Sylvia Scutlash, orphan, widow and hairdresser, has only one remaining relative, her unloving Uncle Arthur. The last thing she expected was to compete with him to inherit the family business-the Wavy Lady hair salon. The other last thing she expected was to find there was a special agency that connects hairdressers all over the world. When she finds herself initiated into the United Guild of Hairdressers, she is sent off on a mission to England to solve the mystery behind a hair dye malfunction at the great Vitale Crassoon’s salon. In London, Sylvia must get to the root of the hair dye disaster and her own family tree.

In this colourful and quirky story, the big-hearted Sylvia finds her way around London and her family tree with a bunch of larger-than-life, vibrant characters. Half mystery, half search for meaning, this is a fast-paced, amateur detective story set in 1977 between the Australian outback and the glitzy glamour of London’s hairdressing world.
