Big news, New Jersey residents: The Garden State will no longer be defined by “The Sopranos” and “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.”
Fuggedaboutit! Thanks to The Style Network, New Jersey will no longer be known just for its abrasive personalities and big hair. Then again, maybe it will.../Credit HBO (above) and Bravo (below)
No, sirree. Instead, the little state that could will from now on be known as “Jerseylicious”… or so The Style Network hopes.
The network has given the greenlight to the *reality* show – and yes, it’s most definitely called “Jerseylicious” – which will follow both the professional and personal lives of six hair stylists. The action, according to New Jersey Newsroom, will take place at The Gatsby Salon in Somerset County’s Green Brook (which also happens to be the home of “Real Housewife of New Jersey” Teresa Giudice’s favorite furniture store, Unique Furniture).
“Our viewers are in for a wild ride when they enter this hairspray mayhem,” Salaam Coleman Smith, president of The Style Network, said in a statement obtained by New Jersey Newsroom. “We love that this series takes a fun look at the always entertaining personal lives and real-life drama of this outrageous staff while also capturing the fabulous makeovers and ‘Jerseylicious’ styles at the salon. It’s a perfect combination for Style’s young female audience.”
The salon, located on Route 22, is run by Gayle and Christy, a mother/daughter team. After two marriages, Gayle is back on the dating scene, and Christy is working hard at building up her stake in the business, says the article. Other stylists profiled on the show include Gigi, who is described as a “Bridezilla”-wannabe, and Anthony, the lone male who is trying to provide for his family.
The show, which is set to debut in the spring, will also be filming in other Central New Jersey locales. It is produced by Endemol USA, which also produces “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” “Deal or No Deal,” Big Brother” and “Wipeout.”

WHEN WHEN!! THis is sooo exciting!! I want my sister to get a chance on Extreme Makeover home edition that i watch all the time! She lost her job and is in trouble and fearing of losing her home after all her hard work! She is a cancer survivor and has had so many operations and now lost her job and needs so much help! She lives in N.C. Her husband lost his job too and struggles to get another one! They need help for sure. She called on her car loans to make her payments lower and they won’t even work with her! It is really hurtful to her and she is getting so upset!! Any help would be so wonderful!
