Did You Know?
Trivia | Queen Latifah originated her character, Gina Norris, in Barbershop 2: Back in Business (2004). Beauty Shop (2005) is a part of the same cinematic universe as the Barbershop (2002) franchise, but takes place in Atlanta, not Chicago. See more » |
Goofs | Towards the end, when the radio announcer calls Gina's shop to talk to her, by turning up the radio for Gina to hear her voice, there would be so much feedback that no one will be able to hear the radio announcer and vice versa See more » |
