Summary
For years, the Barnes' family-run barber shop was a place where guys could get a haircut while socializing and discussing anything. But when the barber shop is sold out from underneath prodigal son Kevin Barnes (played by Houston), he finds himself co-managing the shop with the new owner's spoiled daughter Tiffany Sherwood (played by Elizabeth), a rich party girl who has never worked a day in her life. Despite their differing ideas of how to make the shop a success, Kevin and Tiffany together deal with the many challenges that arise when their very opposite worlds collide. The show is set in Baltimore, Maryland.
One on One Episode #67, "Phatheadz", served as a backdoor pilot for the series.
The show was originally called Splitting Hairs and then Phatheadz before being officially picked up as a series.
