Description: Blown away, devastated, temptation and manipulation. What makes you laugh is also what makes you cry behind the scenes and curls of a typical beauty shop. In Beauty Shop Confessions, the lies are being revealed to the real world and sexualities are unfolded. The truth about the curse of insecurity and acceptance creeps out. The stylists are mini celebrities to their own lifestyle. So they think. The false reality that shapes the characters of many people leads to back stabbing, lies and betrayal of an image that really does not exist. Beauty Shop Confessions is exactly what it is, confessions of the lies of a group of workers that work together, but live separate lives outside those glass block windows. Lacy Morgan is the most envied and the most beautiful flaw to step foot into a cluttered salon world. She is the lethal weapon to men. They don't stand a chance with her tall dark makeup, along with her killer attitude, portraying hard to get, but to become easy to get when the right words and men enter her mind of games. Even though she is most envied, she becomes the salon hero, saving lives, businesses and reputations. She inevitably saved the life of an enemy co-worker, by helping them escape from an abusive relationship with a married man. Everything is promised in this salon world. Material things, monetary means, men, emotions, temptations, sex, lies, drugs, greed, jealousy, envy, matrimony, the starvation of fame, darkness, the light of truth and death!-page 4 of cover.
