The Salon Ratings & Reviews
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
I've seen porn with better dialogue and SNL sketches with less amateur production values.
Apollo Guide
Brian Webster
Not funny enough, romantic enough, or serious enough to succeed as a comedy, romance or urban issues drama.
Baltimore Sun
Chris Kaltenbach
The movie includes a few good one-liners, but that's really all it is -- a forum for putdowns and sassy dialogues.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
John Beifuss
The movie was shot more than three years before its release, and it shows, as when the salon's resident golddigger says: "Anna Nicole Smith -- I aspire to be just like her."
AV Club
Tasha Robinson
At least Norbit tried to come up with fresh new awfulness instead of idling in these familiar old ruts.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
After scripting both Barbershops, writer-director Mark Brown appears to have exhausted his ability to create new and interesting characters to inhabit The Salon.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Despite all the stock characters and scenarios, Fox and company manage to bring things to life. And cut some hair.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
A feeble dramedy about a Baltimore beauty shop where someone should come in to sweep up the clichs.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Given that Brown wrote the significantly superior Barbershop, he should know that when you make a socially conscious comedy, you've got to weave in plenty of wit alongside the wisdom.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Ordoña
This movie abruptly becomes a too-convenient black history lesson, complete with a truly egregious deus ex machina. The Salon is a cut below.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
Like a perm that won't grow away, it's stuck in the race-comedy mold of Barbershop, Barbershop 2 and Beauty Shop. Been there, done that hair.
Detroit News
Tom Long
This is one of those films where everything simply feels wrong, from the clunky dialogue to the obvious staging.
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
The movie is a little windy and over-the-top, and the gossipy references to J-Lo and Anna Nicole Smith are woefully outdated.
Chicago Sun-Times
Paige Wiser
Everything about it is whompingly (whoopingly?) obvious, from the hit-you-over-the-head narration to the tidy ending.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
The Salon had any genuine sass clipped out of it to fit a PG-13 rating.
Chicago Tribune
Sid Smith
The main problem with the movie is the by now shopworn nature of its setting.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
The comic equivalent of microwaved leftover food -- and pretty stale at that.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
Good-natured but curiously flat, a bottle of root beer that's lost its fizz.
The Hollywood Reporter
Duane Byrge
This girl-talk comedy is a cut below its predecessors.
Village Voice
Julia Wallace
Writer-director Mark Brown, he of the Barbershop franchise, also has an inexplicable fondness for close-ups that cut off the tops of the actors' heads -- unfortunate in a movie about hair.
