Beauty Shop Reviews |
"Beauty Shop," then, is a bunch of black chicks sitting around talking. The one thing that can be said in its favor is that it does not evoke the cliche of movie producers, scripters and directors, "The story of a woman who experiences an epiphany which changes her life forever." [read review] C-
The story is for the most part useless and thin. The pilot of a failed sitcom. The sisterhood is powerful type of thing. If you’re a guy you won’t like it too much, and if you’re not black you’ll like it even less. This has a very limited audience and ifyou’re not part of the target you might as well save your money. [read review] 
Fans of Barbershop will probably find Beauty Shop a bit inferior, and it is, but there's fun to be had here. Beauty Shop is light, breezy comedy at its best, a good flick to catch quickly on one of these few rainy days before spring. [read review] 
--Jack Moore (The Movie Insider)
Don't get me wrong, there are some funny scenes in this movie, mainly when Bacon is on the screen. It's just that this is no "Barbershop". I also loved Gina's "you go girl don't give up" attitude. [read review] 
With an excellent ensemble headed by Queen Latifah, the warm, funny, empowering (and estrogen-drenched) "Beauty Shop" is a cut above what you'd expect from the spinoff of a sequel. [read review]
--Lou Lumenick (New York Post)
"Beauty Shop" doesn't shout at us, not even when catastrophe strikes; it's more about choosing a goal, being confident you can get there, and having some fun along the way. [read review] 
--Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times)
You may not find a whole lot that's fresh here, but Gina and her colleagues make for a modestly enjoyable experience. Besides, you won't have to fret about how much to tip. [read review] C+
It's amusing, as such diversions can be. But if "Beauty Shop" is to be welcomed as a franchise, it will need funnier characters speaking more incisively. [read review]
“Beauty Shop” succeeds in getting us to like, and even care for its characters. For a light, flighty comedy, this is a job well done. [read review]
Although the Queen and her entourage invigorate an unimaginative screenplay, Beauty Shop is better saved for DVD and a bad hair day. [read review] 
While this Barbershop spin-off is rather clunky and unfunny, its cast has enough personality to make it surprisingly entertaining. [read review]
If the film isn't sheer bliss, at least it's a cut above the average. Ultimately, it's Latifah who gives style to "Beauty Shop." [read review] 
Combine ingredients, mix well, and what you have is an extremely generic and lackluster big-screen sitcom-slash-romance. [read review]
Beauty Shop nevertheless hits some dry patches. But the film’s genial, blow-dry attitude keeps things from going astray. [read review]
--Marjorie Baumgarten (Austin Chronicle)
This is a first: A spin-off being superior to the franchise from whence it spun. [read review]
--Fred Topel (MovieWeb)
