01x02 - There's no virgins in LA

[bunniefuu]

How do I get my chair?

You either got what it takes
or you don't.

And if you don't,
then get the f*ck out.

Yeah.

-Happy anniversary.
-To Ted and Jason.

26 years. Oh, my gosh.

I know, you guys are
setting the example.

So Adeel's the one,

and I want to spend the rest of
my life with him,

but we've got some stuff
in the way.

So is there going to be
a ring on it?

Oh...

His family really
doesn't know he's g*y.

So until that happens, you know,
we've got some barriers.

I remember coming out
to my mother.

-Yeah.
-And it took, like, four times

walking around the neighborhood,
like, are you ready for this?

I don't know.

I have no idea what
the reaction's gonna be.

[Jason] Today is the fourth
anniversary of Starring.

And we're going to have a party.

Party started, b*tches!

[Cheyenne]
Team Kim and Team Ted,

we're kind of opposite ends
of the industry.

This chick Laura,
she's very aggressive.

-Laura, meet Cheyenne.
-I don't know if I want to.

You don't know if you want to?

My first impression of Laura

is a drunk hot mess.

I don't like her.

I...she might as well have
peed on my leg.

[Laura] You f*ck with me and.
like, you'll be f*cked harder.

[Ted] Silence!

I'll play nice in the sandbox
unless you're a f*cking b*tch.

[Ted] I'm so excited.
Starring by Ted Gibson's

fourth year anniversary party.

We launched the brand of
Starring four years ago.

-Four years ago.
-It's insane to me.

-There you go.
-There you go, you got it.

We have a surprise.

Hello. Hello. Hello.

We're by appointment only.
So that's the only reason

-why the door didn't open.
-How are you guys?

We've brought in the most
amazing cake-ologist.

-How are you?
-Oh, my God.

-Good lashes.
-Hello, gorgeous.

-[Jason] Her name is Marsha.
-[Ted] Yes.

And she slays with the cakes.

We're going to do
a cake tasting today.

Yes!

He's drooling.
He's literally drooling.

So I'm going to
let you guys taste.

We're gonna start up
with the sassy strawberry.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait,

wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.

Because this is a moment.

-Sassy strawberry.
-No, seriously.

-It smells so good.
-Thank you.

And it's all made from scratch.

We are actually stopping the
party at a certain point

so we can bring out the cake.

It's all about the cake,
ladies and gentlemen.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

My God.

It's delicious.

There's no way you two can eat
all of these by yourself.

Oh, but you know what?

You had me at Sassy Strawberry.

-That's cute, eh?
-You did. You did.

This looks decadent, beyond.
Doesn't it?

And this is
the Sassy Strawberry.

Oh, I love it.

Oh, my God!

Ooh, she has some
tasty cakes, honey.

But where I am trying to watch
my waistline,

it's just the frosting for me.

This looks like Ted and Jason.

The sassy strawberry
and the double chocolate.

I love it. It's perfect.

I love how you
call me double chocolate.

Oh, yeah.

Laura, get over here.
we're tasting cakes.

Do you know that this is my
favorite part of the day?

-As it should be.
-Wow.

I didn't know this is happening.
Okay, where's the spoon?

Get in on this,
get in on this.

-So I have two sketches for you.
-Okay.

b*tch! No.

This is beautiful.

I want to do it. Yeah,
I'm going to do.

I don't know if you heard of,
like, a geode cake,

but it's going to look like
it's been, like, carved

in between the layers,
like crystals, right?

-Yes.
-Yes.

All right. And then the
esthetics of your store,

like I just want to create these
lines on the second tier.

Oh, yes.

Marsha, Marsha, Marsha.
Oh, my goodness.

She's doing the
live sketching of the cakes.

-On the cake, the cans?
-In the middle.

-That's amazing.
-Yes.

I'm thinking I'm on friggin'
Cake Wars

or something like that.

-Wow!
-She is gonna bring it.

Now, I thought I signed up
for the wrong show.

And then on top, I want to put
a salon chair.

[Robby] Oh, I love it.
I love it, Marsha, so good.

Okay, so are we saying
yes to the cake?

-We are!
-[cheering]

Thank you.

[music]

[Adeel] Today, we're doing a
house call with one of my oldest

friends, Shar, and we're taking
the whole Kim Vo Salon team.

