about the show

Following the dramatic departure of Allie's husband Finn and Gavin's partner Ruby at the end of series three, all eyes are on Allie and Gavin who are happily back together, although once-bitten Gavin is wavering over marriage, and Allie has big business plans.

As well as running her popular hairdressing salon, Allie opens her own hairdressing academy, to inspire a new generation of hairdressers. The venture has financial backing from Liam Carney, an ex-boy-band member who is trying to shake off the trappings of his past life with mixed success.

When Allie discovers she might be pregnant she thinks she can have it all - Gavin, the baby, her salon, the academy. Fate, however, has other plans. Also, there is trouble on the horizon when the free-spirited Melissa arrives in town and gets the job of academy Styles Director with a little underhand help from a secretly-besotted Liam.

At the same time Melissa has to deal with Troy Gillespie vying for her affection, and a secret which threatens to reveal itself at any moment.
