De kapsalon in Louisiana van Truvy vormt de centrale locatie van dit melodrama rond zes southern belles. Truvy en Annelle verzorgen dameshaar, terwijl rijke Ouiser Boudreaux en rusteloze Clairee geregeld binnen stappen voor de laatste roddels en het uitwisselen van levenswijsheden. Shelby is een aanstaande bruid die tijdens een bezoekje aan de salon flauwvalt, M'Lynn is haar moeder. Wat begint als een luchtige komedie - of liever: een opeenstapeling van one liners - komt meer in de richting van een tragedie wanneer een lid van het groepje sterft.
Nee, helaas is Steel Magnolias nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