Shar.

It's a head to toe experience.

Wardrobe, makeup, hair.

-Hello.
-Are you excited?

I miss you.

We wanted to bring Kim and I's
celebrity experience

to our private clients
so they could

experience the ease
and luxury of it all.

So I hear Tom Ford closed down
just for you guys to go in.

Possibly. You know how we like
to roll, especially with Shar.

Shopping,
it's like breathing for me.

Shar is now married to
a video game creator

who works on games
like Fortnite .

I wish I could tell you more,
but I am g*y.

Sorry.

-Why don't you get ready?
-Yes.

-I'm going to kidnap you.
-Okay.

And we're gonna do
fabulous hair.

-Okay, let's go.
-Come on.

Seriously, like, do you know
being red, how rare you are?

You know that I've
never dyed my hair.

-I know.
-Ever.

You're a virgin.

That literally is so why
I am so excited.

You know,
there's no virgins in L.A.

-I'm telling you right now.
-I'm super authentic, guys,

I've never done Botox.

I have had no plastic surgeries.

[Lauren] Going on a house call
with Kim is so fun and exciting,

and I feel so honored
to be assisting him.

And, you know, every day
is a great day with them.

So tell me about, like, this no
Botox and all this other stuff.

Yeah. I mean, I just...
I don't believe in it.

I think you got to, like,
age with yourself.

I'm not sure.

So with all the guys
you've known with Adeel,

do you think
I could be the one?

There are no other guys
that I know.

I'm the other guy.

I don't know if you know this,
but I am

-planning to propose.
-What?

-This is a dream.
-Honestly.

-This is a dream come true.
-Honestly.

-I am so honored.
-Yeah?

That you're telling me
about this.

'Cause he doesn't know.

And you are one of
his best friends.

And I just really want,
you know, to get your opinion.

I'm really happy for him.

I'm really happy for you.

Oh.

And so this is exciting,

and it kind of, like,
seals everything.

It's really the best news.

We've got some challenges.
You know he's not out

and that's the problem.
And I didn't want to rush him.

You know, that's interesting
because I didn't know that.

So, you know, this is
a really big deal for us

because, you know, I see him
go through things and struggle,

and he talks to his family,
and he's so truthful,

and he has to hide
a certain part.

And it's just...
it's really tough to see.

Maybe with our encouragement,
he'll come out.

If the family turns their back,
you have me.

So in the meantime, we're going
to dunk your face in the sink.

-Okay!
-All right, here we go.

[music]

Wait, we have to see
what all we have.

Wait...

-Oh, sh*t. Oh, sh*t.
-[Blake] What?

-Where is the Valentino?
-[Blake] What do you mean?

There are two Valentino
garment bags.

[Blake] You're kidding.

Where is the Valentino?

I have no idea.

Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Let me call him.

-Oh, fan me.
-Here, here, here, here.

Hi, I was pulling yesterday
out of the store for my client,

Shar, and there were
two garment bags,

and I don't know where they are.

And I'm doing my thing,
like, right now.

The messenger has it?

How far is the messenger?

♪ Bounce ♪

No, I need it sooner.

sh*t, where are they, do you
know what highway they're on?

f*ck...

Okay, Blake, I need you to meet.
I need to go,

meet them on the highway.
I don't care...drive.

Okay.

-Thanks. Thank you.
-I need my phone.

She's already done
with the color.

I need it, like, now.

Meet them on the highway,
on the side of the road.

Don't get k*lled.

But if you do, just make sure
the dresses get here in time.

-Okay.
-Okay, okay. Okay. Thank you.

f*ck.

[music]

You know, I'm so blessed with a
really wonderful client base

from my mentor, Nick Chavez,

who's been in this business
for 40 years.

There's my beauty.
There she is.

Nick sadly was diagnosed with
pancreatic cancer two years ago

and I inherited his clientele.

What we like to call L-O-L's,

and those are my
little old ladies,

and I love them so much.

Oh, there she is.

-Hi, Pat! How are you?
-Hi, Robby.

It's so great to see you.
Don't you look beautiful?

I would say there's only one
downside to doing

my little old ladies,
and that is

they keep dying!
What the heck?

Where's my clients going?

I'm just kidding.
No one's died yet.

But it's hard for these ladies
to get out.

So I love going to their homes.

