My Great And Good Friend has been after me to try The Beauty Shop in Cooper-Young:
The Beauty Shop Restaurant
Their description of themselves does make it intriguing:
Quote:
“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.

Pictures at the website, if you want to get an idea of the vibe before you take the plunge.
The upside and downside of a visit, in my mind, is the location. Cooper-Young is a great neighborhood, but parking (especially at peak times like weekend evenings) can be a real bitch...
