Synopsis

Sylvia Scutlash, a hairdresser with more heart than hairspray, is about to untangle a family secret as wild as her coiffures.

Widowed, and fighting to keep the salon as her inheritance, Sylvia's life takes a twist when she is initiated as a special agent. As she finds herself a member of the United Guild of Hairdressers, her adventure kicks off.

Sent to London to unravel the mystery of a hair dye disaster at the illustrious Vitale Crassoon's salon, Sylvia finds herself knee-deep in more than just hair color and needs to sharpen her amateur sleuthing skills. With her scissors at the ready and bobby pins as her secret weapon, Sylvia must get to the root of her own family tree and the hair dye fiasco before fashion week.

With a cast of colorful characters, hairy situations and laugh-out-loud humour, enjoy this cozy mystery in an adventure that's anything but a routine trim.

Reviews

“I’d never think you could find such an amazing story set in the world of hairdressers, but here it is.”

“Laughed out loud and was at the edge of my seat several times egging the lovable protagonist on. Bravo!”

“I really loved this book! What a treat to get back to the 1970s, and get to know the heroine of this story, Sylvia!”

“A fun book full of twists and turns, as Sylvia is sent on a mission from “Down Under” to London to rescue another hairdresser’s salon. I love the constant play on words for the names of the people in the story! Sylvia is also searching for information about her family, and the father that sent her to an Australian convent at a young age. Read along as Sylvia makes new friends and uncovers a few enemies in Britain. An interesting read full of Aussie expressions and London lore!”
