While the men of Barbershop and Barbershop 2 have plenty to mouth off about, they may have met their match in the female staff and clientele of a nearby beauty shop.

Directed by Bille Woodruff, Beauty Shop revolves around these women led by Gina (Queen Latifah), who opened Beauty Shop to give all the females in the community, from a conservative Southern socialite (Andie MacDowell) to a poetry-reciting stylist, a place to talk about life, love, and the issues of the day, all while getting their hair done. Bryce Wilson puts in a supporting performance, as does Kevin Bacon, who plays the snooty owner of a rival salon. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
As in the other two movies, the plot is a thin cardboard box carrying an assortment of observational doughnuts.
-
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
I thought this was too much like the pilot for a sitcom.
-
Joe Leydon, Variety
Feel-good entertainment that is no less enjoyable for being somewhat predictable.
-
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
It's a bouncy, funny picture that I enjoyed -- one that mostly eludes the perils of sequelitis and spinoff-itis, a lusty comedy about the importance of looking good and getting the right scissors in the right hands.
-
Jennifer Frey, Washington Post
Latifah is, well, Latifah playing herself -- funny, brash, smart, likable and not willing to take any garbage from anyone.
