01x06 - Go big or go home

[bunniefuu]

[Female Narrator]
Previously on Blowing LA.

Kim put liquor in Ted's drink.

[Ted] I am so upset at each and
every one of you right now.

I really want to say I'm sorry.
That hurt me so bad

because I know how much
this sobriety means to you.

-Thank you.
-Can I have a hug?

Not now.

-My heart bled for you, Ted.
-Did it really bleed for me,

Robby,
because I didn't feel that.

I didn't know Ted
was that needy.

However, he's gotta move on.

After the pool party,
I just don't feel comfortable

with Adeel styling me.

Get the f*ck out, Ted.

That's the worst party
I've ever been to.

How dare you
talk to me that way.

Who the f*ck
do you think you are?

You are nobody.

f*cking loser.

There's just too much drama
and it's my big day,

my big divorce party.

Starring Salon
is like my family.

I just think that I should just
style myself.

You have no budget
for a dress anyway.

No. Sorry.
This isn't gonna happen.

[sighs] Adeel, he just wants
to keep on staking it.

[people cheering]

So sorry Kim and Adeel
can't make it,

but they send
their best regards.

Ted and Jason's party was
something we were looking

so forward to, but I had
to do some reassessing.

Um, I'm going through
some health issues.

And cheers to being
divorced as f*ck.

[people cheering]

But who are you, actually?
Why is she here?

Laura, how many drinks
have you had?

Shut the f*ck up.
Shut the f*ck up.

This might be the worst party
I've been to.

Ted, he was crying.
They were kinda crucifying me

for having fun with you guys.

Your brand does not match up
with Ted's brand.

-You're scaring me.
-I-I know. I need you

to be strong about this.
I was diagnosed a few years ago.

-It's scary.
-It's scary-

It's nice to admit
you're, you're scared.

[music]

[music]

Good morning, good morning.

[music]

[Ted] We have celebrities
in all the time.

I see Lindsay Price every
six weeks for a haircut.

She likes her bangs cut.

-Hi.
-[Ted] Hi.

Have a seat. Yes.
It's so good to see you.

It's so good to see you.

-It's been so long.
-It's been so long.

-Hi.
-Good morning.

Ah, good to see you.

Our salon is by appointment only
and we rarely all end up

at the salon at the same time,
but today we are all here.

We are all booked solid.

-And it's so busy.
-It's gonna be a mental day.

-Help, help.
-Laura with a towel in her hair.

We're like, this is not
that kind of place.

Listen, Starring is located
on the other side of the tracks,

if you know what I mean.

And when I see a crazy lady in
a towel banging on the window,

I was thanking my lucky stars
those doors automatically lock.

But then I look and it's sister
Laura. Laura, get in here!

What is that towel
doing on your hair?

-We're by appointment only.
-Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.

You guys, I have
a towel on my head.

I can't be outside like this.

Normally, I don't come to work
with wet hair, but this morning

was such a sh*t show.
I had my kids.

I had my grandma screaming.
I had my mom yelling.

And it just was so hard
to get to work that I was like,

you know what? Wet hair is
just gonna be what it is.

And you know what?
The wet look hair is in.

So people, it's okay.

This towel is very
becoming on you.

Thank you.

Perhaps you'll be coming on me.

[laughing]

[Jason] So we have some
of our high-profile guests,

and here comes Laura,
parading through

like she's at the Stop and Wash.

-It's not okay.
-Not acceptable.

We gotta elevate.
Everyone's got lives.

Everyone's got things going on,
but you gotta come to work

looking ready for work.

Can you tell who's the nice one?

It wouldn't be so nice
when I say it.

Can somebody blow out
Laura's hair, please?

Can someone blow dry me, please?
I need a blow dry.

Hi, best friend.

Do you want me to blow you
really quick?

Yeah, yeah. No problem.
Let's do it.

This ain't Super Cuts.

-[Laura] Ah, yes!
-[Robby] Let me get it together.

I love Laura. She's a single
mom. Of course, she doesn't have

time to blow herself. After all,
who wants to blow themselves?

Let's see. Oh, yes, honey.

That's what I like.
Look at yourself!

Look at yourself
and tell you you're beautiful!

You look good, honey. I love it.
It's giving Christina Aguilera.

She's swollen today.
I'm screaming out tiredness.

I'm screaming out, oh, my God,
I need to do laundry.

I haven't, like, washed my hair
in five days.

But I had an IV drip.
Like, this, I should be, like...

I literally should look,
like, hydrated.

I think you look really nice,
actually.

-Really?
-Did you drink last night?

-I think you would lie to me.
-What did you do?

-I didn't drink.
-Really?

I wish I could say the same.
Have a seat.

