Nirvana Barber Studio

Nirvana is honestly the best barbershop in the Knoxville area. The other places like Gambuzzas and some chains like Tune Up don’t quite understand the hair needs of some people. I’ve been trying to do different hairstyles to compliment me and Justin at Nirvana really helped. He gave great recommendations, great product recommendations, and overall the whole staff is kind and very knowledgeable. Justin has done an incredible job every single time I’ve went. 10/10

My son decided to cut his own hair, and while I wasn’t very happy about it, I took him somewhere we’d never been before to get it fixed. Unfortunately, they made it even worse — I hated it so much I could’ve cried. Thankfully, I brought him to Nirvana’s, and Alex took his time to fix the horrible cut. He did an amazing job! My son absolutely loves his hair now, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

Been coming here since the Clean Cut days but I like Nirvana even more. I get the same fade every time and no matter who I book with, they kill it. Jacob, Nicole, Justin, whoever. Last time I came in, Justin was cutting my hair and he knew the cut without me having to say ish…that type of thing is exactly why I will ALWAYS come back here as long as I’m living in Knoxville. Great cuts, great conversation, clean shop, dope atmosphere, good vibes all around. 5 stars isn’t enough stars! Nirvana is THE spot for any cut!!

My 12 yo is picky about who will cut his hair. (May stem from the pandemic times when I thought I could do it myself??). Anyway, for about a year now, we’ve been looking for somewhere he wanted to go and I had time to drive to. We found it here! The people were warm and inviting and my son’s haircut looks great to both him and me! We will definitely be going back!

I didn’t choose Nirvana Barber Studio. Destiny did. There I was driving in an unfamiliar area. I glanced in my rearview mirror but instead of seeing the car behind me all I could see was the shame growing from the top of my head and face. I immediately Googled "nearest barber shop," and clicked the first result. No research. No reading reviews, Just blind faith and questionable decision making. Yet somehow… fate was on my side. From the moment I walked in, hearing the youngest apprentice (approximately 4 yrs old) speaking of his awesome vision to one day have his own Grinch themed shop, I knew right then I was in the company of artistic genius! The cut was clean. Too clean. Suspiciously clean. The kind of haircut that makes you rethink every bad haircut that led you here. As for the barber, more like hair sorcerer....Michelangelo, had marble. My barber had clippers. No awkward small talk. No forced laughs. No nonsense. Just calm, precise confidence. The scissors moved like they had seen the future and already approved of it. I walked in looking like an unsure little bearded boy who Googles "barbers near me". I walked out looking like a man with a plan. With places to be, things to see, and people to do. Would I recommend Nirvana Barber Studio you ask?... Does a one legged duck swim in a circle? Is there a mustache in Mexico?? Does Dolly Parton sleep on her back??? Five Stars! Highly recommend!!

Justin did my haircut and beard trim this morning and did an amazing job! He took his time and did exactly what I asked for. I highly recommend! #knoxville #barber #haircut #beard

Chris Bolton is a very talented barber! We trusted him with my husbands dread removal process and he did an outstanding job. Chris was even accommodating to our three littles (we had 3 under 4 🤪) he turned on Disney movies and gave them snacks 12/10 recommend him if you’re in the Knoxville area !
