Movie Description
Life for upscale salon owner Angela (Kellita Smith from THE BERNIE MAC SHOW) couldn't be better. Her Beverly Hills-based business runs as smoothly as the haircuts she administers to her customers, and her poor upbringing has been banished from her memory like all the bad fashions of yesteryear. The only quandary comes in the shape of rival salon owner Marcella (Gina Torres), who attempts to steal away Angela's customers, and is about as welcome as a dried-out Jheri Curl. But one day a poignant reminder of Angela's past arrives when her alienated sister Peaches (Mo'Nique) shows up in LA. Peaches gives her errant sister a hair-raising fright when she finds her at a celebration of Angela's successes, but the talented hairdresser is initially wary of Peaches' motives. After Peaches reveals that she too is a slave to the scissors and comb of the hairdressing profession--albeit at a much lower level than Angela--Peaches drops the bomb by admitting she is on the run from the IRS, owing a sizeable $50,000 in back taxes. This news is almost enough to turn Angela's hair gray, but instead of reaching for the hair dye, she concocts a cunning plan. Victory at the annual hair show in LA should win Peaches enough cash to pay off her debts, and afford Angela the chance to bury the reputation of Marcella once and for all. The girls clip, weave, shape, sculpt, straighten, and curl their way through the show, but the competition they face during the frantic race towards the final prize is as stiff as the hair gel they apply to their models' hair! A riotous comedy romp from director Leslie Small, HAIR SHOW is also a touching portrait of family reconciliation.
