To get a celebrity to come out for a charity event isn't always the easiest thing, but as much as New Jersey often gets a bad reputation, I think we might be one of the states with the hugest hearts! Alexa Prisco, The Glam Fairy of TV's 'Jerseylicious' did not even hesitate when I asked her if she would get involved for the 2011 Ryan's Quest Valentine Ball! Because of her selflessness, we were able to sell tickets to the Ball at local hair salons where anyone purchasing a ticket would be able to enter themselves in to a drawing at THAT salon to get their hair and make-up done complimentary for the evening of the Ball. The catch? (Not that it's a bad one). They would also be representing the salon as their "model" who would work the look and be part of the Glam Slam where Alexa chose THE MOST GLAMTASTIC SALON based on the looks of the evening! Everyone had so much fun with this contest and Alexa really brought excitement in to the room when she walked in with her shiny sequin dress! I just wanted to do a fun little recap for anyone who didn't attend and also for the salons and models who we thank so much for being part!
Alexa is excited to see what Central Jersey has to offer in the glam department!
Katie Mutz is up first representing Salon Cusato. Her make-up and hair were pretty close to perfection and yes, she looks like a real life Barbie doll! Alexa really didn't have anything negative to say at all, but how could she?
Kristin Seitz is also representing! And again, Alexa says the look is near flawless! You wouldn't even know that Kristin is a police officer by day as she looks as though she models for a living!(I may have to put Kristin Seitz in to the 'Best Dress' category! Girl, where did you get that?)
Jaime Young is all smiles as she works it and KNOWS she can! Absolutely breathtaking stunning work by Salon Pure! You can see in a picture above how her hair was pulled to the side and tossled. Her smokey eyes were subtle and rocked! 
I believe the words to Denise Chiarello worked on by Salon Belissima were "Hey Hot Mama!" What I love most about this is that Denise KNOWS she looks good! That's what a great salon can do for you - make you FEEL it too!
Jen Besserman represents Salon Artigiano giving a sweet sophisticated look with an intricate updo while Alyssa Potena (below) goes fierce even shaving a part of her head for this competition! I love that two opposite styles were taken on for this challenge as these girls went 'head to head'. This shows diversity in work under one roof! Alexa was pleased with both!

Robin Cipriano, who was made up by Salon Eclipse, was told that her "sexy" (that we know this red-headed firecracker has) could've been brought out a little more for the evening, but watch out wedding world as this salon knows what they are doing in polished updos! Alexa was impressed by that!
New mom Melissa Hanson had a blast being made over by Salon Di Moda. I believe she let the artists "Snookify" her as she called it! Melissa really looked and felt beautiful! I'm pretty sure Alexa loved this "Jersey look" too!
The very elegant looking Gabby Bagherian, made over by Robert James Salon, is all smiles as Alexa is commenting on how much she loves the flowers in her hair! Nice touch!
Bridget Rogers got a big smile from Alexa when Alexa noticed the peacock feathers in her updo, but moreso, there was some extra glitz and glamour lurking on her eyes which were adorned with tiny blue crystals. This was top notch work done by Great Looks 4 Less.
Wilmary Pardo showed up adorning pure Classic Hollywood due to the excellence of Terra Salon. Alexa commented on how wonderfully this "period piece" (a look of the 20's and 30's) was brought to life and said this team really knows their stuff.
Miss New Jersey Ashleigh Udalovas and Miss New Jersey Oustanding Teen Natalie Ragazzo stand by with the crystal trophy, brought to us from Crown Trophy, ready to award the winner.
And the winner is...Great Looks 4 Less and "Miss Peacock" named by Alexa, for their hot and trendy work on Bridget Rogers!
A huge thank you to the models who put their look in the hands of the professionals, represented the salons, and put on a fabulous show for the crowd! Loved your enthusiasm! You were all glamorous, dahlings!
