Critic Reviews

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Though rooted in broad stereotypes and sassy platitudes, the film's feisty cast and generally sunny outlook make for warm and reassuring comfort viewing, the equivalent of a straight-from-the-box dish of mac and cheese. Read full review

Steven Rea

Despite all the stock characters and scenarios, Fox and company manage to bring things to life. And cut some hair. Read full review

Sid Smith

The main problem with the movie is the by now shopworn nature of its setting. Been there, snipped it. Though dating from venerable material, The Salon turns out to be one haircut too many. Read full review

Jeannette Catsoulis

A tiresome blend of overacting and underwriting, The Salon moves from one predictable conversation to another -- the lack of available black men, the wondrousness of Bill Clinton -- without originality or comic rhythm. Read full review

Ruthe Stein

Save the price of admission to this dull retread and go have your hair done. Read full review

Julia Wallace

Where's Al Sharpton's decency parade when you need it? Read full review

Kyle Smith

A feeble dramedy about a Baltimore beauty shop where someone should come in to sweep up the clichés. Read full review
