Gina’s beauty salon soon becomes quite popular. Gina starts a relationship with Joe (Djimon Hounsou), the electrician/pianist who lives above the salon. Lynn hooks up with James (Bryce Wilson). Threatened by the competition, Jorge bribes a city inspector to fine Gina and eventually to trash her beauty shop. Fortunately, Gina’s friends help fix up her salon, and Willie (L’il JJ) had caught Jorge and the inspector together on camera. He shows Gina, and she goes to confront Jorge who, as it turns out, had been faking his accent and had made up the name Jorge. Business starts booming for Gina’s salon when she unknowingly styles DJ Helen’s (the popular DJ from the number one radio station in that area) hair. DJ Helen calls up the salon onair and gratefully thanks Gina and recommends everybody to go to Gina’s beauty salon.
Entertaining flick with a strong performance by Queen Latifah. Kevin Bacon was hilarious and almost unrecognizable as the snobbish and arrogant hairdresser…
