Gould's is a local Salon Spa. I got my hair cut at Gould's downtown and get my nails clipped.

I had a shampoo and style blowout by Connor. Amazing! I was in town for a wedding and I wanted to look my best. Thanks to Connor I looked great. The salon is nice and I did not have to wait for my appointment. People in Memphis, you have a gem in your downtown! read more

Great location, great service. Definitely will come back. I fell asleep during all 3 of services. However, this does not go against any of the 3 beautiful young women that provided a service to me, but Goulds, management, upper management, the rooms are not clean!!! Baseboards are dusty, lined with dirty and other peoples hair, walls are filmed with yellow film during my massage and other people's hair sheddings are on the robs and inside the tote bags. One should never walk in a bathroom and see the inside of the toilet rimmed with dried splashes of feces while I'm changing back into my clothes. I had to pee and did not feel comfortable because of how unclean it was. Again the women and the service was absolutely fantastic however the conditions of the building is not up to par. Maybe hire another cleaning service because dust on base boards and film on walls ain't it. A star for only my 3 wonderful young ladies that gave me outstanding service. I can't give this place more than 3. read more

I typically get my hair done at another salon, but I was in the mood for a good summer chop, so I booked a last-minute appointment at Gould's Salon Downtown! While the methods were a bit unconventional - no shampoo + she cut my hair very quickly without even brushing it - I was happy with the end result! Overall a nice, pretty salon with incredibly cheap prices for a quick haircut. read more

Destany gave me the best manicure/pedicure I routinely get them and this was the best. read more

Sadly I really wanted to like this place but...staff was great and friendly. Place was clean and conveniently located. I got a blow out service and never had someone blow dry my hair the way they did. I knew it would frizz up and i asked if she can go through the roots better and she "attempted". I do have thick hair and by the walk back to the hotel well I had to re -blow dry my own hair! read more

Very disappointed. The massage was the worst I'd ever had. The rubbing was unpleasant. I mentioned to Jamie she said it was the oil and the area I pointed was hot. I told her it didn't feel like enough oil and she offer me to pay more for a different oil in I thought wouldn't make a difference so I declined. I ended the massage. She says she let her manger know. Once she approached after I waited Her demeanor gave off she could care less. She she refund half but the refund wasn't half so I just left in disappointment. read more

A solid 3.5 stars. This review is on the massage services only! I had an appointment on a Sunday for a relaxation massage. The place texted me 4 times to remind me of this appointment. It's easy to find on the corner of the street. Near the trolly. Upon entering staff were friendly. You complete a mini sheet with standard information and then we were taken back to our rooms. The masseuse I had had a very dramatic personality where she talked way to much and appeared to regret her statements several times. She did a good job with the massage. It appeared to be cleaned and we didn't have to wait for our appointments. You may get rushed out and it may not be a super relaxing experience. Someone was celebrating a milestone and the ladies friends were loud, but they were having fun. read more

I had a terrible experience today. I booked a couples massage for me and my husband and I checked the box that said we wanted the same time in the same room. When we get there I was told someone else had half of the couples room so we couldn't have it. We were put in separate rooms with mine being right by the restroom. So while trying to have a relaxing massage I had to listen to the toilet flushing several times, doors slamming, people going up and down the stairs and people standing outside the door talking loudly. I finally told the lady giving me the massage that I was done way before my time was finished. It definitely was not relaxing. When we get to the check out I told the girl about the horrible experience and that we were supposed to be in the same room. She said well, for future reference, we don't do couples massages here anymore. I told her it was on the website and it said we could be in the same room at the same time. She just said well that kind of stuff doesn't come to us and was kind of smart about it. We will not ever be going back to Gould's again. If they are not going to honor the couples massage, then they should not have it on the website. I would give them a 0 if I could. read more

Came for a deep tissue massage with Nik who had a uniquely lazy technique of pinching and poking with little effect. Throughout the massage Nik listened to a podcast which was audible to me so rather distracting. He did not check in once on comfort or pressure and showed up 20 minutes after the start time. The spa was clean and the front desk was helpful. read more

Conveniently located downtown and open on Sundays this establishment works for me. Unfortunately, staff turnover is very high so if you find someone you like they may not be there next time. $35 for a men's haircut a little more pricey but it is super convenient so it is worth it for me. read more

Everyone was so welcoming & nice from the front desk to hair, nails & eyebrows. Dawn was amazing!

