Gina Norris is a widowed hairstylist who has moved from Chicago to Atlanta so her daughter, Vanessa , can attend a private music school.

She hires a range of stylists, including her rebellious sister-in-law, Darnelle . The shop gets a wide range of clients, including wives of professional athletes and several wealthy white women.
