Editorial Review:
The Salon stars Vivica A. Fox (Jenny) as the inheritor of a neighborhood beauty salon. Jenny is being forced to sell her shop to the Department of Water and Power (DWP) due to eminent domain. She has not told the other tenants in the salon and is trying to build a case to save the shop. The DWP is represented by a hot shot attorney (Darrin Dewitt Henson) who takes a liking to her and a romance begins. This is a fresh look on the inside of a salon where anything can happen.
The Salon Reviews:
Overall, Historically Beautiful! 
2009-08-28 - The Salon was very great. Kym Whitley and Vivica A. Fox did a great performance. However, I felt that it could of been maybe a sequel, especially discussing what happenss with Monica Calhoun's character ordeal with her husband. But overall, HISTORICALLY BEAUTIFUL.
The Salon 
2009-03-13 - Vivica Fox... is a very good actress... too bad she took this role... jokes a little funny... the fightin woman... typical... not enopugh storyline to hold a anyone's attention for too long..
Needs an originality transplant
2009-02-21 - This movie was just a remake of BarberShop minus the spouse. I could go into details but all you have to do is watch Barbershop and you see the same movie. The discussions about social issues, relationship problems, little business versus the corporate giant, even the dance scene. It's all there. I love the actors - especially Monica Calhoun - but this is simply a rehash of a movie from years ago. I honestly expected better from Vivica Fox. Not in terms of acting, but in terms of a movie to be in.
ANOTHER HAIR SALON MOVIE 
2008-12-31 - JENNY IS BEING FORCED TO SELL HER SHOP TO THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER AND POWER DUE TO THE EMINENT DOMAIN, AND MUST ACCEPT THE MONEY SHE IS OFFERED. YET REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL ADVICE SHE RECIEVES, SHE REFUSES TO LET THE GIANT ORGANIZATION TAKE ONE REMAINING PILLAR OF HER INNER CITY NEIGHBORHOOD, DECIDING INSTEAD TO TAKE ON THE DWP IN COURT. A CLASSIC TALE OF THE UNDERDOG, THE SALON IS A FRESH LOOK AT THE INSIDE OF A SALON AND THE INNER CITY NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE THE UNEXPECTED HAPPENS. ENJOY THE RIDE AT...THE SALON, WHERE YOU GO TO GET MORE THAN JUST A HAIRCUT.
not worth a 2 year wait
2008-11-29 - If you've seen Barber shop 1 and 2 dont even waste your time with this mess. I first got wind of this movie in 2005 and heard it was better than beauty shop and hair show, well it wasnt, at least those both were original, this took bits and pieces from every black small budget movie. It was ok, but not great, nothing to rush out and buy, I'd strongly recomend renting this before buying it.