-Uh, blow dry me!
-Yeah, honey. Let's blow and go.

Let's get you ready
for this day.

Ready.

When it comes to blow dries,
I do believe that bigger

is better because, listen,
gravity is going to take over.

It's gonna weigh everything
down, so go big or go home!

Oh, I love this bouncy blowout
that you made me.

Yeah, it's kinda fun.

This is kinda like
a Marilyn vibe.

Yeah, totally.

My whole plan in life is
I wanna be, like, a billionaire

and then I want Robby and I
to live in Miami

at a retirement community,
topless.

And I want him to give me
blow dries every day

before I hit the beach.

You know, I wanna
go out with you.

We'd have a good time.

Yeah, I'm ready
whenever you are.

One night we'll get so wasted
and throw up on each other.

Yes. That's exactly
what I'm all about.

I want that. Like, I wanna
do a shot off of your chest.

Oh, honey, oh, God.
Get ready for that.

I'll do one off yours
if you do one off mine, right?

-Oh, yeah.
-That'll be good.

-Hi, Christopher Michael.
-Hi.

-I'm good. How are you?
-Good to see you, Chris.

This hair's blowing out
a real treat.

It's starting to bounce
and behave.

-It's bouncy.
-I love it.

The business of beauty
in Los Angeles is cut throat.

It's Hollywood.

Um, you are only as good
as your last hairdo.

-See, you look amazing.
-Well, whatever.

Honey, it's been a long road.

Do you know what's
interesting there to me?

What?

And this is just
me being a b*tch,

but that girl's hair is pretty,
but it looks nothing like

-a f*cking Ted Gibson hair.
-Oh, it's not.

[laughing]

It's Robby hair.

It was a remarkable
blow dry, to say the least.

Remarkable? What it was,
was not finished.

-Yeah.
-That's the challenge.

-The higher the hair...
-The closer to God.

The closer to God, honey.

-[Ted] That sounds like a sound.
-[Laura] Oh, yes, whoo.

Do you like how everyone's like,
pop-pop?

That sound, pop-pop.

-Yeah.
-Right.

[music]

-Let us in.
-Let us in.

Oh, my God, I'm about to eat
this baguette. I'm so hungry.

We have to eat something.
We have to nourish.

These clients, honey,
they're taking it out of us.

-Uh.
-Uh.

-Oh, it's so, mm.
-That is good.

-It's like we're in France.
-Oh, it is like we're in France.

-We should go to France.
-But here we are in La Brea.

-[Laura] Hello. Hello?
-Hello. Meow.

♪ We're growing up now
I'll show you what we got ♪

♪ It's time to throw down ♪

♪ 'Cause we've been
Living it up ♪

♪ We're going so hard
And no, we can't get enough ♪

-Oh, my gosh, baby.
-I'm excited for you.

This is so good.

-There's Chris.
-Hello.

Oh, my God, we were
talking about you.

-Oh, my God. How are you?
-So good to see you.

-Hey, Adeel. How are you doing?
-You look so good.

Today Kim and I are
doing a photo sh**t

for "Modern Luxury Magazine".

And we're so excited. The photo
sh**t after is to feature us

as this month's modern men.

And we are doing it on the most
spectacular, fabulous rooftop

in all of west Hollywood.

[Chris] I'm so amazed
every time I come to the salon

and I see you going
from chair to chair.

It really is art,
what you do for people.

You know, really transform
people into beautiful artwork.

You know this, out of all of us,

the reality of everything is
that people don't have time.

They personally tell me,
they can be a billionaire

and they can say,
"I have 30 minutes."

Britney Spears gives me
12 minutes.

I have to do highlights
in a single process.

Then she goes in the shower.

I see her later.
Give her a kiss. Good luck.

We're in LA, one of the toughest
cities to make it.

And for us to make it together
and separately, and join

makes us a power couple.

-Ready!
-[Man] Hello!

I know, but we don't
just, like, sit there and go,

"Oh, hello, power couple."

-How are you?
-Good.

-How are you?
-Good to see you.

You guys look amazing.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

My God, you weren't kidding.
Wow.

[music]

Give me one really fierce
straight at the camera.

Perfect.

Are we modern men?
Are we Angelina modern men?

Here.

♪ I know you want me ♪

Adeel knows how
to work the camera.

[laughing]

Now that I've come out
to my brothers, I feel...

Just that much more comfortable
doing a photo sh**t like this.

And it's actually our
first photo sh**t together

as a g*y couple.
And, it's just,

it feels like everything is
starting to align.

[Kim] Adeel's outfits, I mean,
they are flashy.

They give attitude.
They fit his personality.

I'm learning all about Libras.
Libras love attention.

[Adeel] Listen, the attention,
I don't need the attention.

