To the 1980s: From Scorned to Cherished - Episode 5

Facing a pending divorce and her husband's meager $32.60, a woman decides she must earn money and break into the beauty trade. She surveys salons, spots a pricey, popular barber and plots to open a beauty school and chain. At her small shop a client storms in after a ruined hairstyle—her son's wedding is next week—and refuses cash, threatening to shut the shop unless the hair is restored. Seeing a wealthy client as an opportunity, the woman takes responsibility and says, "I can fix this," leaving the shop's future and the wedding's outcome unresolved.