Seeing these beautiful
palatial mansions.

Coming here never gets old, Pat.
This house is so beautiful.

So happy that you came.

Today, we're seeing one of my
absolute favorite LOLs.

All right, wonderful.
I'll set up the shop for us,

and we can get
this party started.

And her name is
Mrs. Patricia Ridgely-Storm.

This woman is a legend.

Patricia, did you want to stay
in this, or did you want to

slip into a smock, whatever
you're comfortable with?

-I don't think I have to.
-Yeah, yeah, no.

I think you can definitely
stay in this. That's fine.

-Let's see what we have.
-All right.

All right. Wonderful.

Hairdressers have to be
like shrinks.

-Yes.
-They have to be able

-to talk to anybody.
-Yes.

-And listen to everything.
-Yes.

-And help the client.
-It's so true.

And I've always
said the same thing.

But what's fun
about a hairdresser

is you leave feeling better
than when you came in.

-And you look better.
-Exactly, right?

That's the secret sauce
right there.

-Right.
-I love it.

-That's better than a shrink.
-Yes, exactly

and less expensive.

You know, when a woman
becomes a certain age,

her hair doesn't do
what it used to.

What we have to do
with Patricia,

who has a great head of hair,
is give her that volume

to really lift it up
and make her feel like

the beautiful, sexy, elegant
woman she is.

And it really is
the power of hair.

And look at all
your horse stuff as well.

It's so equestrian
and lovely in here.

You did such a
beautiful job decorating.

I just love this.
The whole asthetic.

-Thank you.
-Where you riding this morning?

Not this morning, but tomorrow,
Thursday and Friday.

Those are the...my days
that I go to the barn.

That'll be nice.

And that's what
flattens my hair.

-So you have to come back.
-Yes, exactly.

You know, I'm ready.
Ready whenever you are, Pat.

So it's my pleasure.

I thought I was the
busiest person in the L.A.

Patricia is even busier.

I mean, she's married to
award-winning movie director

Howard Storm, and he has movie
premieres night after night.

Howard's in his nineties

and he's still a working
director too,

so I don't care how old you are,
there's no excuse

that you can still have fun
and look fabulous.

And look at your nails, your
nails always look so pretty.

A little spray.
We'll set it and forget it,

and then we'll get you all done.
You know the routine.

It's not our first rodeo.

- [Patricia] That's true.
- [Robby] I love it.

-Would you like a drink?
-What are you in the mood for?

Well, I have some wine
in here in the fridge.

That sounds nice, well, I won't
let you drink alone.

I'll have a little glass
with you.

Let's have some champagne.

Oh, pink champagne. Fabulous.

A woman after my own heart.
I love it.

-Cheers. Woo!
-Woo!

De Chanceny, ooh la la.
I love it. I love it.

Cheers. Love it.

That's delicious.

I'm still working today,
so I can't get too buzzed.

But then again, asymmetrical
haircuts are in, right?

-Mm, feels great.
-Good, well it looks good.

I'm not going to lie, I think
Patricia's my best friend

in L.A.

Don't tell Laura.

-Voila.
-Okay.

That hair is not going anywhere.

No, it isn't.

And thank you so much
for the champagne

and being the hostess
with the mostest.

I mean, this is just
extra special stuff.

So thank you so much, Pat.

[Pat] Anybody else
want some champagne?

[Robby] It's delicious.

♪ Oh, oh, oh ♪

Oh, my God.

We are bringing in the works.
So obviously I'm styling Shar,

Kim's going to color her hair

and Jules is going
to do the makeup.

-Look at this.
-Yes.

-We're ready.
-We'll see you later.

What are you doing tonight?
Where are you going?

What's going on?

I'm Jules, and I'm a
celebrity makeup artist.

Jules is so talented.
It's just I know that,

like, both of us will click.

Because we know that we have
the same creative vision.

She's a badass.

There's nothing worse than...
I hear this all the time

from clients, like, I want it
to look like I did it myself.

And I'm like, bye.

I'm most well known
for denim Britney.

I guess that's not
my favorite makeup,

but I guess it's
the most iconic makeup.

You know, I did denim Britney.

We have a dinner tonight
with some executives,

so relax, sexy.

I feel like a pop of red
on the lip would be

so much fun because it really
livens up the whole face.