It just comes to me.

[laughs]

We had, like, the fashion.
Then we had just, like, had fun.

[Adeel] Kim is TikTok.
I'm Instagram.

Kim is a little bit
more free spirited.

Oh, I love that one.

That's a new billboard
here in LA.

It'll be like, Kim Vo Salon.

Let's get one more of them.
And then I think...

-Perfect.
-Cool.

-I think we got-
-We got it.

-Amazing shots. Yeah.
-We got it. Thank you, guys.

-Amazing. You guys are amazing.
-Thank you, Chris.

-Thank you. Are you kidding?
-All right. Should we head out?

-Yeah, let's go.
-After you.

-This moment here.
-It's a wrap.

♪ Oh, there's nothing
That I won't do ♪

♪ To get to you ♪

Hey, you.

All of a sudden this handsome,
dashing, flawless man walks in

and I'm not looking
in the mirror.

I'm looking at Steven,
Laura's boyfriend.

Now, look it. They gave me,
like, a little blow dry.

-I love it, looks amazing.
-Right?

You know, Steven is taking on a
lot, being in this relationship.

I mean, he could be surfing
every morning and then going

to, you know, Soho House.
But instead, he chooses to be

with my two crazy cats,
my two dogs, my two lizards,

my two kids, my mom,
my grandma and me.

Wait, let me look
at what you got.

-I got you some supplies.
-You're the best.

-We got...
-I love you.

Extensions. I love you. Coffee?

-Ooh, for me? Mm.
-All right.

-I want you to meet everyone.
-Yeah.

Because I told everyone
my hot boyfriend was coming.

Aw, baby, you brought...
Thank you so much, by the way.

-What's this?
-Oh, that's a croissant.

Oh, good. I'm so hungry.

Seriously, any time
that Steven's with me,

I love showing him off
because one, he's so hot.

And he just looks like a model.

Wait, come meet
my-my hot boyfriend.

-Wait, come here.
-Yes. I want to meet everyone.

Hey, nice to meet you.
I'm Robby.

I'm responsible
for this beauty's hair.

-Isn't she gorgeous?
-I love it. She's beautiful.

And you two are beautiful.
Oh, my goodness.

To be a fly on that wall.
Oh, my goodness.

This is the owner.

-He's amazing.
-Amazing salon, I love it.

Thank you so much.
I'm glad you're here.

So there is an age gap. I am
five years older than Steven.

I know you have to go to work.
I love you so much.

-You look so pretty.
-Thank you.

-I love you.
-I love you.

I'm gonna start coloring,
um, this hair.

-I love this hair.
-Thank you.

I am 100% a cougar. I am a MILF.

-Oh, my baby.
-I love you.

I love you.

[music]

-Hey, you.
-Yay.

-Welcome.
-Thank you.

Oh, I'm gonna give you
the biggest hug.

-Thank you for coming in today.
-I'm so excited you're in LA.

I know, right?

After I cut her hair,
Jules told me I needed

to be more opinionated

and be more vocal
about getting my own chair.

I think she used the term
"big d*ck energy."

Do you think it needs
more in the ends?

-We absolutely can. Yeah.
-No, do you think?

Having Cheyenne working on me
doesn't feel the same

as when I'm having
other hair stylists work on me.

Like, that confidence.
It's like big d*ck energy.

So talk to me about your hair.

Somebody over processed you
a little bit,

so you had
some breakage going on.

-A little breakage.
-Okay.

Very grown out. It just
needs some TLC, I think.

You got it. You got it.

When Jules says "big d*ck
energy," I just think she means

you've gotta be
a little c*ck sometimes

because a hair stylist in LA,
you...

You know,
people wanna see the best.

And I need to prove
that I'm one of them.

So I can definitely see
where they pulled it through

and you've got that breakage.

Are you happy with the blonde
on the bottom, the shade?

-I like it cool, the cool tone.
-Yeah. Okay.

So nice, bright blonde and cool.

So what we're gonna do,
we're gonna go through.

We're gonna do a nice highlight
in through here.

We're only gonna be
touching those roots, though.

Nothing should be pulled
through here

'cause that's how that happens,
unfortunately.

And then probably what I'll do
is glaze it at the sink,

which kinda helps keep
those cool tones in there.

We'll put a little bond
rebuilder in.

And just start
to make it feel a lot better.

Kim is coming in today

and I'm gonna step up
and show him what I can do.

I'm ready to bring
some big d*ck energy.

[music]

Hey, love.

-Hi, how are you?
-How's it going?

-Good.
-Hi, how are you?

-Bonnie, this is Kim.
-Nice meeting you.

-Hi, nice to meet you too.
-You're all set up.

-I could tell.
-I am. Thank you.

