"Shear Genius, Season 2, Introduction" |
Am I the only one watching the filler show between Top Chef and Project Runway? This show rather amuses me. The challenges are ludicrous. I don't know if any of you watched last season, but the ability to cut hair with garden shears really is not a skill *I* look for when choosing a stylist. The host and judges:
Jaclyn Smith, the host and judge. Her bio tells us she is "an award winning actress, a designer and role model." Kelly Atterton, judge, replaced Michael Carl as a judge. She is the West Coast editor of Allure magazine who recently broke the news "that a popular hair straightening treatment contained dangerously high levels of formaldehyde" and "has interviewed a number of celebrities".
Kim Vo, judge, replaced Sally Hershberger. From his bio, we get this interesting tidbit "Vo is also known as 'King of the TV Makeovers'." But seriously, he is recognized as a top colorist, and has been able to "develop and refine his own special approach to color, a technique that enables him to insure that hair and complexion are totally compatible and always with a natural look."
Rene Fris, mentor. "Hi, hi!" Fris' accolades have included: Head Stylist at Elizabeth Arden's Red Door Salon at Saks 5th Avenue, Celebrity Stylist for John Frieda Salons, Grooming Specialist on the TV series “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” in Europe, author of two best selling men's and women's grooming books, owner of an internationally acclaimed product line bearing his name, and a successful modeling career with the Wilhelmina Modeling Agency.
The stylists:
Charlie, 38, Denver, CO "has spent the last twenty years perfecting his craft of hairdressing" Daniel, 28, Dallas, TX "began to do his parents hair at the age of nine"
Dee, 37, Miami, FL "stepped foot in the industry 10 years ago, and hasn't looked back since"
Gail, 25, Columbus, OH "entered college with the goal of becoming a doctor" but realized "her passion for the hair and beauty industry" and changed her major
Glenn, 36, Decatur, AL "Although Glenn entered college a chemical engineering major, it didn't take long for her figure out that this wasn't her true calling. At 23, she entered cosmetology school at a local community college and never looked back"
Matthew, 37, Dallas, TX "attended cosmetology school in Dallas in 1988". In a video clip, Matthew lets us know that the only thing he loves more than doing hair is his wife.
Meredith, 36, Chicago, IL "briefly attended fashion design school before realizing her true calling" In a video clip, I believe Meredith is the one who tells us she's just the cutest thing we've seen.
Nekisa, 29, Concord, CA "attended beauty school while still in high school and graduated from the International Beauty Academy at the age of 18"
Nicole, 24, New York City, NY "was a stylist for four years before landing her dream job with renowned stylist Nick Arrojo (arkie's note: hair makeover stylist for What Not To Wear) in New York"
Oshun, 31, Los Angeles, CA "discovered his passion for hair at age 10" He's deep, he's Oshun.
Parker, age not available on Bravo's site, West Palm Beach, FL "began his career as a stylist by acquiring a bachelor's degree as a sculptor. At 24, he attended the renowned Vidal Sassoon Academy ...first stylist to graduate the demanding Klinger Education Program"
Paulo 37, San Jose, CA "been in the hairstyling industry for over eighteen years"

After we meet the contestants, and learn that he's Oshun, he's deep, and some stuff about the others that I've pretty much already forgotten, we move on to the Shortcut challenge. The models all come in, and they're all wearing safety glasses. Jaclyn tells the stylists that people always say they "could do it blindfolded", now the stylists get to prove it and have 45 minutes to do so. OK, WTH? How much do you think they have to pay the models to let someone wearing a blindfold come near them with a pair of scissors or other cutting implements? Safety glasses would NOT be enough protection, IMO. Anyhoo... here's the before and afters: Charlie:
Daniel:
Dee:
Gail:
Glenn:
Matthew:
Meredith:
Nekisa:
Nicole:
Oshun (he's deep):
Paulo:
Parker:
When I look at some of these, I think it's obvious the stylist was blindfolded. Kim Vo is the judge for this challenge, and will examine each cut and then rank the stylists in order. And the winner is.... DEE! Dee will have an advantage in the elimination challege. And in a very close second, Nicole. The bottom two are Nekisa and Oshun, with Oshun being put last. On to the elimination challenge. Every stylist has customers come in with a picture of a celebrity and want the stylist to make them look like that celebrity. Well, today is no different. But wait! It is! Here are your celebrities:
The advantage Dee gets? To get first pick. And then the rest pick in the order Kim Vo placed them. The results: Charlie does Marge:
And so does Matthew:
Daniel takes on Wilma:
Gail's version of Wilma:
Dee's Betty Boop:
Parker's Boop-boop-de-boop:
She's Glenn! She's Jem!
Nicole's a Jem girl, too!
Oshun was left with Lucy:
Nekisa got to pick from Lucy, or Lucy. Guess what? She picked Lucy.
Meredith chose "daughter Judy"
Paulo's Judy Jetson:
I thought Matthew made his model look like a very ugly drag queen. I'm not sure how Gail thought that resembled in any way Wilma Flintstone. Nicole's model did not want her hair colored at all. I loved, loved, LOVED Daniel's Wilma. I want that color for my hair! Guest judge Neeko Abriol (clients include Vanessa Williams, Mary J. Blige) joined Jaclyn, Kim, and what's-her-name from the magazine to decide this challenge. Middle of the pack: Dee, Meredith, Nicole, Glenn, Parker, Paulo Top three: Daniel, Nekisa, Charlie Bottom three: Matthew, Gail, Oshun Winner, with immunity for next elimination - Daniel And the one sent home - Oshun, he's deep.