Being a redhead,
I get the most compliments

when I do a reddish, smoky eye.

I like the direction
you're going in. Hair?

Hair, big, bouncy, beautiful.

-Full, gorgeous blow out.
-[Adeel] Love, love, love.

-Excellent. Yeah.
-Yeah.

[Adeel] Cheyenne is gonna do
the cut and styling,

so let's see what
Cheyenne's got.

Volume and just volume, volume.
No barrel curls. You know,

just the volum...you know,
I hate a barrel curl.

I hate a barrel curl.

I'm excited to do
Shar's hair today.

I'm nervous to do
Shar's hair today.

I know I just have to
get through this hurdle,

and I'm one step closer
to my chair.

So there's a whole array
of things like pinks,

purples, and then, like,
for the accessories,

I have a bunch of chunky
earrings just because

I really want to bring the
attention back to Shar's eyes.

All right,
let's get this party started.

You got it, my friend.

♪ 'Cause we dance like
today is everything ♪

Blake, where are
the Valentino pieces?

She's like in hair and makeup.
I have to have them.

Please hurry, because if she's
done with hair and makeup

and I don't have the Valentino,
I'm f*cked.

Don't lose your cool, ever.

Even if sh*t is, like,
hitting the fan,

like, you make sure
you're cool, calm, collected

because you want to

is having a wonderful,
peaceful experience.

-[Shar] I do...I do know what...
-[Adeel] Yeah.

Oh, my God. I love you.

Where was it?

-Oh...
-Um, don't worry about it.

Yeah, let's not worry about it.

Will you hang these up for me
really quick? Yeah.

So how long have you two
known each other?

Adeel was in college,
and he's like,

Shar, I see you have
an American Express card.

-I know where this is going.
-And I was like,

I was like, take the card
down to Beverly Hills.

-Wait, you gave him your card?
-Yeah.

Just to shop for you?

You know, he wasn't a stylist.

He went down and he bought

a bunch of luxury items.

And I'm thinking, you know,
I'm thinking like 5, $10,000.

Anyways, he comes back
to my apartment.

I'm like, Adeel,
how much was all this stuff?

And it's like $50,000
worth of things.

-And I'm, like, sweating.
-You never freaked out on me.

You've never freaked out.

And that photoshoot
got me the agent.

That photoshoot got me
celebrity clients.

It got me so much, like...

thank you so much,
you're the best.

Aww, that's so sweet.

I could not have done it
without you.

Cheyenne's work on Shar's hair,
I loved it. It was perfect.

[Shar] I haven't ever had
this style before.

-Oh, good.
-And I think it looks fierce.

-Good.
-[Shar] You nailed it.

Thank you.

[Adeel] I do want her to work on
her confidence a little bit.

I think she finesses
that a little bit.

I think she is good to go.

let's get you changed.

I really, really want to
see you in these outfits.

It's really cool to see the
evolution from our friendship,

this is the glamor.

This is the best part
of styling.

It's so good. Okay. I feel like
we should get you off to hubby.

-He's waiting.
-I'm going. This is all mine.

-I love you.
-Love you.

Bye guys.

I'll wrap the rest
and have it sent to you.

[music]

Today is the fourth anniversary
of Starring. Can you believe it?

It's gone by so quick.

And we're gonna have a party.

We're gonna have a party.

What is your vision?

We're gonna cover that
bad boy like it's not there.

Okay.

We have a lot to get done.
A lot to get done.

We got to set up the bar.

We got to set up
the charcuterie,

we got to set up the setup.

And celebrity, we have to do
some hair too.

Oh, okay.

Not exactly what I'm looking
forward to...

Enough with the look.

We have our logo on a... that'll
be projected onto the wall.

-Excuse me.
-Oh, look who's here.

Let me look at you.
Look at the suit.

Jaime King is a model, actor
and super, super, super talent.

What are we going to do?

We're going to Starring 3,
darling.

What are we gonna do though?

She is one of my
long-time clients

since I've been here in L.A,
and I love working with her.

What are we gonna do
for the cut?

'Cause whatever we do
Sarah Paulson's gonna do.

I know how it works.

Always, always.

I think...I think that what we
should do is give it a shape,

Jason's going to color it.

-Yeah.
-I hope we have time.

Do you have time?

