t all started in 1955 when Paul Devitt discovered the forty-year old 'Thomas Beauty Salon' and transformed the space into a unique concept: the first joint to offer customers a martini and manicure at the same time. Enter Beauty Bar today and you'll find hip lads and lasses sipping potent cocktails while getting styled. Beauty Bar still has most of its original 1950's salon attire and brilliant chandeliers.

Perhaps the beauty bar concept, so promising in theory, is a thing of the past but at $10 for a martini and manicure, maybe Beauty Bar is still a hopeful endeavor.
