Plot
[edit]The sitcom followed energetic, ambitious, chubby Jackie (Jackie Guerra), a Yale University graduate who now has a trendy hair salon in Los Angeles, California, attends law-school classes at night, and longs to find a man. She shares an apartment with her friends Dominique (Leah Remini), a cynical assistant at Ventura Records, and Susan (Mia Cottet), who's about to get her psychotherapist license and is neurotic herself. She's good friends with her co-workers at the salon, Rosa (Tracy Vilar) and Freddy (Harry Van Gorkum), an obnoxious, womanizing English hairstylist. Rounding out the cast are Madeline (Roxanne Beckford), a yuppie executive who lives across the hall, and Nathan (Craig Anton), Jackie's klutzy, sex-obsessed childhood friend.
The WB network called Jackie Guerra "the first Latina to star in her own series".
