opening event hosted by franchise owners Steve and Sarah Uhls. Guests were welcomed into the polished new space to experience Drybar’s signature services, which focus exclusively on blowouts. Attendees enjoyed styling services, complimentary beverages, and gift bags as the brand introduced its blowout-only concept to the Knoxville community.

“At Drybar, our philosophy is simple. Focus on one thing and be the best at it,” Sarah Uhls states. “For us, that’s blowouts.” Drybar specializes in professional blowouts, offering a menu of signature styles with names such as “The Cosmo” and “Mai Tai.” The salon does not offer cuts or color services, allowing stylists to concentrate solely on delivering consistent, high-quality blowouts in a welcoming setting.

With a focus on both in-salon results and at-home maintenance, Drybar also provides professional-quality products and tools designed to help clients achieve and maintain their style between appointments. “With that purpose in mind, we are focused on giving each and every client the premier blowout experience while providing professional quality products and tools to better help our clients achieve and maintain the perfect blowout at home,” Sarah shares

The Turkey Creek location brings Drybar’s established brand and streamlined service model to Knoxville, offering residents a new option for professional styling tailored to everyday wear, special events, and celebrations. The salon is now open and accepting appointments.
