Jerseylicious - Season 1

Ever since her husband and hair legend Danny Gianfrancesco passed away more than ten years ago, Gayle and her daughter Christy have been running the family business at the Gatsby Salon. But now after a multi-million dollar renovation, Gayle is ready to step out of Danny's shadow and run the salon her way. She's ready to take the Gatsby to the next level--complete with a fresh new staff! After extensive interviews and auditions, the new team is formed, including established stylist Anthony, sweetheart hairdresser Gigi, top bridal make-up artist Alexa, ditzy-yet-lovable assistant makeup artist Olivia, and Olivia's rival, Tracy, an aggressive up-and-coming stylist who will do whatever it takes to push Olivia's buttons.

As the staff settles into their new home at the Gatsby, Gayle encourages everyone to get to know each other--but drama starts to unfold as big personalities clash. First, Olivia finds herself on thin ice when she's late on her first day and is unprepared to work on a client. Determined to get Olivia out of the salon, Tracy plays dirty when she invites her boyfriend (who happens to be Olivia's ex) to come in. Meanwhile, Gigi butts heads with Alexa over their view on marriage, and Gayle forces all the stylists to work together on a big ticket bachelorette party. But when the bachelorettes become too demanding, the staff finds themselves pushed to their breaking point.

Despite the multi-million dollar renovation, business isn't booming just yet, so in order to raise the salon's profile, Gayle decides the staff should shoot a commercial, much like the ones her late husband Danny used to do back in the day. When Olivia lands the lead role, Tracy is furious and finds a way to talk the director into giving her more screen time--but will Gayle approve of her taking control? Meanwhile, Olivia accompanies Alexa on a Glam Fairy photo shoot outside the salon, but she starts the shoot on rocky ground after arriving late. Can she redeem herself in front of Alexa? Also, Frankie takes Gigi on a romantic trip, but she's disappointed when she discovers his real agenda is a motorcycle purchase.

The Gatsby is put on high alert when they enter a competition to be featured on the cover of "New Jersey Life: Health and Beauty" magazine, and the stylists have to be on their best behavior to make a good impression on a spy who will be dropping by the salon unannounced. The publicity could mean great things for the Gatsby so Christy and Gayle are making sure everyone on staff is ready to do their best work. But when Anthony is pulled away to address a crisis at his salon which is under renovation, the staff needs to do damage control to make sure they don't ruin their chance of winning. Meanwhile, the drama between Tracy and Olivia escalates as they throw dueling parties on the same night.

Ever since their commercial started airing, business at the Gatsby Salon has been booming. As they evaluate how their new stylists are doing, Christy and Gayle feel that Olivia and Tracy don't quite fit the classy image they want for the salon. With the help of Alexa, the three of them pull some strings and arrange for Tracy and Olivia to go to New York City's top salon so they can learn from the best--and get an elegant "makeunder" in the process! But will Tracy and Olivia be willing to tone down their over-the-top "Jerseylicious" style? Yeah, right! From taming Tracy's signature sky-high hair to trimming Olivia's outrageous nails, these girls aren't going down without a fight! Meanwhile, Gigi gives Frankie's mom a makeover and Anthony hires an intern to help around the salon.

When Alexa is set up on a blind date, she asks Olivia to do a double date with her for moral support. Olivia finally sees a softer side of the "Glam Fairy" and is happy to see her hit it off with her new guy. Meanwhile, ever since her trip to New York, Tracy has become inspired to up her game and lands a gig styling hair for an event for a local designer, while her relationship with Lorenzo takes a turn for the worst when she sees him talking to Olivia at a club. Also, Olivia gets the chance to prove herself to Alexa when she works her first Glam Fairy wedding, and Anthony's intern Filippo is put to the test to see if he can handle more responsibility at the salon.

After working on a client who battled cancer, Gayle is inspired to help others in need by organizing a charity event. In a continuing effort to impress the folks at "New Jersey Life: Health and Beauty" magazine, she and Christy decide to hold a Locks of Love event at the Gatsby salon where women can donate their long hair in exchange for a makeover. In an effort to end Tracy and Olivia's drama, Gayle puts them in charge of running the show, but she ends up wrongfully firing Tracy when she fights with Olivia's roommate during the event. Gayle asks Tracy to come back, but will Tracy accept her apology? Meanwhile, competition heats up between the staffers when Gayle holds a cook-off at her house to see who makes the best pasta sauce.

In the season finale of "Jerseylicious," everything that the Gatsby staff has been working toward is on the line as they become one of the two finalists competing for the cover of "New Jersey: Life, Health and Beauty." As their final test, the staff must style a model for a mock photo shoot and will be tested on their final product. Gayle recruits Anthony and Alexa to head up the team, but when Alexa has a meltdown during the middle of the shoot, will it cost the salon the cover? Meanwhile, Olivia tries to convince Alexa to expand her business to a younger crowd, but first she needs to see that there is a market for teens so she challenges Olivia to throw her own fashion show. Also, Gigi gets frustrated when she thinks Frankie isn't planning anything special for their two-year anniversary.
