Set in a middle-class African American neighborhood in Washington, D.C., the program revolved around the character Clifton Curtis (played by Clifton Davis), a man in his late 20s who worked as a barber at Oscar's Barber Shop, the family barber shop he had inherited from his late father. While Clifton enjoyed being a bachelor, his opinionated mother "Mama" Curtis, played by Theresa Merritt, wanted him to settle down and find a nice wife. Additional characters - both Curtis's friends and other members of his family - came and went over the course of a typical day at Oscar's Barber Shop.
