Flamboyant Glasgow hairdresser, Crawford Mackinzie, gets a letter from the World Hairdresser International Federation inviting him to its prestigious annual contest in L.A. Filmmaker Martin Samuels is making a fly-on-the-wall documentary about Crawford; he and the crew go too. After maxing out his credit card at the Century Plaza Hotel, Crawford discovers he's been invited to participate in the audience, not the contest; he tries every angle imaginable to get in the competition: he phones fellow Scot Sean Connery, he gets a union card, he asks the reigning champion for help, and he connects with Connery's publicist, who's having a bad hair day. Will he succeed, for the little people?, Craig Ferguson, Frances Fisher, Chris Langham. Comedy about a flamboyant Scottish hairdresser who receives an invitation to the World Freestyle Hairstyling Championships in Los Angeles. A film-maker is shooting a documentary about the hairstylist, so they all set off for LA together. However, upon arrival, the Glaswegian crimper discovers that the invite was only to watch, not compete - so he pulls every string he can, determined to take part in the contest.
