Enjoy!

Rodney, tell us more about yourself

I’m the owner of the Rodney Mitchell Salon, and have always had a passion for helping people and always wanted to be the star that I was born to be.

When I first came to Nashville, I had a dream of working with the biggest names in town. It’s safe to say I’ve made this dream come true having worked with celebrities such as Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and Tanya Tucker. Plus I’ve had the honor of working with the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.

What will clients experience visiting Rodney Mitchell Salon?

My salons have been around for over 25 years and our current location is nestled in Music Row and a walk away from Vanderbilt University. We are a full-service salon but specialize in color.

We pride ourselves on our friendliness and complimentary bloody marys! (Which we’ve made in-house for over 20 years) Our salon offers a modern vibe with the perfect amount of warmth that makes you want to stay all day!

What specialties does Rodney Mitchell Salon offer?

We have teamed up with Invigorate Health and they offer top facial treatments, Botox, and filler all at the salon. This makes us a one-stop shop for all of your beauty needs!

What is your number one tip for a happy, healthy hair and beauty routine?

At-home care is so important! Using a shampoo and conditioner that is curated to your hair needs and products that prolong your color and hair integrity are at the forefront of a healthy hair and beauty routine.

What Nashville hair, beauty, and fashion trends are you seeing right now?

Curtain bangs have been HUGE at the salon lately. It’s the perfect way to experience bangs and texture in your hair without making the big jump into straight-across bangs. Nashville is going crazy for them!

What hair and beauty products do you think should be in everyone’s day-to-day routine?

For our blonde clients, we always recommend K18 at-home care to maintain hair health after lightening services. Aside from that, getting a good hydrating shampoo and conditioner such as the Kevin Murphy hydrate me wash and rinse, will work wonders for your hair.

Some clients think their hair is damaged but in fact it just needs a little moisture!

Beyond Rodney Mitchell Salon, who else would you like to give some love to?

We love shopping at our local store “Smack” owned by Rob Wei! He sells vintage clothing and has styled some prestigious celebrities for major events here in Nashville.

Who is your all-time hair, beauty, and style icon?

The only correct answer is Dolly Parton. She has done so much for our community, all while having the best hair and outfits!

Which current celebrity or public figure is getting it so right with their hair, beauty, and styling?

Jacob Elordi! He has that perfect hairstyle that always looks so effortless, not to mention his impeccable sense of style.

Is there anything else you’d like to share with our SalonOtter readers?

We as a team believe hair is just the start of looking and feeling your best, we put our best foot forward every day and treat people with kindness and compassion. Beauty goes beyond the surface and when you look good and act good, nothing can hold you back!
