Move over, mistletoe. This holiday season, Lifetime is giving us a gift wrapped in charm, nostalgia, and plenty of hairpins with its new original movie, A Very Merry Beauty Salon. The film premiered Saturday, December 7, at 8 PM ET/PT, and this heartwarming rom-com is setting out to prove that love, laughter, and a little holiday glam can make this season truly magical.
The movie sparkles with more than just Christmas lights—it reunites Sister, Sister stars Tia Mowry and RonReaco Lee, reigniting their on-screen chemistry in a story as sweet as a plate of gingerbread cookies. Tia plays Sienna, the proud owner of Divine Beauty Salon, a hub for Atlanta’s glitterati and the headquarters of all things fabulous. She’s preparing for the city’s grand Tinsel Ball, where her community work will be honored. Enter Lawrence (played by RonReaco Lee), a dashing wine CEO whose brand is co-sponsoring the ball and whose smile could melt the polar ice caps.
Cue the holiday magic. Sparks fly faster than a curling iron heats up, and before you know it, Sienna and Lawrence are not just business partners—they’re dance partners, too. But there’s a twist: Sienna’s mother, Georgia (the legendary Donna Biscoe), is worried that Lawrence’s presence might overshadow the cherished traditions of the Tinsel Ball. Will Sienna find love under the ballroom lights, or will the pull of family loyalty keep her heart on ice?
What makes A Very Merry Beauty Salon stand out from the crowd of holiday rom-coms is its refreshing blend of romance, family dynamics, and small business pride—all set against the glitzy backdrop of Atlanta’s beauty scene. Watching Sienna navigate her way through love and legacy while keeping her curls intact is as uplifting as sipping a peppermint mocha by the fire.
With a cast of familiar faces and a story that glows with holiday cheer, A Very Merry Beauty Salon is the kind of movie you want to watch in your coziest pajamas, with a big bowl of popcorn and the lights on your Christmas tree twinkling in the background. Whether you’re a fan of Lifetime originals, a sucker for holiday love stories, or just miss the Tia-and-RonReaco duo, this movie is your perfect excuse to stay in this weekend.
So, plug in your hot rollers, grab a glass of mulled wine, and get ready to celebrate love, tradition, and a little holiday drama. A Very Merry Beauty Salon promises to leave your heart and maybe your hair—full of joy. Don’t miss it!
