Nadine works in a beauty parlor in Paris. Aware of her fading beauty, she dates casually, but is fearful of the pitfalls of serious relationships. Her co-workers are the popular Samantha and young Marie, who is intrigued by a well-off widower who has become a regular customer. When Nadine is jilted in public, a man who sees her follows her to the salon and declares his love for her. Along with such amorous problems, Nadine deals with various customers, from the sympathetic to the crazy.