Oh, these look fabulous,
Cheyenne.

You did these beautifully.

What are you doing?
You're doing some blonde?

So she was over processed,
as you can kinda see.

Right. Right. Right.

So we're just
touching up the roots

and we're just doing
a nice heavy foil on her.

And that's it.

You know it's a great
application is

on the side you've angled it.

So it's gonna really just blend.

-Around her face.
-Right in the face.

She wears her hair back a lot,
so we had to.

And that,
and that's really a fun trick

'cause sometimes people don't
do it a little bit angled.

They do it a little bit
more horizontal and vertical

and this is a little angled.

Bias, we call it.
Like clothing on the bias.

-Yes. Exactly.
-I love that.

And this is, like, a bias
highlight. Which is gorgeous.

It's tailored a little bit more
to the way you wear it.

I love that you remembered that

'cause I do like to wear my hair
up, especially in the summer.

So these are all the things
I'm glad you remembered.

Of course.

Cheyenne is living proof

with heart, passion and honestly
really hard work and focus,

you can make it. You can grow.

A pleasure meeting you, my love.
This'll be beautiful.

I know it's gonna be beautiful.

I'll be back, Bonnie.

[music]

We're pretending it's vodka.

My mom and grandma are
always there for me.

I mean, they live with me.
They help me with my kids.

They've helped me
go through my divorce.

When I had to leave my ex,
they were there for me.

They moved in with me.

Like, they're my biggest
support system.

So I wanted to book
a little beauty day

'cause clearly you guys
both need your color done, okay?

And so today I know that they
really take care of themselves

with their hair and their nails.

So I really wanted to make
today special for them.

Did you get your papers signed
today, your divorce papers?

Um, yeah, actually. Once you
sign it's like, boom, bam,

thank you, ma'am. We are done.
Ready for a new life.

Grandma, you know
I'm having a big divorce party?

-Really?
-I am.

And I'm gonna get a sash
that says, "divorced as f*ck."

I have friends who are like,

"Oh, my God,
that's so sad, Laura."

"You're having a divorce party.
This is a sad day."

No. f*ck you.
This is the best day of my life.

I'm getting f*cking divorced.

I wanna have a divorce party
because why not?

I mean, I was married
for 15 years

and we're closing that book
and reopening another one.

I really wanna make
you guys feel good today,

nice and bright.

And also I wanna sign you up
for a dating app, Mom. Okay?

Grandma, you too.

-Oh, my gosh.
-Oh, boy.

I think it's both time
for you guys to start dating.

I don't know. I haven't dated
for a long time.

Well, it's time. It's time
to let go and spread your wings.

Grandma, what is your biggest
red flag about a guy?

Like, just in general? Like,
what is, like, an ew about a guy

that, like, would turn you off?

I don't like if they've
got bad teeth or BO, or...

What else, Grandma?

They have to have
clean feet, right, Mom?

-Clean feet?
-Yeah.

Clean feet.

If you haven't
got clean sheets, yeah.

My mom really, really needs
someone.

I don't know if she's willing
to look for that.

My grandma, on the other hand,
she is on the prowl.

She will go up to a man if
he's cute and say, "You're hot."

I think me and Steven definitely
want to get married.

And then, you know, maybe me
and Steven will have a baby.

You know?
Both of those things can happen.

-I love that.
-Yeah?

He's-he's such a good guy.

I love how he leaves you
little notes in bottles.

Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. He left
me one, actually, this morning.

And it...
But I couldn't open it.

So I had to...
I cracked it outside.

I think there's still
glass outside, actually.

-Oh, gosh.
-I threw it against the wall.

Maybe that's what I have
in the bottom of my foot.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Before my divorce,
I feel like I was so unhappy

that I, like,
I was almost, like, numb.

And so you just begin... You just
wanna, like, you just live.

And you're like, oh,
I don't even care if I die alone

with cats at this point.
You know what I mean?

I'm so happy with my life right
now, but, like,

I think a lot of women that are
in marriages that are bad,

they have to stay in them.

-They're trapped.
-They're trapped.

And a lot of people I talk to,
especially clients,

they're like, "I'm trapped,
I could never get out,"

because, you know,
they never worked.

And, you know, I feel for them,

but luckily I have
you and Grandma.

And, like, you guys
helped me so much.

And then I kind of
just went off, you know?

-Yeah.
-So I love you guys so much.

Thank you for always
being there for me.

We love you.
We're always gonna be here.

-My little... My team.
-Yep.

But yeah, I'm really looking
forward to this divorce party

because I feel like it's, like,
a chapter of, like, life for me

that will be closed.
You know what I mean?

I just feel like it's been
so stressful and I kind of...

I'm just coming into me now. So-

-You're ready.
-I'm ready.