There's a little bit of a risk

because you may not know
how hair color turns out

on the day of.

Yeah, I just don't wanna be
in a situation

where all of a sudden,
it's party time and we're not...

It's a big deal. I know.

Setting up for a big party like
tonight is stressful enough.

Working with a high profile
client is stressful enough.

Combining the two into
the same day is insanity.

What are we thinking,
letting her come today?

Come on, let me
put you in a robe.

-Okay
-All right.

I'll just check in
and see where we're at.

-Okay.
-Okay. Sounds good.

♪ I hope your heart
is strong enough ♪

♪ It's about to skip a beat ♪

Jason.

♪ Filled your lungs up ♪

Jason.

♪ About to shake things up ♪

We're stressing him out.

There is so much going on
between the bar setup,

the balloon blow-up,
the cake arrival,

turning the parking lot
into a nightclub.

The last thing in the world
I want to do is color hair.

I have a really light peach.

Ooh, the peach will be pretty.

This is peach vibe.

You know, those beach ba*ls
have to be blown up.

-Yes, I already told them.
-Okay.

I can feel him...

You know how he is.

I know you got bamboozled into
doing the color, sorry Jason.

Listen, I...

-Careful, careful.
-Fine.

When Jason's under pressure,
it looks like his head is gonna

blow off his body,
like, he gets so upset,

and his eyes turn red.

It can be a situation.

So I'm going to
start in the front

because I'm going to get this
shape right here in the front.

So generally,

when you're cutting things
more one length,

like I'm getting ready to cut,

I use the wide teeth in my comb
because the wide tooth comb,

gives a little bit
more direction.

When someone said only certain
women can wear short hair...

-Yeah, it's not the truth.
-I disagree.

I disagree too. You have to have
a certain kind of confidence

to be able to wear short hair.

You have to have
a certain kind of,

I think, knowing of who you are
to wear short hair.

Fingers crossed.
It's gonna look good.

It's gonna be beautiful.

I mean, do you know a woman
that's not mad

when she gets her hair done
and it's not what she wanted?

Every single woman gets mad when
she doesn't get what she wants.

Yeah, look at that face.

That's the reason why we're
at the top of the game,

because we know this,
and we know how to handle

those difficult situations.
Did I say difficult?

Did you just call Jaime
difficult?

Oh, there we go.
There we go.

Oh, snap.
Oh, oh, oh.

[Adeel] Seeing Ted and Jason
at their anniversary party was

just so inspiring.

-Oh.
-I love you.

[Adeel] They're so in love.
And it makes me envision

Kim and I one day
on our 26th anniversary.

But I haven't told anyone
in my family that I am g*y.

So, it's time to
start the process of

properly coming out
to my family.

-[Kim] Hey, babe.
-Hi, buddy.

-Oh.
-Wait, give me a kiss.

I'm cold. Are you cold?

No, I'm, like...

I need to get, like,
a little blanket really quick.

-My love.
-What?

Another orange box.

I need a blanket. All right.

Babe, it's summer.

Well, I have to talk to you
about something.

[Kim] I'm in cashmere.

Well, you know, I get cold
when I'm nervous.

-I'm the opposite of you.
-I know.

I'm nervous 'cause my brothers
are coming into town.

[Kim] You're gonna
have to face them.

You ready for this, though?

It's time.

Everyone in the world
clearly knows I'm g*y.

You know, it's a different thing
with my family

to actually just say it,
and then it's in their face,

and then you guys
have to accept it.

I remember coming out
to my mother.

-Yeah.
-And it took, like, four times

walking around the neighborhood.
Are you ready for this?

Now that they're getting older,
they're starting to tell me,

like, oh, I really like this
girl. I really like that girl.

And, like, I know they're, like,
wanting to get married soon

and start their families.

So now we're opening
that dialog.

Right.

Like, I feel like
I should tell them.

I'm nervous as hell.

There's so many aspects
of coming out

when you are born
in the Islamic religion,

there's so many levels to it.
It's cultural, it's traditional,

it's society, it is so complex.

You guys are born here,
you guys are raised here.

-Yeah. So it's like...
-Went to college here.

But they still hold on to those
Pakistani Muslim values,

but I'm thinking maybe I take
it, like, step by step

and like, first, I maybe
do it to my brothers.

So they're going to accept you,
you feel.

