Beauty Shop is a 2005 American comedy film directed by Bille Woodruff. The film serves as a spin-off of the Barbershop film series, and stars Queen Latifah as Gina Norris, a character first introduced in the 2004 film Barbershop 2: Back in Business. This film also stars Alicia Silverstone, Andie MacDowell, Mena Suvari, Kevin Bacon and Djimon Hounsou.

Released theatrically in the United States by MGM Distribution Co. under the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures label on March 30, 2005, Beauty Shop received generally mixed reviews from critics. The film grossed $37.2 million worldwide against a $25 million production budget.[4]

Plot

Widowed hairstylist Gina Norris has moved to Atlanta so her daughter Vanessa can attend a private music school. After a disagreement with her domineering Austrian boss Jorge, she quits and sets up her own shop, purchasing a run-down salon with the help of a loan officer. The shop is old-fashioned and needs a lot of work, so Gina hires an electrician named Joe to help bring it up to code. At the shop, the staff often listen to their favorite radio talk-show host, DJ Hollerin' Helen.

Gina discovers that taking over the salon comes with complications: loudmouthed young stylists, demanding clients, and her own lack of an established reputation in Atlanta. Lynn, the only white stylist at the salon, has trouble fitting in, especially with Chanel, another stylist. A flirtatious teenage boy, Willie, hangs around filming things and chatting up the women at the salon, including Vanessa. When Gina's rebellious sister-in-law Darnelle gets into legal trouble with her abusive boyfriend, Gina has to bail her out of jail. She has Darnelle work at the shop to pay her back, and gives Darnelle an ultimatum to clean up her act and pay back Gina's money or face eviction.

Gina's styling skills and customer handling win over the salon's clientele, and many customers from Jorge's salon begin going to hers instead. Meanwhile, a safety inspector threatens to shut down Gina's salon with spurious violations. When electrical issues arise, Gina finds that the upstairs renter, Joe, is a handsome electrician from Africa. He bonds with Vanessa over their love of piano, and he and Gina also become close.

Gina develops a homemade "miracle" hair conditioner. A satisfied client, Joanne, arranges for a meeting at cosmetics company CoverGirl so that Gina can sell them the formula. She hires a male stylist, James, after he comes into the shop and demonstrates his skill with braids. Darnelle's boyfriend confronts her at the salon, and Gina and James step in to protect her.

The salon staff go to a nightclub to party. James and Lynn fall for one another after dancing and kissing. Gina and Joe develop their relationship as well. At the salon, when Joanne flirts with James, Lynn politely asks her to leave James alone as she and him are slowly developing and building their relationship. Joanne becomes arrogant and belligerent with Lynn and Chanel. Chanel, who used to dislike Lynn, unexpectedly stands up for Lynn, and this causes a heated argument between Lynn, Chanel, and Joanne. Gina comes in to stop the argument and Joanne angrily demands that Gina fire them. Gina refuses and Joanne cancels the meeting with CoverGirl. Joanne also angrily mentions that she is done being Gina's client and storms out of the salon out of pettiness. Feeling guilty, Lynn apologizes, but Gina tells them that it is not her fault, it just was not meant to be between her and Joanne.

The shop is trashed and vandalized the night before Vanessa's big piano recital, but the staff come together to clean up the mess, even bringing in their own supplies to ensure the salon can stay open. Darnelle decides it is time for her to grow up and enrolls in beauty school. Willie secretly tapes Jorge and Inspector Crawford discussing their scheme to ruin Gina.

A disheveled woman enters the shop and begs someone to fix her hair for a wedding that day. Willie shows Gina the videotape of Jorge and Inspector Crawford. That night, Gina confronts Jorge at his salon and threatens to expose his scheme, as well as the fact that he is actually from Nebraska, not Austria, and tells him she will never give up. Jorge continues to insult Gina as she leaves, and James and his friends humiliate him by giving him an extreme haircut as payback.

Later, as Gina and the shop listen to Hollerin' Helen's show, she gives a shout-out to Gina's salon and her miracle conditioner, and they realize she was the desperate woman on the way to the wedding.
