Synopsis

Welcome to Jean-Luc, New York’s hottest salon du jour, where high above Madison Avenue, Georgia Watkins—star colorist—tends the hair of socialites, actresses, models, and moguls. Georgia wasn’t born to the Manhattan elite, but she was born to color hair; back in tiny Weepeekeemie, New Hampshire, her single mother struggled to pay rent on her own small-town beauty parlor to keep the family afloat.Yet Georgia wants more from life. And so, after a stint at Wilfred Academy, she lands a job at Jean-Luc and moves to New York City. Thrust into a glitzy, glittering, over-the-top world, she finds herself highlighting dogs’ hair to match that of their owners’, making house calls to the Hamptons, and barely batting a well-groomed eyelash at a thousand-dollar tip. A rising star in the salon, Georgia is far too busy for romance or even a day off…until she finds that her quiet, handsome colleague Massimo has more to offer than styling pointers.With a loving boyfriend, a calendar brimming with devoted clients, and unexpected career opportunities at her fingertips, Georgia’s life feels as golden as her customers’ favorite hair color. But when she is betrayed in an unthinkable turn of events, Georgia Watkins from New Hampshire finds her loyalty and love put to the test—and she must depend on the most unlikely people to help her navigate the ugly side of beauty.

Goodreads review by Alice on November 05, 2009

Why do I keep reading this crap? Mildly diverting trashy chicklit. The worst part about this book was the constant moving between time periods.

Goodreads review by Gayle on January 21, 2009

Is there a genre called gossip lit? There should be. All you need to know is that author Kathleen Flynn-Hui is "the star colorist at Salon AKS, [and:] the wife of acclaimed stylist Kao Hui." Certainly her inside story of a small-town girl that becomes a top-flight colorist at a celebrity salon reson......more

Goodreads review by Femke on January 26, 2019

This some typical, easy-reading kind of chicklit, perfect to shut your brain off. The story is about Georgia, a small-town girl who ends up working as a colorist at a over-the-top hair salon in New York. The place for the rich and famous. Not surprisingly, the author is also a colorist in a New York......more

Este libro cuando lo cogí para leerlo sabía a lo que iba. Libro fácil de leer, entretenido, ameno, muchos diálogos. Llevaba mucho tiempo en mis estanterías y quería leerme un libro ligero ... Lo que más me ha gustado es que la protagonista hasta que no consigue lo que quiere, su sueño, no para; se fo......more

Goodreads review by Shayna on March 02, 2024

I read this entire book in one sitting. I absolutely loved it. It was funny in exactly the right way, with some high fashion and cattiness thrown in. What a great way to spend an afternoon! As soon as I finished it I went straight to my laptop to see what else this author has written and was so disa......more