Had heat damage and was needing a good cut and treatment. Renee did a phenomenal job, cut off my split ends and left my hair looking very healthy and restored. I was in and out in about a hour! Will definitely be back! Great service! read more

Loved this place. Dawn was so wonderful. Perfect pedicure! Lovely and clean salon. Gracious people!

This review is about a 3 weeks late, but thought it warranted a review. I was a walk-in and paired up with Miss Brenda. Very much out of the norm for myself, but desperate for a haircut. The outside looked inviting and located conveniently within walking distance to the trolley. Brenda did a great job on my fine blond hair. She was engaging and took her time even though I was slotted in. All staff very friendly. I'd definitely consider returning if in Memphis again. $45 for haircut and blowdry. read more

My wife and I were there today for massages.  My wife had Mia who kept her earbuds in and sang during the massage. Ironically, Mia told her she  must silence her phone and leave it in the chair (which was the plan), yet her phone provided her with tunes. As a result she didn't communicate  with or ask my wife about her preferences, how the pressure was, etc. she also made her keep her mask on during the massage which was strange to us. My wife, who is not one to criticize, was very unhappy with the experience. This rating is based on her massage. I had Caty who was very sweet and did a good job. read more

I wanted to go from my very dark brown to silver. It's a process, which I understand. But the stylist who did my hair was new and had never done this process before. She left it on too long and completely fried my hair. It is totally porous and Not able to be saved. I have to sit years until my hair grows out. Don't do hair bleaching is you legit don't know how to do it. Do a strand test if you need to. This damage is devastating. read more

My daughter and I are visiting Memphis for a birthday getaway. At 8 am when we arrived into town we grabbed coffee and decided to take a chance on getting a massage. Gould's spa took our call requesting spa treatments that day. Miraculously, two appointments were available at 11am for both of us. Terri did my daughters facial and exceeded her expectations! Kirsten was the massage therapist that gave me a superb reflexology massage. This is a top notch spa, very efficient, clean, friendly, professional and prices were on the lower side of what we pay in Chicago area. Make sure to book an appointment while in Memphis!. read more

Review past due on the horrible service I received on two weeks ago. I'm still waiting for the stylist to contact me back. I went in for a hair color on my dark natural hair. My first disappointment was I was NOT told my appointment was blocked for only an hour and half due to covid-19 precautions until I was getting shampooed. An hour and a half later, I left with wet short hair with reddish orange blonde highlights. My color clearly had not been allowed to sit long enough. First, she trimmed my hair too short and uneven. Second, I have never left a hair salon with unstyled hair. Third, I paid too much money for a hair disaster that Renee, the stylist, could have tried to fix if she has blocked more time. But yet I was rushed out of her chair to allow her next customer to come inside the salon. She never even offered me time to come back. So disappointed. My hair still looks a mess. read more

Really enjoyed my spa morning here. Linda's massage was awesome and cleared out my sinuses (seriously!). She was open and communicative and just what my knotted-up muscles needed. My mani/pedi with Stacey was equally delightful. She did an amazing job and I enjoyed our conversation. (I'm saying this as a massive introvert who is usually silent during these treatments. She's the perfect mix of chatty and quiet and nothing ever felt forced.) Will definitely be back. (Only took away a star bc of the facilities. They're very good, some areas are just a little more worn than others.) read more

I am traveling by car and stopped in Memphis for 2 days. I have a party to attend when I get back home. My nails are a mess and I won't have time for a mani before the party. I walked past this salon and thought it looked like a safe place to get my nails done, so I made an appt for 8am the next am. We were leaving town early. I walked there in the train and sat, waiting for 15 min for my appt. the girl never showed up, the woman behind the desk said nothing to me. Only after I asked her if the manicurist was coming did she tell me she was running late. By now it was 8:15. I left. What a joke. read more

I went into Gould's for a polish change on my Gel acrylics. The front desk let me know I'd have to wait over an hour which I was fine with. When I arrived, I met with Martha who almost instantly told me she couldn't be of help. I wanted my nail color to be pure black instead of blue black, as well as a slight file IF possible to make my nails a bit more pointed. When I asked for both these things, Martha suggested I leave and go somewhere else because she "only does manicures and pedicures" and thought I was asking too much. I reluctantly told her to go ahead and just put a coat of black on because I'd already waited for so long. I was charged 12 dollars for a coat of black on my nails. When I walked out into the light I immediately realized she left air bubbles in two of my nails and reshaped one nail into an awkward lump yet still charged me and talked to me very rude at first. read more

