About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for brunch
“Look Good. Eat Good.” are the words emblazoned on the front windows at the Beauty Shop. This hip and trendy restaurant in the Cooper-Young district of midtown Memphis does both, as it conjures up images of a ‘50s-style beauty shop, formerly Priscilla Presley’s curl-and-dye spot. It’s a camp wonderland where the façade is Jetsons-era Vitrolite, and choice seating is offered beneath hooded Belvedere hair dryers.

Nostalgia is served with a sense of humor here. The beauty shop flashback comes complete with original mint green wash basins filling in as sinks behind the hand built bar, made of tiger maple wood. The terrazzo floor is original. Glass brick stalls serve as intimate booths. Mixed with the retro renderings are modern touches such as hand-blown art-glass lights, and glamorous copper and silver-leaf walls.

    There’s no quality control on the food. Truffle fries were cold, Carnitas were dried and burnt and crispy. Duck appetizer was not crispy soggy skin. The prices are very expensive for the quality of food you received.

    Great neighborhood- friendly people, staff was pushed with only 2 n the floor- some interesting combinations in the food, soup was cold and staff pressed, should have asked for a hot serving- delicious monkey bread- good overall , a bit of an off night

    This is a very wonderful place to go for Brunch. Emma and Sophia were delightful and made the experience catching up with my Friend from High School very special. I ordered and enjoyed the Lemon Ricotta Flapjax with Smoked Apple wood Bacon and seasonal Fruit. The food was tasty, well-made and presented. The ambience was interesting, eclectic, artsy and fun- I loved my seat 'under the hair dryer'!😊🎨🖌️

    We had brunch - lukewarm coffee, average tasting/heavy/lukewarm dishes left us not eager to return. Has always been a special experience in previous visits so I’m not sure what or why the reason for today. No reason to complain, just feedback.
