No eliminations on Episode 8 of She...

Posted at 11:29 AM • No Comments

Shear Genius Season 3 has already been exciting so far. The judges made Bravo’s reality show even more exciting this week by not sending anyone home this time around.

There are four stylists left now, Brig, Matthew, Janine and Jon. All of them were safe after Episode 8 of Shear Genius Season 3.

When these remaining stylists arrived in the salon, they learned that other competitors must select a tool, a style and an inspiration for them to use on their model. This was their task for the Shortcut Challenge, which was judged by celebrity stylist Mark Townsend.

For the Elimination Challenge, the stylists are charged with updating hairstyles from classic Hollywood movies for an editorial-style photo shoot. This challenge was judged by Allure’s Editor in Chief Linda Wells.

After judging everyone’s styles, Matthew was declared as the winner. The Judges said that Matthew was able to successfully modernize a very old-fashioned look, while keeping it just as sexy.

During Episode 8 of Shear Genius 3, Brig and Jon were the bottom two in the Elimination Challenge. Ideally, one of them had to be eliminated from the show. However, both of them managed to hold their places as no eliminations were made.

The judges didn’t send anyone home this time around, but should they have? You be the judge! Give your views about the judges decision here: www.bravotv.com/shear-genius

April Barton is out of Shear Genius...

Posted at 2:02 PM • No Comments

Shear Genius Season 3 saw the elimination of April Barton in Episode 6 yesterday. The competitors were required to create two different headshot looks on working actresses that showcased their client’s personality and versatility.

The guest judge on Episode 6 was Kevin Mancuso, Nexxus Creative Director. He along with Jonathan Antin and Kim Vo were closely judging the Shear Genius contestants on their cutting skills during the Short Cut Challenge. This challenge required interpreting geometric shapes into angular hairstyles and Janine emerged as the winner.

The Elimination Challenge required the stylists to create a look for an actress for her headshot. It was important to capture the emotion and role that the actress was going for. To make this task more challenging, judges sprung an additional challenge on the Shear Genius 3 contestants.

Once every team had finished with their models looks, they were supposed to change the actresses looks completely in 30 minutes for a second headshot. This was tricky but the winner would get a chance to be photographed for a Nexxus editorial for Allure Magazine. In the end, Brig won the elimination challenge and April was eliminated.

April is based in New York where she manages her salon – Suite 303, started in 1995. Her salon is committed to artistic expression and has earned the nickname “Edward Scissorhands.”

Last week Shear Genius 3 lost its youngest competitor when Amy Michleb was eliminated. After April’s elimination yesterday, Bravo’s reality show has only 6 contestants left who will make the show more interesting and challenging in the coming weeks.

Shear Genius Season 3 loses its you...

Posted at 6:00 PM • No Comments

Bravo’s creative hair-styling competition series Shear Genius saw the elimination of another stylist in Episode 5. Amy Michleb from Toronto, Canada was eased off as she could not impress the judges during the elimination challenge.

Amy is a young and dynamic stylist who is actively involved in the hair industry. She was the youngest stylist on Shear Genius season 3 which has gone international for the first time. Her elimination means that the competition is over for the youngest competitor.

The elimination challenge on Episode 5 of Shear Genius 3 was that the women will be styled in 1940’s hairstyles of finger waves and pin curls. The guest judge was Robert Vetica, a Hollywood hairstylist.

The stylists were given a challenge in which their models had husbands who were all currently serving in the military overseas. Their hair had to be given a 1940s style so that the women looked beautiful when they filmed messages to their men.

Amy, April and Janine found themselves among the bottom three as judges gave their verdict. Amy struggled because her hairstyle was turning 1930’s depression era. The judges came down on Amy, telling her that it wasn’t a style, it was a set, and that led to her elimination from Shear Genius season 3.

Amy’s husband – Woody Michleb, an award winning stylist himself was featured on ScissorBoy’s cosmetology program. In that episode, he demonstrated new hairstyling trends for Fall/Winter 2009.

After Amy’s elimination from Shear Genius 3, there are seven stylists who will now compete for the ultimate prize of $100,000 and prove they are the best of the bunch.