I'm just... I'm just ready
to move on.

[music]

[Adeel] Oh, my gosh. We have
so much going on this week.

I don't know what to wear.
Did we pick out your outfit yet?

No, but hey, you know what?

We've got...
We've got some serious stuff.

So, Adeel, you didn't see this,
but Cheyenne did an amazing job.

This client wears her hair back.

And she did a bias cut highlight
all the way back. Fabulous.

Okay. All right, Cheyenne.

She's gonna be one of our stars.

-I know that. I know that.
-I know we know that.

I'm not letting her know that.

I feel like she needs
to be a little...

Why wouldn't you let her
know that?

-That's so bad.
-It's not bad

because when you push someone
out of their comfort zone,

that's when they excel.

Jules told her she needs to,
like, she has confidence,

but, like, she needs
to exude the confidence.

-You know what I mean?
-LA is tough.

Listen, you don't get anything
for nothing in this town.

I don't know. I think she's
very close to getting a chair.

-Sure.
-You don't think she is?

But it needs to be perfect.

I think maybe we should kind of
re-evaluate or keep evaluating

how ready she is for this chair.

[people cheering]

Tonight is a very big night
for me

because it's kind of, like,
a rebirthing of myself.

Look at this! Divorced AF!
Oh, my God! Thank God!

Out with the old,
in with the new.

[cheering]

I just want to thank you guys
for being here

and celebrating
this divorce party with me

'cause you guys are very special
to me,

each one, every one of you.

And I love you guys so much.

Um, so let's get drunk
and party, darlings.

-Love you, Laura!
-Whoo!

I'm just happy to say,
well, I'm divorced next week,

but I have a boyfriend.

She has the biggest energy,
biggest heart.

It's really inspiring.
She's the most beautiful person

and I'm so lucky
to be by her side.

Cheers to being
divorced as f*ck.

[cheering]

I was unaware
that the amount of shots

that were going to be
poured to me at this party,

but, you know, I think people
were just such in a joyous mood

that everyone just
kept passing around shots.

What are we getting?
Oh, water?

-Do you need a water?
-Have four shots.

I don't know. Maybe-

Just a little sip. Just so
you're not getting too drunk.

Drink a little bit.

Have fun, but drink
some water too.

I just wanna tell you guys,
tonight,

if Adeel does walk in, though,

'cause he was supposed to style
me for this whole night tonight.

He was like,
"I wanna style you, b*tch."

Like, "Blah, blah, blah."

You have no budget
for a dress anyway.

[Laura] No. Sorry.
This isn't gonna happen.

I definitely don't feel
comfortable

with Adeel styling me. One,

because I'm seeing a side
of Adeel

that I really don't like.

Um and two, I don't know.

He just gives me the...
He gives me a bad vibe.

I pretty much almost
wanted to throw him

in the pool the other day.

The one that actually did it
or the boyfriend?

Adeel or Adala.

-What'd you say?
-Adeela?

The one with the Gucci pants,
but you called them what?

-Remember the goofy pants?
-What did you call them?

-The goofy pants.
-Goofy!

Goofy.

I don't know if Adeel's
gonna show up today,

but I don't really care.

I'm gonna find my story.

-Are you drinking?
-I look hot.

Did you order my drink?

[music]

Thank you.

Yeah, I'm sure Laura's ashamed
of her behavior with me

on the phone the other day,
but I'm still gonna show up.

I'm gonna put away
all the bullshit.

And this moment is
just about celebrating Laura

and this new chapter
in her life.

-Hi.
-Oh, my God.

All of a sudden I see
this man with a thong

with see-through pants walk in
and of course, it's Adeel.

I don't know really
what to feel.

Let's go say hi.

No, I don't want to.
I'm so scared.

-Okay, but I don't want to.
-You're divorced, honey.

-Let's go say hi.
-No, I don't want to.

-Hi.
-How are you?

Oh, babe! How are you?
Good to see you.

Come get a drink, honey.
Come on in.

-Hi.
-How are you? I'm sorry. Oh, hi.

-Here. These are for you.
-Okay. Aw, thank you, Adeel.

-You're so sweet.
-And a little gift.

-I think you'll like it.
-Aw, you're so sweet.

-I think you'll find it funny.
-I love it. Okay, fine.

-Let's pull it out.
-Okay. Wait.

Oh, my God!
You guys!

Oh!

Look at that, honey!

Would I ever give someone
a pink dildo? I think I would.

And I think
Laura's just the person

you give a pink strap-on dildo
to, so... Good on you.

I thought she could get some
use out of it and enjoy it.

It's a practical gift.

It's still a great gift.