Hopefully, they'll have
a good reaction.

You're taking a gulp.

What is a good reaction to you?

Do you want them to hug you?

Do you want them to say,
I always knew

you're flaming queen?

I don't know.
What do you want them to say?

My mother said she always knew
since I was 12.

Yeah.

Do you think
they've always known?

My youngest brother once said to
me, it's like, you know,

doing what you do
and being in L.A,

you're surrounded by, like,
the hottest women in the world,

and...but you've never,
like, dated them.

And like, he left it at that,
though.

Like, he didn't say
anything else.

I didn't say anything else.

So I'm sure they have,
like, a little bit of...

Why? Why did you not?

-I don't know.
-Why didn't you share it?

At that point,
why didn't you say?

Yeah, I don't know.

I don't know. I have no idea
what the reaction's gonna be.

I get it.
My heart bleeds for you.

My heart goes,
it must be so difficult.

I think why it's so hard
is because I actually

give a sh*t what they think.

Like, I can't just be like, f*ck
you, never talking to you again.

-Like...
-No, you'll never do that.

I talk to them every day.
Like for everything.

Like, I'm out loud and proud
in my real life, you know...

not in my real life, but my life
outside of my family.

Like, I really am not ashamed
of who I am.

With Adeel, because he's not out
you know, there's a part of me

that thinks if he loses his
family, I mean,

I can't even imagine that in
life, and to take this risk,

it's really, really courageous.

Like, I get scared, even, like,
inviting my parents to L.A.

You know, if I go to, like,
Gucci or wherever I am,

like, you know,
obviously I'm out

everywhere else,
and they're like,

oh, how's your boyfriend, Kim?

You know, I'm getting nervous
about that, so I can't even,

like, enjoy life
here in L.A. with it.

I know your pain.

We lived in a four and a half
million dollar home.

[Adeel] Yeah.

And they dropped you off
at your old apartment

that you haven't lived at
for two years.

Yeah.

And then you Uber'd to us
two blocks away.

[Adeel] Yeah. [laughs]

Your a*s couldn't even walk.

The thing that made me fall in
love with Adeel is his kindness.

I mean, he really is
a true kind soul.

Sometimes he's got
a hard outer shell,

and he's very passionate
about things,

but that's what really made me
fall in love with him.

Can I help you in any way
where you won't get disowned?

Well, if I get disowned, guess
who's responsible for me?

sh*t.

Thank God Kim is such a loving,
understanding partner,

where I can talk to him
about it.

And him being from South East
Asian descent as well,

like, he can kind of
relate to that.

That's why he's my partner.

If my family were to disown me,
at least I have Kim and his mom.

And his mom calls me baby.

-Let's go one step at a time.
-Yeah.

Don't get overwhelmed.

-It's overwhelming.
-I understand. It's very tough.

You've been there for me.
I'm gonna be there for you.

-Yeah.
-I'm going back to work.

But I just wanted to
check up on you.

I just want to make sure
you're ready for it.

I'm as ready as can be.

-It's gonna be all good.
-Yeah.

[Jason] Working with high
profile clients is always edgy

and kind of risky anyway because

everyone's got an opinion
about their look.

Oh.

What?

But in this scenario,
with the party being set up

and changing her hair color
and doing the haircut

and everything that's going on,
it's extra risky.

-Wait till I blow it dry.
-Stop it.

-Oh, my God.
-Whoa.

-Jason!
-Yeah?

-It's freaking awesome.
-It's freakin' fire.

-It's so cool.
-Fire.

She looks fantastic.
She looks modern.

She looks chic.

Oh.

♪ I think I found my muse ♪

[Jason] The clock is ticking.
There's so much going on.

I really hope we have enough
time to get everything done

for tonight's party.

Now time for a party.

We can move these
up to the table.

We should just
pull all this back.

-Yes.
-So the carpet starts there.

When does the bar open?

If I start now, I won't
even make it to the party.

[Woman] That's fine.

They'll be like,

[Adeel] The girls are getting
ready for the party

and I think we're just
going to head home

and get a little bit of rest.

I'm just not feeling well.

We're just going to send them
love and light from here.

-[Makenna] My hair's gross.
-[Lauren] Try to leave it down.

Just throw some
dry shampoo in there.

I feel like dirtiness of it
will give, like, good texture.

