Split Ends is set in the fictional town of Manningtree, New Jersey, where hairdresser Lizzie Munro fights to save historic Main Street … and the future of her community. Many real small-town businesses and organizations helped bring Split Ends to life:

Split Ends was filmed in Historic Botany Village in Clifton, New Jersey. Many businesses along the town’s main street participated in the filmmaking effort, providing locations and logistical support to our cast and crew. The nearby brick mills and smokestacks are reminders of America’s manufacturing heritage. http://www.historicbotany.com/

Johnny’s Bar and Grill in Botany Village is the genuine article. For decades, Johnny’s has been a gathering place for the local community. http://www.geocities.com/johnnysbarandgrill/

Guests will find Les Saisons Inn in Maplewood, New Jersey, a wonderful place to gather with family and friends. The circa 1840 Second Empire French Victorian is redolent of New Jersey’s fascinating history. http://www.lessaisonsinn.com/

The Chelsea Set Salon is the inspiration for Split Ends’ Paisley Set Salon, owned and operated by Libby Christensen. http://www.maplewoodonline.com/chelsea/

The historic Belleville Public Library is one of 1,681 community libraries across America whose construction was funded by Scottish-born industrialist and philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie. Beautifully restored in the 1990’s, the library served as a Split Ends location. http://www.bellepl.org
