Two Classic Movies Starring Hair Salons
Two Classic Movies Starring Hair Salons - Cleveland hair salons

August is a perfect time of year to embrace the benefits of air conditioning! What could be better on a long, not summer day than to pull the curtains and curl up on the couch with a good movie. You’d think after working all day at our Cleveland hair salon, we might not find the world of beauty salons particularly entertaining, but you’d be wrong. We all have our favorite films featuring hair stylists and hair salons!

When we recently asked some of the talented stylists and professional colorists at our Parma, Ohio hair salon which Hollywood hair salons they enjoyed, we received a range of answers, but there were a couple that seemed to make just about everybody’s list. 

Oldies but Goodies 

  • Shampoo (1975)

When this screwball comedy first came out, Warren Beatty, who stars as sexy stylist George Roundy, was well-known for his love life.  As Entertainment Weekly says, “There were moments when he seemed to be as famous for his life off screen as his work on it.”  

Years later Lee Grant, who won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role as one of George’s married lovers, told EW that Beatty’s sex appeal didn’t affect only the women in the movie. She told EW about the time Beatty showed up at a New Year’s Eve party she threw. “Warren came into my living room one New Year’s,” she told EW. “I had 100 people in my apartment. And 50 pairs of knees just buckled at the same time. It was like a hypnotist who can cast a spell. He absolutely had that power.”

  • Steel Magnolias (1989)

It sounds simple enough: a young beautician who is new in town, finds work at the local salon. That’s where she meets a tight group of women who welcome her into their lives and the life of their small Louisiana town. If you can get through this one without shedding a tear, we want to hear about it! The cast should give you an idea of how good it is. Steel Magnolias stars, among others:

  • Sally Field
  • Dolly Parton
  • Shirley MacLaine
  • Daryl Hannah
  • Olympia Dukakis and
  • Julia Roberts

 

And that’s just the women! Tom Skerrit, Sam Shepard and Dylan McDermott are among the male stars. 

So, if you’re looking for something to do this weekend, make some popcorn and get ready to visit the salon! (Be sure to let us know what you think!). 

And, if you’re looking for a new look as fall approaches, plan to visit an Illusion Unlimited salon – the best hair salons in Cleveland! With a hair salon in Parma, OH, there’s bound to be a location near you.

Home of The “In-Balance” Design Consultation™

To better meet each guest’s unique needs and ensure total happiness with each visit, we developed our trademarked “In-Balance” Design Consultation. The goal is to recommend a hair design that truly works for you based on your features, proportions and who you are. The “In-Balance” Design consultation is designed to bring balance to your appearance in three essential ways. Our hair designers create a hairstyle that:

  1. Makes your head appear to fit your body in a way that balances your silhouette.
  2. Makes your hair appear to balance your facial features.
  3. Encompasses the “Total You.” (How you feel about your appearance—what you like and don’t like about yourself—is the determining factor regarding your hairstyle and even the clothes you wear.)
