Hair Show is a lively and funny ensemble comedy set in the busy, high-pressure milieu of an upscale hair salon. As in Barbershop or Empire Records, a handful of idiosyncratic char...( read more  read more... )acters share the shop's load but are individually defined by peculiar obsessions or circumstances. Jun Ni (Keiko Agena), for instance, just wants to learn to cook for the husband who adores her yet who is starving because of her failures in the kitchen. Peaches (Mo'Nique) is trying to save her bacon from the IRS agents hounding her for $50,000 in back taxes. At the center of the story is Peaches' rivalrous relationship with sister Angela (Kellita Smith), who took a sizable inheritance from her late grandmother (Peaches got no cash from Grandma's will) and built the salon in which brassy Peaches might be the most talented stylist. Crisply directed by Leslie Small and co-produced by Magic Johnson, Hair Show is lightly but genuinely rewarding. --Tom Keogh

    This movie was much better then beauty shop, the dialogue was better,and the plot was more exciting than beatuy shop.
    Monique is always an obnoxious chick in any role. I do think she has more range as an actress than she is given credit for, but she as basically herself, is too ...( read more)damn funny for much else. She shines in this flick as peaches a chick running for the IRS, and reunites with her long estranged sister. Funny, charming, and all around entertaining. I would recommend this over "Beauty Shop". Hair show is just more funny, has more of an edge.

    Peaches (Mo'Nique), an award-winning hair stylist from Baltimore, and her estranged sister Angela (Smith) get reacquainted when Peaches visits her sister in Beverly Hills. But the reunion may be bittersweet when Angela finds out Peaches in on the run from the IRS.
