Far from Chicago, hairdresser Gina Norris has relocated to Atlanta with her daughter and quickly establishes herself as a rare talent in her profession. But after repeatedly butting heads with her shady, over-the-top boss, Jorge, Norris sets out to create her own salon, even snagging a few of Jorge's employees and clients. Now, Jorge will do anything to shut her down.
This bottom-feeder's sophomoric, locker room approach to black-white, gay-straight, and male-female issues cannot be undone by a saccharine storybook ending.
It's a bouncy, funny picture that I enjoyed -- one that mostly eludes the perils of sequelitis and spinoff-itis, a lusty comedy about the importance of looking good and getting the right scissors in the right hands.

Diverting but overly episodic... never quite hangs together as a feature.
