What Is 80 Bako About?
The story starts in a beauty salon and follows Bosy, a young woman working in a small salon in a bustling neighborhood. Her biggest dream? Saving 80,000 Egyptian pounds to cover her wedding expenses.
With the help of the salon owner, Bosy begins offering home beauty services, but what starts as a side hustle quickly turns into a series of comedic misadventures. From unexpected clients to bizarre situations, her journey takes an unpredictable turn—leading her to new perspectives, bigger ambitions, and a completely different outlook on life.
Adding to the fun, each of Bosy’s salon colleagues has their own hilarious storyline, creating a dynamic mix of characters and comedy that will keep you entertained throughout the series.