-Texture.
-Right?

I am so excited to go to
Ted Gibson's party.

You know, I love doing
hair and makeup, you know,

and it's just fun to dress up
and go and get drinks

and laugh
and make memories.

Who are you guys
excited to meet?

I don't really know who's going.

I heard 125 people RSVP'd.
That is so much.

-Is it indoor? Is it outdoor?
-No idea.

I'm hoping it's both,
because I sweat so much.

-Yeah.
-And I heard it's a tiny salon.

It's warm with that many people
in one space.

-The body heat will be insane.
-Yeah.

It is nice to, like, be around
people that just get it,

-you know?
-Yeah, I know.

I love meeting
other hair stylists.

I don't think me
and the other girls

have ever gone to
an event like this.

It's the first time
that Team Kim and Team Ted

will be, like, together.

Well, hopefully we're not
gonna be brawling.

-Yeah, I don't think so.
-It keeps the night interesting.

I'm not looking for a fight,
but if someone is being mean,

-I will go down for you guys.
-You're good.

We're kind of opposite ends
of the industry.

I feel like I'm excited
to see if we do

kind of step on
each other's toes.

[Lauren] I hope there's
gonna be booze.

I definitely need a drink
for this.

I'm not going sober for sure.

I'm so excited to finally see
Ted's salon.

Unfortunately,
Kim and Adeel can't go.

Are we almost ready?

-Yeah.
-Yes.

But we're gonna represent
Kim Vo Salon really well.

I can promise that.

[Robby] I've been to a few
of Ted's parties

and they definitely have
a reputation for being fun.

I mean, do not drive here,

because you're going
to be drinking.

So definitely get
a car ride home.

So walking into the party,
I definitely had

a pre-c*ck before I went

because we're meeting
the other salon as well.

You know, this is
a big day for Starring.

[music]

[Robby] I do find it to be a
little peculiar, a snub even,

that here are Kim Vo's stylists.

But where the heck is Kim Vo?

Hi, I'm Lauren,
nice to meet you.

-Hi, La... Laura or Lauren?
-Lauren.

This is the first time
I'm meeting Ted and Jason,

and I only got to talk to them
for a couple of seconds,,

but I was heading over to the
charcuterie tray-board-table.

What was it?

Hi, I'm Cheyenne.
It's so nice to meet you.

-I'm Jason.
-Hi.

So walking in to Ted's party,
it was smaller than I thought.

I just kind of remember walking
back and just thinking, like,

is this it?

-Am I interrupting something?
-Oh. Best friend, is that you?

I'm Robby, by the way.
Nice to meet you, Jules.

Robby. Jules, I like.

She works at the other salon?

She does, but I like her.

I hear you're a fabulous makeup
artist, I've heard about you.

Wait, Robby, look at me.
I like her.

Okay. All right.

[Cheyenne] So Laura is
coming on a little strong,

maybe a little tipsy,
just, you know,

a little bit more aggressive
than I'm used to.

So, we'll see.

[music]

I kind of want Kim
to throw a party now,

and I want them to come see.

Oh, we're gonna
throw a party.

And Adeel was like...

You guys, Adeel would
never like this.

I feel like
he would be offended.

Yeah, I'm not sure
how Adeel would feel

about the disco ba*ls.

Now, is this Team Vo coming in?

-So I'm Robby.
-I'm Cheyenne. Nice to meet you.

I feel a little jealous.

[Robby] Don't feel
jealous for a second.

I don't like it.

Laura, meet Cheyenne.

I don't know if I want to.

You don't know if you want to?

No, I was feeling a little
jealous, this is my best friend.

Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm not feeling him.

-Okay, great.
-Oh, my God.

We could be friends too.

My first impression of Laura
is a drunk hot mess.

I don't like her.

She might as well have
peed on my leg.

Where are you from?

I'm from Massachusetts.

-As am I.
-Oh, my God.

Maybe that's what it is,
the Boston connection.

-They...that's...
-Do you get back there often?

I try to go as much as I can.
We have a home on the Cape,

so I like to go there
for the summertime.

-Where?
-I'm in West Yarmouth,

-have you been?
-Some of my best friends

own, like, some of the best
restaurants in Yarmouth.

We probably know a lot of
the same people.

Yes, we do.

-Perfection.
-That's...that's salt.

