So many things distrubed me about this movie. The young boy (maybe 12 years old) constantly on the make for sexual favors from older women not to mention his language, the treatment of the Black and White issue(I beleive this was done to make a point but if it had been done by anyone else the whole world would have been up in arms over it), the payback handled in a renegade style instead of by the police. Like I said, don't bother.

What Parents Need to Know
About Beauty Shop
Parents need to know that this movie has some pretty explicit and raunchy material for a PG-13, including a detailed discussion of bikini waxes, conversation about breast implants and sex toys, a reference to a "pimp hat," speculation about whether a character is gay, and some earthy and vivid sexual references ("a freak in the bedroom," references to misshapen genitalia and sex toys). Strengths of the movie include its portrayal of strong, loyal, and independent women and minorities and its frank exploration of racism by both blacks and whites and its depiction of inter-racial relationships.
