Sally Phillips Stars as Lily Petal – The Unlikely Detective Who Hears EVERY Secret in the Salon Chair!
Move over, Miss Marple! BBC has just dropped the most delightfully quirky cosy crime drama of the year — “The Hairdresser Mysteries” — and viewers are already hooked!
Premiering on BBC One and iPlayer, the new 6-part series follows Lily Petal (played by the hilarious Sally Phillips), a top city hairdresser who trades the hustle of urban life for a charming little salon in a sleepy English village.
But peace and quiet? Not a chance!
As clients spill their deepest secrets during shampoo sessions and blow-dries, Lily quickly finds herself tangled in the village’s darkest mysteries — from shocking murders to hidden scandals. With her razor-sharp intuition (and a pair of very sharp scissors), she transforms from hair stylist to amateur sleuth!
“Call Shear-lock Holmes!” — the show’s cheeky tagline perfectly captures the fun, nostalgic 1970s vibe packed with retro style, witty dialogue, and twisty whodunits.
Why Everyone’s Talking About It:
- A fresh, funny take on the cosy crime genre
- Gorgeous 70s fashion and sets that scream nostalgia
- Sally Phillips delivering her signature comedic charm
- Light-hearted mysteries perfect for daytime (or binge-watching at night)
Critics are calling it “the most bananas daytime TV ever” — in the best possible way. One reviewer said: “You’ll never look at your hairdresser the same again!”
Will Lily solve the village’s biggest crime wave while keeping everyone’s roots touched up? You’ll have to tune in to find out.
Streaming now on BBC iPlayer — perfect for fans of Murder, She Wrote, The Marlow Murder Club, or anything with a cup of tea and a twist!