I think it's really funny that
Adeel decides to bring guests

that actually aren't invited.
When I see Adeel bring,

I don't know what her name is.
Is it Laura... Lauren, maybe?

I have no idea.
I kind of get annoyed

because one,
I don't know who she is.

And two, I don't like
her hair color.

Okay, you guys. So um...
This part of the table,

you missed the memo
'cause they were late.

-Fabulously.
-How do you guys know me?

Okay? Yes,
you don't know me very well.

-Not yet. No.
-Who are you, actually?

-I'm Kim's assistant.
-What? I'm sorry, what?

-Kim's assistant.
-Who?

-Kim.
-Lauren.

Oh, hi. I'm Laura.
Why is she here?

[Lauren] She just, like,
kept coming at me,

trying to, like,
be condescending.

Like, "Who are you?
Why are you invited?"

But I'm just gonna sit back and
let her look like an as*h*le.

No, she's the best.
She's the best.

Morgan, shut the f*ck up.
Shut the f*ck up.

Shut the f*ck up.
Shut up. Turn around.

You're being that person
that I don't like.

Laura, how many
drinks have you had?

-None. I've actually-
-Oh, my God.

I love her,
but she's just too much Jesus.

My best friend would never
talk to me like that.

Are you kidding me?

First of all,
that's not a real friend.

What did we just walk into?

The whole thing was
a total sh*t show.

Everyone seems so disjointed.

Half the people seemed like they
didn't even want to be there.

The other half seemed
like they were just ready

for, like, a brawl.

It was definitely a different
crowd than I'm used to.

[music]

You know, after that
fabulous party you guys had,

which was so much fun,
by the way,

Ted and Jason called saying
they needed a staff meeting.

It was my day off, honey.
I was still recovering.

-I was hungover as sin.
-Wait, what was it about?

It was about Ted. He was crying.
He was bawling.

And they were
kinda crucifying me

for having fun with you guys,
having a good time.

I think,
a little jealousy at hand.

'Cause we accept you.

Your brand does not match up
with Ted's brand.

And excuse me if
I'm overstepping-

No, no, no, no. It's all good.

I feel like you're just
on a different level.

I didn't tell you guys this yet.

After we fought, literally two
hours after he left the party,

-Jason goes, "f*ck you."
-f*ck you?

So Kim and Ted had a little
lunch and I got a text.

Jason goes, "Hey, guys,

I'm glad Kim and Ted were
able to clear the air."

"I apologize
for the 'f*ck you' above."

"I was heated
and that was unnecessary."

"I'm looking forward to putting
it all behind us and moving on."

Basically, just saying,
"Oh, sorry, let's move on."

What I did not hear was,
"I apologize for accusing Kim

of something that was not true."

-Bingo.
-Something that was so dirty,

so malicious.
He didn't apologize to me

for, like, going so crazy.

You know, so it's like...
I don't know.

I don't know
if I accept the apology.

I kinda need
to see a little bit more.

♪ Your h* is thirsty
Go get some water ♪

♪ Don't show no mercy
Don't even bother ♪

-What are you doing?
-Nancy.

It's nice to see your face.

I met Nancy, my astrologer,
through a certain celebrity.

And that's all I'm gonna say.

I have talked to Nancy
for a decade

and I do not make major
decisions without her guidance.

-That's Orson.
-This is the new baby.

-[Nancy] Oh, so beautiful.
-[Ted] Isn't he gorgeous?

Did you want
to look at his chart?

-Sure, that'd be fun.
-Yeah.

[Nancy] Orson is gonna have
two speeds, go and sleep.

[laughing]

That's basically him
right there.

He doesn't know what size
he is. He's gonna be in love

with big dogs and small dogs

and all different kinds
of dogs.

This chart is...
He's, like, king for his life.

[laughing]

Oh, my God.
I've become the kind of person

who has their chart done
for their dog.

Embarrassing.

[Ted] Nancy,
I have a question for you.

So we've been going
through a lot with our team

at Starring By Ted Gibson.

We went to a party. Ted's
been sober for a very long time.

Over 25 years.

The host of the party put
some alcohol in Ted's drink.

We both got really upset.

And we felt like our team
didn't really have our back.

I am so upset at each
and every one of you right now.

And I can't believe
you would do that.

I was keeping up face
for Starring.

I thought I was being
a team player, honestly.

I would like to know...
Can we trust them?

[Nancy] So let me just give
you a little, tiny piece

that might be helpful.

There is an employee.

So do you have anybody
December 1st to December 29?

Does anybody fall there?

-Yes, I do.
-Oh, do you?

Oh, really? Is this the person
who is doing damage control?

Interesting.

Sagittarius could only
be one person... Robby.

[Nancy] So you have to decide
who your friends are

because employees aren't
necessarily your friends.

