Critic Reviews

  • Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter

    The story here, by Andrea Wiley, Sherri A. McGee and Devon Gregory, is slapped together with such poorly drawn stereotypes and lapses in logic as to provoke not shaking bellies but shaking heads.

  • Scott Foundas, Variety

    An anemic sitcomsitcom pilot dragged out to an excruciating 108-minute running time.

  • Kevin Crust, Los Angeles Times

    The plot is slender but serviceable, and under Leslie Small's attentive direction, not only do Mo'Nique and Smith excel, but those playing salon staffers -- Taraji Henson, Keiko Agena, Cee Cee Michaela et al -- also make lively impressions.

  • Robert Dominguez, New York Daily News

    A predictable urban comedy set mostly in a chichi Beverly Hills beauty salon, Hair Show is a female-oriented Barber Shop -- minus the steady humor and pointed social commentary.

  • Megan Lehmann, New York Post

    The story is so slight, a low-wattage hair dryer could blow it away.
