Cutting It: In the ATL follows
four salon owners who are out to grow their businesses while competing
with one another for clients and stylists. When one salon owner
recommends forming a partnership to grow each of their individual
businesses, some are intrigued, but others would rather just trim the
competition. Can
these four top-tier salon owners put petty jealousies and narrow
thinking aside, or will their ambitions come between them and hurt their
business aspirations?
Meet the Cast
Beautii, "Countess of Class" and owner of Spoiled Opulence Salon,
worked hard to be on top of her game. The once homeless single mother
is no stranger to this competitive business and will do whatever it
takes to take them all down by storm; by treating every client like a
celebrity
Dedra, "The Commander-In-Chic," and fiercely opinionated owner of J'Doah Salon,
sees her salon as a 'hidden gem' but is envious of more established
owners like Maja, Beautii, and Mushiya. In an attempt to keep up with
the competition, Dedra hires LaKenya, a former employee
of Beautii's to broaden her services and clientele. LaKenya is hoping
that J'Doah is her last stop before owning her own business.
Mushiya, "The Natural Boss" and owner of The Damn Salon
- THE premiere place to go for natural hair in the ATL -has a flare for
the dramatic and it shows in every aspect of her life. Her beauty,
unique look, and mere presence are enough to quiet any room she enters
and her distaste for chemically enhanced or processed hair is no
secret.
Maja, "The Minister of Weaves," burst into the ATL hair scene by changing the playing field with Walk-In Weave Salons
- the quick and affordable weave salon. This business savvy,
no-nonsense salon owner has her eye on the prize and plans to soak up
every last dollar Atlanta has to offer.
These salon owners are opinionated, fierce and have a flair for hair, as well as the dramatic. In the premiere episode of Cutting It: In the ATL,
Maja formulates a plan to grow her empire with the help of the city's
top salon owners and gathers Beautii, Mushiya, and Dedra for a meeting
of the minds. However, when ATL's top hair divas are put together in one
room; it's far from what she expected. Though Mushiya can see Maja's
vision, others are not so easily convinced. Dedra ruffles feathers when
she reveals that she hired LaKenya, a former employee of Beauttii's, to
help increase her business. Is Maja strong enough to convince these
owners to follow her lead? Or will they let jealousies, petty money
squabbles and egos come between them and the 'coins' Maja has to offer?
In the battle to reign supreme, find out who is Cutting It in the
ATL!