Right.

[Nancy] It's a really
hard lesson to learn.

-Thank you.
-Bye.

[Nancy] You're welcome.

-[sighs]
-Wow.

You know, I'm-I'm like this
on the top of my seat

because she's so amazing
and so titillating for me.

Because I think in Robby's head,
I think that he thinks that

he was doing damage control.

-I just think that the choice...
-In his approach.

In his approach
was a little off.

It was a little off, a lot off.

Maybe Robby's not the right fit

for Starring By Ted Gibson
any longer.

[music]

Here she is.

[music]

[Robby] There was arguments.
There was dildos.

There was belly dancers.
There was Baba Ganoush.

This is the divorce party
I was hoping for.

[music]

[clapping]

You're so hot. I love it!
That was so hot.

Yeah, but, like, what do you do?

-Lauren, right? Lauren.
-But what you do-

-Lauren.
-Yeah.

Robyn, so this is
Kim's assistant.

-Nice to meet you.
-She came with Adeel.

-And this is Ted's assistant.
-Perfect.

I'm gonna steal this guy's seat.

I have to bring it up

because it's sitting, like,
at the top of my chest.

-At the last c*ck party...
-Yeah.

You heard everything
that was going on, right?

-It was f*cking nuts.
-And what was your input on it?

I honest to God believe
that was so unintentional.

It's like...

Knowing Kim, there is no way
he would intentionally do that.

But I know for a fact
once I left

everything that did happen
wasn't acceptable.

Definitely, you're gonna side
with Ted

and I'm gonna fight for Kim.

Yeah, definitely fight,

but I'm more so of what's right
and what's wrong.

I also feel like that's
a personal problem for Ted.

What do you mean?

As in I think you should be
viable for yourself.

So you're not like a versus
what's right and what's wrong?

-It's like...
-Absolutely.

-So you're with Kim?
-I'm always with Kim,

but I also feel like there was
definitely a mistake made.

Right.

I don't know
what Robyn's deal is,

but the last thing I want to do
when I'm clocked out

is talk about work.

And I have no idea
what's wrong with her

or who she thinks she is.

I think this conversation
might be over.

Perfect. Love that.

-What's your name again?
-Lauren.

-Lauren.
-Loved meeting you.

Take care, babe.

Lauren, what's wrong?

-Ew.
-Why are you ew-ing?

You know I'm gonna come
for, like, Kim.

Geez, battle of the assistants
at Laura's divorce party.

I've never seen anything
like it.

You have little Lauren
going against rockin' Robyn,

but at the end of the day,
we're hair dressers.

We're having fun. We're making
people look beautiful.

And that's what really matters.

I love you. I'll see you.

I'm gonna put you with
one inch tomorrow.

This might be
the worst party I've been to.

Bye, Laura. Congratulations to
you and your lawyer! All right.

[music]

[music]

[Adeel] Today we're doing a
house call with Marcia Moeller,

a amazing philanthropist.

I cannot believe this.
This house is gorgeous.

I'm so excited to see her.

-Hi.
-Hello.

-So good to see you again.
-Come on in, honey.

-Thank you.
-[Marsha] Welcome.

-Hello.
-Same to you too.

-I'm Lauren.
-Hi, how are you doing?

-Thank you for having us.
-Oh, God. It's a pleasure.

-This'll be fun.
-It's a pleasure.

I'm getting ready
for a charity event

for Providence
St. Joseph Hospital.

And it's representing cancer,
so anyway.

-Dear cause, dear, dear cause.
-Yeah, it is.

A lot of our clients are
the 0.001 percent of the world.

And they create
these insane fortunes

and they give back
and they do a lot with it.

There's a whole philanthropy
world out there that, you know,

they just want to raise
some money for great causes.

-Hi, guys, okay.
-Oh, my gosh.

This is the dress. How insane.

-Do you like it?
-Marsha.

Do you like it?

What do you guys think
we should do for hair?

-I think you need more volume.
-Yeah.

And we do, like, down
and then some curls.

-And then some volume up here?
-Yep.

We're gonna put
a little robe on ya. Perfect.

So you're doing tonight
a fundraiser? Tell me about it.

Fabulous doctors,
fabulous nurses.

My husband, he's been gone
six years this August.

What was his diagnosis?
What was his...

It was stage three lung cancer.

Wow. Did they give him
a time limit?

They thought
he may have two years.

Two years?
And did he go through chemo?

-Chemo and radiation.
-Radiation?

Yes, yes. He would come out
of radiation and say, "Okay,

got my battery charged.
Let's go."

-So it was positive attitude.
-Positive, very positive.

I mean, it kept him
from a two-year diagnosis

to a six-and-a-half.

