I caught the last 5-10 minutes. Jaclyn Smith didn't say a word during that time. What does she contribute? I couldn't place the "host"...who is she?

Jaclyn Smith (host) welcomed them all in and sort of gave her opinion on the "short cut" challenge which gave the winner first choice of the model.

Elimination challenge: hair art

salon director: renee (mr. jay/tim gunn type role)

Jaclyn introduced the judges and and explained the "rules"
Judges: Sally hershberger-celebrity stylist, michael carl-fashion director allure mag
guest judge-fredrick fekkai-salon owner

during judging jaclyn offered her opinion and leaded the discussions somewhat (i couldnt really tell if she was an actual judge or not) then she gave the results

Winner: theodore is a "cut above the rest"-hairstyle=treasure chest hat with fish netting down the back

Sorry for the mix-up in my earlier post. I didn't watch the last 5-10 minutes, it was probably midway through the show-the blonde guy won some challenge, but it wasn't an elimination. And for the brief period of time I watched, JS just stood there, which is why I asked about what she's doing on this.
Again, I apologize for not knowing what I was talking about...I was up late watching NHL playoffs, and am still bleary-eyed...lol
I'll probably get sucked into this show like I did with Work Out and Desperate Housewives of OC - during a marathon. Too much hockey going on for me to find time for a new show.

I actually rather liked this show...worlds better than Top Design. I liked Jaclyn Smith in this show.

i'll have to watch another show before i decide if i like it or not. i'm curious about lacey, the young girl with blonde, medium-length hair. i think she was in the bottom 3.

years ago there was a young girl on jay leno. he stopped her on the street and asked her questions. she became popular on his show for her dumb answers. i only remember one question/answer. she was shown a photo of the Hindenberg. when asked what it was, she answered "Titanic".

well that girl looks and sounds like lacey. now, i've got to figure out how i'm going to find out the girl's name on leno. lol

darn, i have to leave. i googled "jaywalking, hindenburg", "jay leno, jaywalking". i found one on youtube. not the right one. i'll check again later. i can't believe this is bugging me enough to google it. lol

This sounds like a fun show. I didn't see it (TV1 is showing Roots this week), but I had stopped my usual Wed. 10 PM Bravo watching after the first week or two of Top Design. It was NO Top Chef or Project Runway. However, I've now tivo'ed Shear Genius, so I'll get sucked back in rather easily, I suspect.

I actually liked this show and think it has lots of promise. When I first saw who was hosting the show I had my doubts - but JS actually added to the show and I left impressed. Way better than Top Design and the contestants are over the top characters..

Well, I'm no stylist nor am I dressing people for a runway or whatever place they might need "hair art," but that was the weirdest thing I've ever seen! Most of it was soooooooo ugly! Not to mention the "short cut" they picked - it looked like something I would do making a mistake! So many of them were all cut uneven to look "hip" or something, but I doubt you'd find many people wearing any of them for everyday. People would think they got a "hack job" at home! LOL I'll give it another chance, I guess!

I was amazed Paul John was let go. First, because he was a real character and in that sense would contribute to the show. Second, because he had a really beautiful haircut (Jacyln Smith style to some extent) in the short cut section, and it stood out from all the rest. In fact, I thought it should have been the winner. The blonde who came in second to last I think should have gone. Don't remember even what she did for short cut, and thought playing it safe was worse than taking a risk and getting it wrong.

I loved all the divas. There is going to be lots of drama on this show.

I only saw the last part of the show with the wild hairstyles. Some looked good and some looked like pure crap like Paul-Jean's.

I wish they had shown the loser's hair art again. I am confused. Which was his?

Sallycat, you can find a pic of the loser's hair art HERE.

If there is a Mod around on this thread, maybe we could get a link to the show's website fixed to the top of this thread (like other threads do)? HERE is the link to the Shear Genius website!

If you go here:
http://www.bravotv.com/Shear_Genius/rate/episode_101/anthony.shtml

you can see all the "final" hairstyles w/the designer's name at the top right corner. It's called "Do or Don't" and you can get 3 views of each style. At the bottom of the big picture are thumbnails of all 12 hairstyles.

was the "hair art" the first episode? either way, it was the first show i saw. that's why i want to wait to comment on whether i think it's worth watching.

regarding the "hair art" show, i have no opinion because i have no understanding of "hair art". i don't remember any haircut that was outstanding. only remember the haircuts i hated. i'll have to check the website before i post on that to get the names.

while watching the show, though, i did think the marie antoinette style was the best. still wouldn't have bet a penny on what the judges would think. the box on a head? i had no idea how that would go. i thought it was clever and cute; again, no clue if that "works" on a runway. but i guess those who are front row during fashion week understand this.

so, if the box worked...would a little birdcage w/fake bird (that i'm sure Michael's would have...i used to go there in the '80's) work? birdcage on head, hair would be pulled out of the bars. then i'd make wings from the hair. some blue too for the sky. but the blue might be too "obvious" and judged not creative.

think i have a chance next season? lol

beth, i agree with you about letting him go. even if his "art" was bottom, producers in similar shows keep them on as long as possible (as you know)....just for the entertainment. lacey and a few others should have gone before him imo.

The "hair art" WAS the first episode. I had trouble on a lot of them telling which was the hair and which the "add-ons". I wonder if it was easier to tell in person.

Thanks for the links. One hour for the short cut (which is some cases was NOT very short) and two hours for the art contest, should have given them plenty of time.
I wondered if Paul Jean's french accent was real. If not, it might have been hard to maintain for the long run.
I hope it isn't all over the top and we get to see some good work too. I guess the point is to get to know the stylists, not just their work.

I had fun watching this being a former hair stylist. If you guys have never been to a hair show, OMG. It's a hoot! I too, hope it doesn't turn into a big ol' drama fest. I want to see actual work. Although, drama kind of goes with the job, lol.
