Our Story

At Salon Mercury Knox, hair is more than a service — it’s a form of self-expression, identity, and empowerment. Founded by stylist Carmen Rushing in July 2019, our salon was built from the ground up as a space where creativity, inclusivity, and trust comes first.
 

Located in the heart of Knoxville, TN, we’re here for anyone and everyone who wants a little help to be able to walk through the world confidently as themselves.


Whether you're embracing your natural texture, experimenting with color, or planning your next big transformation, our team is here to support you every step of the way.

​

Our stylists specialize in vivid color, blonding, extensions, and alternative cuts — but even more than that, we specialize in people. We’re proudly LGBTQIA2S+ and neurodivergent-friendly, and deeply committed to creating an affirming, positive salon experience for all.

​​

You’ll feel it when you walk through the door — the energy is warm, lively, and totally judgment-free. We’re your hype team, your hair nerds, and your collaborators. Let’s make something magical together!
