Romy's Salon is a touching story about a girl and her relationship with her grandmother who suffers from Alzheimer’s disease.
Romy’s mother is always at work. This is why Romy stays with her grandmother every day after school. Normally that might sound like fun, but because Grandma Stine is busy working in her hairdressing salon and is very strict, there is no time to have fun. Everything changes when Romy discovers a totally different side to her grannie’s character.
