Sparked by the film Babershop, this is about a woman about to lose her beloved beauty shop, a pillar of her inner city neighborhood for generations, through an act of eminent domain just so the nearby water company can have a bigger parking lot. Whitfield will play a smooth-talking hairdresser and ladies' man in the comedy, which was written and is being directed by Mark Brown. Latifah plays Gina, who moves from Chicago to Atlanta so her daughter can attend a prestigious music school. She becomes a stylist and, when her scamming boss takes credit for her work, opens her own shop, where her uptown clients clash with those from downtown. Suvari will play Joanne, an upper-crust opinionated socialite.