Thank you for the hospitality and friendliness always shown at the front desk reception. I appreciate the professionalism of all the stylists at this location. I frequently book online for services as I love the convenience either by using iPad or mobile. There's one service that I always try to book the same personnel- I'd like to acknowledge Renee she's fantastic! Renee gives the best shampoos and she listens to her clients intently. Keep up the great work! Special mentions to these two professionals Fannie & Rachelle for keeping my pedicure & manicure on point when I can get in appointment. Both Fannie & Rachelle take pride and detail in their work. If your new to Memphis or local and in need of salon/spa treatment. I'd recommend Downtown Goulds its simply amazing!! read more

Ariana at the downtown Gould's (S.Main)location is amazing. My color and color goal were challenging. She kindly took these challenges,both of my highly multi processed hair and the color goal I was trying to achieve, like a freaking superhero... to say the least. She was patient and did a thorough, gorgeous job on my hair. Basically, I had been transforming my hair from brunette to blonde since March. It's been through several processes. Several. She gave me exactly what I had been to achieve. She's awesome, talented,and genuinely loves her work. Color genius!! So glad I found her! read more

William!! Darn!! My hair is gorgeous. You are gorgeous. I love the color and feel of my hair. I cannot say enough except thank you so much. I also would like to thank the front staff for their excellent customer service and getting me an appointment so quickly. See you in six weeks!!!! :) read more

AMAZING! Miss Renee cut my hair, I asked for curtain bangs and long layers and she DELIVERED! Literally the haircut I've been needing. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Just did a conditioning an cut with Emma (@emmavailbeauty), and she was great! Really nice and kind person. I always get worried that stylists will cut my hair too short, but she listened to exactly what I wanted and made it happen! She made me feel gorgeous and my hair feel so soft :) read more

Emma is amazing! she has colored and cut My hair multiple times. :) she is very talented, and professional.

The best massage! This was my first massage at Gould's, and it was wonderful! Matt was my massage therapist - I highly recommend him. I've had a couple of bad experiences with male massage therapists in the past (super hairy arms scratching my back being notably the worst), but I have zero complaints about my entire experience today! Pros: - I was able to snag an appointment the same day I called - you only have to arrive ~7 minutes early to fill out 1 piece of paper - all of the staff was very friendly - massage lasted the full hour - environment (music/lighting) was relaxing - minimal talking during the massage (I hate it when the therapist wants to play 20 questions during your massage, like get outta here I want to relax, not answer Qs about my job, hobbies, whatever) - they have a package where you can save $$ if you like to get massages regularly read more

I like all of the stylists at this location, but usually Alana cuts my hair. Super nice and never makes me feel rushed. I know men's haircuts are not exactly the hardest but I have had some bad cuts. I would definitely recommend Goulds Downtown for a guy's haircut. read more

Had an amazing haircut from Lester. He was professional and listened intently on my request and delivered. The other staff were all friendly. Great vibes and would definitely recommend this place for a men's haircut. read more

Missed up an appointment after I came back the time I was told . The acted unapologetic about it. Very unprofessional. Better salons around read more

Went to get a massage by Victoria the younger african american woman. Clearly she wasn't in the mood to work. Constantly left out the room and told me she needed to use the bathroom, which is something you'd think she would take care of before starting. She had an attitude the whole time. The bathrooms downstair had "poop stains" in the toilet. The nail tech Anne was discombobulate. Couldn't stop running her mouth and ended up letting the water over flow which caused my shoes to get ruined during the pedicure. This place is a fucking joke! read more

Best spas day I ever had!! Everyone was friendly and went above and beyond. Massage was amazing, facial was excellent and mani/pedi was fantastic. Would definitely go back and recommend giving it a try. read more

