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.

    My husband and I have been looking forward to eating here for our anniversary as we are visiting Memphis for the first time. Our server wasn’t very happy and we had to track her down to order food, drinks and get our check. The apple salad and bitchin’ Camaros were absolutely delicious. We planned to eat dinner but decided to go :(

    The food and service were excellent. Lots of gluten free options if that matters to you. Noise level is high in outside seating and inside.

    Fun quirky spot. The food was tasty, the service was ok. The menu is comprised of unique combinations that are surprisingly good. The decor was unique/inventive and is a great throwback to the 60s.

    Even better than we remembered! We enjoyed a beautifully prepared meal and the service was fantastic. Definitely plan on dessert. The coconut cake with vanilla bean gelato was the perfect ending. Highly recommend the Beauty Shop.

    My husband & o had a wonderful Sunday brunch in DNDC. We were booked for the front patio, but rain earlier made that impossible. I had the most wonderful pecan waffle & fresh squeezed grapefruit juice. My husband had what he claimed was the first genuine Reuben sandwich he’s had in Memphis (where he’s lived for 43 years!). Our server was awesome - he’d always show up when needed, but he didn’t hover. I’d highly recommend The Beauty Shop to anyone!!

    Food and drinks very good, service from our main server was subpar at best, forgot and late with wine, rude and not friendly and argumentative when asked to verify an allergy situation, we have had this server in the past and similar experience, wish I knew her name so that we can request someone else for our next visit.

    Ate on the patio with dogs for Mother's Day. The restaurant has such a cute concept and a large, unique Sunday brunch menu. We all enjoyed our food. The servers were also friendly and kind. Today was our first visit after hearing good reviews for years, and we're already planning to be back.

    Family took me here for Mother’s Day brunch, just my second visit, and it did not disappoint. One of my new favorite places!! The carefully crafted combination of flavors and textures in every single dish is what sets this place apart — and obviously, the whole beauty shop vibe…. but that’s a given! Sat on the front patio, so didn’t get the whole beauty shop experience this time, but enjoyed the outdoors and lively street scene. Our food took quite a long time on this day, but was well worth the wait! My family loved the Chicken and Waffles, Thai breakfast bowl, French herb omelette, hash browns (which were more like home fries, really), and Tartine (toast with whipped ricotta, pears, honey drizzle and mint). Amazing fresh flavors, all chef-inspired! Cannot wait to return!
