AJ’s of Chicago is one of the go-to beauty schools in the Windy City with an eccentric staff and exclusive clientele, including Jennifer Hudson, Angela Bassett, Tyra Banks and Iman. Throughout the season, AJ and his staff of super stylists will create amazing looks for red carpet and fasion runway events and face off against rivals while catapulting AJ’s of Chicago to national success.
A multi-platform campaign will kick-off online and on demand in the weeks leading up to the June 11 cable premiere, providing original content and opportunities to get to know the cast. Launching later this month, the “Chicagolicious” show page on myStyle.com will introduce viewers to the unique team of stylists and feature weekly blogs from the cast, episode recaps and exclusive photos and video.
In addition, the “How to be ‘Chicagolicious” micro-series will offer fans make-up, hair and fashion tips, including how to create the most dramatic eye, maintain your weave and match your hair to your outfit.
