Age Before Beauty - Season 1 (2018)

When her children leave home Bel Finch returns to run the Mirror-Bel beauty salon with her vain, self-deluding sister Leanne and her saucy mother Ivy-Rae. Leanne feels resentful though co-workers Heidi and Tina are happy to see Bel, who swiftly revitalizes the ailing salon. Bel's husband Wesley has a brief affair with the glamorous Lorelei Bailey, for whom he has installed a new kitchen but feels ashamed of himself and ends it. However Leanne's husband Teddy, who has long been in love with Bel, exploits the situation.

Now aware of Wes's infidelity Bel plans to meet Lorelei, disguising herself as a plain dumpy woman called Sheila Hoff. She is dismayed by her rival's youth and looks and goes for a glamorous make-over. Despite his guilt feelings Wes resumes the affair with Lorelei but, armed with its knowledge, Bel plans revenge. Meanwhile Bel foils Leanne's attempts to undermine her and the salon but is surprised when Teddy tells her a lie about his wife.

Still envious of Bel Leanne plans to promote the salon with mobile billboards but it is a costly flop and Teddy sides with Bel against her whilst maintaining his lie about his wife. Teddy, along with his gay son Dante from his first marriage, continues to compromise Wes whilst family deceptions are exposed at the salon's official opening. Bel gets Lorelei to confess her feelings about Wes whilst disguised as Sheila but Lorelei is suspicious of her and works out her true identity.
