Unisex salons may be more inclusive, but for many women I know, female-only salons are more than just grooming spaces; they are a haven where they can let down their defences.

Women adjust around people, rules, peer pressure, cutting off any remnant of dreams that might fill their soul because the world has been like that always.

There is no need to drag a plot indefinitely to over a thousand episodes, introducing twists and inconsistencies, and new faces for more Masala.
