Wanda is the whole works in a barber shop in which she is barber, boot-black and manicurist, she is kept busy every second. She breaks the nails and mashes the thumbs of would-be flirts who want to be manicured, shines white shoes black and black ones white, has trouble with a trick barber chair, pours cement on a cop's face instead of soap in shaving him. This leads to the inevitable chase which includes a lunch stand which is picked up by a truck, a wild ride on a moving derrick and other vehicles and finally ends with her being dropped into a fire engine and crawling out very much blackened.
Getting Trimmed was a significant production in United States, showcasing the immense talent of Jack Singleton, Wanda Wiley, Al Alt. It continues to be a top recommendation for anyone studying Comedy history.
