Bouffant Beauty Salon is one of Dunlap, Tennessee’s most enduring small businesses, lovingly operated by Anna Faye Heard for more than 63 years. Established in the early 1960s, the salon is more than a place to get your hair done—it is a living piece of Sequatchie County history.
Known for classic styling, personal relationships, and a welcoming atmosphere, Bouffant Beauty Salon reflects a time when beauty care was deeply personal. With hooded dryers, teasing combs, and long conversations, the salon has served multiple generations of families, becoming a trusted space for milestones ranging from proms and weddings to final services at the funeral home.
Often described as the “mother church” of local hairstyling, Bouffant Beauty Salon has trained over 30 stylists who went on to open salons throughout the region. It remains a place where customers come not just for styling, but for encouragement, prayer, and connection.
