Salon Turf War Heats Up on 'Jerseylicious' Debut

After styling hair for the first time since cosmetology school, Olivia Blois Sharpe was eager to go back to doing makeup.

By the time her shift at Gatsby Salon was done, her back hurt, she was sweating profusely and she even burnt her pleather pants.

Blois Sharpe, a Montville Township High School graduate, told Gatsby owner Gayle Giacomo and Giacomo's daughter, Christy Pereira, the shop's manager, she wanted to stick with makeup.

Giacomo and Pereira, both Bridgewater residents, were secretly relieved. They had Blois Sharpe styling hair because they were short staffed after two other stylists were fired.

Blois Sharpe did surprisingly well, Giacomo said, but time management ended up being an issue.

"I have people really unhappy because Olivia is way behind," Pereira told her mom earlier in the episode.

Style Network's "Jerseylicious" is back. Season 4 kicked off Sunday, picking up with the "sensational salon turf war" where Season 3 left off. The show follows stylists and business owners at the Gatsby and Anthony Robert Salon, real salons in New Jersey.

Season 3 finished as the show's most-watched yet, with premier episodes averaging 619,000 total viewers.

At the end of the third season, "Jerseylicious" stylists Tracy DiMarco and Gigi Liscio were fired from their Gatsby jobs for lining up jobs with Anthony Lombardi behind Giacomo's back because they heard rumors of Gatsby being sold.

During the Season 4 debut, we learn the opening of Anthony Robert's new salon keeps getting pushed back and they're still without work.

And when Giove, who feels bad she offered them jobs that haven't materialized, hears Giacomo is accusing her of poaching the employees, she lashes out.

Giove compares Giacomo to a dinosaur who "seems harmless and purrs, but when you get closer it rips your head off."

Liscio said she misses working and being financially independent, and seems prepared to ask for her job with Gatsby.

Lombardi and Giove, his new business partner, butt heads over plans for their new salon, including during a party at a banquet hall that Jackie Bianchi, another Montville Township High School grad, said made her feel like she was in Italy.

"Jerseylicious" airs Sundays at 8 p.m. on Style.
