When asked how she felt about the plus fashion featured in the show, Niecy responded,

“We’re real women and we dress the way that real women would dress in the beauty industry. We don’t shy away from our bodies, we don’t try to cover up our bodies. We eat on camera… [laughs].”

ABOUT ‘CLAWS‘

CLAWS follows the rise of five treacherous manicurists working at the Nail Artisans of Manatee County salon, where there is a lot more going on than silk wraps and pedicures. At the center of this diverse group is salon owner Desna (Niecy Nash), who works alongside her salon staff to launder money from Suncoast Rejuvenation, a barely legal pain clinic operated by the Dixie Mafia.  While it has always been Desna’s mission to break free of the redneck syndicate and become her own boss, last season saw Desna trade one crime boss for another as the Russian mob took control of both the pain clinic and the salon. With new management comes new problems for the women to navigate.