And I think
it's his positive thinking.

Did you tell everyone?

I did
because they needed to know.

-That worked with you?
-Yes.

Because it was like he was
carrying that burden inside.

-Yeah.
-And you need to talk about it.

You need to share it.

You know, you do because
it kinda releases that burden.

This is an amazing story.

And, uh, she is giving me
some inspiration.

Lauren, I need you to close
your ears on this

-or not get emotional.
-Why?

I would love to share something
with Marsha

and I'm really inspired
by this story.

-You're scaring me.
-I-I know.

And Lauren has been
with me for years.

And my closest ally.

Yes, I need you
to be strong about this.

I don't like
where this is going.

I was diagnosed a few years ago
with cancer.

And same thing,
like with your husband,

where I think the attitude is-is
really important.

And, like, your story's
so inspiring 'cause it's crazy-

-It's scary.
-It's scary.

I mean, it's nice
to admit you're scared.

Four years ago,
I was diagnosed with cancer.

They gave me a diagnosis
and it was death.

I didn't accept that.
I did not want that,

so I wanted to fight it
with all my vigor.

But going back to the salon,

living life,
it's kept me alive.

When did this start?

This started
almost four years ago.

And then with Covid
we opened a new salon.

And I'll be honest with you,
we went through so many changes.

We just didn't want them
to feel, you know,

like this was the Titanic
and we're all going down.

Everyone was going through
a hard time

and I just couldn't
burden them with this.

But I don't want you
to feel like that's a burden

'cause it would have been,
you know, nice to help you

and support you. I know
you have to deal with everyone.

That is a big thing.

People want to be able to help
or do things for you.

Oh, yeah.

And in fairness to them,
you need to let them.

-I can't and I am trying.
-You're always like that.

Try really hard,
because they really want to.

They really want to.

Adeel and I had two things
we had to deal with in our lives

that were really
so secret to us.

One, being Adeel wasn't out
to his family,

but the second was
my cancer diagnosis.

Only now do I feel really strong
enough to share that,

you know?

-[Lauren] It's a lot.
-I know it's heavy.

It's heavy. Only my boyfriend
and my best friend know.

You need to share this.

Now you know. Now you know.

You will feel so much better
when you do share it.

It's time to share it,
share it with the world.

Share it with everyone I know.

You don't have to feel,
you know, any negativity.

You could really, really be
hopeful and have faith.

Well, you look fabulous.

With your volume, I can't wait
to see you in your whole outfit.

-Let's get you dressed.
-Okay.

-I'm so excited.
-I'm looking forward to it.

Thank you.

[Adeel] I'm so glad
the dress fits well.

I feel like you're
ready for jewels now.

I am.

Adeel never even said the word
"cancer" till the other day.

And he whispered it. You know,
we used the word C, the C word.

And it's so interesting
how we hide from this.

-I can't bend down.
-Of course, this is my job.

-Got it.
-Anything for you.

Have fun and we'll see you soon.

I will. Thank you.

-Oh, my God.
-I know.

I can't believe this.
It's pretty overwhelming.

[Lauren] Oh, poor Adeel.
Holy sh*t.

-You wouldn't take any days off.
-I know.

I get so frustrated. I mean...

You know, it's so interesting

'cause I could have
taken days off.

-You kept going, you know?
-It keeps you going.

It kept your mind off of things.

All the memories of, like,

seeing him so wiped
at work days.

And seeing him
really not feeling well,

it wasn't, like, a cold.

It wasn't him being run down.
It was cancer.

I know you have Adeel.
Now you got one more person.

If you tell everyone else,

then you're gonna
have 20 more people.

-Yeah.
-You know?

Do you not want
to tell them, like, at all?

-You know hairdressers.
-I do.

They're tough.
They're like a pack of wolves.

Yeah.

I mean, if they sense
that there's a weak leader,

-they'll leave.
-We're gonna get through it.

I love you, baby.

[Narrator] Next time
on Blowing LA.

Hi, guys.

I can't believe
I'm gonna do this.

[Adeel] I know.

I'm really curious
as to why Kim and Adeel

are hosting this brunch.

I don't want them
to think that I'm weak.

Kim and I have been
going through something.

I don't know how long
I have with him.

I think some are really
gonna take it hard.

And some are gonna,
you know, be shocked.

We love you.

You guys are great.

-Wow.
-Let's give this thing a try.

I would consider
letting Robby go

if his skills are not up to par.

[Robby] My bosses are
kind of swarming around,

watching my every move.

-Just watching that blow out.
-Looking over the shoulder.

If a woman leaves
Starring By Ted Gibson

and doesn't want to go have sex,
we didn't do our job.

-You get your hair done...
-And you wanna get f*cked.

Hard.
