Season 2

Gina owns her own hair salon, but she dresses more like a hooker from the '80's than a businesswoman. She prefers tight miniskirts, tube tops, spandex pants, and accessories like feather boas and fringe.

Stacy and Clinton try to help Gina retain her need to look sexy and youthful while maintaining a professional image. Nick tones down her hairstyle, while Carmindy updates her makeup for the 21st century.

She's about to go back to school, but before she does, Stacy and Clinton need to give her some lessons in grown-up style that will make her look more like the woman she is — not the child she was.

Aspiring actor and community theater director David loves to wear outlandish costumes on and off stage, and his casual wear is usually tank top shirts and cutoff shorts.

They asked Stacy and Clinton to rescue this twenty-seven-year-old teacher from making herself look at least twenty years older than she is.

As if the bright colored scrunchies and tie dye shirts worn at the office weren't enough, her best friend also complains about Michele's zinc pink lipstick — the same shade she's worn since high school. She loves to go to yoga and Pilates classes and is barely over 5 feet tall. She wears a size ""0"" which may account for why she never throws any of her clothes away. But according to her closest and dearest friends, that's no reason to still have poofy hair and Flashdance sweats. Michele's friends and colleagues feel that her appearance does not reflect the savvy, witty personality she possesses.

Marie likes dark '70s aviator-style sunglasses and only wears black, black and more black. She describes her black obsession as ""mix-and-match"" — meaning she can wear any top with any bottom.

Carmindy gives them simple makeup tips to recreate the 40's and 60's looks, respectively.

She also works one day a week in an office where she tries to adapt her inappropriate (often sheer halter top club

She's overloaded with glitzy hats and accessories, and for bad hair days she has a selection of wigs.

Stacy and Clinton want to show Lisa that dressing in grown-up clothes doesn't mean she'll spend more time getting dressed in the morning.

Will works on the Internet side of an insurance company, and Nicole works in freelance marketing. Will has recently lost a lot of weight in preparation for his wedding, but at 6 foot 3 inches he's still a big man. Nicole nominated Will because he's wearing the same clothes he wore before he lost weight — only now he rolls the waistbands so his trousers don't fall down. And it's all about casual wear. He thinks soccer jerseys are far more fashionable than basketball or football as they are better cut and made of material that breathes!

Her friends and family say that even when she leaves the house, Tiffany looks like she is ready for the gym.
