Splash Salon in Chattanooga: Color and Extensions in North Shore
Splash Salon is a full-service hair salon in Chattanooga's North Shore neighborhood that specializes in color work and hair extensions, with a team of stylists offering services from cut and styling to corrective color and balayage.
What Splash Salon actually is
Splash operates as a mid-sized salon with a focus on color transformation and extension installation. The salon works with clients seeking everything from root touch-ups to complete recoloring, as well as those adding length or volume through extensions. It sits between high-volume chain salons and single-stylist independent operations, with multiple stylists available so the salon can handle both walk-ins and appointment clients.
Services and pricing
Splash's service menu ranges across cuts ($45–65), blowouts ($35–50), and color services. Single-process color starts at $65, while balayage and dimensional color work runs $100–200 depending on complexity and hair length. Hair extensions are offered; pricing is available by consultation since cost varies significantly by length, material, and application method. Root touch-ups cost $55–85. The salon also offers styling for events. Prices are subject to change; verify current rates by calling or visiting directly.
How Splash compares to other Chattanooga salons
Splash's extension and color specialty distinguishes it from neighborhood salons like Salon Lofts (Chattanooga), which offers booth rental and a broader mix of stylists with varying specialties, or corporate chains like Great Clips, where color work is available but extensions are not typically offered. If you need extensions or complex color work, Splash's focused expertise is a stronger match than a general-purpose salon. If you're looking for a quick cut or walk-in availability without an appointment, a chain option may be faster.
Who Splash suits and who it does not
Splash works best for clients who have scheduled color appointments, who want to add extensions, or who are comfortable with a slightly longer consultation for custom color matching. The salon is less ideal for people who need a same-day walk-in cut with no wait or who prefer minimal interaction with their stylist. Clients with textured or curly hair should confirm that the stylist they book has relevant experience, as extension application and color placement vary by hair type.
What the first visit involves
On your first visit, plan to arrive 10–15 minutes early for a new-client intake. For color work, your stylist will assess your current hair condition, discuss your desired shade or dimension, and often perform a strand test if you're going significantly lighter or changing to a cool tone. For extensions, expect a consultation about length, volume, blend with your natural hair, and application method. Both appointments are longer than a simple cut; color sessions typically run 2–3 hours, and extensions can take 3–4 hours or more depending on the application technique.
Hours, parking, and logistics
Splash Salon is located in North Shore, the neighborhood east of the Tennessee River. The salon typically operates Tuesday through Saturday; hours and Monday availability should be confirmed directly. Parking is available on-street or in nearby lots typical to the North Shore area. The neighborhood is accessible from downtown Chattanooga via the North Shore Bridge and is minutes from the Riverwalk.
Splash Salon earns its place in Chattanooga's salon landscape by bringing specialized color and extension expertise to North Shore, where clients can book dedicated time for transformative work rather than competing with a high-volume schedule.
