[edit] Plot
Gina Norris (played by Queen Latifah) is a hairstylist that has moved from Chicago to Atlanta so her daughter can attend a decent music school. She's made a name for herself as a stylist, but after her boss (Kevin Bacon) berates her work, she leaves and sets up her own shop, purchasing a rundown salon.
She hires a range of stylists, including her rebellious sister-in-law, Darnelle (Keshia Knight Pulliam). The shop gets a wide range of clientele, including wives of professional athletes, and several wealthy white women. She also hires Joe (Djimon Hounsou), an electrician who's also skilled on the piano. Because her ex-boss's business is going down, he hires a Health Inspector to form various ways to shut down Gina's business. But tragedy strikes when the shop gets vandalized. When Willie (Lil' JJ) finds the Health Inspector and Gina's old boss on camera "talking" business he shows Gina the tape of the two. Later on that night, Gina goes to her old salon and tells him that she knows about his "little secret" and has a couple of guys to rough him up.
