Four women. Four loves. Four life-changing stories. At a little salon by the sea – on the windblown coast of 1980s Australia – four different women with intertwined lives will find themselves through love, heartbreak and learning to love again.
Lost love: Trudy, 57, owns Summertime Salon in the sun-soaked Central Coast town of Terrigal. She loves her job and her clients. Her colours, perms and Princess Di cuts bring joy and confidence to regulars and tourists alike. But since Laurie died, life hasn’t been the same.
Love on the rocks: Anna, 42, brings her mother to Summertime Salon every Monday morning but never gets her own hair done. With two children and an absent husband, she doesn’t have time for vanity. When Anna kicks Gary out, will she also rediscover the joys of caring for herself, starting with highlights?
Unrequited love: Hairdresser Evie, 33, has never had much luck with men. As a single mother, love is the last thing on her mind. Then, new hire Sam joins the salon – he’s handsome and kind, and he and Evie hit it off immediately. But is their relationship all that it seems?
First love: Apprentice Josie, 19, is seeking independence. She’s determined to make her own way in the world, especially when she meets sweet surfer and mechanic Brett, who she can’t quite believe is silly over her. How long can she keep him a secret from her overprotective parents?
Uplifting and heartwarming, Lessons in Love at the Seaside Salon follows four women on their journeys for love – in all its beautiful and bittersweet forms.