That salt, you got to
get rid of that look.

No, do not order
the salt from that.

I'm just sticking to
vodka and soda.

-Okay. You're great.
-Yes.

Ooh, Laura is definitely
loving her life, honey.

She came in with
venom and vigor.

This chick that works for Ted,
the blonde,

she's very aggressive,
but she's...

I'm trying to, like,
get her vibe.

-Yeah.
-It's weird, like...

-Yeah.
-I'm not used to people

coming on that strong, like...

Yeah, what's her name?

-Laura.
-Laura, you said?

I'll play nice in the sandbox
unless you're a f*cking b*tch.

She told me she straight up
she didn't like me.

It's her problem, not mine.

-Cheers.
-Well, cheers, cheers.

-Love you, guys.
-To Kim and Adeel,

-even though they're not here.
-I know, it's so sad.

Nobody can make an entrance
like Kim and Adeel.

-Truly.
-Woulda shut this sh*t down.

[music]

-[Robby] So let's talk.
-Okay.

What do we think of these girls?

I feel like it might be a little
too basic for me over there.

-You know what I mean?
-What can we say, I mean...

I like... I like...
you know, and I don't feel that.

If you f*ck with me, like,
you'll be f*cked harder.

-That's what I like about you.
-I know.

Tomorrow might be different.
Oh, hey.

We have brought in
the most amazing cake-ologist

in Los Angeles.

She's super hot, and this
party's gonna be super hot.

So it's perfect.

The marriage of hotness, honey.

Oh. Oh, wow.

The cake is here!

Marsha brought her A-game
with that cake.

She did.

[Jason] It was
a little sketchy when

-it came out on the platter.
-It was a little leaning.

-We all had our fingers crossed.
-[Ted] Off to the right.

We're a little nervous.
We were saying a prayer.

-But it was good.
-But it was good.

Wait, I need a video of that.

That looks amazing.

She incorporated everything
from the brand,

Starring by Ted Gibson.

[Woman] I love the salon chair.

[Man] I never saw
the salon chair on top.

-I wanna sit in it, like this.
-I need a video of that.

[Jason] Worth it?

-Yes.
-Every single dollar.

Silence!

Ooh, that worked.

Jason and I just want to say

thank you very much
for coming tonight.

A friend of mine just told me
how much love there is

in this room and I can just say
that I'm so grateful

for each and every one of you

that came to
celebrate with us this evening.

There is nothing greater
than beauty.

And that's the reason why
I came into this business,

because I felt like
that I could add to that.

[cheering]

It's really so special
that we can, like, work together

and create something special.
And so thank you all for...

Okay, enough about you.

Ted and Jason
brought out the cake.

They were, you know,
cutting the cake

and releasing these beach ba*ls
from the ceiling,

which was hysterical.

[cheering]

You guys, thank you so much
for having us.

You guys, make sure
you take a piece of cake.

And make sure to take
a gift bag, will you?

-Oh, thank you so much.
-Take two of them.

Take the Rusee,
and also take the Starring.

Okay, we will.

And so sorry Kim and Adeel
can't make it.

But they send
their best regards.

-Good, thank you so much.
-Thank you so much

-for having us.
-I'll see them soon.

So much fun, yeah.

Thank you for having us,
it was beautiful.

I love you, all right, honey.

Miss Cheyenne is
tickling my fancy.

She does have that come hither
stare that I'm all too drawn to.

Like a moth to the flame,
really.

-Let's go get some real food.
-I'm starving.

gorgeous, gorgeous us.

[Adeel] I'm freaking out.

They're your brothers,
you'll be fine.

I'm the most expensive haircut
in the country at $2,400.

-[Jason] I know this already.
-And I don't have an assistant.

-So can I finish?
-Can I ask a f*cking question?

-Is this the tea party?
-Oh, my God.

[Robby] I want these girls
to all get along.

[Erin] Oh, my gosh.
Laura has the same fascinator

that I purchased from Amazon.
Ugh.

So, like, who are like,
your celebrity clients?

I mean, I feel like
that's kind of tacky.

This is a polite ladies'
luncheon,

and she was calling you tacky?

Well, I think you need to go
down there and say,

I don't like that you said that
that was tacky.

I regret coming to this party.

She did not tell you
you're tacky.

Robby.

It's your time.