Nichole's model in the elimation challenge was/is a model on either Project Runway or Janice Dickinson's trainwreck of a show. I cant find her pic/name anywhere but I am pretty sure she was on one of those shows. So I just wonder what she is doing on THIS show. are they all real models or aspiring model/actors getting their hair cut to get their face out there or what?!

I love this series....I don't consider it filler at all. Glad Sally isn't back on though, however, I may find that she wasn't that bad afterall.I haven't seen the first episode as I was on vacation this week, so I haven't read anyone else's responses..yet!  “I love Jesus but I drink a little”.

To me, it's filler in the sense that it only has about half the number of episodes - 8 last season, while Top Chef and Project Runway get 14-16 episodes. I'm not sure how many this season will get, because Project Runway is supposed to start in, what?, 3 weeks? I don't know if this is going to be a really quick season, or if they plan on moving to a different time slot.

Tabatha is back.....I just love her. Snarky, truthful and like a good chic cut, blunt. Quick cut challenge is long to short....some very impressive and some "what in the world were you thinking? Go back to "Great Clips." Ahhh, the Housewives of Orange County....they matched oranges with numbers to members of the show. I found this challenge quite frustrating as many of the wives wanted no changes....what was the stylist to do? Very unfair. I love the H's of OC, but this challenge wasn't a challenge. Kimberly, cut that hair off!!! It's not complimentary at all! Vicki, you daughter can make her own decisions, it's only hair. Laurie, no changes there AGAIN. Can't remember her name, but the dark color is getting a little too harsh, she's no longer Kara's age. And I agree, Kara's bangs needed to be a tad shorter. I was so hyped about this show, but it fell flat like a cheap haircut in a Louisiana summer.  “I love Jesus but I drink a little”. Gladys Hardy

Shortcut challenge - create an updo style that is interesting. The catch? The models all have really long hair, at least down to their waist, and in one instance, down to the floor, and they cannot cut even one strand of hair.Charlie:
Daniel:
Dee:
Gail:
Glenn:
Matthew:
Meredith:
Nekisa:
Nicole:
Paulo:
The bottom two were Nekisa (because she didn't put in an accessory as required) and Nicole, with Nekisa being declared the loser. Top two were Matthew and Charlie, with Matthew (who's so in love with his wife, in case you missed one of the thousand times he told us) getting the nod. So for the elimination challenge, they are to create a style for the red carpet. Matthew gets the advantage of choosing his client first, and then assigning the order that the others get to pick. But there's a catch (again). Instead of picking the actual model, they make their choices based on the evening gown. Charlie:
Daniel:
Dee:
Gail:
Glenn:
Matthew:
(The hair did not look this good when they were judging. The model told Matthew her hair would not hold a curl, and she was right. The curls had completely fallen out during the runway show.) Meredith:
Nekisa:
Nicole:
Paulo:
Top three: Charlie, Glenn, Gail Winner, with immunity next week, Charlie! for 2 weeks in a row. Bottom three: Nicole, Matthew, Paulo And Matthew gets to go home to his wife.

Started with some coloring challenge that Kenisha screwed up and then blamed her sink. Paulo was the other one in the bottom. Top 2 were Dee and Charlie - easy choices, with Charlie winningThe main challenge featured a "Charlie's Angels" challenge, with Kate jackson as guest judge. The stylists had to pair up - Charlie picked teams, and acted as a roving stylist - and take three women, and give them updated versions of the Charlie's Angels hairstyles. Not a single one of them "got it", and there was no winner declared. And they got scolded by Jaclyn for sucking so badly. Nekisa and Glenn were the worst, and Glenn got the boot.

Random thoughts about the episode in no particular order:Paulo at least recognized that he made a mistake. Nikesa never does. Is this a first that they didn't think any of them were worthy of winning? Too funny. The three strong contestants in my eyes: Nicole, Charlie and Dee. Although I like Paulo too. Charlie is being quite a nuisance. To think we only see portions, he would drive me wild. Kate was almost as incoherent as Farrah. Did she ever really give any true critique? Both Kate and Jaclyn are still quite attractive.....  “I love Jesus but I drink a little”. Gladys Hardy

Ugh, I would have had a hard time letting Charlie touch my mother (God rest her soul). Just because he turns me off. Once in a while, he does pull out a great 'do, though.So far, I want a Dee/Nicole/Daniel finale', with Dee winning.  “I love Jesus but I drink a little”. Gladys Hardy

On Bravo....Tabatha's Salon Takeover!I love this show. She tells them what they need to hear, however, I do find her a bit unprofessional when she talks like a sailor. I was more shocked when she cussed in front of a customer. That disappoints me to much since I loved her on Shear Genius, and I think she knows what she's talking about. When the one guy called her Cruela Deville, I kinda had to laugh because she's so starkly pail and always wears black.
