This "wonderfully funny" novel goes behind the scenes at a British beauty salon (Vogue).

Tabitha's Beauty Parlour is a haven. The women who cross its portals enter a gentle, perfumed world, hoping for a touch of transformation. For Tabitha, the power of being beautiful—or at least at little less dumpy and dowdy—is the intangible, invaluable product she has to offer her customers.

But when Chloe, Tabitha's trainee, sets out to prove that she can give her clients the makeover of a lifetime, the quest for feminine perfection achieves hilarious consequences.

"A sharply observed social satire . . . wacky yet profound . . . Be wary, this book won't do much for your laughter lines." —Chic

"A clever and funny novel." —The Times (London)
