Goulds Day Spa and Salons: Poplar Plaza Update

About Us

In 1932, Sam Gould opened a small hair salon with the objective of creating salons that offered upscale ambiance, superior customer service as well as unsurpassed professional salon services.

Today, Philip and David Gould own and operate 12 locations in Memphis and Olive Branch. More than 75 years after the first salon opened its doors, over 350 Gould's employees study to stay current with and receive training in the most fashion forward looks for men and women. Stylists consult with clients about their goals and desires for style, color and texture.

Gould's opened the first Day Spa in 1998, extending services from complete hair care to total body care. A complete menu of services at each of the 5 Spa locations offers a range of body treatments, massages, facials, nail care, and other specialized beauty and cosmetic services such as Laser Hair Removal and Permanent Makeup.

Gould's Exchange, another division of Gould's salons, offers complete hair care services at reduced prices. It provides a tremendous resource for new stylists, allowing them the opportunity to work alongside Gould's highly trained staff.

Along with Awards, Gould's enjoys the emotional rewards from helping others.
