Based on the play of the same name by Trey Anthony, the story was adapted into a television show and aired on Global during prime time.
It was the first comedy series on a national private mainstream broadcaster that was created by and starring Black women in Canada.
It was the winner of the Canadian Association of Broadcasters Best Fiction Series prize in 2008 and won a Gemini Award for Best Hair.
The show stars Ordena Stephens-Thompson as Novelette "Letty" Campbell, the Caribbean-Canadian owner of a hair salon in Toronto.
Due to a scheduling mishap and a lack of communication with the audience, after being preempted for two weeks it returned with 1.5's and rose steadily to complete the season.
