If you love all things hair then you need to tune in to Bravo’s Shear Genius Season 3 which has a whole new look promising more excitement. This is must see TV show for anyone craving their weekly salon fix now that Season 2 of Tabatha’s Salon Takeover is over.
Shear Genius premiers Wednesday, February 3 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo TV. Season 3 will feature Camila Alves in the role of host. The enterprising Brazilian beauty will take over the role formerly held by Jaclyn Smith of “Charlie’s Angels” fame. Camila will be accompanied by celebrity judges Jonathan Antin and Kim Vo. Orlando Pita also makes special appearances adding his voice of expertise as mentor to the contestants.

In each episode, the stylists compete in a short cut challenge – testing technical hairstyling skills, and in the elimination challenge they test creativity and advanced skills. From styling a risqué runway show where the hair must artfully cover areas the outfit does not, to a romance novel shoot, the competition gets fierce as the stylists strive to prove their work is “Shear Genius.”
