Before opening as a full-service salon in 2008 co-owners and founders, Melanie and Danielle, were deciding on what they wanted to name their salon. They landed on Surreal Beauty—a name that symbolizes equality and a dream realized.

"It just made everyone equal," Melanie shares. "A customer walks in without knowing who the owner is, and we love hearing them ask about the story behind our name." The journey of two Nashville natives, meeting almost 20 years ago, chasing their passion, and opening a salon—it all felt, in their words, truly Surreal.

We’ve cherished being part of our clients’ beauty journeys. Whether it’s a special event, wedding, award show, or just a day you want to feel extra glamorous, we’re here to be your go-to glam squad. We can’t wait to see you in the chair!

“We are inspired by each individual that we work with and love taking an organic approach when creating one's image but also have fun being creative when someone unexpectedly asks for vivid colors. We find it exciting to be spontaneous. We may develop the look and shape of the hair as we go along ... but of course, there is always a concept and a sense of direction based on the initial consultation. In many cases, the creative direction can surface when we pick up on something the individual says or does during our conversation.”
