Before the iconic 1989 film broke box office records nationwide, Louisiana salon owner Truvy first set up shop on the stage. The colorful cast of regulars and employees that frequent her establishment include a mother-daughter duo planning a wedding, a woman who’s “been in a bad mood for 40 years,” and a mysterious newcomer. Through laughter, tears, and a thick fog of hairspray, these women face trials and triumphs armed with their greatest strength: each other.

- Shelby takes a major risk in order to live the life she wants. She knows what might happen, but she decides that her goal is worth it. How do you decide what is worth a risk for your own goals and dreams?
- The characters in this beauty salon form a close community. Despite the conflicts that take place from time to time, they remain invested in each other and their group.
