Truvy runs a beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, where all the ladies in the neighborhood have a standing Saturday appointment. Along with her anxious assistant, Annelle, Truvy styles the hair of the women about town: wealthy widow and former first lady of Chinquapin, Clairee, local curmudgeon Ouiser, intelligent and compassionate M’Lynn, and her daughter Shelby. Shelby’s engagement is the talk of the town, but the excitement of her wedding turns to concern as she faces a risky pregnancy and health complications. As the women of Chinquapin makes their ways over life’s many hurdles together, they find comfort in one another.
