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.

    We went to The Beauty Shop for my birthday plus my wife’s sister was in town and this is one of our favorite restaurants. My wife and her sister both had Barramundi, my wife’s go to dish. I had the Daily Cut which was a ribeye with fingerling potatoes. As usual, the food and service were excellent. We also had Sangrias. We will continue to dine here again and again and take friends, family and out of town visitors.

    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.
