Desna's staff includes best friend Jennifer Jenn Lyon , a tenuously sober ex-party girl raising two children from previous relationships; Quiet Ann Judy Reyes , Desna's enigmatic driver who also provides security for the salon; Polly Carrie Preston , a mild-mannered preppy who recently served time in prison for identity theft; and Virginia Karrueche Tran , who makes no effort to hide her boredom and impatience with her job.
