Da Kink In My Hair

It's a Saturday - one of the busiest days in the salon and Novelette discovers that Joy hasn't filled in the appointment book. Everyone is surprised when a high class wedding party arrives unannounced and the snooty mother of the bride, Ms. Mavis, expects preferential treatment.

When Joy turns a staid, older woman's hair into an outrageous dance-hall style, Novelette admonishes her staff and allows Starr to try her hand at fixing the 'do, much to Joy's chagrin.

It's the hottest day of the year - in Toronto, and in the shop. Caribana has filled the city with exciting visitors and sexy festivities. Everyone's off to the parties - all except Starr, that is.

A reporter from Toronto's top Caribbean magazine, Caribbean Community Corner, interviews Novelette for a spot in their upcoming issue on 'Women of Distinction'.

It's obvious to everyone but the Campbell sisters that Dwayne, the hair care salesman, is interested in Novelette. Joy makes a pass at him and Nigel saves her from the humiliation of rejection by feigning his interest in her.

On a Saturday morning, before the shop opens, Starr catches Nigel at a cheque - cashing place and the sparks fly when she accuses him of sending money to another girl back home.