I'm just in town for the week. I've come here twice already. It's cute. It's clean. The first time they got me in right away. I got my hair blown out by Lena. Love it. Love her! It was a 5 star experience to be honest! Dropped in again, this time for a 30 minute massage. Hoping for a foot massage but that didn't exactly work out. No worries. (I think they said there wasn't a person available who was just certified for the feet.) So instead I opted for a head/neck/shoulders/jaw massage. I put a lot of emphasis on the Jaw part since I have a show in an hour and I sing 8 times a week in different cities for work. Sometimes I just want to make sure it's nice and loose. I'd like to emphasize again how much emphasis I put on having my jaw rubbed. About half of my 30 minute session was spent on my back. And some great work was done on my lower back. Which is very nice. She did a great job on that, but I was there for one reason: my Jaw. Eventually she worked her way up to my shoulders. It all felt very nice but the whole time I was thinking, it would be nice if she worked on my jaw. We had talked about it. And I tried to mention it during the massage. Fortunately, she did rubbed my jaw, but by the time she got there... Time was up. If it were just a general massage, it would have been MORE than fine. She's great! But I was pretty specific with what I needed today...and I didn't have my needs met. read more

Alana is awesome! She really takes the time on your hair and make it absolutely perfect - even when it's just a cut. Prices are the same as other salons. Hair is healthier then ever!!! Salon is taking precautions with Covid and I truly appreciate it - all associates wear masks, disposable aprons, sanitizing seat, and take your temperature upon arrival. Highly recommend Alana and this salon !! read more

I was visiting Memphis for a conference, and decided to get a haircut/color at this place. I'm glad I did because Alana did an excellent job! She tried out this new technique she learned to give me shorter layers, and I liked it! It kept the length and added volume. Thanks, Alana! read more

Great customer service!! Lina is the best! She did a great job with my hair. I will definitely be back!

I've been a Goulds client for over 5 years. I've never had a problem until May 4th, 2018. I asked Renee, who is a senior associate/manager at the Memphis Goulds Downtown Main St, to color my hair balayge blonde. I showed her about 3 different pictures of how I wanted it and a picture of me with blonde hair previously, so that was how I wanted it done. I also have clip in extensions that I apply to my hair daily that I wanted to be colored with my hair as well. I told her I was coming in with my hair already clipped in so she could see which piece went where. They are extremely easy to take in and out. She seemed as if she knew what she was doing because she said that she's been doing hair for 35 years. She left the clip ins in my hair and started bleaching my hair. I figured she knew what she was doing, because you're supposed to take them out then apply the bleach on them. So as she's doing my hair I'm curious to know how shes doing it because I'm very particular about my hair. Once I saw her take a peek at the foil to see how it was turning out I already knew she didn't do it how I wanted. Later on I noticed she didn't put blonde everywhere in the back like I wanted in the picture that I showed her. She basically did her own thing to my hair and told me that I didn't want the blonde to be overwhelming and got an attitude. Obviously I want it that way when I showed you pictures of how I wanted it to be and I've had it before!! At this point I'm irritated because this service is very expensive and I want it to be done right. She keeps telling me that it'll come out pretty and that she can't believe I don't trust her, but I already see it not coming out how I want it to. Not to mention she used a high volume bleach on my natural fine hair! I told her before that I didn't need a high volume on my hair or the weave but she did it anyway and told me I don't know anything about hair, uhhh obviously SHE didn't know. Now my hair looks fried and there's blonde in random spots, my hair is almost white, and now my expensive clip ins are all damaged, so now I'm out of money for the hair that I bought and she still made me pay for the horrible service she did. I just wanted to cry. I told her I'm not paying full price because this is not what I wanted. She said that I would have to pay something and I said that's fine but I'm not paying full price because this isn't worth it. I don't care how much the bleach cost, the job was horrible. I didn't even let her style it because it was so bad. The weave was blonde, gold, and brown and had a messy ombre look to it. She kept saying, look once you blow dry it it'll look better. I said no it won't! My hair is ruined! She said she would fix it, but she already used a high volume bleach on all my hair and it would just fall out! She kept using this lame excuse for why it came out like that! I missed out on an event because I'm so ashamed of my hair, and now I have to spend more money trying to get it fixed and this is just unacceptable!! Renee even called the cops because I refused to pay the whole amount. I'm just so disappointed in Renee I will never go back to her or a Goulds ever again! read more

Gould's Salon Spa - Downtown - Hair Salons Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

I really enjoy this salon / spa downtown. It is within walking distance of a lot of apartments / hotels in northern downtown, which is extremely convenient for me. When I've had last minute needs I have always booked an appointment with a salon / spa employee within the same day. I've had multiple haircuts and a pedicure here. I originally thought the pedicure station may be out in the open, but it was actually off in the back. I'd highly recommend this salon / spa for great service, staff, and ease. Debbie and Turquoise are awesome! read more
