SYNOPSIS
Lala´s SPA is a comedy series whose main character is Lala, a stunning transgender woman who inherits from her loving and friendly mother the taste for aesthetics and hairdressing. She is the one who financially supports her with a lot of effort so that she can travel to Paris to get an update on the latest trends and on her own appearance.
The story begins with Lala's return to the popular neighborhood where she grew up and where her mother owns the beauty salon that now the daughter wants to transform into a great SPA. But hairdressing is not the only thing that will change radically. Lala's life takes a total turn when Francisco, a handsome high society executive, frivolous and a womanizer like none, arrives.
Francisco is a fugitive from justice, accused of a crime he did not commit: a millionaire scam orchestrated by his father-in-law who used him to rob prosperous companies and large millionaires who entrusted their capital to the financial entity they own and of which Francisco is the manager.
The fugitive stud arrives at the hair salon looking for a physical change that will help him fool the authorities and when he meets Lala a mutual attraction is born that ends up becoming true love, but not before facing the long and rugged path that relationships go through when the people involved come from opposite worlds. Difficulties that are even greater if we add to the usual, Lala´s condition, who used to be Lalo, and a jealous, ambitious and intriguing girlfriend who will do everything to recover the man she loves.
While justice is being done and Francisco's innocence is proven, the wanted “Don Juan” ends up living in the back room of the hair salon protected by Lala and her picturesque friends in the neighborhood, amid fun situations that also show the value of friendship and solidarity, above all.
