Memphis has 73 salons in our directory, and the depth here is in texture work: braids, locs, and protective styles are the most widely offered services in the city. Ratings run strong — the citywide average is 4.68 stars — and about 62% of listed salons take online booking.
Where Memphis runs deepest: braids, locs, and protective styles
Of the 73 salons listed, 19 handle braids, 19 offer locs, and 19 take protective-style appointments — the three best-represented services in the Memphis directory. One caution as you browse: a service tag means the work happens at that salon, not that it's the shop's specialty. Once you've filtered to salons that offer what you need, look at recent photos or a salon's Instagram to confirm they do the specific style you're after.
Everyday salon work is nearly as easy to find. Women's cuts, styling, men's cuts, fades, and blowouts are each offered at 18 salons, and 17 handle beard trims. Weaves and extensions are a bit thinner on the ground, at 13 salons each — worth shortlisting early if that's your service, since your options are fewer.
The booking and rating landscape
About 62% of Memphis salons in the directory accept online booking. That matters most for braids, locs, and weave installs, where appointments run long and calendars fill ahead — if a salon books online, grab a slot rather than waiting on a callback. For the rest, a phone call or a message through the salon's social account is the way in.
Ratings are nearly universal here: 97% of listed salons have a public rating, and the average sits at 4.68 stars. When scores cluster that high, the number alone won't separate your top choices. Weight the review volume behind the score, and read a few recent reviews that mention the service you're actually booking.
How to use this directory
Start with the service, not the salon. Filter to the work you need — say, locs or a fade — then narrow by neighborhood or zip so the commute doesn't decide for you. From your shortlist, check whether each salon books online and what its reviews say about the specific service.
For bigger commitments like a loc install, long braids, or a full weave, ask for a quick consult first. Confirm how long the appointment runs, how you should arrive (hair washed and blown out, or not), and who supplies the hair. A salon that answers those questions clearly before you sit down is usually one that runs its chair well too.
