The Beauty Shop is a lost[1] 1922 American silent comedy film directed by Edward Dillon and written by Doty Hobart based upon the play of the same name by Channing Pollock and Rennold Wolf.

[2][3] As described in a film magazine,[4] Dr. Arbutus Budd (Hitchcock) is besieged by creditors who insist on being repaid, telling one holding a bill while he held a saxophone that "I can't pay it but I can play it."

Sobini (Van) has come to the United States to bring back a Sizerella to be shot by a Maldonado.

In Bologna the innkeepers daughter falls for Dr. Budd, but he has his eye on Cola (Marion Fairbanks), while her twin sister Coca (Madeline Fairbanks) loves the scion of the rival house of Madonado (Love).

Dr. Budd spends the rest of the film turning back a clock to escape the hour set for the duel, mixing up the twins, and avoiding marriage to the innkeepers daughter, who in the end uses the doctor's "Cremo" beauty lotion to become a desirable maiden, with even her hair becoming curled by the treatment.
