The Salon hit post-production right as the COVID pandemic hit its stride, forcing Roxanne to wrap the project in a way that was a little unfamiliar to her.

When speaking on the cast Roxanne states, “The cast was really eclectic and it was really important to get a microorganism of what a real American city is.

The series stars a diverse cast, one that Roxanne says was mandatory in representing modern society and includes American Sniper’s, Jose Luis Lopez, social media influencer Candy Washington, Akende Munalula, Chala Savino, Vanessa Garcia, television personality Derek Warburton, and Harry Shearer, who returns as the ghost of his character from A Couple of White Chicks. “We had a lot of interesting moments, as you do with production, but in my opinion, the challenge is always the fun of it,” Roxanne says. Whether it was finding a shooting location or working with a new format for the first time, working on The Salon was always an adventure for Roxanne and her crew. KTLA’s Sam Rubin was quoted saying, “The story here is how Roxanne pulled on every avenue of her life to get this project made,” a sentiment she can definitely attest to. “People kept telling me it would be a great series and my friend sat me down and said, ‘just do it, it’d make a great series.”

The time seemed perfect and the digital series format has gained popularity over the past couple of years. The idea came from Roxanne’s earlier project entitled A Couple of White Chicks at the Hairdresser, which had a similar premise and was something that Roxanne always thought would be a series. Roxanne Messina Captor’s latest project The Salon is a comedic digital series about a salon and the interesting characters that walk through its doors.
