Jerseylicious ep 1- "Beauty reigns supreme in the Garden State"

Jersey is in the house- again-and this time we have a tanorexic, teased hair group of hairstylists and make-up artists to follow in the Garden State. Let's meet our new family for the next 8 weeks or so.

First we have Olivia a make-up artist who is trying to get her life in order and that starts by getting a job at the Gatsby Salon. She's an overtaned, overly made up munchkin. She's probably 22-23 years old but has done a great job at making herself look 55.

The owners of the Gatsby salon, Gayle and Christy, have decided to remodel the place. Gayle's husband Danny died 11 years ago and there is a huge attachment to this business and making it a success. With the new salon there are new people to hire. So mom and daughter set out to staff the new and improved Gatsby Salon. They need 3 hairstylists and 2 make-up people.

Gigi is the first to come in and interview. She does a great job. Teresa is next to come in and she's a mess. The permed hair and witch like cackle is jarring. Anthony comes in - he is a successful salon owner but has to temporarily close his salon because he is doing renovations at his place and wants to make the Gatsby his temporary home. He gets hired on the spot.

Olivia is late to the interview and gets changed in the parking lot of the salon. She interviews really well. As she walks out she runs into her arch nemesis Tracy. They hate each other because Tracy is now with Olivia's ex-boyfriend. They exchange glances and words. Tracy says Olivia is a giant bag of trash. Nice description. Olivia's interview style is- interesting- in a word.

Gayle and Christy discuss the prospects and decide to have Tracy and Teresa- the older woman -come in for a hair-off and then Olivia vs the other make-up candidate.

Gigi and Frankie have dinner at Frankie's house. Gigi and Frankie fight alot and they are both pretty jealous. Frankie looks like a cartoon character with the slick backed shoe polish black hair and silky looking button down shirt- I don't get it. He's 22 years old but looks older than his dad. Gigi gets a call at dinner telling her that she has the job at Gatsby and everybody is excited.

Gayle and Christy ride out to the "Glam Fairy's" - Alexas'- apartment. She's ranked the number one make-up artist in NJ/NY. She thinks the ish but her whole look is a hot mess! They want to bring the Glam Fairy into their business.

Olivia gets her call back from the salon and goes out to celebrate with her bestie Brielle. Olivia is an interesting shade of orange,brown, copper. Olivia runs into Tracy at the club and Tracy says something really rude. Tracy has Olivia shook- it's funny.

The Salon has an open house party/work day. Teresa with the 80's hair and her smokers laugh comes in and and the style-off between the older/younger generation begin.

Alexa meets Olivia and Alexa says that Olivia can't be the next hot make-up artist because the "Glam Fairy" doesn't know her.

It looks like Tracy has the job if she wants because Teresa is not quite what Gayle and Christy had in mind.

Mom and daughter go in the back to decide who will be the other stylist at salon and no brainer here- Tracy gets the job. Olivia's personality gets her the job and she's gonna work under the "Glam Fairy" who is not very happy about Christy and Gayle's pick. Gayle reassures Alexa and massages her ego and in the end she decides to work it out.

Tracy is determined to make Olivia miserable while they're at the same salon. Olivia is determined to make Tracy invisible.

Are you ready for the drama that's sure to be in full affect with the crew from the Garden State?

Until next week...
