Critics Consensus

Painfully relevant without being heavy-handed, Huda's Salon isn't fully prepared to answer all the questions it raises, but it works well enough as a thriller.

Huda’s Salon goes deeper and gets more metaphorical in dealing with espionage and the concomitant compromises and betrayals.

Awad is particularly superb... Even when you don’t believe the movie she’s in, you believe her entirely.

Huda’s Salon ... is an impatient film working in a genre where sometimes patience is the key.

4/5

In a brisk and efficient -- even slightly rushed -- 91 minutes, Huda's Salon lays out a story of women at war that will stay with you. Very recommended.

Overall, I felt this movie was entertaining with a good storyline. The acting was very good. It might be a little too violent for some.
