“Cutting It: In the ATL” follows four salon owners as they compete to dominate the Atlanta hair game. Throughout the debut season, Maja formulated a plan to grow her empire with the help of the city’s top salon owners, gathering Beautii, Mushiya and Dedra for a meeting of the minds.

However, when the women convened, it was far from what was expected. Though Mushiya was on board with Maja’s vision, the others were not so easily convinced. Dedra then further ruffled feathers by hiring LaKenya, a former employee of Beauttii’s, to help increase business, while LaKenya sought out advice and mentorship from all four salon owners to plan her own rise to hair stardom.
