Welcome to Truvy's beauty salon, where the wise-cracking owner dispenses more than just haircuts to the Southern ladies who make up her clientele. Here we’ll meet Truvy’s new assistant – the maybe-married Annelle – and her regulars: Miss Clairee, a rich widow who loves football, M'Lynn, the local guidance counsellor, and her daughter, Shelby, the prettiest girl in town. And then there’s Ouiser, whose acerbic tongue will be held for no-one. This is a story filled with heart, humour and a whole lotta hairspray!
