RE: SEC Registration Statement on Form S-8

Dear Sir/Madam:

This firm (the "Firm") has been engaged as counsel for BEAUTYMERCHANT.COM
INC., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), in connection with its proposed
offering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), of 1,000,000
shares of its common stock which are to be issued under a plan for consulting
services by the Company, by a filing of a Registration Statement under Form S-8
to which this opinion is a part, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission"). In connection with rendering the opinion as set
forth below, the Firm has reviewed and examined originals or copies of the
following:

        1.       Articles of Incorporation of the Company, and any amendments,
                 as filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada;

        2.       By-Laws of the Company

        3.       Written  Consent or Minutes of a Meeting of the Board of
                 Directors on or about February 23, 2001 authorizing the
                 Consultant Services Plan (the "Plan");

        4.       Consulting Services Plan by the Company dated February 23,
                 2001; and

        5.       The Company's Registration Statement on Form S-8 and exhibits
                 thereto as filed with the Commission.

In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the
legal capacity of all persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to
the Firm as originals, the conformity with the original documents of all
documents submitted to the Firm as certified or photostatic copies, and the
authenticity of the originals of such copies and the truth of all information
supplied us.

We have further assumed, among other things, that the recipient of the
Shares will have completed the required services, and/or provided considerations
required acceptable to the Board of Directors and in compliance with Form S-8
and that any Shares to be issued will have been registered in accordance with
the Act, absent the application of an exemption from registration, prior to the
issuance of such Shares. We have not independently investigated or verified any
matter, assumption, or representation.

Based upon the foregoing and in reliance thereof, it is our opinion that,
subject to the limitations set forth herein, the Shares to be issued will be
duly and validly authorized, legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable. This
opinion is expressly limited in scope to the Shares enumerated herein which are
to be expressly covered by the referenced Registration Statement and does not
cover subsequent issuances of shares, pertaining to services to be performed in
the future (such transactions are required to be included in either a new
Registration Statement or a Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration
Statement including updated opinions).

This opinion is limited. We consent to you filing this opinion with the
Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement on Form S-8. This opinion


                                       9


is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other
purpose without our prior written consent. This opinion is based upon our
assumptions as to application of the law and facts as of the date hereof. We
assume no duty to communicate with you with respect to any matters, which may
come to our attention hereafter.

Sincerely yours,

/s/ Brenda Hamilton
