Plot Synopsis

CHICAGOLICIOUS follows AJ Johnson, the owner of one of the leading beauty salons in Chicago, and his team of talented yet fiery hair and makeup artists, as they create amazing looks for red-carpet and fashion runway events while facing off against rivals and expanding his business nationally by servicing more elite clientele and solidifying his place in Chicago society. AJ's celebrity clients include Angela Bassett and Iman. In the series premiere, AJ's publicist, Julie, has just the event for AJ that will help get him and his staff noticed, especially by one of Chicago's society bloggers. For the gala, his salon will provide the hair and make-up for all the models who will surround the ballroom as living statues; however, the rivalry between Valincia and Katrell threatens to damage AJ's dreams of grandeur. Meanwhile, Niki is concerned that Howard's overly friendly attention to the clients is making some uncomfortable so she tries to tone down his flirting.
