Overview

Salon Elvis is a charming short documentary portrait of Maroun, the larger-than-life owner of a Lebanese barbershop who has built his entire identity around his devotion to Elvis Presley. Far from keeping his passion private, Maroun happily breaks into song for his clients on request, turning his salon into an impromptu stage and himself into a local legend. The film captures the warmth and eccentricity of a man whose love for the King of Rock and Roll has become inseparable from his craft and his community. Salon Elvis is a delightful slice-of-life short that celebrates authenticity, obsession, and the unlikely places where music and daily life intertwine.
