Beauty shop talk...So much drama in that world. Glad the author has opened the eyes of those wanting that career. Hopefully they can avoid that life...

Terri is as close to a saint as you can get. She is what everyone wants in life, a loyal friend. To Terri she has never really felt complete. She has always had the feeling she was missing something in life. That missing link is her real family. She is there for everyone else but who will be there for her? Will she ever meet her real family and learn about herself or will that stay a mystery to her?
Wendell is a male stylist with sex appeal. He is what many call a ladies’ man. He has a secret love with someone. With all the women that want Wendell he has his eyes on a prize that is very close to him in more ways than one. But how long can his secret stay a secret from his coworkers.
Naomi is the chick that is not to be messed with, a hothead. She is all about the money and she does not handle it correctly. For every hothead there is a chiller, and the chiller for her is the person that she will need when things get a little too hot for her to handle. Will the “chiller” be there for her or will she go through this one alone?
Elaine Flowers does a great job when it comes to the descriptions in the book. I wish there was more dialogue between the characters to keep the reader interested. At times it feels like the author takes away from the book with all the illustrations that are given. On the other hand the Flowers does a great job with combining all the relationships in this book. Reading this book has given me a real feeling of the actual beauty shop. This is great book for those that are into descriptions.
Book Rating: 3 Stars
